Thoughts on atomic wristwatches?

Presenting the ORIS OCEAN TRILOGY:
3 shitters in a box made of literal garbage, yours for only $10,500. Peak luxury

>>15924209
daring and innovative
rolex wishes they could do this

>>15924201
A cesium atomic watch would be cool. Unfortunately I don't think they've downsized them enough to fit on your wrist yet. So radio controlled watches are as good as we can get.

>>15924196
there u go anon

I, Me !1n6WugqKa6, am a prison whore and a slut for horsecum. I eat cum from all sentient beings. I get high by snorting sand. I drink mouthwash as an alcoholic beverage. I give the best advice on /fa/. I am beautiful and intelligent. Watches are outdated and stupid obsolete shit

>>15924239
how'd you go about swapping movements?

>>15924241
fucking sex pest

>>15924251
I had to have a watchmaker do it. It was a 6r20/NE20 movement.
The parts you need to swap into the 6r15 are: Balance-wheel, anchor, escapement, hairspring, mainspring and the hacking lever.

>first he has shouts
>like a retard he has no self awareness of course
>he says rolex is only hype
>while every oris shitter is shilled by every fagtuber.
>and then he says
>daring and innovative
>so I donated 10 million to autism awareness foundations
>bc I’m not some poorfag oris owner

>>15924263
Do you feel like a $400 watch was worth that effort/investment

gonna post this again because apparently i'm not supposed to like this brand. What's wrong with it?

>>15924265
>being so whimpy he doesnt dare to reply directly to the post

>>15924273
Either people like it or outright hate it

>>15924271
yep.
it's actually a 700 dollar watch now, ignoring what I've put into it. they've gone up a stupid amount.
this will be my daily forever. I have a 62mas and a GS but this is my favorite watch cause I went full autist pouring over the seiko movement manuals trying to figure out if the parts were compatible and now I have a watch thats a proof of concept.

>>15924294
I love my sarb alpinist, but I feel like if I cared enough about improving the movement I'd just buy a 2020 alpinist

>>15924297
>2020 alpinist

>be multi billion dollar swiss company
>threaten to sue a small fried chicken stall ran by a BIPOC

>A local ayam penyet hawker playfully spoofed Swiss watchmaker Audemars Piguet’s logo and tagline, and ended up having to watch his words when the latter served up a lawyer’s letter citing trademark infringement.
>Nornizam ‘Nizam’ bin Amin, 49 is a watch enthusiast who owns halal food stall 'Rayyan’s Waroeng Upnormal' at Amoy Street Food Centre. “I can’t afford all those luxury watches, but I do love watching them,”. The hobby horologist also has a sideline business making customised watches from OEM parts. As his Ayam Penyet (fried chicken) shares the same acronym as the luxury watch brand, Nizam had the idea to create a fun graphic riffing on the famous AP logo for his stall’s staff uniform. “My friend’s friend is a graphic designer based in Jakarta, so I communicated with him and he came up with this,” he shares.
>The brand’s original tagline of “le maître de l'horlogerie depuis 1875 (the master of watchmaking since 1875)” was also modified to become “le maître du poulet frit depuis 2014 (the master of fried chicken since 2014)”.
>Late last year, Nizam printed the logo on a small batch of T-shirts and stickers for his pals, and displayed the sticker at his stall. It quickly went viral online . Netizens were tickled by Nizam’s wit, with some requesting to buy his ‘AP’ T-shirt.

>>15924396
Watchmakers brand is literally all they have to sell their overpriced trinkets. That's why they're so butthurt if it is devalued or mocked in some way.

If it was illegal to put brand names on watches prices and the market would instantly plummet. Since people would start buying for practicality and features.

Watch buying is mostly an irrational emotional purchase on the belief that these worthless wrist bling imbues heritage and personality somehow to the wearer.

>>15924445
That's why you buy vostok, heritage, in house movements, and a quality build.

