>IWC mentioned
Where the other IWC chads at?

I just spent the most I ever have on a new watch
It's got a fucking compass!!

I’m going to buy a Grand Seiko.

>>17115017
That’s the kind of picture that got me into watches in the first place.

>>17115023
What's dis?

>>17115021
>>17115017
Why is IWC so expensive? I literally can't tell the difference in build quality and finishing between this and a Hamilton let's say, i can tell the differences with Rolex or JLC though

>>17115023
This exact one? I approve, it's one of the best looking ones with this case shape.

>>17115028
The SBGY003.

>>17115033
New night birch dropped today

>>17115026
Isn't it crazy how some literally who from Instagram can take better pictures than the watch brands themselves?

>>17115031
Unfortunately probably not. Retard Seiko decided to make it a limited edition and it's now on chrono24 for over double its original MSRP.

>>17115036
Interesting, haven't seen it before. I prefer the green one though.
>>17115039
Yeah they do that quite a lot...

Thoughts on pocket watch?

Good morning sirs, am I better dressed today? I imagine you guys will say this shirt is too big?

>>17115041
I think you've asked this question a couple of times already. You won't get the answer you're looking for here.

>>17115036
Looks pretty good. Not sure if it's better than the white dial but you probably need to see them next to each other in person to decide.

>>17115042
Lol yes. Tuck it in and embrace your twinkish figure

>>17115045
Doesn't seem right tucking in that shirt into jeans

>>17115053
The lesser of two evils imo

>>17115042
looks like youre wearing a dress

>>17115042
Most brands these days make shirts with straight hems if you're going to wear them untucked.

Someone posted their BB58 on a rubber strap a few threads ago, if you're about could you let me know what rubber strap it was?

>>17115030
Hamilton use ETA movements (from the mother company Swatch Group so they're super cheap). The watches are probably 100% machine made.
IWC makes most of their movements (they also buy some ETAs from Swatch Group for their cheaper models). They claim the watches are "handcrafted" (probably bullshit but whatever) and they use finer materials than Hamilton. Also marketing costs.

IWC is a weird brand. They're trying to be too many different things. Some of their models are cool though.

>>17115061
Vanguard

>>17115066
Thanks. Got the picture of it? Looked nice from what I remember.

>>17115067
Not mine, but I do remember it bcuz I have a bb58

>>17115065
Basically this
Their flagships like the Big Pilot and Portuguesier have in-house movements and are pretty cool. Finishing is nice from what I can see
Hamilton is just ETA dogshit

>>17115042

>Spring Drive

>>17115082
Dunno about that, i think it was some other brand that did it.

>>17115023
I think this is the best looking Grand Seiko I've ever seen. Beautiful case, pretty dial that isn't distracting, no retarded date window or power reserve on the front.

>>17115096
It's relatively thin as well because it's hand wound.

>>17115017
Are there any good knockoffs of a 36mm IWC for the poor wristlets among us? I know Timefactors has one but I don't want to deal with that faggot or his store.

>>17115042
I'm ashamed I complimented your watch before. Tuck in your shirt, you're not 16 anymore.

>>17115065
IWC finances a LOT of celebrity ambassadorships and advertisements at events.

Got my first oysterflex but definitely won't be my last!

>>17115107
Stowa makes 36mm Fliegers. Though not quite the same.

>>17115022
I hope you're the anon with an 8 inch wrist

>>17115033
This looks amazing on a black gator, how thin is it?

I posted in last thread but no one told me if this was a good watch or not :(

>>17115120
Good compared to what? You could do a lot worse for the money.

>>17115100
is hand wound secretly the superior mechanism?

>>17115122
It's not a secret. I always prefer a manual wind watch unless it has an obnoxious complication like a moonphase or some sort of calendar.

>>17115114
Robin?

>>17115120
I had one for a bit, it's a good watch. Simple, legible, kept good time, and always hit the indices. Strap is kind of crappy, so go ahead and find you another one.

>>17115121
Just amongst cheap field beaters. I've gotten to where I don't even wear my seamaster anymore cause it's so big because I'm getting into a weird thin and more retro/utilitarian aesthetic

>>17115127
Marathon is better

>>17115092
nah, there are some vintage seiko weekdaters with underside lume, looked a lot like that one, had the same indices, which have lume pips out the side of the indices, not parallel with the dial
also mondaine has done one or couple watches with underside lume

>>17115017
>Poorfag guide: https://m.imgur.com/a/NFMXDuK
Wait, what? You're golding that IWC and no love for the G10s? It's a MOD-issued watch that fits the below-300$ category just perfectly. Not to mention Laco, Lip, Marathon, Timex etc.

