Are there any 100% replicas of any black quartz Breitlings?

First for shilling another 38mm microbrand diver.

Haha I’m a fag

Is it the best swiss watch under one thousand?
It looks way better in her video than it does in most photos. Reminds me a lot of the 41mm op.

How’s this for a first mechanical? Only ever had steel casios before.

I like the Speedmaster '57 but it's too thick, and I like the Speedmaster Racing but I don't like the checkerboard effect of the seconds track.

>>15937161
>best """"swiss""""" watch for under a thousand
sure :)
its rather inoffensive as watches go
and for a tissot it looks nice which is the exception
since they are confined at the lower rungs of the swatch group
its that kind of perfect 'office watch'
but unless you want "swiss" (whatever that means at under $1k)
there are equally compelling options from the jap side.
>>15937167
please tell me you got the 38mm and in acrylic
its a charming quirky piece and one of the better memewatches

>>15937167
solid choice, prob one of the best watches you can get for the money. idk what the best source is for one rn but do some research and you will be golden.

>>15937167
Good,if you are lucky they are pretty reliable.

>>15937150
Not a fan of the recent stuff, I basically want an Aerospace or a Blackbird or something like that.

why dont more watches make use of vertical space?
on the side of the watch there can be displays or engravings or lettering
think of the possibilities

>>15937174
100m water resistance, column wheel + vertical clutch, in-house movement, 42mm diameter by 11.9mm thick. They're $12k new but you can find them for well under $10k used or possibly grey market.

All of those requirements are pretty autistic so your mileage may vary but it is extremely difficult to find a decent mechanical chronograph outside of the Speedmaster below $10k.

>>15937224
Looks really good. Thanks anon.

>>15937193
Because I look at the sides of my watch about as much as I look at the back of my own head.

>>15937227
Sure, the Polaris has occasionally been criticized for being a little big at 42mm and feeling like a dinner plate with the internal bezel, but I think the chronograph remedies that somewhat by making the dial a little bit more busy. I think the chronograph looks much better than the diver version and am seriously considering selling my Speedmaster and putting the money towards one.

They also make a world timer which is interesting but pushing the limit at 44mm.

>>15937224

I warned you idiots that the hand is moving in retarded increments literally the first time I've seen the watch and saw that it has 3 subsecond steps marked on the dial... but no one listened.

The previous one had 5, and it moved completely differently to this one.

>>15937256
He's copying and pasting obscure 15 year old forum posts in an attempt to prove his point that the Speedmaster is not in fact a decent watch. Please don't reply to these retards.

>>15937193
cause that's retarded

>>15937260
its literally a common complaint with speedmasters

https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=speedmaster+watch+jerky+site:www.watchuseek.com

>>15937235
This looks really good, but I wouldn't make much use of a world timer so it would be superfluous for my purposes.

I take your point about the Speedmaster being amongst the best chronographs in that price range, and while I do think it is a nice watch, it (at least in the Professional form) is a bit too stripped down/basic for my liking. I enjoy applied indices, high-polished hands, fine finishing, etc. and the Professional is lacking in those areas for me. I for one think that the Seamaster Diver 300M is Omega's best tool watch in terms of the balance of its functionality and aesthetic and it is on my list as well.

I'm not wedded to any particular watch manufacturer and it's nice to have some variety. The JLC seems to fit my vibe quite well.

>>15937260
You're free to check the movement of the second hand by yourself, just look at 3 different videos, one from the watch mentioned in >>15937242 which has 6 subsecond clicks but 5 subsecond markers (which makes it always slightly off so you can't read it properly), then the one way before that which had normal movement, then the new one which has 3 subsecond markers and it looks retarded as shit.

>>15937266

I'm thinking I like the look of the new Tissot PRX a bit more, a little lighter and thinner, but it's quartz but the automatic version is rumored for the summer.

>>15937000
Escapement time. Got my Chinesium flieger out for delivery today. Will report.

>>15936997
Really? Have any more information on this based Chinese boomer? At $99 the specs are absurd.

>>15937321
I want this watch badly but i am mad as fuck that they put such a mediocre quartz movement in it. It's not complete dogshit but it's pretty lame as far as ETA quartz goes. There are cheaper certina watches and other swatch group brands that use ± 20 seconds per year or so quartz movements even if they don't bother to do the chronometer certification on them. Meanwhile the movement in the PRX is closer to ± 15 seconds per month, no excuse other than swatch group fuckery with not letting tissot make a watch that is too nice.

