>>15926639
It's super easy to get chink hands that copy the ones on both op and your pic and are perfectly fine build quality, just buy the watch you want and the hands you want and pay a watchmaker $30 to swap them for you.

>authentic vintage style

what does that even mean

>>15926637
I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Grand Seiko SBGA285

>>15926666
Instead of a vintage looking watch case that has a more modern style dial, that dial is 100℅ what you would get if you bought a cheap shitter skindiver out of a catalog in the 70s.

Man I loved my cuckoo clock when I was like 6. No one in the house knew how to set it properly so it would just blurt out the hour when I was trying to sleep.

Week three of the squarepill. I have developed a wrist rash. Is this common for casios? Switching to the right wrist for now.

I have possessed this watch for almost an year, and had been wearing it after a shower for 15 minutes before starting this review.
This watch smells like a *band-aid* that someone traded with *a hippie they'd spilled chai on*, so they apologetically donated their own band-aid, cleaned their own wound with *Bactine*, then dried out as well as they could and slapped on the dirty hippie's band-aid. Allow me to explain. [establishing shot] Coffee shop exterior, literally everything is *wood* to an inappropriate level, there is a filthy hippie, slouched, surveying around table-height, wearing a band-aid and a dark and handsome princely prince also with a band-aid, but fresh as he's just groomed, leaving the shop with his chai. The prince doesn't see the hippie, hunched over, scrambling for an ashtray that isn't there, bumps into him, spills his chai directly on the hippie's band-aid, apologizes, takes the hippie's band-aid, sprays him with Bactine [pocket Bactine!], swaps his dry, almost-clean, princely band-aid onto the hippie's "cigarette" burn or whatever, wrings the chai out of the hippie's band-aid as well as he can, sprays his own princely wound with Bactine, applies the hippie's band-aid. The hippie smelled like *patchouli*, obviously. Also, *there are flowers but like the corporate Plan-o-Gram kind and they always smell nice*.

It may be my absolute favorite watch, but I've only just received it and worn it. It's intoxicating, almost literally. One person's documented experience of this watch cannot really inform you, but I do insist that you smell this yourself. The comparison is valid and I recommend this over other Seikos, not that it's better, but you should likely get this one and possibly not another, so don't risk the capital.

>>15926844
>>15926853
This for both

Why they discontinue this?

>>15927018
So they can raise the price for it when they bring it back in limited numbers

>>15926797
I prefer to think of it as snake hands

>>15927018
It doesn't look like a patek and was just a kneejerk response to the success of the royal oak

>>15927018
So they can bring out a refreshed version in precious metal only.

>>15926848

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.


buying serious =/= buying soulless
where is your personal character in this collection? theres no YOU

?? of course it exists when buying specific watches are a conscious decison

a watch collection should be an extension of the person, not an investment portfolio

a guy who only buys gshocks obviously has a different personality from someone who only collects vintage dress pieces

the person cannot actually enjoy watch collecting and worries too much about making the "right" decision. And thus ends up with a weak spread of watches. Like damn, not even a nomos tetra or something very mildly interesting?

this is obviously not true
what clothes you wear everyday reflects your character

what watches you choose to like also reflects your character

you buy the watch to become a certain type of person, you're an extension of the watch, not the other way around.

>>15927018
They fear becoming a shell of a brand like AP

Tfw went to sleep and thread 404'd so I never got to respond. Just gonna repost the same picture for now as I have work soon.

I'm not Russian, but I do have a Russian friend who forwarded me the Vostok in pic related. Came brand new with all of its packaging and paperwork too. Looking to get it serviced soon.
>>15925699
It was made as a commemorative watch for an oil company back in 1995, really weird model, so it's not overly surprising that you won't have seen it before. I'd never seen one either until coming across this one.

for me it's the Oris Divers 75 x Momotaro

>>15927189
forgot pic

>>15700469

Dragging this post back up because I have just stumbled across a dial with all four elements: outside minutes, inner 12/24hr, and a seconds subdial.
Obviously not as classy as the vintage Longines posted in the thread, but probably more attainable.

