I like both! But the blue is a bit more distinctive considering a lot of divers have black dials.

divers are by far the worst category of watch, closely followed by chronographs. people are completely tasteless.

>>15978998
Why do you think those are the worst categories of watches?

talk me out it getting new old stock pre maxi case rolex no date sub

>>15979002
they're watches specifically built to specs and purposes that they will never actually come close to needing. their popularity has caused the segments to be completely oversaturated with generic knockoffs and trash kickstarter brands. divers particularly are the equivalent of SUVs in the car industry - built for the masses to make enough profit so that the manufacturer can develop an actually interesting product instead.

Your car doesn't need to go over 70mph, but it can.

>>15978850
One of the ugliest watches ever made.

>>15979036
That's not really analogous though. People in cars often end up going over 70mph, even if they don't need to. I don't think people with diver watches generally subject their watches to the water pressure of deep seas, or need a unidirectional bezel so they don't suffocate.

>>15979037
Agreed

>>15978728
>Swiss Ronda Quartz

This is a good movement though.

>>15979047
People with watches often end up requiring more than 30m water resistance, or the ability to use a timing bezel. You are literally bitching about additional capability.

>>15979065
Maybe that's your experience, in mine most people with diver watches do not. I guess we can't really know for sure, since for both of us our evidence is anecdotal. I see no reason not to bitch about additional capability if it's unused, has a potentially negative impact on aesthetics, and costs money to implement.

>>15979063
its also $2.

Do hollow endlinks actually matter when considering the overall durability of a bracelet?

From my understanding, most of the tension on the bracelet is on the springbars, and the center links when you wear the watch.

>>15979070
30m water resistance means you can wash your hands with your watch on but it may not be able to stand up to a heavy rainstorm. You are crying that some people want to just not have to think about water. The timing bezel is also the most practical and intuitive complication.
Your complaint is so asinine. Many people have shit they don't need, maybe they want peace of mind. Maybe they just want more than the bare minimum.

>>15979084
>t. anon who proudly showers with his Pelagos

>>15979154

>their popularity has caused the segments to be completely oversaturated with generic knockoffs and trash kickstarter brands. divers particularly are the equivalent of SUVs in the car industry - built for the masses to make enough profit so that the manufacturer can develop an actually interesting product instead.

harsh truths
especially in microbrands all they need to do to earn money is to release a diver, its easy and braindead

>>15979084
>it may not be able to stand up to a heavy rainstorm.
Again, I haven't had issues with this with any watches I've owned with a 30m water resistance, nor have I seen anyone complain about this issue irl or online, but again, unless either of us have some empirical data on the performance of 30m water resistant rated watches in rain, it's essentially a moot point. As for the timing bezel, maybe on here, where people generally care more about watches than the average person, actually using it is common, but in my experience most people who pay more than $100 or so for a watch couldn't give a shit, they just want a watch from a brand they've heard of that they think looks expensive. Maybe we just interact with different circles of people though.

>>15979173
one of the more interesting watches zelos did long ago before they just said fuck it and make divers 90% of the time

its basically 2 sapphire discs bolted together and floating metal cutouts inside

>>15979195
Again, your argument is basically "how dare people want more than the bare minimum?" You are seething that people want higher specs or a particular aesthetic. Get a life

>>15979208
Not really lol. If you're gonna use more than the bare minimum, i.e. you subject your watch to significant water pressure, or make use of a timing bezel enough for it to be significantly helpful, then go for it. If you're not then why pay more for extra features, unless it's for the aesthetic? I don't have any problem with wanting a diver watch aesthetic; >>15979014 isn't me, I just wanted to point out that >>15979036's argument doesn't necessarily apply here.

>>15979166
I don't mind a low-contrast watch. For the longest time I wore nothing but a Seiko from the 70s without any indices (It was a stupid watch, but belonged to a late relative, so it was for sentimental reasons), so I got pretty good at quickly reading the time without much other info. Is there much glint to the crystal that you know of? To be honest an all-black low-contrast watch without lume sort of intrigues me, as I do a lot of late-night hunting when legal, and being low-viz or no-viz is very helpful. Not that the lume on a watch would give away your position to a deer, but still, I wonder if there's any legitimate tactical application.