>swatch group fuckery with not letting tissot make a watch that is too nice.
is this how the swatch group actually do things?

Would you an engraved watch

>>15937352
It's pretty crazy. Same factory is probably pushing out watches for domestic microbrands that charge five times as much with equal or lesser specs.

>>15937347
Good thing I didn't fall for it

>>15937353
It's a conspiracy theory, but it really seems to be the case. For the best example look at Longines. They are perfectly capable of making great watches, excellent even for the price - yet somehow virtually every watch they makes has some crucial, insane design flaw. The more cynical watch enthusiasts claim it's so they don't steal sales from the more valuable Swatch brands

>>15936997
>>15937340
it is heat blued, says on their page and you can see from the closeup, the counterbalance has heat marks
>Hand:Bluing pointer(Heat Treatment)
>>15937353
yes but its pretty much how most big brands does things
the one swatch brand that kinda gets away with it to some degree for their tier is hamilton

(Grand) Seiko for style!

Okay i looked closer at the movement for the PRX, it's actually a new movement with some interesting tech. I has a feature like casios tough movement that will automatically re align the hands in case of shock. It's also specially designed to allow the watch to have larger hands without any counterbalance or at least with a much smaller counterbalance. The model in the PRX is a new model that so far is only in the PRX.
I guess it's not the worst thing ever but it would be nice if i could find some accuracy specifications somewhere.

Hi dr. phil, first time caller number one fan. What’s the biggest problem you see in watch young watch owners?
>ya know, that’s a great question caller. I’ve seen many many anons in my day and the worst, by far are poorfag copers. You know caller most are children of single mother jap shitter owner households. they’re born in complete destitution surrounded by bulovas and g shocks. When they grow up they’re sense of quality and long term value is inherently warped. I often hear sad delusions of grandeur. I actually had a young anon tell me once that he thought tissots were real swiss and not some swatch group parts bin shitter. Sometimes I cry from the cope I’ve heard. It’s breaks my rich wealthy heart.

>>15937352
If they release their chrono with a st19 I'd be tempted. I don't really feel the need for a fleiger.

Also the King seiko homage, if they only had a better logo. They have some really nice looking watches

>>15937161
This is the problem with buying just based on specs, you risk buying something so boring you'd slip into a coma. I'm sure it's finished fantastically. But it's so boring I can't form any opinion on it other than that. No one can genuinely love that watch.

>>15937461
Most g-shocks
Just about any vostock shitter
Most vintage swiss stuff and any vintage king or grand seiko
Vintage divers
Almost any watch from PP or JLC

some obscure slavshitter or some other shitter from 3rd world country.

>>15937385
This watch is beautiful but it's too big to look good. I want a "womens" version at 36-37mm.

>>15937498
The watch measures 40 by 40 so im guessing the actual bezel is closer to 36 or 37. Im waiting untill i can see some videos and people post more through measurements.

>>15937167

Is solid gold too flashy and tacky? I want to get a solid gold watch

yep
watches should be a very personal choice
trying to buy "crowd pleasing watches" will only give you a boring snorefest for a watch
too many collectors are afraid to buy the watch they really want, instead they just follow some articles and get the same few ultra-safe 20 watches as everyone else
i almost wish we have Invicta fans here on /wt/, and i dont mean their homages, i mean true invictas
we have almost every kind of collector here except invicta
in a way theres a boldness that i like

>I'd want something small, and I'm not an idiot walking around like a peacock. Are there even many options for solid golf with a bracelet, not a leather strap?

Cartier, rolex, lots of vintage stuff

>>15937595
I'm not sure why but I think a lot of people are looking at gold, especially yellow gold, watches in recent years. They seem to be becoming more popular. Personally I think it looks great if you can cope with the fact it's so visible.

A clasic gold ankle watch, i haven't seen those discussed recently.

>>15937614
They're just awful though. We don't have anyone here who collects any of the fashion watches either, like the most you'll see is the odd DW or very occasionally some poor sap who wants to post the watch his mom got him from the mall.

why dont they put the sub in yachtmaster case?

>>15937728
The yachetmaster is basically the same as the sub except for cosmetic differences and the bidirectional bezel. It's only advertised as 100m water resistance but there is no reason to believe it wouldn't hold up just as well as the sub under water and it's likely rolex uses the different water ratings mainly for product differentiation purposes.
I saw someone say the yachetmaster was supposed to replace the sub but it never happened because of the subs massive popularity.