>>15924450
all for sub $100

>>15924445
based as fuck. I still gladly get swayed by emotions as a consoomer though

>>15924411
>LHD

>>15924450

>>15924273
It's fine if you're a nigger.

>>15924521
That's Russia's fault, I ordered mine on the 18th and had it on the 3rd, not bad. I ordered from Zentiar on ebay though as meranom didn't have what I wanted in stock.

>>15924273
>What's wrong with it?
Everything about this is awful. It's a hideous faux tool watch for women.

>>15924549
>It's a hideous faux tool watch for women.

>>15924273
>Its proportions ensure it sits perfectly on any wrist. Gender Neutral.
I guess it's for really fat women then, with a case size of 42mm.

>>15924552
This is hideous, gaudy and ostentatious, but I still like it more than the Hublot.

>>15924555
>This is ugly and tasteless as shit but I still like it because it says ROLEX

ok, lmao

>>15924559
I like the two tone sub dials. I'd never buy a Rolex, but I could understand some tacky Persian street seller owning something like this far more than I can understand anyone owning that Hublot.

>>15924552
This looks really nice, much better than their regular shit.

>>15924273
The only Hublot I'd ever consider owning, and this is only if I had retard money and maximum melanin.

Anyone know a digital UTC watch with a built in interval timer (similiar to GymBoss)?

>>15924640
interval timer?

>>15924682
Like one of those small gymboss timers. You punch in your two times, for instance 1 minute and 2 minutes, and the amount of intervals so maybe like 5. So it'll count to one minute, beep, then count to 2 minutes, beep and repeats that 5 times.

>>15924263
Huh, why is the hacking lever different? Also, where did you get the donor from?
I love doing movement upgrades, but besides swapping a 7S26 for an NH36, it's easier with vintage watches because there are so many beat up donors around.

>>15924263
>>15924692
No wait, I'm dumb. The higher beat balance wheel is probably smaller and the hacking lever needs to touch that.

>>15924692
>>15924693
bought the movement off of Ebay, but I'm also reasonably sure you could find them at the usual places like cousins.uk and startimesupply
I didn't realize the hacking lever was too small until I got it back and it didn't hack. But yep, you got it. It's slightly longer so that it can touch it.

>>15924450
lol came into the thread to ask for

thanks for reminding me, 'cause its probably the only manufacturer that is this and don't (You) me to say that rolex or some brand like that is plebe-tier cheap

What happened to the guy with the DHL issues because of an extra bracelet? I'm still thinking about it.

>>15924700
also
luch
orient
casio

>>15924411
Theyre pretty cool watches IMO. Stock bracelet sucks and movement has a really loud rotor, but otherwise its a cool watch.

HOLY SHIT how is this so cheap?

>>15924744
The rise of the cheap Chinese tourbillon

>>15924725
>luch
don't know much about them, but granted
>orient
thought about them but they're under the soiko umbrella, still top notch though
>casio
granted, did they ever make mechanicals?

>>15924762
luch one handers are very kino and they still using the same ancient movement from decades ago

orient is under seiko umbrella but they are pretty autonomous and offer great value, they are probably one of the the forthmost brands to beat <$500

>>15924726
lol that wrist lmaooo pusssy!

>>15924396
That’s hilarious thanks for sharing this. Chinese knockoffs are getting better and better every year. You can barely tell the difference from a fake and real anymore under a microscope. and they are worried about chicken

...uhhhh ok now this will become unobtanium or +$100

>>15924724
I feel bad because i told him to get the extra bracelet, i think he got his watch finally and posted it a few threads ago.

>>15924724
He probably killed himself, he seemed mentally deranged.

>>15924860
Love the gs, hate that specific nomos, should have a minimatik instead, indifferent about the omegas. Did you get the new new speedmaster?
How about a vintage inspired diver? How about something square, something precious metal. Would love to see a fun vintage credor in there.

Can someone find me a fake black ana-digi quartz Breitling, do they even exist? I can't find one anywhere.