Seems to be a Raketa sub-brand, Pobedo, and is usually listed as a "Pobeda laco" for some reason. Don't know anything else tho.

>>15927197
is that the handwind one?

>>15926637

Sloppy job OP

>>15927226
I didn't know there was a solely manual wind Divers 65. This one's an auto.

>>15926237
>it does kinda annoy me theres no 28,800bph watch thats under 2k new in Seikos inventory.
Yeah, especially since before the quartz crisis Seiko had a number of 4hz movements in their mid-range watches. Lord Matic Specials were, and they had a similar spot in the line-up as Presage now. The same movement, revived (4S line), is now used only in Credor I think. Going even cheaper, most of their basic women's watches were 4hz.

>>15927240
my bad, thats the hodinkee version in picrel
>>15927244
agreed. I feel like we're getting screwed on movements even if we are getting spoiled for external finishing on modern mid-tier Seikos imho.
even ETA had some 36,600bph movements that ended up in some real offbrand stuff like the Titoni Cosmo King and I think Rado back in the day. movements just generally speaking in the mid level are getting real fucking lazy if you ask me.

>>15927220
It's a Pobeda with a fake dial and hands to flip such slav garbage to schmucks on eBay like you.

>>15927220
its a frankenwatch, salvaged movement, printed dial with non working lume. such watches are commonly sold on etsy to unsuspecting/low info buyers at prices ($80+) far far beyond what they are worth (like $20). No real soviet vintage will have a dial and hands that clean

>>15927138
I wonder if Gazprom ever had a watch made.

>>15927016
>rape whistle
i'm not camping in chicago

>>15927343
Well a search is showing several different gazprom dialed vostoks and poljots so I guess so. How legit they are who knows.

>>15926947
HNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG

>>15927354
probably legit
vintage 80s case
vostok logo
signs of patina
export labelling
the wide space between 'made' and 'in ussr' is space for lume dots which this watch doesnt have
theres a whole bunch of these commerative vostoks and vostok juniors

>>15927018
It looks like an old TV from the 70s, so they're updating the model to look like a modern flat-screen Oled.

>>15926637
I can't decide on a watch. Got a $4k budget and preferably under 40mm with a steel bracelet

>>15927367

>>15927257
Anyone who cares about hi-beat buys quartz. The precisionist shits all over every auto, so what's the point in a stopgap like 36000 when even quartz shitters have 57600?

Your average layman doesn't care about the difference between 4 beats and 8 beats per second to begin with, all they care about is that it isn't 1 beat per second because that's the mark of the devil.

>>15927197
Will people think I'm a tranny online if I wear this watch?

>>15927481
what, why would they think that? wtf

>>15927448
I think this is the best looking 3 o'clock date window I've seen, actually colour and font matched to the rest of the dial wow

>>15927448
What’s that homosexual thing next to the ugly watch?

>>15927498
I'm guessing it represents a 9" nail.

>>15927448
>wearing metal jewelry next to watch and scratching the shit out of it

gross and fucking why


>The owner of this watch wore it on the same wrist as a large bracelet, which resulted in a significant amount of wear on the bottom edge of the watch from it rubbing against another metal surface for many years. Although the internal components of the watch were in decent condition, the extensive wear to the case and case-back prohibit the watch from ever being able to be sealed properly again.

>>15927481
maybe

>>15927507
couldn't this be fixed with laser welding now days?

