Anyone know what model this is? new or vintage? maybe worth?

I am not poor, I am just geekcore

what are your wearing right now

>inb4 fix the date

>>17139659
There's a reason you can just walk into an AD and buy one. It's sad because Omega has probably the best mass produced movements right now but their designs are so uninspired. They just make the Seamaster bigger and uglier every few years and bank on redditors who heckin love science to keep buying Speedys.

>>17139681
redditors hate omega

>>17139682
t. stood in line for a swatch

>>17139686

Which is funny because they're fucking trash

What are some good fluted bezel watches?

Am I gonna regret getting this? I wanted a G-Shock with Bluetooth but they're all either hideous or too expensive. How well does the solar charging work? Is atomic sync a meme?

Also before some idiot says something, this is NOT a DW-5600. It's a G5600e. It's basically like the GWM-5610 but with a less aggressive appearance.

>>17139702
finally a good looking Tudor

>>17139720
that one is not atomic

>>17139720
>Is atomic sync a meme?
It's 99% meme. The atomic will be 100% on-time, but a regular G-Shock is going to be pretty accurate anyway for the non-autistic community.

I have a non-Atomic Mudman that I adjust twice per year for Daylight Saving and, compared to my MB6 watch, it's never more than a few seconds off. At the rate it loses time, it would be years before it's even a minute slow.

>>17139727
wait then what's the "search" button for then?

>>17139677
Put it on the bracelet for the first time since buying it last week, currently running 3 seconds slow after just over 7 days.

>>17139681
Uninspired compared to who exactly? Rolex who keeps upsizing or downsizing watches by .5mm? Grand Seiko who releases the same 3 watches ad infinitum? JLC who has been coasting on the Master Control, Polaris, and Reverso forever? Cartier who has produced variations on the same watches for a hundred years? All the brands in that mid to high end luxury range are extremely conservative with their designs. If you want truly inspired designs you better be ready to pony up for a Greubel Forsey or equivalent.

>>17139653
Afternoon lad looking for some recommendations.
Looking to buy a new watch around the £5-£6k range. pic related are my top 2 choices so far, does anyone have any recommendations?

>>17139744
nice

>>17139732
Both my casios are off by significant amounts every month. I reset my gshock a couple weeks ago and it's currently 18 seconds fast

>>17139748
he said "Uninspired" because he didn't just want to say "I just don't like it". It's better to use words that imply some sort of expertise behind one's opinion.

aint no Seamaster but it’s a nice and rugged piece.

>>17139750
Don't get the air king, its a joke watch to humiliate poor people

>>17139750
What are you looking for? A status symbol? Why do you want to spend 5-6k on a watch? You can probably find something that fits all of your wants and needs for a fraction of that unless you specifically want the status. For instance, I think seiko presage watches are better looking than most mid-high end luxury watches

>>17139756
Luck of the draw, I guess.
Their factory spec states that they will be +/- 15 seconds/month.

>Don't get the air king, its a joke watch to humiliate poor people

>>17139720
Solar charging works great if you're even remotely active, with power save on it seems pretty much impossible to kill the charge.
As >>17139727 said though, that model isn't atomic synced, models that are multi band 6 are the ones that sync. If you are within signal it's a nice feature to have, and I prefer keeping my watch and my phone entirely disconnected.

Anon thinks Gosling is a poorfag

>>17139756

Is this mental illness?

>>17139780
Can confirm, I wore my DW-5600 for 3 months without changing the time and it was off by only about 3 seconds.

>>17139760
Not neccesarily a status simple, nothing huge & flashy. Something minimal, swiss & most importantly it has to look classic.
pic rel what I'm wearing daily these days

>>17139780
Quartz watches in general shouldn't lose much time.

>>17139790
Why not just stick with that? I looks fine. No need to spend money for its own sake.

>>17139750
I hate the air king numerals so much, why the fuck would you ever get this over an OP

>>17139780
Then why is the spec ±15 seconds per month?

>>17139797
>why the fuck would you ever get this over an OP
Because the AD called me and told me this is what I was going to buy in order to put me on the waiting list for a Submariner.

>>17139788
Take your meds.

I bought a Swatch what I'm in for?

>>17139795
True, but I would like to.
I like my carerra a lot but I'd like something to alternate with it.

>>17139798
He doesn't understand the difference between actual accuracy and tolerance.