Guys I have a 6.2 inch wrist, what size would be suitable? There is one 43mm citizen I would really want to buy, but I think it might be too big

>>15924860
nice watches but too safe
you need a colourful summer shitter

>>15924870

In all seriousness. Why even consider it? What joy would wearing a fake give you? And it'll be an expensive fake to be anywhere near passable.

If you save you can get something nice. I saved and saved and bought a £350 timepiece recently and I can't stop looking at it. I love it, I love the way it makes me feel.

Do I fucking love the look of Breitling and Wessex Watches? of course, will I EVER be able to afford one?...of course not...

But Itd be madness to buy a fake and not feel the joy of wearing a real Swiss or Japanese peice even if it's a 20th if the price.

>>15924903
Look at lug to lug, at 6.2 inches a 47mm lug to lug measurement is the absolute max you can get away with. If its not listed on websites selling it YouTube reviewers usually take measurements and mention them towards the beginning of their videos.

>>15924903
lug to lug and shape (round, square) is more important
for a 6.2 your maximum would be approx 46-49mm L2L

>>15924903
6.2 is pretty small, I'd stick with "vintage" sized watches. What Citizen do you want to buy? There's like a million billion of them, even in 43 mm.

>>15924909
>>In all seriousness. Why even consider it? What joy would wearing a fake give you?
The joy of paying $650 for a design that normally costs $6500? LMFAO retard.

>>15924870
>>15924921
>$650
you can get a homage for $100
and there are some pretty nice watches to be had for $650
both are infinitely better than wearing a fake and getting caught on it

>nobody will think you're a poorfag retard

>>15924860
the new omega seamaster on the upper left is cringe, is reeks of soulless modernity

the speedmaster is an all time classic, but the 12 penis bothers me

that GS is based, simple dial, indexes and hands, no non sense at all, the case, the lugs, the crown, pretty much perfect

the nomos is objectively good looking, im just not a fan of the subdial seconds in general

>>15924860
Really digging the GS. Great strap choice. Indifferent about the rest of them but obviously nicer watches than I keep in my shitter box so talking shit would be retarded.
>post your collection
I'll be a punching bag, why not. Waiting on my $99 Chinesium flieger to round out the shitter pile.

>>15925008
Good watch box to get?

>>15925014
Depends on what you define as "good." There are dozens of relatively inexpensive boxes on Amazon that have passable looks and construction. For legitimately high quality boxes I have no idea where your best bet would be.

Very good, casioman.

My gf told me pic related is ugly af. Should I beat her up?

>>15925025
knock her teeth out, it's a win win

Did i screw up /wt/?

>>15925025
Tell her "just like you, yet here you are." Then she'll know the more she pushes you to get rid of ugly shit, the more likely she is to go out with the watch. Always keep the pimp hand strong my man.

>>15924962
Is the h-link bracelet comfortable? I am not a fan of the date window but otherwise i live it.

>>15925029
yeah

Not a rolex poster.

Is there any dive watch that is as timeless as the sub. It seems to look good on absolutely everything and dressy or casual. Have i just be conditioned into thinking that.

Are there any alternatives (sub 1k preferably) that are as versatile.

I hate myself for liking it as much as I do. In general I'm not a rolex fan boy and I don't want to spend the next 5 years buying cellinis to earn goodboy points to buy one.

The only thing I've seen that comes close is the Yema. I've heard bad things about their QC however.

Please save me from the path to rolex hell

>>15925037
Nope that's it, Rolex is the only watch that makes sense to buy anymore.

>>15924962
Im still waiting for my 556i to get returned. 2 months now after 5 weeks of waiting after ordering.

I'll give them covid benefit of the doubt, but fuck it its been a drag

>>15925025
She is right, get something respectable looking. Something about that particular model paired with the nato screams watch for an eight year old. Just get one of the metalic casios on a metal bracelet and she will love it.

>>15925029
>T swiss made T
That tea means tritium lume right?
Is it a real vintage piece? I love the 90s look.