>>17115030
>>17115065
>>17115071
doesn't the mark xviii posted use a sellita 300? which makes it basicly a khaki field with a worse movement for 9 times the price

>>17115022
based! I love the carbon and that one gold pusher. Enjoy it anon.

>>17115128
I'm not buying some syrup nigger watch

I posted this thing I salvaged from the inherited crap box a few threads ago. It's a pretty interesting piece and I really like the look, but it's difficult to really find anything about these watches. Does anyone here know where I should look? The bossing is gold I think, so this should be the 1953 70th anniversary edition. Is it rare or worth anything? Modern Alpina seems like a meme but it seems like old Alpina was respectable enough.

>>17115133
It's been gussied up, and the finishing on them is superior. On paper they seem the same, but you can tell instantly in person they're on a higher level. Enough to justify the premium? Depends on the buyer

>>17115116
Oooh, hand wound. I was looking at a white dial Stowa ages ago, might have to dig into them again. Thanks anon.
>>17115120
I actually bought one of these a week ago. It's pretty sweet, good build aside from the mineral crystal, and the strap isn't great but I haven't replaced it yet. Probably the best solar beater for around 100 bucks.

>>17115023

>>17115139

>>17115145
yeah it's really awesome. I'm getting it serviced without them touching the dial or case and hopefully I can make it last another 70 years

>>17115146
Good on you. Enjoy it

>>17115142
I like the classic marine, it's perfect.

>>17115133
It's the usual case of the movement comes from Sellita and then IWC does extra finishing on it and adjusts it
Mine has been dead on since I got it and maybe does +/-1 or 2 seconds a day. I'm extremely impressed by it's been worth it to me. And plus I don't ever see the movement so I don't really care

the hand wound spring drive has got to be one of the most interesting movements available (anywhere) rn.

agreed this is a super beautiful watch

0 train today because france, so no work
made a pic of my watches

>>17115197
Fucking kek why won't watchmakers repair your Zodiac? Btw you should unironically sell all of those watches

>>17115199
>Fucking kek why won't watchmakers repair your Zodiac?
idk they refused to repair it when grand dad asked, back in time

and my own guy refused to do it too
didn't elaborate further
he's kind of an ass desu

guess it's too fucked

sourcing an entire movement would be around 300€ on ebay when i looked for it 10 years ago, now probably double that

>>17115204
Why don't you email Zodiac about it? They might be able to fix it or at least point you to a watchmaker who will.

>>17115207
yeah actually i've always procrastinated doing that so i'll do it today

>>17115122
There are pros and cons. No rotor to obstruct the view (unless peripheral/micro) and the watch can be thinner and less complex at the expense of autonomy.

>>17115228
I meant classic as a style, not the model name, my bad.

>>17115114
Shave.

>>17115158
why? the case is so boring and the layout is gay with those cutout 12 and 6. The fonts are kinda nice but the proportions make it look like a dinner plate.

>>17115208
Ruined, did they use one if those shitter pocket watch movements in it?

Breitling finally decided to make a non gay watch for once.
>no exhibition caseback
>not made of titanium
So close to perfection

>>17115258
That massive chaper ring blows ass, it would be way better if they dropped in and then make the watch 42mm instead of the 45mm im assuming it is

>>17115258

>>17115303
It actually is, cool.

Is there a definitive resource out there for learning about overpolishing on SS rolex?
The times I've looked and tried to understand it I just can't see the difference, or the examples I've seen are too subtle in difference that my eyes can't see them.

>>17115288

>>17115328
See how the side looks wavy and has that weird distortion in the middle?

>>17115339
This is overpolished
The other tings to look out for, sharp corners are now rounded and smooth,

>>17115341
Se how the light plays so weirdly off of the sides, it almost looks like their is a round circle cut deeper in the middle of the sides of the watch?

>>17115339
I guess...?
I'll have a look at other pics to compare.
Are there any other obvious tells?

>>17115344
Now see on this watch how the whole flat part of each side reflects light evenly without those weird circles, and you only see the reflection change where the sides curve to meet the crown guard? This is how it should look

>>17115349
Okay I'm beginning to understand.
Shit. It means that basically up to now I've only ever seen pics of over polished examples of the watch I'm looking at.
Great.

>>17115339
>>17115341
>>17115344
Why do they do this?
If it's such an undesirable thing why do people that service them do this? Or is it something only a watch forum autist is going to notice or give a shit about?

