Why does every watch reviewer do this?

>>17167461

Is the 38mm Bambino available for sale in Europe yet?

Is it normal for an automatic to gain about 1 minute per day? It's brand new so I'm wondering what's going on.

>>17167506
dunno

>>17167506
>case diameter is 1 and 37 64s of an inch, which is much more preferable than 1 and 21 32s of an inch
Yeah, that's much easier to understand

>>17167521
america is in good company

>>17167520
Uh no.
The shittiest Selita/ETA movements are -12/+30s per day.
Your watch has probably been magnetised or something.

>>17167521
This is a lie, way more.countries should be yellow

>>17167530
Oh. Is there anything I can do about it or do I need to take it to a shop?

WAYWT?

posted this in the other thread, but what does effay think of my graduation gift

>>17167543
Of its brand new then send it the fuck back.

>>17167543
They sell these demagnetizers on Amazon for like 15€. Never tried it but apparently they work pretty well.

>>17167575
Oh, a double penis, nice!

>>17167585
I stupidly sold it a while back. Made some money but at what cost?

I think I'm gonna buy the GS in the OP bros

>>17167584
Fuck the bracelet, a nice strap suits it better anyway. The case has seen better days but it's nothing serious. I'd say go for it, the applied minute markers alone are worth it.

>>17167553
Just a basic Seiko 5. It's very accurate most of the time but I always have to roll it back by 1 minute every morning. It's never more than a minute off, probably more like 40 or 50 seconds.

>>17167575
I've got a data analysis exam tomorrow, so doing very little actual work at the moment, will be nice to get it out of the way. Shame about your penisquartz, I've briefly considered selling mine since I'd make a decent profit but I know I'd regret it even if I don't wear it very often.
>>17167580
Thanks
>>17167584
The bracelet isn't original which would put me off, especially as hooded lugs always look a bit weird without the proper bracelet

>>17167597
Agreed about the bracelet. It would look weird even with a leather strap and there's no chance of finding a replacement.

>>17167606
Yeah, especially if the bracelet had to be exactly right since the clasp would have the superior quartz logo. Here's the watch from the 1977 catalogue, the bracelet reference is in the bottom right - XBA280, the bracelet itself has that embossed on the underside where it connects to the watch.

Shame San Martin didn't copy the bracelet as well.

It's not a penisquartz, but it's close. Can I still join the club?

>>17167627
Sure.

>>17167635

>>17167618
>Chinese date wheel
so sexy

>>17167592
Do it

>>17167627
The dial is very beautiful, but the watch being a quartz means the banged up house and bracelet are not charming enough for you to get away with wearing such a worn down watch.

>>17167618
San Martin do old homages?? Do they do one of this?

>>17167676
Would I be disappointed if I bought a real one of these?

>>17167677
A truly vintage DJ? Probably. This will probably make people seethe but vintage Rolex are not all that well made, especially compared to modern watches. The difference between a modem reference DJ to an older one is immense. From the super stretchy jubilee to the cheap clasp to the fact it has probably been beat to shit over the years and neglected service wise

>>17167682
I almost bought one like 2 years ago for £1900 and decided against it. That same one now would be like £3000.

>>17167686
They’re not bad watches as long as you know what you’re getting into and pick one in reasonably good condition. I doubt you’d lose much money even if you bought one now and sold it down the line.

If it’s your first Rolex though I’d just spend more on a modern OP or DJ.

>>17167635
BBBBBBBBBASED AND WHALECUM

>>17167677
>>17167682
The movement in the old DJ is amazing, just make sure to buy one made after 1988 (the 3135 movement has quick date function and better PR).
The problem will be the bracelet yeah, especially if the watch was made before the early 2000s because Rolex used hollow end links back then, and the clasp was terrible.
And just like any vintage watch, they won't be anti-magnetic.

Despite all that, vintage Datejust have so much SOVL.
Is it reasonable to spend 6 or 7k for one? No. But I totally get it.

Suggest me a good Seiko that would look nice on both a military dress and fancier clothes
Price range 150-200 euros
Alternatives are welcome

>>17167635
Uh, my message got deleted again.

>>17167691
I don't like the modern ones. The 16030 is my grail watch desu as it's the best looking watch I can (almost) afford.

>>17167698
Good info thanks. I don't mind folded end linked desu. Old Rolex have a certain charm.