>>15925037
Since the Rolex Submariner is the Fender Stratocaster of the watch world there's hundreds of tributes and homages out there for any budget that look pretty much like the Sub. Depending on how close or original you want your ripoff to be they can be had for way under 1k USD. Steinhart basically does nothing but decent homages to all kinds of Rolexes for the ~500 USD bracket.
Original designs under that number are basically dominated by Seiko, Citizen and Casio.

>>15925037
You could argue whether there is a decent alternative to a submariner at any price point. Nothing below $1k will even come close. If you like the idea of the sub which used to be a real diver with a reliable movement at a reasonable price, buy a Tudor BB58.

You probably won’t be happy with it though. Just save your money and get raped on the second hand market for a sub. It’s a lot less cucked than bending over for an AD.

>No AR coating
Is this a problem?

>>15925048
Yeah, and i feel totally uninspired by it. Feels like just any other cheap quartz you can barely feel the weight in your hand.

>>15925037
Look through
https://www.gnomonwatches.com/collections/steinhart
And see if any of those are acceptable to you.
Otherwise under 1k is pretty slim pickings, microbrands, homages, weird ugly stuff.
Personally i would recommended looking at the sin 556/series and damasko watches, they arent divers but they are versatile tool watches that will go with lots of outfits.

>>15925065
AR is nice, but it would not be a deal breaker for me if I liked everything else about a watch. Not all AR coating is created equal either. I've had watches with crappy AR that looked worse than watches without it. Good AR coating is pretty great though, Seiko has done a fantastic job with that on their SARX line.

>>15925076
>actually buying tag heuer
Why? People were shilling and actually recommending that dogshit brand last week in this thread. Hilarious - they’re trash.

>>15925086
Yeah, learnt my lesson anon sadly.

>>15925053

Ideally I'd like something with it's personality which is why I think I've been drawn to the Yema Superman.

I've browsed through Seiko a fair bit and there is nothing that really speaks to me. Everything seems a bit bloated. They all could do with being a couple of mm smaller

the world of watches just seems to be full of "almost but not quite" options

I've been repairing watches for a year now and finally got annoyed with rolling the cleaned mainsprings in by hand (it's not good practice anyway) and pulled the trigger on a mainspring winder. It's one of the only tools that both have a lot of use even for a hobbyist, and still really have no decent budget options (there are chinese clones of the insanely expensive bergeon tools, that are just somewhat expensive and the quality is apparently not great). So vintage and adjustable it is, should be enough for my needs. Still probably most expensive single tool I have, especially for the size.

>>15925090
Live and learn. Hope the damage wasn’t too bad.

I know a few people who post in /wt/ seem to like the 90s tag look. Personally I think they look pretty awfyul

Just sell it on anon. How much did you buy it for ? even if you lose a little on reselling it, people make more expensive mistakes every day.

What other watches do you own ? What made you go for it ?

>>15925128
Blue sunburst version of >>15925123 because I got two of them when they used to be dirt cheap (like $5 each) before people bought them out on eBay.

>>15924864
They make a good watch for the money (grey / used prices)

>>15924866
I'm planing a Reverso, don't know to go duo face or not.

>>15924873
?

>>15924884
They the GS is so nice in person, it can't really be photographed. The minimatik really isn't my to my taste, the Orion is my favourite nomos and I think it will age better vs there other models. It's gone off vintage inspired watches like the BB58, in years to come I think they will be the mullets of the watch world. Yea I'm planing a Reverso next year just need to pick my ref. Thought about the new speedmaster, I have the micro adjustable clasp so the new bracelet gripes me with 1 adjustment......

>>15924908
I'm not a fan of coloured dials, blue dials are okay. Datejust and sub blue dials are nice. I think colour dials age badly, get boring quickly and are hard to wear with a lot of clothes.