>>17139799
Understandable, that's a bargain

>>17139788
The mentall illness is you believing you are talking to a person that means what they say and isint just saying whatever to be obnoxious

>>17139804
For me, it's the cocktail time series. This and the Manhattan I really like. This green is much darker than it looks in the picture. SRPE45 also a gud

>>17139804
Understandable. The Air King looks silly with those numerals and the IWC's "Top Gun" branding is pretty cringe.

I'd look into the Cartier Santos. It doesn't get more classic than that and is pretty understated. Also, it doesn't look so similar to your current watch that you'd render your Tag redundant.

I haven't worn my Seiko presage in over 6 months

>>17139815
forgot pic

>>17139805
Okay, explain why the tolerance is ±15 seconds per month

>>17139822
I have the brown one of this.

>>17139813

Any recommendations for solid gold watches?
Can't decide between a gold Sneedmaster or Daydate as next buy

>>17139826
classy, anon. do those watches have any lume? Always been curious

>>17139830
I mean a daydate is a much better flex

>>17139802
A plastic watch that’ll work for 3 years, if you’re lucky, that you can’t be repaired.

>>17139824
That's the absolute worst case scenario. 15 seconds per month is the maximum they'll tolerate before agreeing that it's defective. G-Shocks aren't extremely accurate but quartz makes it so that you'll only have to reset the time a few times a year.

>>17139815
>>17139818
>>17139822
thank you anons I shall look into these :)

>>17139824
Cost.
They could make the tolerance +/- 5 or even +/- 1 second per month, but that would require additional precision in manufacturing and additional time spent on QC, plus risking more product being rejected in QC.

15 seconds is a perfectly reasonable tolerance for the vast majority of customers and is easy for them to achieve with their current manufacturing setup.

>>17139833
>A plastic watch that’ll work for 3 years,
I have Swatches that are 30 years old that still work.

>>17139829
>seethe more

>>17139836
>>17139834
So this is proof that my g-shock is fake? That it's barely within tolerance?
Seems pretty stupid scream that i bought fake chinkshit while acknowledging that casio clearly ships watches with that kind of monthy deviation

>>17139835
>https://www.theseikoguy.com/presage-cocktail-time/#presage
good guide to all the different ones in and out of production.

>>17139846
Could be fake, could be defective. Did it come in a g-shock themed packaging or just a white box? That's usually one of the easiest ways to tell. If you're still not sure, try contacting Casio. Real G-Shocks do have warranties.

>>17139830
>Can't decide between a gold Sneedmaster or Daydate as next buy

Of those two, the Day-Date. But if I'm buying a full gold watch, I'd get something insane like picrel.

>>17139830
Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Complet 8 Jours

>>17139852
Its a real watch you stupid nigger, you faggots do this every time that i mention that quartz casios have mediocre accuracy. As if the average casio is closer to 5 seconds per year then it is to 5 seconds per month.

>>17139736
No idea but the atomic ones say multi band 6 on them

You know what's the problem with Omega?
The fact you can tell their marketing team have taken over the company.
>limited editions
>brand ambassadors
>collaborations
>Moonswatch
>James Bond
>20 new models every 6 months
>stupid marketing stunts
I know all brands spend a shit ton of money on marketing but when I look at Patek, Rolex, JLC, Nomos, Seiko or whatever, it feels like these companies are run by watchmakers. They build the watches they want, then they tell their marketing team to advertise them.
Omega feels like the other way around."Hey Rolex has these colorful Oyster Perpetuals that sell like hot cakes, let's do the same thing with our most popular model". I unironically put them in the same category as Hublot, Tag Heuer or Breitling.

>>17139842
Don't for recent swatch watches can get their batteries replaced for free at the Swatch watch?

>>17139861
>when I look at...Rolex... it feels like these companies are run by watchmakers.
Which is ironic since Rolex was a marketing exercise from the start. In their earliest decades they didn't manufacture anything, they just licensed patents from other watchmakers and poured the rest of their money into constant advertising.

Brand Ambassadors? Rolex was paying Mercedes Gleitze to wear a Rolex watch while swimming across the English Channel back in the 1920s.

>>17139861
>tfw i work in marketing and have an omega

lol

>>17139879
>I am always amazed how shitters prefer daytonas over it.
Daytona is a sportier, more casual watch which is more in-keeping with our more casual times. Day-Dates still have a reputation as being an old man's watch, particularly the 36mm yellow gold versions.

>>17139884
>Day-Dates still have a reputation as being an black man's watch
ftfy

>>17139888
so does patek who cares

>>17139830

Black men have good taste in watches, cars and shoes

Sorry whitoids, it’s the truth

>>17139896
Good choice. If you've got the wrists for it, it's a tremendously cool watch, but it's definitely a big watch.