Your wrist changes size subtly throughout the day from factors like heat, use, blood flow/pressure, etc. The difference you're noticing is probably literally 1 or 2 mm in circumference. Don't worry about it or re-size your watch so that it's loose enough not to notice this difference

most 'swiss made' is from china

>>15938279
I mean that is patently false. They indicate the reserve of power.

The hand itself is also rather pointy.

>>15938295
if you wear the watch frequently, it will remain wound. if you don't, then you are fine with letting it stop running for extended periods of time. so what's the point?

>>15938252
the case size kinda gets a pass because of the stronger visual impact of the design
>>15938271

>>15938278
you are paying for the design. Its like $3000 nordic furniture
what other watch even looks like this?
its very graceful and yet so bold
>>15938279
it is not
without the power reserve indicator the dial would be too empty
it is a conscious design element

the watch perfectly expresses BAUHAUSism

the nomos lamda is the credor echi II of bauhaus watches

>>15938308

God damn, these moonphase chronos seem too good to be true. Anybody have experience with one?

>>15937174
Zenith El Primero

I would never take a chronograph in the water.

>>15938342
It's just a seagull chrono movement with more gears on it. I don't have one but i haven't heard any complaints. Sugess makes a bunch too using the same movement.

>>15938314
Please waste your money on this fugly nomos

>>15938348
He is posting paragraphs about a watch he can't afford and wouldn't buy if he could, don't waste your time arguing with delusional people.

>>15938342
no thats their usual prices on AE, yes its that amazing.
Some anon here bought a sugess moonphase chrono recently. Which has the same movement but different design. If hes around maybe he can fill you in

>>15938351
>nooo please dont discuss watches in a watch thread!! please only talk about the usual overcompensating fat tool watches!
you are a tastelet and you got filtered by a HOMOS

>>15938278
Please show me where I can buy a $200 watch that looks like this. I know it’s hip to hate on Nomos in this thread because they are popular and make good watches, but this is pathetic.

>>15938376
Reread carefully, obviously you won't get that movement finishing on a cheap watch. But the case does not have any finishing on it that you can't see on something much cheaper.

>>15937134
if i buy a watch grey market, can i still send it to the manufacturer for servicing? from what i can tell so far, buying grey market only affects warranty, right?

>>15938372
I like lots of nomos designs, I'm one of their bigger proponents ITT, this watch
>>15938241
Is a dog. Easily one of their worst designs, and the comically large size doesn't help it any.
Too much text on the dial
As you have pointed out the dial has miles of empty space and they are just throwing whatever they can at it to fill space.
The hands suck, the markers are vague and airy, even with all that real estate to work with
They don't do anything at all with color which is one of their strong suits in their other designs.
Every proportion is bad i don't care how nice their movement looks if the dial is so shit

>>15938381
>if i buy a watch grey market, can i still send it to the manufacturer for servicing?
Yes
>from what i can tell so far, buying grey market only affects warranty, right?
Yes

>>15938380
What type of finishing do you expect exactly on the case of a $20k white gold watch, and how do you know the Lambda is poorly finished?

For context, since I’m virtually certain you have no idea what you’re talking about, $20k for a partially hand finished movement and a precious metal case is entry level.

>>15938342
>>15938370
what a mere $200 can get you in china, this is the st1908, chrono + moonphase
nobody would have given a shit if it was undecorated but here you have the full bells and whistles (but not real heat blued obviously)
and for under $1000 you can get a tourbillon

>>15938399
>What type of finishing do you expect exactly on the case of a $20k white gold watch
Something more than flat stick lugs, flat bezel and slightly rounded case sides. Hell the case is barely more impressive than the tangente.

Which watch does Sneed wear?

>>15938399
>What type of finishing do you expect exactly on the case of a $20k white gold watch
Literally any finishing at all beyond buffing and polishing

>>15938763
Yema

>>15938780
Ah yes, the 8.9mm thick precious metal dress watch would look much better if they brushed the case and lugs. Maybe add a classy “80 HR POWER RESERVE” engraved on the side. Lovely.