>>15924995
Lifes to short to wear beaters

>>15925005
In all honestly the seamaster is holding me over for a no date sub, if I every get the call. If not I'll come back my diver in 2-3 years, I have other watches to buy anyway (reverso, a heavy hitters and maybe a el primero) but I do like the 300m but not attached to it like the speedmaster and GS which I bought before a reverso incase they stopped making it. I could live without a diver to be far. GS is perfect and the Orion is better in person, it's case is like a pebble and dial is very dynamic.

>>15925008
I uses to have a box just like this, Seiko turtles, hked and so on. Nothing wrong with it. I'm collecting 7+ years so my collection has changed alot. You buy what you can afford to put into watches, people have other commitments. Few post their collections so fair play.

>>15925019
Reverso > Master Control personally, if I was going to get a JLC other than that it would be the JLC deepsea chrono.

>>15924193
Question for those knowledgeable. I make 60k a year, and that will go up to about 96k within the next 3 years. I have 38k saved for a house with no outstanding debt but I don't want to dig into that. Is it worth it to take out a loan for ~7k to get a tudor/ rolex now?

>>15925029
I like tags but not that model

>>15925108
It’s a mall brand with weak design language that does horribly on the second hand market. They spend too much money on celebrity endorsements and not enough on their watches.

However, last year they made the best decision of the last decade by headhunting Carole Forestier-Kasapi from Cartier. She was the head of their innovative movements division since 99 and was behind the push for Cartier to move from a jeweler to bonafide movement manufacturer. She even got Cartier to produce a Geneva Seal (!!!) watch in 2008. She’s also responsible for virtually all their HH watches of which there are surprisingly many.

They also recently got a fresh, young CEO - but he is untested. Who knows what direction he’ll take the brand, but anything is better than what they’re doing now. If he just lets Forestier work then they’ll probably be a serious brand in the next 5 years.

>>15925138
Personally, no. However, what something is worth is also dependent on your desire to possess it.

>>15925138

>>15925138
It is never worth it to take out a loan on a watch.

>>15925146

>>15925108
As other anon mentioned, they are just a mediocre watchmaker pushing out generic and unimpressive watches with little in the way of features and design that would command a luxury price. They are outclassed by sub-$1000 watches in many respects yet have solely focused on marketing and getting celebrity types to endorse said mediocre watches which people who don't know better would then eat up and proceed to buy. They have potential as anon mentioned, but it is unrealized as of present.

>>15925146
It’s thiccer than a Colombian’s ass

>>15925136
Yeah. Watches are just not something I can ever bring myself to spend significant money on. I certainly have the means and dump far more money into other hobbies, but every time I've been on the verge of splurging on something like a Grand Seiko, I take a third of the money I was going to spend and dump it into investments then save the rest. To each their own, I just cannot justify the investment regardless of how financially secure I may be at the time. The budget grade shitters have always satisfied my love of watches. Different strokes.

>>15925097
>the world of watches just seems to be full of "almost but not quite" options
that is very true, this "hobby" is not very fun when you have a strict budget.
I think your ebst move is to either get a German watch in your price range (entry level Sinn or Damasko) or save up for a Tudor.

>>15925102
neat

>>15925138
No, absolutely not. If you are not willing or able to buy it outright then it's a frivolous purchase and paying APR for a piece of jewelry is a terrible decision. My .02 anyway.

>>15925138
Abso fucking lutely no! A limited release $10k watch will appreciate no more than 2-5% after many years, at best it will keep up with inflation. If a wristwatch is that important to you, you wouldn't ask 4chan. Me? I feel weird and act differently with a watch worth a couple racks on my wrist. Expensive watches get scratched, dinged, dented just like chinkshit. Yeah the sapphire crystal is harder, but they're not impervious. And the steel isn't fucking high carbon tempered knife blade steel. They all scratch, and so you have to act like a bitch princess wearing them.

I HAVE however, taken several loans out last year - strictly to put into crypto currencies. The best pump, I gained >400% on AAVE. The worst, was a 20% gain on some other shit coin. BTC is my savings account.

