Best everyday watch for 1500€?

>>17240725
I think Seiko has the 3 o'clock date figured out pretty well.

>>17240780
Terrible proportions, ugly bracelet and a stupid dial texture that has never looked good on any watch. Not a fan of the date window but that's not too big of a problem.
Should've gotten better parts from the GS bin. King Seiko isn't perfect either but it's pretty close.

>>17240767
It's not about being a wristlet, retard. Elongated lugs fuck up the proportions.
The Breguet Marine is 39mm in diameter and 50mm lug to lug. That's fucking stupid because it will look too large on average wrists (because of the long lugs) and too small on large wrists (because of the "small" case).

These dimensions are even more hilarious when you compare them with watches with a 38-40mm case.
Tudor BB58
>39mm case
>47mm lug to lug
Omega Aqua Terra
>38mm case
>45mm lug to lug
Rolex GMT Master II
>40mm case
>48mm lug to lug
Even the new Breitling Navitimer is 48mm lug to lug in its 43mm iteration.

Also don't get me started on roman numerals on a sports watch.
What a fucking stupid watch. Unironically kill yourself for liking it.

>>17240808
damn that case thickness is way more offensive than any fugly lug width

>>17240808
lmao is that a pocket watch that somebody added a strap to?

Had a look at some mall watches today. Davosa copies the Rolex design pretty good if you're interested in that. Otherwise it seems to me that they all use the same standard parts and the only real difference is the name on the dial. Japanese watches and Swatch group stand out a little bit, but not by much. In general they have a plasticy lacquered look to them, even though the material is supposed to be stainless steel. The more expensive models are not visible in the store front, so do actual luxury watches have a better look to them?

>>17240819

I expected as much, but I did see some on eBay going for around 6k.

>>17240831
possibly quartz or ladies, or just in poor condition. also vintage patek's were tiny, like 33mm so do not sell well today.

>>17240831
how does the authenticity check work for eBay or chrono24? It's supposed to be safe but I'd still worry that I spent a lot on some obscure rep, especially with used or vintage watches

>>17240839
iirc ebay will accept the watch and verify it first and will guarantee it's legit. think they only do that in the US though

C24 do not verify, they instead offer escrow.

>>17240839

I can't speak for C24, but I've sold a watch on eBay before that was authenticated. I had to mail it in to the verifier in some random dilapidated apartment in Illinois. A day later, I got a notification that it was verified, then sent to the buyer.

>>17240762
The crown and crown guards do effect it though.

>>17240862
There should be more watches out there without a visible crown.

>>17240762
I love Breguet but those lugs are completely fucked.

>>>/pol/394862257

>>17240761
My wife got me the automatic for my birthday. Love it. It still has a sunburst effect on the textured dial.

>>17240885
Quartzbros won

>>17240828
>In general they have a plasticy lacquered look to them, even though the material is supposed to be stainless steel.
That's because of the lighting. 99% chances you'll get the same look with luxury watches.

ROLEX CHADS STAND UP

>>17240898
damn, what's the point then? I mean the bracelet, not the case, but obviously your statement holds for that, too

>>17240932
It's true, a Seiko bracelet and a Rolex have no difference in fit and finish besides design.

>>17240932
Without entering this debate, even though this Anon is wrong >>17240939
The point is that it's jewelry. It's better sold if it appears shiny, hence the store lighting.
If you want to see how it looks in normal conditions, ask if you can take the watch outside.
Of course, it has better chances of working in small stores than in malls.

>>17240929
Represent

>>17240961
Is shiny bad? Is that like the benchmark for perceived watch value now?

>>17240961
yes, I meant actual lighting conditions. I have a Seiko 5 from 2012 with a jubilee bracelet, which looks like actual metal. My quartz Seiko has a different bracelet, but the finishing makes it look unauthentic. It's the same quality that I get from these mall watches, but the vintage Ebel sport wave in a different store looked the part even with the store lighting. It's hard to judge from photos, but the Rolex bracelets also seem to look like metal rather than plastic

>>17240929

>>17240969
Have you tried reading?

Your reminder that Rolex and Tudor are the same company and coordinate everything.

I'm a poor, am I better off with a cheap decent casio or having no watch at all?

A few months back we had a lot of casio fans in this thread but I can never tell when 4chan is memeing or not.

Also other respected cheap-ish brands that look good.

>>17241046
poodor and nosex

>>17241046
I’d rather jerk off in a Rolex than fuck in a Tudor. They just aren’t heirloom quality.

>>17241064
Casio is really good and probably the best bang for your buck as the watch e-celebs like to say. With a g-shock you can get atomic timekeeping, solar power, 10 year batteries, diving capable features among others. The aesthetics are debateable and subjective but I think pretty much everyone can appreciate the square and pic related.