>>15927388
-frankens and more frankens, cross reference always or ask WUS if you really cant tell
-incorrect or dishonest papers (when present) - you should look up catalog and match the model ref. number
-take the phrase "serviced and oiled by a master" with a grain of salt
-dont expect luxuries like a quick set date
-not all movements are equal, slava ones are kinda fragile (so ive heard), vostoks are the best

>>15927519
>>15927388
-always look for a pic of the movement or ask for one, it should be pristine, even on an very old watch (ie watch was well sealed). Anything other than near spotless clean will give you hassle and potential issues thats not worth the low price of the shitter in the 1st place

sellers who dont outright have a movement photo i usually just skip them

Would silver be a good pick. Barely more expensive than steel and its softer so only the silver would get scratched? Maybe just wood or leather would be best

Wtf lads... Are they insane? This is €30k

>>15927740
It's amazing, I'm just really annoyed that they didn't put in the effort to have the stem off center so it sits in the same place as it does on the apple watch. Sure it would be a pain in the ass from an engineering standpoint but they could do it if they wanted to.
Thr totally black watch with the minute repeater in the same case is still the best iteration.

>>15927740
It's just an update to something Moser have done before. It is a fun/joke piece for people with lots of disposable money. They can go into their meetings looking like they are wearing an Apple watch while secretly knowing they are wearing high horology.

>>15927733

>>15927716

>>15927733
>Omega trash instead of a vostok
Yikes

>>15927740
People with enough money and lacking enough sense to spend that much on a watch will do it just for the memes/snowflake appeal. Weirder and less practical you can make it for the price, the more likely you are to attract that type. Not a dig, life is short and if people enjoy pissing away an entry-level year's salary on something like that, more power to them.

>>15927507

omega speedmaster is such a fucking gay watch. I'm sick of seeing that disgusting piece of overpriced kike shit in these threads. It's boring, it's overpriced, and it can't even go in water.

>>15927018
Patek has open contempt for the Nautilus and the Aquanaut and rightfully so does not want to become "Nautilus: The Brand" like AP has done with the Royal Oak. They'll keep the precious metal versions and maybe bring back a steel version in like 10 years.

>>15928059
Is the implication that the hideous Casio in your picture is a better piece of design? Fucking kek

barely left my home with this shitter and it already got scratched, will poly watch fix it?
also idk if it's just a problem with my watch or just the shitter movement but so far it has only gone one full 8 hours night without stopping and it's because I shaked it for a minute before going to bed

>>15927767
>>15927838
It's 40mm on a steel bracelet. It's a sports watch.

>>15928079
Nah, it's hardlex, literally the worst crystal material, easy to scratch, difficult to polish. Accept imperfection, embrace it.

>>15928079
The power reserve on those SNKs is pretty damn low. Their accuracy is mediocre at best even when operating on full reserve. That being said they are the quintessential next-to-no-budget entry level babby's first mechanical watch for the masses. They take a surprising amount of abuse and keep ticking. I've had mine for a long time and even had the rotor disconnect from the shaft. Opened it up, torqued it back on and was up and running again. Don't sweat the scratches, those watches look better after being well abused. Don't sweat the lack of power reserve, your experience is perfectly normal. If you want improvement, be prepared to spend more.

>>15928079
If you bought it on amazon just return it and get a new one

>>15928059
>disgusting piece of overpriced kike shit in these threads

This. It's such an emasculated söy watch.

>>15928079
I wouldn't worry about it. Time to get a watch that you can handwind and with sapphire. Seiko 5s are great for dipping your toes into mechanical and then you throw them in the trash and buy something better.

>>15928088
>Dress watches can't have steel bracelets

>Your rules mean nothing to anyone
Fucking based, I'm sick of neckbeards in these threads reciting 100 year old fashion trends like they are unchangeable laws of dressing.

>>15928106
They hate it because it's popular and because the big gay boogeymen from plebbit like them. If offered a free one they'd wear it all the time and change their tune.

What are some known brands that makes modern pocket watches?. I know Tissot has a line of pocket watches and Laco also has a model. Any brand else?

>>15928114
They've got little else to cling to anon. Knowing the "rules" and attempting to enforce them gives them purpose and direction. Times will change regardless.

>>15928115
I don't hate the moon watch, but it's so fucking dull.

It's also the watch that broke down and was replaced by a Bulova, who also did all the actual timekeeping stuff for the moon missions. You know, the dials that were actually mission critical, not the publicity stunt of "first watch in space" which Omega paid a pretty penny for.