>>17139900
what about latinos

>>17139906
cars and women

>>17139831
No lume as far as I know. I've never worn it in the dark to check

>>17139873
>Rolex was paying Mercedes Gleitze to wear a Rolex watch while swimming across the English Channel back in the 1920s.
And that was a pretty smart marketing stunt. They just proved to the whole world their watches were water resistant at a time it was consider hi-tech. Same with the Everest expedition or the Pan Am thing.
I can't blame Omega for marketing the Speedmaster as the first watch on the moon, but fucking hell are they milking the shit out of it. I don't even think of the Speedmaster as a chronograph. It's just that watch Omega is releasing 5 different new models every years.

>>17139861
not a fan of this gimmick tbqh

omega is not the rolex copewatch, that's tudor

Tasteful dress watches with lume?

>>17139918
Rolex is precisely where they are in the market BECAUSE they have always been run by the marketing department, not the watchmakers.
They never lose sight of the fact that their job is to sell people watches that they want.

A company where the watchmakers make the decisions? Jaeger-LeCoultre. Brilliant movements, designs all over the place, nonexistent sales.

>>17139924
>Tasteful dress watches with lume?
No such thing. Lume is for sports watches.
It's like asking for tasteful dress watches at 42mm.

>>17139757
Yeah I don't like the SMP because it is fuckin ugly. Too big, too busy, pointless helium escape valve etc. The Speedmaster would be alright taking the moonwatch meme out of the equation but only because they haven't changed the design in 50 years. Otherwise the only good looking Omegas are the vintage-inspired ones and they ruin them with faux patina.

>>17139878
nice Steinhart hommage

>>17139720
From a usability point of view it's impossible to regret. Solar charging and atomic synch work fine (though the latter is kinda useless). You might regret it because it's ugly and works only with very casual outfits

>>17139937
The latest model of Seamasters look great imo.

>>17139970
I can't believe people fall for the watch scam
Oh for $3,000 you cant expect the endlinks to fit tightly, thats just asking too much.
This shit is all fraud. Omegas cost $500 to manufacturer. Fucking PP or VC watches cost $2,000 or so to make.
Just fraud and ripoffs all the way down.
$20 casios cost a nickle to manufacture

>>17139750
Air King is nice, Datejust is also a classic, Explorer would be similar to the Air King but a bit smaller.
IWC does absolutely nothing for me, don't get the appeal at all.
Pic related could be an option if you don't want to splurge but your price range is pretty much spot on (non-professional model) Rolex money.

>>17139979
By all means, then, show us what you, the intelligent buyer, spends his money on.

>>17139983

The funny thing is that if you had the money, you'd be buying that shit too. How are the grapes, Mr. Fox? A bit tart?

>>17139830
Get the Speedy or a Daytona because the Day Date is pretty much the same style as the two watches that you already own.
Wildcard option: Cartier Santos

>>17139970
it should buy more perfection then a 300 bucks replica dont you think?

>>17139976
So, you don't know. Got it.

>Omegas cost $500 to manufacturer.

it's within the budget, it's available, it's cool, it's still a 36mm so it's considered ideal since Rolex returned to 36mm from 39mm of the 2010 redesign.

SARB033

>>17140264
A few years ago I got to check it out at the Bvlgari boutique in LV. It was by far the most unique. Sandblasted gold looks very cool in person, like a pile of gold dust. It's luminous more than shiny.
It's also very heavy and, unfortunately for me, not designed for wristlets. You'd need a 7.5" wrist for it to look like it fits.

Why did they even discontinue them?

Seamaster Vs Speedmaster

>>17140319
Same reason they discontinued the SKX and SARX lines, their whole range consists of 5, prospex and presage. They consolidated their watches and made them all slightly more expensive for slightly inferior watches (movement downgrades, hollow end links, non signed crown, pressed clasps). The SARB033 was a bargain for the price.

>>17139756
>>17139858
I don't know why you're being such a retard about this. If your G-Shock is faster or slower by more than 15 seconds a month it's literally out of spec and it's a sign that it's broken or fake. I only change the time on my watches only during DST and keep track of the change. My best are around 5 seconds a month and the rest are within spec. The only one that is out of spec is over 15 years old, hasn't had a battery change in who knows how long, and it had some oxidation, likely from water damage. That one varies wildly and it can be fast by 35-40 seconds a month. You can use the trimmer screw to fix the accuracy and if you are autistic enough you can get it within 1 second a year.