>>17167676
Is there a similar Omega like this from the 80s or 90s?

>>17167709
80s/90s Omega were terrible. They suffered a lot from the quartz crisis and the brand almost died.
The golden age for Omega is the 50s/60s/70s.

>>17167725
Are there any that look like the modern globemasters?

Always thought these would be way more valuable by now...

>>17167725
If only they had died (or been bought by Seiko in the 80s)

>>17167740
fauxtina is a justified deal breaker for lots of people

>>17167725
Are there any particularly nice ones for around £1000-1500 to look out for?

>>17167750
The "pie pan" constellation isn't generally much more, though as always you should assume it runs like shit and needs a service, plus do plenty of research to avoid getting a frankenwatch

>>17167736
Not that I know of. Maybe from the early 2000s after Swatch bought Omega.
>>17167750
The one in very good condition now sell for around 3000€. Price have been going though the roof lately.
Check out this site, they have some vintage Omega (among other brands) serviced by themselves :

Thoughts on this as I'm too cheap to pay for a Datejust?

>>17167767
It's pretty damn nice. 35mm too.

Omegachads...WE WON

>>17167748
Nice-looking watch. I had to choose between this one and a seiko presage, in the end I went for the seiko but this one is great as well.

>>17167785
I was looking at presage too. Also Hamilton jazz master. They’re all beautiful watches but I went with the tissot because the vintage logo reminds me of an old muscle car and the dial reminds me of an old speedometer

>>17167781
>vintage inspired
>39mm
It's just like the Tudor Ranger. Too big.
They want to pander to vintage enthusiasts and the amerilard market with the same product.

>>17167781
I tried that on, it's very nice. It's thin and has just an ever so slight dome on the crystal. Dual barrels in series, which is rare. The lugs are slightly too straight across the wrist, but nothing too major. The strap felt cheap tho. Very nice otherwise.

>>17167812
39mm is not too big for a casual watch.

>>17167820
Should be 36mm as a vintage inspired watch. IT's a very common fuck-up.
Pic extremely related.

>>17167820
For a modern design, it's fine.
For such an obvious vintage design, it's a huge faux-pas.

>>17167827
If this was 36-38mm it would be perfect. 42mm!!!

Good morning sirs, anything wrong with wearing slim jeans at 29 years of age?

The crown was kinda little also. Still made my list, very nice. Never considered owning an omega until they came out with this.

>>17167863

How much is it?

>>17167865
7-8k

>>17167844

for just 5k

Thanks man,

Hello /wt/
I come to you in need of your expertise. I know next to nothing about watches, but you've helped me find what I need before. I know what I want and I'm wondering if an anon can suggest me something that is
>analog
>mesh strap is a must
>standard numbers, no roman numerals or numberless face
>24 hr numbers under the 12 hr is a must
>quartz, preferably solar powered
>tells the date
>as thin as possible
My budget is $300. Only thing I've seen so far that fits the bill are Skagen Solar watches. Thanks in advance.

>>17167545
I got a movado museum for my bar mitzvah, the first nice watch I ever owned. They get a lot of hate but honestly if you don't care about quartz vs mechanical they are nice looking watches although a little overpriced

>>17167908
>mesh strap is a must
You can buy a mesh bracelet anywhere, they're cheap. SNE095, 100m WR, 10mm thick, around a 100 bucks.

My friend had one from the 40s and he wore it out in the rain and it broke. Cost $1000 in fixes.

>>17167462
What brand is this? It's kind of cool, for the sake of having an ultra minimalist watch.

>How to not get a parts bin watch.
Buy from someone reputable.
>What are common points of failure I can check for replacement. Is the watch reasonable to service?
Generally when buying vintage watches you should be ready to get them checked/serviced at your local watchmaker when you first get them, so you can have a peace of mind later on. The movements on these are fairly simple so any watchmaker worth his salt should be able to service it. There is nothing in particular with them that would fail, they usually just need a cleaning and new oils.

what the fuck is going on with these bracelets?

An orient mako 2 or kamasu would fit that price point, a seiko 5 sports from the new line should be around 350€ new.
There's also the vostok watches which are around 100€ with shipping, although they're pretty low quality and I don't even know if you could buy them with the russian sanctions.

>>17168289
Yes but you have to shell out for the bracelet version, oh wait is the bracelet gold capped? Hmm. I bet it's not a fast seller so you should see if you can actually get 20% from the ad, then go for the bracelet version

Why do Rolexfags always sperg out over ecelebs?