>>15928175
I can respect that. The plebbit posts of "AS AN ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL THE SPEEDMASTER BLAH BLAH BLAH" are gayer than aids, not that I spend much time over there. I can see why people are annoyed. Still a pretty neat watch in my book, even if overpriced and relatively dull. The automatic severe hatred it generates is unwarranted though.

>>15928119
Citizen makes some quartz ones inclusions some grand complications models, seiko makes at least 1 or 2. They are all Japanese Domestic Market only products as far as i know but you can probably find them on ebay or email a place like sakurawatches and get them to order one for you.

You were able to buy them for 3k grey market for years. You'd have to be an absolute retard to pay anywhere near retail for anything Omega makes, the market is flooded with grey market 40% or more off MSRP.

I like how you link him 2 41mm dinner plates when he's looking at a more sensible 37mm watch.

That seals isn't too bad, but why did they fuck it up with 47mm lug to lug?

>>15928331
Yeah good point. I think 37 is fine on a skindiver type case.

>>15928315
>>15928318
I feel like it's not great I'm just grasping at straws now. Thanks for stopping me doing anything stupid. I've bought watches I wasn't totally in love with before and regretted it.

I saw the seals in the other thread. I'm into the skin diver look. I feel they are super versatile and understated. I don't know that the seals brings enough to the table over other 62mas inspired divers ( unless I am missing something.)

I've been really feeling the proxima, it's less than £200 looks like it has a sandwich dial, inoffensive name for a china bring ( no unicorn logo)

Ideally I want to keep it compact. I've got 7.5inch wrists, don't want to go over 40mm unless wears smaller. I like the look of the SPB143J1 but don't want to spend a grand on it at this point.

Suggestions are welcome /wt/ bros. it's the boredom of lockdown now.

>>15928349
>7.5inch wrists
I think you've taken the wristlet shit to heart too much.

The golden rule is 80-90% of your wrist width for lug to lug. I'm a wristlet with 50mm wrist width (6 inch circumference), which means 40-45mm lug to lug, and a watch case of 34-39mm (assuming 3mm lugs). You can probably wear a bigger watch, you've got average wrists.

>>15928217
Nice. I bought my gf the same one but with the inverse lcd. She loves it and I can't believe I got it fro $50. The white looks fresh AF.

Dude...your wrist is big enough to wear any reasonably sized watch up to 44 or 45 mm. Stop taking the shit talking to heart on here. Better yet, disregard any and all of it and buy the watch you want without worrying if it looks too big for anon.

Just ordered pic related, please roast me and also recommend additional straps. I already have the black shell cordovan it comes with and a spare brown calf leather.

Was thinking a perlon for summer but not sure on color and it's hard to find a 2 piece. I don't want to hide the exhibition caseback with a NATO or similar.

Looking at the Prospex line, Seiko became the Island Jew

>>15928657
Their OEM “velour” (suede) straps are very good and not particularly expensive. I wear my Tangente on suede in the warmer months to dress it down a little. Textile does not fit the watch at all IMO.

>>15928624
Meanwhile Seiko continues raising their prices while downgrading to cheaper movements kek

>>15928175
This is so incorrect it's almost funny. The crystal on one Omega Speedmaster on the Apollo 15 mission was damaged so the astronaut used his personal backup Bulova watch. The Speedmaster was standard issue for almost a decade at that point and, among other things, timed the engine burn necessary to save the Apollo 13 astronauts when their electronic equipment was fried.

Also a light colored tan or even natural undyed suede or pig leather.

>>15928657
I like it

whats the absolute cheapest 62mas homage? i dint care if it uses a 10cent quartz movement, just want the same case style and dial

>>15928683
The crystal straight up popped out, it wasn't "damaged". Bulova did all the real time keeping for Apollo, one mission where they needed to time a whole 14 second burn after an exploding oxygen tank took out half the instruments could've been managed by any fucking watch in the world.

But hey, keep on sucking off that speedy.