You probably won't get fawned over by Rolexfags itt but do you really want to?

>>17241064
im getting a rolex but i love citizens and casios, what type are you looking for?

>>17241079
Yeah that's what I thought, they looks pretty cool. I also really like the utilitarian look.

Thanks anon.
>>17241080
Probably am going to get a blackish Gshock one, I don't have a specific one in mind yet.

>>17240820
That's how the wristwatch was invented.

>>17241093
Anyone who hates Gshocks is giga autistic.

>>17241079
Who cares about atomic timekeeping?
Watches are fashion accessories, style is all that matters provided that some functionality and engineering is given.

>>17241079
Eco Drive is as good as atomic.

>>17241129
No it's not, but it's good enough.
There are atomic Eco Drive movements anywy.

>>17241064
I only own G-Shocks and if I was a logical and sensical person I would buy a $50 DW-5600. I hope I could afford $150 for a screw down back like a DW-5735D at least. It's the least I need to be content.

>>17240719
How true is this image, and what is your interpretation

Could I wear a watch chain and a wrist watch simultaneously? I'd like to go for pic related look but prefer not to look autistic.

>>17241152
its based

>>17241152
Obviously made by a poorfag weeb.

>>17241149
What a faggy cartoon character. Every time Omega plasters him on one of their watches, their brand power drops by a tenth

Just inherited this, any idea how much it's worth?

>>17241162
ok but they make a shitload of money and they instantly sell out, so I doubt they care what you think

>>17241171

>>17241162
don't even like omega, but boohoo cracker

>>17241176
>hypebeasts
>buying snoopy watches
no, it's the middle managers who want to make them selves more "personable"

>>17241176
Honestly I think it's speculators gambling that they will be worth big money down the line. Now I sort of doubt it because of how many different ones there are, but the Speedmaster market is filled with more autism than you can imagine and some weird reference might be worth a hundred thousand bucks or more down the line for some reason.

>>17241064
Just get a regular g-shock square dw-5600
Should be about $40, durable looks great will last for ages, comfortable etc etc

>>17241183

The silver snoopy award is a real award issued by astronauts to the personnel that make their equipment and mission safe. Thats why Omega uses it to integrate it with the Speedmaster. Its pretty safe to say that rocket scientists and engineers are thousands of times better than you are and have far more value as humans. So your opinion is worth nothing and inferior. You are garbage.

Green Oyster, or the white one depending on which one I like more when they give me "Le call"

>>17241265
I got it at like 35% off MSRP, and for that price, I like it very much.
While the bezel is polished, the external side of the case is brushed, so I haven't seen scratches. I dont baby it, but I just work at IT, so no heavy duty anything.
About the movement, it used to run slightly slow at -8spd average, now I measured it, and it goes from -5 to +3, so, not bad. Mind you, I used a phone app, not a real timegrapher.
It uses one of the powermatic movements (well, only Tissot calls it that, but the name stuck), but this uses standard escapement.
Overall I like it, and one of the better watches from Mido's regular lineup. I find the regular Multiforts too bulky. The baroncellis too boring, and the bellunas too 'office-sque'. Though, sometimes you might get a feeling of a dish plate, due to the thin bezel and the boxed crystal.

Good luck man, what made you decide on it? Honestly I would rather donate blood for extra money for the gray than to deal with the ADs in the NYC area. Can’t say what your model is selling at gray, but I would still give a looksee using watcheagle, or giving le Reddit a try and maybe doing a trade if you don’t have a watch you don’t want. Nothing against people who try with ADs, but my Jimmie’s are maximally rustled at the process required. I don’t look like sucking up, spending without guarantees, and being kept in the dark.

The opinion of a black is meaningless. Your parole officer called, he wants you to check in.

>>17241312
Unless you are willing to wear a ladies watch, you are gonna need to make compromises on either the size or the functions.
Watches with these functions are usually >40mm.
The only exception I can think of is the Casio Oceanus S4000-S5000, but I think they have weird lugs which will prevent changing straps.

My guess is the author meant that most of these brands' watches are around the 2-5k range. Just not making it to luxury sunglasses pepe level, but you spent enough money to try to call yourself a big boy. AP is there also because they haven't made anything notable other than recolored royal oaks in half a century, people only buy them because they are expensive, that's more or less what that category repreents.

>>17241444
>>17241448
Sorry if it's not the style you want. Watches with these functions tend to be mor eon the utilitarian side. Still, there are nicely finished models.