3.65% interest on $18k. I'll screenshot of you want.

Hell, I would honestly say you're better off taking loans out to reload .223 and build custom AR15s. Parts are dirt cheap still if you know where to look.

>>15925182
>Reload .223
Good luck, primers are gone. Demand is high obviously, but major ammunition plants are receiving 3%-10% of their primer orders. The metals market is also driving the hike as it is all fucked up.
>Custom AR15s
That's dumb. You're better off just buying and reselling legitimately good uppers from reputable manufacturers. Though there are a lot of stupid people out there so the "custom AR15" market might be viable.

Probably done buying watches for the foreseeable future beyond that though. As far as dress watches, my two Seikos keep me content on that front.

You type like a retard, but you're objectively right. Always funny watching dudes try and defend buying the most boring safe watches imaginable by saying shit like 'uhh I just happened to like all these bland watches dude'.

What's sad is that one or two of those watches in a sensible collection would look fine. But all 4 of them together? It's just soulless consumerism with no thought given beyond 'I need the popular watches'.

What's even more terrifying is the idea that this guy doesn't even realise he made bland crowdpleasing decisions. The man who buys 4 reddit watches is sad, but the guy who buys 4 reddit watches without even understanding why his taste is so terrible? I'd rather be dead.

This is my first reply to you, it's other anons, I've had a lot of watches 40+ and I know what I like now oh and the 231 is the best GS they make. The 231 and orion are not even that popular. You relate simple classic designs with soulless......

I honestly think my collection is personal to me, you don't know my history or thought / buying process, I wanted a speedy for the history, before I was into watches I had my eye on it, stroke a cord with me as I'm a huge sicfi / nasal fan. My Dad had pre moon speedy before I was born, which he flooded diving!!! Boomers! and I only found out after I was set on getting one, the orion was the first nice watch I wanted to buy myself but didn't have the money so I bought a CW C5 Malvern MkII in Uni for £370 and now the Orion is a very satisfying watch for me to own now, I never liked any GS watches but I feel in love with the 231 instantly, I have had a few vintage omegas but they are a headaches, I like the PP calatrava but the design isn't perfect (dates or somethings off), the GS is 2 birds with 1 stone and better than both aesthetically in my options. Seamaster I upgraded from the older blue ref which was a mistake maybe but it was a £500 different as my old 300m needed a service still working on that one and how I feel about it 75% love it.

I just think you always go to no soul comment by default, I think it was you to when I posted my Sekio turtle in my collection years ago and I bought that I Japan in a wee cosy family used watch shop. I'd have more respect for you if you posted your collection with your post.

They might have actually done too good of a job of making it look like an old watch. But i guess if you reaaly want a vintage syle diver without having to deal with owning a vintage watch this really nails it. Looks exactly like some shitter you would get out of a sears catalog in the 70s

>>15926053
Is there a watch that says yes to racism and if so, where can I buy it?

>>15926059
Like another anon said earlier, "the man makes the watch." It's the stories, experiences, and the sentimentality of watches that so many of us love. The "objective" aspects are merely secondary. Why did Paul Newman's Daytona attract nearly $18 million at auction? It had little to do with the actual model of watch or its technical specifications or its condition or even its rarity (other examples of the exact Rolex Daytona reference go for 50x less). It was because of who owned it and the particular story and meaning attached to it.

I've only been on /wt/ for a few weeks and have noticed several of your posts. I'm glad to hear you say your watch collection is personal to you. It should be! In my opinion, it shouldn't be about anything else.

I have considered posting my collection of watches here a few times (which I am rather proud of), but I've decided against it because every piece I have has a meaningful story attached to it and I don't want any anonymous troll to try to taint my view of my own watches.

I kinda hate what is becoming of "watch culture." Watches are being covered and reviewed online as if they're any other piece of consumer shit, like phones or computers or electric toothbrushes or whatever else. It's disheartening.