You realize that the significance of the Speedmaster is that it was qualified for "extra-vehicular activity", right? i.e., it was actually worn on astronauts' wrists. No one has ever said that the Speedmaster was used for other timing purposes (and, by the way, who gives a shit considering you can't exactly wear a lunar module's clock). These are the biggest cope posts I have ever seen. Stay poor

I did some digging, i cant find anything cheaper than

At least on aliexpress

>>15928731
heimdallr's one is at $160
if you purchase all the different components off aliexpress to DIY yourself the whole thing will still cost you ~$110 without the movement. So lets say you get a NH for $40. Its still like $150.

>>15928750
>>You realize that the significance of the Speedmaster is that it was qualified for "extra-vehicular activity", right?
Right, and it failed. The Bulova managed to survive at a higher temperature during EVA 3.

Plenty of watches made it to the moon. Hell, a fucking Rolex made it and sold at auction, although it wasn't on a wrist. Who knows how many watches actually made it, NASA were pretty fucking strict about only having one official "moon watch" despite plenty of astronauts taking personal watches.

Apollo 15 used a Bulova stopwatch over the speedy because the dial was too dark and they had to time something to within 0.3 of a second. But all any retard ever talks about is the speedy. The magical miracle watch that paid its way through government trials and made it to the moon. Who did the government go with for MISSION CRITICAL functions? What movements powered the bombs that could've killed a few astronauts, or timed the rovers? Hmm, really makes you think.

>>15928726
I got mine second hand for the same cost as a Stowa and it has an in-house caliber. I will admit the Antea has SOVL and I prefer the deployant clasp (which will have to be added to my Nomos soon)

Do we like reproduction military watches?

>>15928781
Fuck yes, I almost got this Laco but can't decide between the 39 and 42 for my 175mm wrist. That and going well over a grand for a watch I won't daily wear is a bit pricey.

>>15928851
It's pretty kino. apart from that one heritage line GS with the red that keeps getting posted here it's the first I've seen with spring drive. feel like it needs a nickname, something like japanese for vampire or something tacky-cool like that
>>15928857
really? I think it looks cool in red, wish maybe it had a slightly different font tho

really what makes some cheap chink made automatic movement better than some cheap chink made quartz movement

>>15928908
Nothing, they’re both pieces of shit

total watch noob here, is this any good? it's a gift from my old man, he's had it for years

>>15928908
What do you mean? The finest swiss mechanical chronograph rated to perfection isn't better than the cheapest quartz piece of shit you can find. Why would a cheap auto be better?

Got me an Oysterquartz today.

>>15928915
Nope! But if it came from your dad, that's pretty cool and you should hang onto it. Gifts are neat and your pops sounds alright.

>>15928927
thanks and I definitely will. was just curious

>>15928924
unironically like this better than all modern rolex and every 'muh gerald genta' integrated bracelet watch posted on /wt/ for years
nice watch anon. how much it set you back

>>15928930
Standard quartz beater, probs a Swiss ronda movement. If anything you should feel free to wear it anywhere for anything, you don’t really need to worry about damaging it since it’s a resin case.

>>15928941
thank you for the info anon. appreciate it

>>15928936
Traded a SBGW235 plus $2k, so about $5800. Not like a screaming deal but I also like it more than any modern Rolex. And I have a 114270 explorer so I’ve got sorta-modern Rolex covered anyway. My whole collection was GS before and it was just a bit too much of the same. Ngl I want a SBGW035 now and will probably try to get one at some point.

true, yeah not a screaming deal but even so not a bad one.
oysterquartz have gone up a bit it seems, first noticed them a few years ago when I watched The Big Short and the character Vinnie had one with a white dial. I like blue one here better though.

>>15928924
I'm sorry.

>>15928924

Your so fucking retarded.

Yea the original is nice but they blow it up to 45mm!!!! And cheaped out on every part of the watch, I've owned both and the buttons on the Bulova work only if you push them just right or they miss click. Oh and that's some nice fact checking..... you dumb ass.