>>17140608
The one I have came in a lot of different dial colors, I went with the classic black since it was gonna be my only speedmaster.

speedmaster with the metal bracelet

>>17140936
I own both, both are great. Second hand prices on the BB GMT will probably come down over time, but I expect the Speedmaster Professional prices to increase. If you're a wristlet, get the FOIS, if you've got at least 7 inch wrists, go for the regular moonwatch.

Why do rolexfags have some autistic hatred of Omega?

>>17140965
It's all just trolling.

Everyone with half a brain knows the quality difference between Omega and rolex is minimal. The main difference between the two is that Omega has more SKUs and less of a defined overall aesthetic.

>>17141050
Its not a rolex so its worth less than one penny

>>17141051

imho not having that 5 pointed crown on the dial makes a luxury watch infinitely better. Shakes out the ultra douche nozzles. grey market flippers, and tiktok clout-chasing 'infulencers'. That's objectively a good thing.

>>17141058
you made me cry

Anyone have any suggestions for watches similar to alabaster industries and vintage oakleys?
I can't find many suggestions online
I really like the look of them but don't want to drop 1k on a watch from 2004

>>17140936
Honestly, neither.
These may be the best options you have in that budget, but at the same time these are not very good watches.
The 3k-5k budget is a very tricky one. That's a huge chunk of money but there isn't anything really that interesting, original, or fancy. I'm unironically more excited by a 700€ Baltic than by any Omega or Tudor in the 5k price range. Keep in mind the other options you have in that budget are shit tier brands like Montblanc, Oris, Nomos or even worse Frederique Constant. This says a lot about how tricky that price range is.
This anon >>17141024 is 100% right. Save a couple of grand more. Starting 7k you'll have access to

>Rolex OP/DJ/Explorer
>Omega AT or Seamaster Heritage

>second hand JLC Master Control or Polaris

Pic related is a full set never worn JLC Polaris from 2021. MSRP is 8800€ for those.

I really like it in white at 36mm

>>17140917
wtc?

I'm looking for specification info on SNKL41, but getting different results. Some sites say case size is 37mm, others are saying it's 38mm, and amazon says it's 35mm. Does anyone here own this watch and know what the actual size is? Also, what's the difference between that and SNKL41J1? Any reason why I should get one over the other outside of color?

>>17141072
Alabaster watches is utter garbage.

I've been hearing about inaccuracy from the Grand Seiko 9SA5 movement, in the SLGH003 and SLGH005 (a.k.a. White Birch). Anybody know about that? Should the 9SA5 just be avoided?

>>17140192

first person I've seen that thinks of james bond watch when they look at an omega, instead of the other way around which is omega saying "HEY GUYS, REMEMBER WHEN WE PAID AN UNTOLD AMOUNT FOR A PRODUCT PLACEMENT?"

>>17141119
boo hoo cracker

>>17140270
Stay away from the bluetooth shit.

>>17141119
Yea it's hilarious because in the books James Bond is wearing an Explorer (just like Ian Fleming) and in the earlier movies he's wearing a Submariner. Rolex never paid Fleming nor the movie studio to be associated with James Bond. All of these people decided Bond should be wearing a Rolex because it's the best watch.
But then the butthurt niggers at Omega came to the movie studio and asked "c-cames James Bond wear an Omega please? We'll give you money."

I'll use that money to bring Gerald Genta back from the dead just so he can design a brand new watch which will be his greatest masterpiece.
Then I'll commission either Patek or Vacheron to create it as an exclusive and unique 1 of 1 piece.
Then I'll loan it out to JOMW to do a video review on, in which he'll refer to me as a "friend of the channel".
Then as soon as he drops the video, I'll immediately post it on /wt/ and make that one autistic anon seethe in anger.

Those posters are obviously joking. I don’t really think Rolex or Omega make sense for the modern Bond. The guy wore Brioni suits for a lot of movies and drives an Aston Martin with the implication being he’s a government hit man with very good taste, so I don’t see him being happy with a mass market watch. Has to be a diver since he beats people to death every movie and maybe he uses the bezel to time how long til an explosion goes off. I think a Blancpain would fit him better.

Also the Rolex watches were never great gadgets but the laser Seamaster was GOAT

This is very telling because it shows how little people in these threads understand about the watch Industry.

Omega's best selling line is the constellation or DeVille (can't remember which). They almost discontinued the speedy in the 90s because of low sales

Likewise, Rolex's best selling watch is the ladies datejust.

The world does not revolve around watch obsessed weirdos.