>>17168285
>now where everything is about the fucking money
Yeah, people become memetubers to eran a living doing almost no work, that's why they have always the revenue on their mouths, it makes me completely stop watching when a memetuber starts bitching and moaning about how people dislike too much sponsors, literally saying the video is free for us so we shouldn't say anything, when we literally have to endure minutes of ads on youtube, then more minutes of sponsors and then the patreon and self promotion, it's tiring to have to literally skip half the video because if they don't keep making more money they don't even make videos.
Adsense was the worst that could ever happen to youtube, it literally killed all creativity and now no fucking one makes a video because they like it but because they eran money.

>>17168285
The whole point of Watchfinder (the Youtube channel) is to promote Watchfinder, the pre-owned watches marketplace.
Watchfinder is way too dependent on Rolex sales, and now that the market is changing they're shitting themselves. One of their direct competitors, Chronext, recently fired 40 employees because the sales are plummeting.
People don't want to buy overpriced Rolex now.

Now I think this video >>17168277 is absolutely hilarious because even though people don't buy Rolex above MSRP anymore, they still want a Rolex more than anything else. So Watchfinder is in this situation where they want to be less dependent from Rolex sales, but they still have to make dozens of videos about Rolex so people keep watching their videos.

I can't imagine how butthurt the people at Richemont must be.

it's a British watch

one of several Brit microbrands that sprung up over the covid lockdowns where fellas had a lot more time on their hands
there's a couple of other models they brought out at the same time, a 'goofy' panda, a mint-choc-chip and this desert sky

finishing is pretty decent for £500

What Rolex do you want?

Thinking about getting an Orient Kamasu, the red dial really speaks to me. I want to buy myself a watch for graduation/getting a job in the field. Would it look nice in a suit? Tho i like it, i'm not dead set on it for my first purchase. Would you suggest something else? Or maybe getting a leather strap with it to switch between office and other activities?
Also, i found a reseller for pic related, seems mint condition, barely more expensive than the retail Kamasu, but i feel like it would be a sin to swim with a leather strap, maybe a fabric or diving strap to go with it (i don't think steel would look well on it).
I would like a mechanical/automatic. I feel a little overwhelmed when looking through seiko models on websites of nearby stores, and i don't think the pics would capture how the watches would look irl. Bunch of Seiko 5s and Presage but i can't really tell which stands out as a good fit (and the latter can be a little pricey for my first purchase desu). Looking for something that could work in every occasion, so i'm a little shy about a bambino, or something too dressy or an open heart complication. Yes i've gone down yt rabbit holes.

>>17168350
What Rolex do you want?
What else do they carry

>>17168327

What about other brands?

Depends, are you a wristlet?

You want to be a Seikochad don't you?

>>17168353
>>17168356
>What Rolex do you want?
OP 41mm Green or Silver w/ gold indexes for me, OP 28mm Pink for Wife
and Submariner no date.
If they have any I'll consider any non flutted DJ in 41mm except of maybe white one

>>17168363
>What do you mean why? Are you blind? It's disgusting
show me something you consider nice then
>>17168365
>Feels like Rolex
Not exactly, because you can see where they cut some corners, but... I posted this few times already but as a reminder:
Tudor now is what Rolex used to be - a really decent reasonably priced watch.

>>17168370
OP silver and gold or the DJ are your best bets followed by the op green. Dunno bout the pink for the wife and you're not getting a sub. Just go for those, or something else they sell.

>>17168354
I recently bought a kamasu but in blue, and paired it with a blue and white NATO. I love the watch, but I wouldn't wear it with a suit personally, the watch is too sporty for that. It's great for all casual outfits though.

>>17168280
That’s entirely possible.

>>17168354
i'd argue that the model in your pic on the brown leather would work well as a nice desk-diver for work and most any other setting except black-tie
and yeah, don't go swimming with it even on a steel bracelet unless you're really confident in the screw-down crown
that red is lush btw

>>17168365

tudor would be a brand I'd be much more interested if not for 2 things:

1. I'm an anglophobe and it sounds like something a br*tish would wear

2. the incessant comparisons to rolex, "poor man's rolex", etc. I don't want a rolex especially not a poor man's rolex. I had a rolex before. I hate the idea of owning a rolex. it's cringe NPC normie shit. fuck rolex.