>>17115355
Its entirely the fault of boomers, boomer watch shop doesn't want to give peoples serviced watches back all scratched up, so they just haphazardly slap it on the buffing wheel, no big deal they think im just doing one pass per side. Do this a few times and it looks like shit. Or some shop buys a rolex, gotta polish it up before they put it in the case. A lot of this can be remedied by having somone that actually knows how to polish watches do it and not some boomer jewler with a buffing wheel. If you send it to rolex they will also repolish but it won't look like that. But really people need to learn to stop polishing watches, it looks good for a week after and then its all scratched up again.

>>17115355

>>17115207
ok thank you for the push i just asked zodiac about it
will have to pay 38€ just to send it there and get a real invoice, but i think it's worth it, would make granpa happy

>>17115197
>>17115199
>>17115204
I vaguely know why.
>>17115207
>>17115385
Note that Zodiac today has nothing to do with Zodiac of yesteryear.
Last I remember it was last owned by Fossil. Last I knew they only bothered with current zodiacs up to the early 2000's, which were all quartz shit anyway. Maybe whoever owns it now gives a shit about their "heritage".
As you know the quartz crisis fucked everyone well up.
Zodiac got double hit because it was still recovering its image from the zodiac killer association, who took his name from this company because he wore a zodiac diver and was an unimaginative fuck.

I remember looking at certain zodiac models and found that some of their movements cannot be serviced because there's a certain component that breaks in them and since Zodiac of old doesn't exist anymore to make that component it's almost never worth it for small watchmakers to bother servicing them because they would have to create this part from scratch.
The popularity of the old seawolf skindiver and its dramatic increase in value might get some of them bothering, but they almost always just cannibalize parts from other movements.
Perhaps 3d printing will eventually come to the rescue, I don't know. All I know is that independent watchmakers capable of making watch parts from scratch and will bother to actually do so are very few and very far between, and for the labor and price they'd rather service some more recognizable current luxury brand and tell you to take a hike because it's neither worth their time nor yours.
Sad.
Such is the fate of in-house movements.

>>17115411
>Such is the fate of in-house movements.
Easily avoided if you buy from reputable brands that have been operating for 100+ years.

>>17115419
True. But Zodiac was once a reputable brand, but it died like so many others did and lingered on in shadow form whilst others were resurrected and had nothing to do with their namesakes.

>>17115351
Look up @il_menzerna on ig. He restores fucked up watches, you could consider what he does art. After he's done they look like they did when they came out the factory, maybe even better. No two vintage rolexes look exactly the same, back then the last polishing and brushing was still done by hand.

>>17115208
that's awful, i can see why they're in the helicopter category on the chart. at least the one I have is small and tasteful

>>17115294
It's intentionally boring, which is interesting.

Bulova occasionally has some really good looking watches

Women are attracted to power.

>>17115496
Where's the woman

>>17115440
Omega.
Their co-axial escapement hasn't been developed by them. They just bought the patent from George Daniels, who tried to sell it to different watchmakers prior to Omega.
Its only advantage is longer servicing intervals. Downside is only Omega can service your watch at whatever cost they want. It doesnt improve accuracy, power reserve or thinness of the movement.
Complete meme movement.

Federico update anons. Small medical issues, but sounds like all is well now.
Hopefully people here weren't too worried.

Russians have a very different mindset in a lot of things

friends were living out there, and asked a russian bro to recommend them a good quality washing machine
it broke down about a week after they bought it, and they asked the dude why he said it was good quality, his answer being "it's easy to fix" -- then he went ahead and repaired it for them in 10 minutes

>>17115805
>watch orient bambino

you pretty much answered your own question, there: very tasteful, understated and perfect for business attire

do you know what size your wrist is?

>>17115810
It's especially evident in cars nowadays. If anything went wrong on the older ones you could take a spanner and fix stuff, today you have to take it to a service so they can hook it up to a computer with a special connector that then spews a bunch of errors out, and there are plastic covers everywhere... You could easily change a lightbulb before, now it takes a skilled mechanic 45 minutes to change one on a freaking Megane, and if you have an Audi you have to change the whole thing. I'm in favour of the old school way, but then again i'm poor so i understand why the new stuff is the way it is.

>>17115822
>but then again i'm poor so i understand why the new stuff is the way it is.

i hear what you're saying, but if i was looking at modern cars that weren't so over-engineered as to be untinkerable, i'd steer clear from german motors and maybe aim at japanese cars like toyota, built for a market where they know their customers are gonna rice them out

Does the blue or black dial ones look good? Or should i stick to lighter colors?

and yes, the case needs a polish.