G-shock GMW-B5000D (or a modded square G for cheaper)
G-shock MTG series. (I think anyone can pull off the simplest color schemes.)

Citizen Nighthawk or Skyhawk, but I don't see them working Ith a fancy outfit.

Really not a lot of nice watches with an alarm and count down timer.
Unless you cannot use your phone for some reason, I'd use it for those functions (much more ergonomic anyway) and it would let a lot more choices.

>>17241482
>That lip bite

>>17241485
Meant Skyhawk or Navihawk. Not that it changes much of what I meant.

Good point about the alarms and timer. I guess my phone can fill those functions for me.

What options are available?

>mfw my high-end watch collection

>>17241537
They appear to be identical unless im missing something, same case, same movment, same strap.
Might be something stupid like they come in different packaging or maybe one is an older release of the same watch but they didn't change anything about it for the newer one.
It looks like the 10E comes in that plastic scuba tank case and the 28E comes in a black plastic box with foam padding on the inside.

>>17241546
I could care less about the packaging desu. Going with the 10E in that case, thank you mate! cheers

Nah, cheap autos are a meme, the auto prx is too thick, sits high on the wrist, and too big. Doesn't look good on most people, the quartz versions are closer to the original, which was also a quartz watch.

Suit yourself, that movement uses plastic parts as a cost saving measure and is considered disposable.

It's pretty good, buddy. Sometimes I do, cucumber, shallots and habaneros and substitute the apple cider and red wine for white vinegar and white wine vinegar with some dill to make pickles. I'm making chicken parmesan right now for dinner, so I'll post that when it's done.
As far as watches, Tooters are alright. You get weird case materials because I imagine Rolex limits the more exotic dial options and bracelets designs go. I bought this because it was the only bronze case watch on the market at the time, and I can larp as a pirate in with the leather strap. I would like to have a BB silver just because, but there is other things I would like to have before then. The one with the bronze case and bracelet is cool, but bronze on my skin feels weird as fuck

Is this guy right? Are rolex's in house movement trash right now?

>>17241623
There's nothing out there under $500 you can't get online. Maybe a Lorier from Grand Central Watch, but that's about it. If you just want an all-rounder watch, get a Seiko SNE569. Any Macy's will probably stock it, idk.

I got a new movement coming for this piece of shit since that date now completely refuses to change on its own. Should I take it to my watch maker to have it changed or should I try my luck and it myself? I really like this watch so I don't want to end up fucking it, really scared about scratching the dial. I got the proper tool for it but the dial protector tool seems like it would be too think to slide under the hour hand. My dilemma comes from the fact that last time I had a casio cleaned I was given it back with fust visible inside the case, so I'm worried they won't treat it with respect.

They all wear smaller than they seen like they do because of the way casio measures, best reference is YouTube videos to get caliper measuments and see how they wear

Find a watchmaker that treats your valuable collectables with respect.
Don't try a movement swap on a watch you care about if you have never done it before

Hi /wt/ I want to start a website with articles about watches, similar to hodinkee. Any thoughts as to what I should name it?

>>17241794
Some JLC watches are so beautiful that I feel physical pain knowing I can't afford them.

It's sad that watch threads on /fa/ is completely full of people that actually hate watches and just see them as a way to flex on people.

They are all bad and amateurish. Just look at all the youtube channels names after watch puns and you can see the vibe they give. I mean if you are going for a "just for fun" name and don't want to be taken seriously I say go for it. Personally it just makes my eyes roll every time I see something named after a watch pun and I have no interest in the content.

MD 736, has the marlin branding on the back of it like a duro, the marlin is casio's equivalent of a diver rated watch. I'm lucky casios with the same movement are still readily available, cost me only $30 for the new watch. I really like the vintage sizing of it

>>17241952
I've been obsessed with vintage casio dive watches like the mtd 1010. This dial on this one looks awesome and the day date complication isnt really featured on the mtd line. How was this only $30 when similar watches rea going for $100 on ebay rn? Which watches is the movement available? Anyway awesome watch.

>>17241951
very

>>17241811
That's magnificent. I hate that I'll never own this.

>>17241957
I've become obsessed with vintage casios too. It only has a date complication and the watch itself wasn't $30, that would be the donor watch which is an mw59, the md736 was around $10 but I bought an entire lot of junk casios on yahoo japan, some worked perfectly, some need tlc. This one worked fine up until I wore it to a club and I guessed I knocked it around a bit too much so the date gave out. I also have a blue mtd 1010 that needs some fixing and a few other interesting retros. I've really gone down the rabbit hole of vintage casio divers, I now have a grail which is a MD703, pic related, over 1k for a mint one.