>>15979244
There is no AR coating on the watch but it does not have much glare. The lume on the hands is very weak. I would not trust it to go all night. The problem is that due to the fact that the indices are the same color as the dial you need like an extra second to tell the time, and the screen is way too small so you can't use any features. It's also a small negative display, further hindering legibility.
The all black has no contrast so it's actually the least readable one. It looks cool but it is not the best for telling time

Bombas are kino as fuck.

>>15979154
>>15979244
I'm pretty sure the lack of nice lume was to keep costs down and probably because those boomer Japs consider pressing buttons the true G-Shock experience.
Anyway, it looks and wears significantly better than it is functional. Depending how you outfit it, it can pull off a lot of scenarios so you can put it in rotation purely for variety.

I have the retro diver, overall it's fantastic, the quality and finishing is extremely high for the price. The bracelet is a pain to size but you only have to do it once, you will probably need a $12 aliexpress springbar pliers tool to take the metal bracelet off, the endlinks fit incredibility tight to the case.
My complaints, the rehaut is painted black for some reason, it never bothers me in person. The text on the bezel is more orangish than gold, i might fill it with white paint at somepoint. The rotating bezel was a little tight initially but it has loosened up a little a feels great.
Overall im super happy with it for the money. Grab a $10 aliexpress fluorine rubber tropic strap to go with it and its a super nice watch. Fits well even on my six inch wrist.

I'm just swapping a manual club for an auto club and I have a manual nomos in the orion. I think the blue dial would be a nice addition to the collection.

>>15979691
The matte black dial and smaller case size is significantly better and more in line with the overall nomos aesthetic. You would be switching out one of the most Nomos looking watches for something slightly more generic. If you really want something different swap it out for the Ahoi Neomatik Atlantic on the factory bracelet, the dial color is 100% better.

See if you can find a local watchmaker who'd service them in the $150ish range. The 90xx movements are roughly equivalent to ETA 2824 movements from what I read. Only unlike the 2824 it doesn't grind some wheels down if you handwind it.

Correct opinion

>>15979725
>>15979737

The granite dial is a bit dull and I'm starting to get feild watch vibes off it, mixed messages. The 38mm case is most likely better than the 39mm. I think the midnight blue dial and rose gold hands will have a richness / lusta I'm looking for that my club is lacking. The only ahoi I like is the doctors one with red 12 and the but rarely see them used and the braclet is nice but has now micro adjustable clasp.

>>15980132
It's not that simple. She was apparently given sponsorship by the AD so she could get a visa more easily, specifically so she could sell watches to Chinese clients over the fucking phone and shit with the supervision of the managers. It was a scheme where she was just the point man and so many rules were violated it's not even funny.

>X amount of floor space must be dedicated to Rolex
>All sales must be done in the store, face to face
>The gay waitlisting and precious metal Cellini stuff which is not a meme
>The AD must peel off all the stickers at the time of sale in front of the customer with a special pair of padded tweezers
>The sales associate must be wearing either an official Rolex tie or neckerchief at the time of the sale

Rolex is a scumbag company so they probably know this stuff goes on and they don't actually care unless the AD gets caught and makes them look bad. By the time the AD is hocking shit grey market (and to be honest almost all of them probably do it) Rolex has already made their cut

>>15980290
good idea

I want one, bros.

>>15980356
I'm holding out until they change the design of the lugs or end links. It just looks incredibly bulky in that area.

>>15980356
good watch for fat people with big wrists, e.g. tony soprano

>>15980364

Yeah that is my biggest complaint with it too. I think they did that on purpose to further set it apart from the crowd.

This. It's like they wanted to do the blue-dial, steel, sports watch with an integrated bracelet, but then chickened out at the last step.

Could always be worse, though. Could be a Piaget Polo S.

You do own an iced out rollie right anons?

Because when you have the ROLEX logo in front of your store and have the jeweler on Rolex.com's website map, customers are guaranteed to come in.

I really don’t get it. If your Rolex is precious metal, which is basically the only way it’ll be really expensive now unless it’s a Daytona, why would you cover it in diamonds to hide that fact? Why wouldn’t you just wear a diamond bracelet or something if the goal is to show how much money you have? Why do they have to be glued onto a Rolex?

>>15979157
woah I did NOT understand that the crystal was shaped like that.

I'm thinking of picking up this seiko mechaquartz on the cheap since I'm way too poor for a speedy and don't have a chronograph. Anybody had one of these or know any other good sub-$200 mechaquartz chronos?