>>15926053
>Time for tolerance
>Say no to racism

>>15926086
There is some brand that makes weird nazi larp watches that get as close to the line of plausible deniability as possible without putting swastikas or SS insignias on the dial. I forget the name.

>>15926059
It’s not worth arguing with people who will not post their collection. The chance is very high that they only own Seikos/Casios/microbrands and have deluded themselves into thinking cheap, colorful, ugly little things equal SOUL, whatever that means.

>" Watches are being covered and reviewed online as if they're any other piece of consumer shit,
But they are, and always have been.

The difference is that watches back in the past, and some cheap shitters today, performed a function. People don't spend a ten grand on a watch now because it does anything better than other watches, they do it just to consume.

Modern watches are so soulless because they're just glorified jewellery.

>>15926059

>>15926178
that is true but the compass is an integral part of the quirky dork appeal of the alpinist. Without the compass a lot of the character is gone. Its "just another field watch" in a moldy catalog of field watches.

its like the raketa windrose without the compass. Nobody buys this model.

>>15926142
>>15926165

Seiko SARB017 Alpinist

>>15926142
this is kinda an aside to this specific model, but since I've had my SARB017 modded to have a higher bph fairly easily with parts from a 6r20/NE20 it does kinda annoy me theres no 28,800bph watch thats under 2k new in Seikos inventory.
I dunno about the rest of you guys but I could give a fuck about an additional 20 hr power reserve when it already has 50. Especially if it's an everyday wearer like the way these watches are being pitched. Just my 2 cents.

>>15926162
>hold value
>under $500
only select memewatches like the sarb017/skx007, popular gshocks that are out of production(that grey casioak) or very limited edition microbrands(zelos etc) will hold value. The rest all loses value to varying degrees.

its not a real reason to choose a watch anyway
especially not at that price point
just get a watch you love and forget about "value retention", you'll be much happier wearing it.

>>15926165
You mean the useless bezel that wasn't actually a compass? Thank god it's not on this one.

>>15926165
The "compass" is useless, the watch compass trick doesn't need a shitty fake bezel to work.
Also nobody would care about the alpenis if it wasn't memed so hard, it's really ugly and its "heritage" is blown out of proportion

>>15926259
...and nobody will buy it
at $700 its up against all sorts of competition. Its helpless without the compass. Why get it when you can get a fuyugeshiki presage, a baltic aquascaphe or a marathon MSAR. You could literally get the old alpinist for $700. Nobody gives a shit about the extra 20 hours of power reserve.

>>15926285
yeah the compass is useless.
>memed so hard
it's a cult watch. bit like the sword hand Omega 2254.50 but way more popular.
>it's "heritage" is blown out of proportion
it's a line of watches going back forever but it only became 'the' alpinist that anyone actually gives a shit about in the 90's with the 4s15 versions. Still makes it more of a heritage product than half the watches that ppl schill on the internet and way more 'heritage' than possibly anything under 1k ignoring hamilton.

Good tier:

Alright tier:

>>15926387
It's some random micro brand i ran into looking through old worn and wound articles. They have been around since at least 2016 but i have never heard of them until a few hours ago. They seem legit, since they seem to be making a steady stream of new watches. The price seems about standard for microbrands using a miyota 9000 series movement. It's for sure less risky than some kikestarter from some brand that has never made a watch before, they are supposed to ship soon enough that it will be easy to do a charge back on your credit card if they never deliver.

>>15925274
Ok faggot.

Over 7+ years........ ffs, when did I say I loved them all, I knew at the time I was buying watches to try and have fun and the early I went through a lot the last 2 years not to many.

That a Seiko SUR all the way to the right? I just ordered the SUR317 as a baby-baby-Grand Seiko. What do you think of it? I love the classic Seiko aesthetics and was considering a SARB, but even $400 is too much for a watch in my eyes, especially when you can have almost identical looks from the same company for less. Any way you could throw it on a NATO and take a pic?