>>15938819
You're taking the piss here but I can't genuinely think of something they could do to their 20k watch case that would make it stand out in a good way.
What exactly do you >>15938780 have in mind here? Biggest cross shopping HH watch to a Nomos Lambda would probably be a Calatrava and I don't recall much finishing besides a really good polish on those.

can someone recommend me a watch that most resembles Linjer Classic Watch but has higher build quality?

I'm a slut for that minimalist look.

>>15938867
Yeah gimme 5 minutes

waiting for my new daily wear to arrive, what are you waiting on bros?

FUCK WATCHTRANNIES

>>15938845
>You're taking the piss here but I can't genuinely think of something they could do to their 20k watch case that would make it stand out in a good way.
It’s not a problem. The case isn’t the focus and even if it was, when it comes to precious metals, they’re very very often simply polished and left alone. I’m no big fan of the Lambda, but the focus is obviously meant to be on the dial with the extravagant power reserve and the movement decoration.

If they wanted to spice up the case, they could have very simply and minutely curved the lugs, but the long, straight lugs are a pretty intrinsic part of their design language.

The watch is too big anyway, it should have been 36mm. This trend of enlarging the watch in order to brag about a higher power reserve is totally asinine.

>>15938876
I'm excited to see some pic of that anon.
I have a few chink shitters i am thinking about buying but im waiting to make sure we are going to get that extra 2k the dems promised.

was looking for tungsten watches and found a beautiful quartz movement, which I have been looking for too. Its electrosonic, not sure what that is but it sounds cool. Rado made some damn interesting watches.

>>15938974
Not quartz, it's a tuning fork. Those movements were all designed by Max Hetzel for bulova, and then licensed out to other watchmakers. Just look up the accutron spaceview for more info.

>>15938974
Fuck yeah those movements are awesome
It's licensed from bulova i think
Yeah Rado does and did lots of cool things like tungsten that you don't see from other manufacturers.

>>15937134

I want a salmon colored dial bros. SO bad.

>>15938998
Get one from harbring2

>>15937134
does the chrono version have the same features? i.e. perpetual calendar/solar etc

I finally got promoted to manager and settled on getting the Black Bay 58 over the AnOrdain M1.

If I get it on the NATO (i.e. this exact model) am I genuinely going to miss out on anything? The steel bracelet is the one part of the watch people criticise the most what with the faux rivets and not worth £140 extra.

I'm unlikely to wear it to work, much less when I have to deal with the public or clients so formality isn't really a consideration for me.

>>15939064
What sort of income boost did the new job title give you?

>>15939056
Yes

>>15939102
>What sort of income boost did the new job title give you?

About $7.5k pa

>>1593906
Beautiful watch, the bb58 is one of the best on the market today.
The general advice is you should buy the bracelet because if you decide you want it later it will cost $500 or more separately. If you are absolutely positive that you will never want it then don't worry about it. As far as i know the critiques of the bracelet are more about looks than comfort or functionality.

Is marketing an ethical profession?

>>15939326
It was when I first did it. Lots of stuff around helping public health campaigns understand human behavior so they could convince people to stop smoking or exercise or eat right.

>>15939326
Marketing is a tool. The ethical and moral value judgement stems from from how the people use marketing.

>>15939333
PSAs sound like a good application, yeah. I imagine it's pretty limited in opportunity though.
Maybe political campaigns also? But you have to find candidates that you really, really believe in.

>>15939343
It's also true in all circumstances that marketing done well is more moral than marketing done badly.

>>15939357
Elaborate. Because that doesn't sound intuitive.

>>15939490

>>15939618
Gs is my pick any day of the week

Spring drive is basically a kinetic quartz movement

beauty

>>15939653
technically sure, but those don't have a smooth sweeping seconds hand

how much does this watch cost?

>>15939473
get an orient or microbrand

>>15939661
>beauty
is nowhere to be found in that watch

>>15939473
the new seiko5s have updated movement (4r36) thats why their prices are higher
the old seiko5s have stopped production, so prices have increased. if you can get them near $100 they are still an okay buy, but i would recommend an orient tristar/bambino/anything from them in that range, or add another $100 and get the orient kamasu, which has excellent stats for $180.

otherwise alternative choices are the AE brands like san martin/heimdallr/steeldive/tissell, or microbrands like vario/boldr/hked. Or get a vostok.

or get this, its the newest super value meme
300wr, nh35, sapphire, brushed case, screwdown crown, ,heat blued hands, even a metal movement holder inside for a mere $99
>>15937340

>>15937340
So what's the report?