>>17115892
>7.5 inch wrist

alright, that's gonna mean you want a watch with a diameter between 38-42mm
might be worth wandering into a local jewellers and seeing which watch sits well on your wrist

not the anon you're asking about colours from, but the initial cream dial is very low key and would go with most outfits; as would silver and slate grey
anything more bold than that - including black - is going to be making eye-catching and 'making a statement', but i don't know if you're ready for that

if you are though, then buy wear whatever makes YOU happy

>>17115660

Got this new watch but I'm new to watches and wanted to know if this is the proper size for me. It feels like it's too small but maybe that's just me

Nah, leave it alone m8. Looks fine as is.

>>17115913

no it doesn't

Correct. This is the extent of 99.9999% of people's watch knowledge and all the discussions here is just retarded useless bickering.

>>17115805
Don't get an auto, you'll have to reset the time in case you don't have a suit meeting every 2 days or so. Get quartz. My rec is something like the SUR315P1 or Escapement time quartz on aliexpress

>>17115985

What is the Seiko appeal? They look like shit and feel like shit. Orient and Timex suggestions look better
> using a watch for time
lol no I have my phone/computer for that

>>17115805
Buy a real fucking watch, wearing an Orient outside of high school is embarrassing.

>What is the Seiko appeal? They look like shit and feel like shit.
Pic related looks pretty fucking good to me, but you're entitled to your own taste. And I don't get what being third worlder would have to do with this. As for the feel, seiko quartz are solid watches, idk what you are talking about

>> using a watch for time
>lol no I have my phone/computer for that
Now this is fucking retarded. So you'd wear your auto without setting it beforehand? And have completely wrong time as you are out and about? And if someone, noticing you're wearing a watch, asks you the time, you'll just pull out your phone?

Are two tone watches a cope? You can't afford to buy a full precious metal watch so instead you buy some interracial child made mostly of steel and some precious metal used sparringly on the crown/bezel/bracelet. Never really saw the appeal desu

>>17116072
It's okay when rolex does it, maybe shiteling too, otherwise it sucks

>>17116057
>And if someone, noticing you're wearing a watch, asks you the time
this never happens

>>17115932
Cringe and bluepilled

>>17115037

Yeah. I bet Casio can increase the sales of their cheaper watches (below $100) by 2-3x if they hired decent photographers and editors.

>>17115805

Keep in mind a 38mm Bambino model is coming soon.

It happens to normal people. You probably look creepy or simply don't leave the house enough

>>17115921
Looks a bit tight, awkward positioning, but nice taste

I have 50-100$. like the color green and don't care about clout, just neat/functional design. any anons have a good rec for someone who's only worn shit walmart watches?

>1.75 mm thick

$1m per mm.

>>17116122
Exactly
USD 100,000 per micrometer

>>17115921
I hate to say it, but stainless looks like a plastic flimsy toy on black people. Should have went with gold. Sizing is ok, though.

>>17116119
I feel like it would bend too easily.. the bvlgari looks better imo.

Gotta say Piaget did it first and better. A bit thicker than both of those but looks better, more elegant.

I'd guess an under 2mm thick watch would be really hard to fake right?

that's amazing, same legendary sound as the accutrons? i want to hear one before i die

how much would these things cost? 500+ again?

ah you're one of those

>>17116185
yeah better looking of the 3

>>17116198
The regular F300Hz will sound more like an accutron, but my megasonic is noticeably higher pitched (also has coil whine on top of the 720Hz tone). I got mine for about $500 but that was a steal even when I got it a few years ago. Nowadays I'd be surprised if you could get a megasonic for any less than $1000.

Stowa or Laco, but wouldn't call them a knockoff, they are great in their own right

I was going to buy that exact model but when I saw it in person the edges weren't crisp at all, someone at polished the shit out of it. Sad, really.

what do you do with these

>>17116426
bin em

>>17116375
They're OK. The Stowa is better made but is much more expensive.

>>17116404
A really thin watch

>>17116690
Is 1.98mm considered really thin?

For a mechanical watch yeah. I don’t know why you’re pretending it’s not

Accidentally turned off the winder the other day and haven't bothered to reset it. Also the Copernicus isn't an auto I just ran out of space on the bottom.

Dead thread

Is the orient bambino a meme or not? Should I just get a Seiko instead?

>>17117549
>Is it a meme?
Yes. But I genuinely think it’s the best watch you can get at that price point.
Seiko feels kind of soulless to me, the only range of theirs I really like are the Alpinists.

Jealous?

>>17117872
Is it a Rolex?

I lift after work, do you guys put your dress watch in a watch box in your gym bag?

Thoughts on smart watches?

Be specific, don't just talk shit. How can you tell the watch is fake. Give specifics. Call out things in the image. Post an edited version of the pic with arrows denoting what you're talking about.
I hate when people just go "FAKE" and then never back it up