Yup, boxed crystal & no bezel.

Starting a collection of 6 watches. GWG-1000-1A3JF Mudmaster will be my centerpiece and I'm thinking of getting the GXW-56BB-1JF for a square Casio. Any suggestions for the 6th?

This one? Somehow the regular steel ones just look more expensive to me.

Chink Flieger finally in country. USPS estimates the 27th and I ordered on Feb 1st so not too bad.

I recently won a lot of money gambling (mostly esports) and want to get something cool.Willing to spend up to 5k maybe more. Pic related is my daily wearer. I'm thinking something with a white face, 37 or 38mm. Doesn't have to be white but it'd be nice. I was thinking one of the nomos but idk .

>>15981407
My biggest gambling wins have unironically been from a slightly modified heads or tails game

>>15981407
Get some kind of habring.

>>15980886
I have this one and a lot of the hands don't line up perfectly with the markers but it's a decent cheap watch imo. I constantly used the stopwatch function. Stopped wearing it because it was too big for me and I wanted a simple mechanical.

>>15981407
Get something that people actually know i.e. Rolex.

>>15981424
yeah that's what I was thinking but 38mm is perfect for me. Should I try the 36 or get a used 38mm explorer?

>>15981411

>>15978864

Is the seiko spb the best looking classical designed tool diver? I genuinely think it is on par with the submariner in terms of looks.

I'm not a seiko fanboy however and the idea of dropping £1000 and risk seiko misalignment and shitty qc puts me off.

I'm a sucker for an steel bezel as well. I know its "inferior" to sapphire but on a brushed tool diver a matte metal bezel is where it's at.

Please convince me I'm wrong /wt/. I have tried to convince myself i like the san martin for 1/5 of the price but i keep coming back to soiko.

>>15980076
People who want a daytona deserve it. It is a horrendous looking watch.

I never understood the moonwatch thing. It’s too small. The dial is convoluted. The hands too thin and you can’t press any buttons with gloves.

NASA: lets keep getting sponsored by a major watch company, we get free expensive watches.

Omega: this is the best marketing we could ever hope for and costs us next to nothing.

>>15981194
Ha!

>>15981626
Do they have any normal watches though, I don't have a suit.

>>15981619
You do realise that watches are fairly pointless in space right? The only thing an astronaut would ever need in space would be a stopwatch to time things, and that would only be an emergency back up if there was an instruments failure, which is exactly what happened during Apollo 13.

>>15981633
Many of the Master Control line, new and old iterations, can be worn without a suit.

>>15978998
I agree. Chrono is mostly bloat, and divers are simply ugly as fuck.

>>15978998
How would you do a 3 or 4 watch collection without a diver or chrono?

How do you define a "classical design" tool diver?
If you mean classically styled, I'm sure there are some microbrand divers in the same or lower price-range that would at least be worth considering. Otherwise just buy the Seiko in person where you can verify alignment before purchase.

The Seiko Tuna design was launched in 1975 which technically also makes it a classic at this point and it's probably the best analogue tool diver on the market, period, but this probably wasn't what you had in mind.

>>15981838
What makes the tuna the best? Just easy to read and solid?

>>15981445
>t. has probably never owned a house
I've made money on every single property I've bought, most in relatively short order. Investment commercial properties aside, housing is one of the most surefire methods to make good ROI. The market can be relatively volatile, just like any other market, but if you have an ounce of intelligence it's easy to work with. I bought my current house early 2019 for $400,000. It would sell right now at $475,000 and potentially more. Please tell me more about how renting is the better alternative. That's aside from the obvious benefits of owning your own place.
>muh repairs
Unless you buy an absolute shit house, repair costs are typically minimal, which you would know if you ever owned one.

thoughts on the new transparent gshock?

>>15979014
I dive with my watches so I do require them to perform, although simply as a backup timer and not my primary. Same for swimming or any water sports, a diver is ideal. I think you'd have more of a point if dive watches were simply the style without the appropriate specs, but they typically go hand in hand so I see no issue.

>>15979114
Agreed. Lack of consistency means illegiblity in my eyes, at which point not having any numerals would be clearer. Certain things I can understand as a matter of varying tastes, but Cali dials seem universally ugly and less functional.