>>15939687
not worth as much as a forester, way less features

>>15939618
how is this even a contest lmao
that GS will mog everything until HH tier

Dont think i ever posted this with the new strap. I endelig up just going with a black one, wich fits pretty nice I think. Still a big bummer what happend with the original.

>>15939803
Still one of my favorties.

>>15939529
i dont think its real, but its sometimes hard to tell with older watches. Like other anon said you'll need to open the caseback and look at the movement. A caseback tool is $2 or take it to a local jeweler.

>>15939803
>>15939806
its inevitable (the crumbling) , the other one i saw had it on a pink strap instead.

do you have the broken pieces still?

>You will never buy a brand new SARB033 for 300$

>>15939818
I have taken the broken pieces off of the strap, so now I'm left with the outer plastic layer with the ghosts on it. I'm planning to buy a transparent strap and glue it underneath the plastic layer. Transparent swatch straps are not easy to come by though and most of them are as old as the geistenstund and will probably also crumble. A pink strap to match the clouds also sounds really cool!

>>15939455
yes, they sell surplus stock from desperate ADs, they are legit watches. but keep in mind like all grey vendors you will not have the original manufacturers warranty (you will get jomashop warranty instead)
>>15939459
2 different things, kamasu os a better value purchase. Casioak is more for style, its 3x the cost of a dw5600 at 50% the practical functionality
the camo and grey casioak is out of production. If you ever want the grey one you should buy it now
i own a yellow casioak,its a extremely good looking gshock but the digital screen is very small and i had trouble using it at the pool. The recessed buttons dont help. Its not super wristlet friendly either. Smaller casioaks(without babyG wording) have already been leaked.

>>15939822

i kinda want to cop the green kamasu
but i want to put it on a nato
i guess the black kamasu would be better for that?

>>15939849
probably
but the green one looks nicer
also longisland now sells custom bezels for the kamasu (that accepts all existing skx007 size inserts) so you can mod it with all sorts of bezel colours too

>>15937385
Neat.
Not a bad cheapfag RO homage.

In fact, the overall design looks way better than a lot of high-end RO homages.

>>15939870
i guess the other thing keeping me off is that it seems like it only looks really good in direct sunlight and even outside of lockdown im inside a lot
almost seems like too outdoorsy of a watch for someone like me
wish i could try one in person

>>15938023
The "problem" is that Vacheron doesn't make an oversized version like the PP Aquanaut or the RO Offshore; or any diamond-encrusted bling versions.

>>15939895
well
this is the green kamasu indoors (ignore the scuffs)
so its almost like a black in dimmer light
thats a bonus right? it'll be like having both, but in light it'll have more play and show you the green hue.

>>15939829
Not a fan of the cream color and that every single watch enthusiast has that watch as well.

>>15939910
this is the only smartwatch i might consider (xiaomi amazfit neo)
~30 days of battery life, physical buttons, $50
looks like a funky casio

>>15939942
and its 40mm x11mm thick, or 80% the size of a dw5600

>>15939942
Is that actually an LCD, or is it just a modern battery sucking piece of shit that looks like one? I've got an old amazfit bip for running that's alright, but you can't even have a seconds display without the battery draining in a day.

Personally, I don't see the point in these watches. You could just get a casio with a 10 year battery life for 20 bucks, the battery in that will be completely dead after that. Unless you really need tracking and you're not willing to put your phone in your backpack or something, they're a gimmick.

>>15939942
Yeah, this looks cool. Might consider it as an alternative to my current Casio when gyms open again

>>15939916
Just get an Islander

>>15939956
its a true old tech LCD (STN), not the battery sucking OLED or whatever smartwatches have now
its also not a touchscreen
thats why the cost can be so low and battery life much higher

>>15939885
It’s an original Design from the 80s, idiot

>>15939618
Grand Seiko

>>15939964
I wish they went with a full sized dot matrix, like the old USB datalinks. What am I saying, I bet this thing has little to no programmability anyway.

You could play tetris on these old datalinks, and they still had a 2 year battery life. Well, 2 months if you spent enough time in high power modes like playing tetris.

It's a shame we can't get a modern version of that. Instead all we get is always online notification sending garbage.

>>15938376
I've probably never once said anything about Nomos in /wt/, but I just don't like any of the Nomos designs, their lugs are ridiculously long (and I have large wrists), and their case finishing is appalling.