They truly are the watchmaker of the watchmakers.

Would it be bad to let a chronograph continuously run? The seconds hand sitting lifeless at 12 feels weird to me and I'd prefer to see it moving all the time.

>>17241981

>>17241989
>Would it be bad to let a chronograph continuously run
its actually better to keep it running

>>17241989
>The seconds hand sitting lifeless at 12 feels weird to me
You remind me of those retards that think their chrono is broken because they don't know how a chrono is supposed to work. Anyway I think you're also retarded, just get a normal watch instead of a chrono at that point, I doubt you're gonna be using the feature much if at all if all you plan to do is let it run continuously
>>17241998
It actually depends on the clutch type. I'm pretty sure it's only better for old seiko movements

>>17241989
Vertical clutch is probably fine to run. Just stop it every once in a while so it doesn’t seize. As long as you don’t push service intervals to outrageous lengths, people worry too much about it.

>>17242002
>nooooo! you cant own a sporty car if you're not taking it to the track every weekend!

chances are you dont even use it for anything yourself.

>>17241998
Thanks anon, it's my first chrono.

>>17242005
That's what I figured for it, it's brand new but I'll follow the schedule for it when the time comes for service.

>>17242007
Lol you're an idiot. Go ahead and get a sporty car, I'm not saying you should go drive it at the track every weekend, I'm saying why are you getting it if you're complaining about the lack of room, the rough ride and the mileage (what makes a sports car a sports car. It's the same with the chrono, why get one when you don't like how it works, it's just retarded.
>>17242007
>chances are you dont even use it for anything yourself.
I actually time shit daily with my chrono, cooking food, making tea, how long to bill a client, etc. I really don't get the point of getting a chrono if you're not gonna use it, I can understand a static feature like a diver's watwr resistance, but a chrono? I just don't get it.

>>17242014
I didn't like how it works, I'm just not used to it. I probably will use it for cooking the most and maybe for other things like music or timing certain journeys. Or exercise too, I used the stopwatch on an F91W initially for that but this will be a lot better for running laps.

>>17242016
Idk maybe I just find retarded and childish because it make me think of when I was a kid and got my first chrono and did the same thing and I look back on it now and think how retarded that was. You'll get used it I guess.

>>17242019
I get that man. Mostly I also just wondered if it being stationary too often would be bad for it, since at least that's the case with engines if you let them sit for very long periods.

>>17242022
Nah the real killed is stopping and resetting it but again I'm pretty sure this only applied to those old seikos. Hopefully someone who understands movements better will post here and explain the intricacies of why you should or shouldn't keep your chrono running.

>>17242026
I hope so. Mostly I just want to know the right balance to keep it healthy.

>>17241186

I really hate the "affordable watch alternative" videos. It's not an affordable alternative, it's a lookalike and owning it won't satisfy you.

The link to that photo.
The day you share the photo online, anyone can copy and paste it anywhere, and they have just the same rights as you to do so.

>>17242247
I forgot the second question.
You are correct, the point is bragging rights, money laundering, etc.
You can also imagine applications that give you access to certain stuff depending NFTs you own*, but that's a solution to a problem that didn't exist, because Databases are a thing, and why would a dev bother implementing and keeping up with resources from an unmanaged external source.

>>17242250
Can't believe that the "watch community" shat all over the Maurice Lacroix Aikon, but gets a hard on for this POS for the same price. (For the chrono version.)

>Not as pretty
>Implying that any of those is pretty

>Dumb bastard
I'll concede this point.

>>17242261
I don't know, keeping Seiko on GS dials helps improving the perception of other Seikos.
People who care about the brand wouldn't buy a new no-name brand anyway, so that's still the least worst choice.

>>17242268
Maybe, but a lot of high-end buyers wouldn't buy a watch with seiko on the dial.

>>17242266
the aikon automatic chrono has a retail price of around 3k and the tissot is 42mm with a 39mm bezel en 46.5 lug to lug

>>17242476
>Do these hold value or go up what can i expect to lose when i want to trade it in for a new one eventually
It seems like they take a big depreciation hit when purchased new. So you buy a new one for msrp you won't be able to sell it for msrp or close to msrp. However if you buy used they have already taken that hit, you pay much less than msrp for a used one. When you go to sell one that you purchased used in 10 years or whatever you can probably get most of what you paid for it out of it. Very few watches actually appreciate in value. If you want to research it some you can look at recent sold listings on ebay for the same models and compare that to the price of the used models you are looking at buying.

>>17242513
Thank you for the pointers anon

>>17242273
Those people wouldn't buy it even if it wouldn't say Seiko on the dial, because it's japanese and not swiss.