>>17168371
Literally any Daytona looks better. They make tudors ugly to punish people for being too poor to afford a rolex

>>17168368
>wristlet
Nope
>seikochad
Yeah, but I said alternatives are welcome
Seikofagging can wait for now, if necessary

>>17168373
Girly rolexes are generally available. Dunno about pink but I'll ask when I they finally deliver my Tudor Royal 28 for her.
Once they asked me about what OP did I really want but I said Green and it was literally end of discussion, but back then I didn't know anything about buying rolexes in year of our lord 2022 and etiquete surrounding it...

>>17168384
Is her heart set on pink? I guess you could wait. Any of the black bays, the GMTs, the pelagos, fxd, or even the new Chronos are pretty cool. I would just go for the DJ. Or maybe they have some other brands that are cool?

>>17168381
>Daytona looks better
Maybe for you but it's unobtainium and I much rather go for El Primero than buying a Gaytona.
>>17168380
>1. I'm an anglophobe and it sounds like something a br*tish would wear
That's what bothered me as well but I got over it pretty quick when I find those are pretty good stuff priced around Longines.
>2. the incessant comparisons to rolex, "poor man's rolex", etc. I don't want a rolex especially not a poor man's rolex. I had a rolex before. I hate the idea of owning a rolex. it's cringe NPC normie shit. fuck rolex.
if you care for what other people think then yeah. don't go for it
I'd argue Tudor is the new Rolex. I think they have bright future ahead.

also
where are you from? asking because you claim to be anglophobic

>>17168274
Because you could’ve just saved a little more and bought a Rolex.

It arrives on friday

>>17168388
>Other brands
Zenith
Defy Classic skeleton or Chronosport
>inb4 they'll kill Defy by the end of the year
I know

>>17168390
I didn't say daytonas are good, just better. There is no tudor that looks better than the equivalent rolex. It's like the horrible black trim on the basic level cars, to make it look a bit ugly in the hopes they'll spend the extra

No one who could afford a rolex would choose a tudor, its a cope brand

Impatience commands either settling or getting gouged. Put your name down at a local AD.

Also, I posted two already, including pic rel.

>>17168406
Not him but you need to scoot that watch back a bit, it's too close to your hand

>>17168409
I like it on the bone. It just looks too close because of the angle of my hand.

>>17168406
What garbage

>>17168392
Well today is Wednesday and it's already ugly. This is coming from a Seiko fan. Wear it in good health.

>>17168406
>Put your name down at a local AD.
Lol.
It's literally the same process.
also
either you're a fucking wristlet or a bitch because I can't see a straight male wearing this POS

>>17168060
Can tissot be a winner too? It’d make me feel good

>>17167758
This. I want a pie pan bad, but they are notorious for being a minefield even compared to other vintage watches. There was a photo on omega forums brand new (fake) pie pan dials being made. You have to be really careful to get a good example. Still up there with a pole router and longines raf watch as my most wanted vintage (that I could conceivable afford ie justify to myslef)

>>17168077
That’s one of the best looking invicta I’ve seen. Good on you for not going with the heaviest, gaudiest watch in the world. My wife got me a solid black one that I’m pretty sure I could bludgeon someone to death with.

>>17168419
>>17168415
The truth hurts, so they say.

>>17168420
They make a shit ton of watches every year.

>>17168423
>truth
1. if you want to be on the list it's the same criteria as buying any other rolex - good relationship with ad (buy other stuff of them) and or buying another rolex there (at least something for ladies)
2. that watch isn't nice. it's something a girl would wear. I'd only go for either gold sub or platinium DD. And maybeee Cellini

>>17168423
Lol. I'm glad you enjoy it, but it's not to my taste, to say the least. Did you have to save up for that? I hope not, you might not can afford it if you did. Some Rolex fans are truly and irredeemably delusional. It reminds me of religious zealotry and sexual fetishes.

>>17168426
>1.
Simply untrue. Put your name down, wait, be rewarded.

>2.
I guess girls have good taste.

>>17168430
>Simply untrue. Put your name down, wait, be rewarded.
you're either deluded, dumb or that Rolex is a fake
>I guess girls have good taste.
and you have to be gay to wear that

>>17168392
Looks like shit. Big oof.

>>17168451
I like the dial color

>>17168340
>Can I even order such bracelet from Tudor?
Yeah but you probably have to do it through an AD, tudor probably wont sell you one directly and the ad will probably want to see that you actually own the watch before they will order one. At least they wont be crazy about bracelets like rolex used to be where they would demand your old bracelet before they would sell you a new one.

>>17168392
I can't keep up with all the Seiko divers, what model is this supposed to be? It's not from the latest batch of Willard throwback models, right?

>>17168354
Yeah the kamasu is fine with a suit unless you work in a super stuffy law firm or something

>>17168457
I already bought a Tudor and ordered second one for my wife. And if I decide to pull the trigger I'll go to the same place i got those two from

>>17168465
It should be no problem, just ask them before buying the watch but I'm guessing they will get you one without any issue

Saw a Rolex strap on an Orient in a normiebook group im in

>did you just say your watch is QUARTZ
>Quartz is NOT handcrafted Swiss movement from the Alps, your watch is USELESS!

>>17168459
Sla051

>>17168509
>>17168392
Damn it's the top of the range one. This is just my opinion but it's completely the wrong watch to get the 'GS level of finishing and movement', it gets completely lost in that weird case. You do you, but i'd rather buy something else with that money.

>>17168465
>I already bought a Tudor and ordered second one for my wife
what waiting list are you trying to get on? Submariner?

>>17168289
BB chrono is absolutely more based than the GMT but don't get the two tone. Save some money and get a better looking watch while you're at it

>>17168326
>all this headcanon
Rolex are still sold for 2-4x retail on a daily basis
yeah the grey dealers had to go down a few thousand but their inventory is still selling like hot cakes

I really like the look of these Grand Seikos, considering getting one rather that waiting two years for a Rolex. What's the most /fa/ GS, also is changing their bracelets recommended? It's the one aspect of them I don't like so much.

>>17168542
Changing your bracelet is always recommended if you don't like the bracelet that comes with your watch.

>>17168544
But with a Rolex the bracelets cost about $1700 dollars, so seems silly to buy a watch if you don't like it.

>>17168549
sell the bracelet

>>17168542
you buy a watch because you like it, its very concerning you asking what you should buy from total strangers. Is this the mentality of most rolex buyers?

>>17168553
rolex buyers are some of the most insecure pipo on earth

>>17168542
Buy a GS for yourself if you really like it, there are tons of them with different cases and dials so you're bound to find something you like. Their bracelets aren't bad by any means, they're just not Rolex level of good. They pair well with straps so there is no need to worry. Best options currently would be one of the Birches (white hibeat or spring drive, black, green) or you could always go for one of the classic Snowflake, and if you like the look of the 44GS case there are stunning dials to be found there as well. Take your time, look around, consider your options, then buy something you actually really like.

>>17168542
>What's the most /fa/ GS

i don't think Grand Seiko are particularly fashionable
they're beautiful, sure; with excellent* finishing on the dials and cases (movements are debatable) but i don't think anyone who cares about trends is going to gravitate toward a GS, nor are any fashionable people going to know what a Grand Seiko is... though i suppose if you go for one of the more striking models, you'll get attention, or if you go for understated elegance, you'll have something for every occasion

what do you think, yourself -- do you want a recognisable brand that people will 'ooh' about for a second on meeting you, or are you looking for something that will make you go 'ooh' every time you glance at your wrist ?


*see 'impeccable'

>>17168577

>>17168832
Boo hoo.

>>17168542
>>17168766
As long as Grand Seiko keeps saying Seiko on the dial, they will never be fa.

>>17168838
You don't own a Rolex.

>>17168838
couldn't agree more, bro; but you don't need to convince me more pal, i already think they're great

>>17168517
GS divers are shit looking except for the new one

>>17167544

Why doesn't anyone make something like this super cheap? I crammed a cheap Chinese 3185 clone movement into a 36mm explorer style case. I havent re lumed the dial yet

>>17168879
Something like what? A vaguely Rolex-like Indian-tier frankenwatch? You can get those from street stalls in Pakistani mountains, they cobble that shit together just like kalashnikovs.

>>17168881
A really cheap explorer style gmt

>>17168616
I got my dad a G-Shock. He uses it every day at work. Everyone in my family wears G-Shock and we talk about them occasionally. I only wear one watch but seeing good watches on the wrists of those around me multiplies my joy.
