Seiko should be on the list for the first quartz watch but they don't have a single iconic recognizable design.

It depends what you consider iconic. There are such things as Captain Willard, Tuna, 44GS, SKX and many others. It's just a bit lower on the price point so the audience is a bit different as well.

Got a mesh bracelet for my IWC Pilot. I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not but my leather strap was wearing out
Huge fan. I think it goes really well. The bracelet is from Staib and it feels great. Really good quality from those guys

Nice, looks so simple and clean. What's the color of the dial exactly? Dark grey? Black?

>>17347670
I have a couple G-Shocks, several F-91W's and some other Casios.
The one that gets the most wrist time is the F-91W.
The two reasons are:
>it's light and slim
>it's perfectly durable for my daily activities
The G-Shocks, though cool, ended up being unnecessary.
I still have my G-Shocks and one of them is used fairly regularly for specific tasks.
However, for my daily use, the F-91W is absolutely perfect.
The only thing I'd suggest is getting after market straps.
That's what makes it so wearable.

>>17347725
It's the black dial

i actually did drop it once. i was playing it sitting down while video chatting with a family member while my phone was propped up. i leaned forward to adjust the phone and because les pauls are so ass heavy it just slid down the side of my leg and hit the ground right on the d string tuner. no damage but it did chip the lacquer in the corner though
now i never play it without a strap, even if i'm sitting

I was just trying to make something fun for all of us, instead of the endless cope, seethe, poorfag, french retardation, etc... of every thread.

I was going to post picrel as a final boss too.

Why do you all hate fun so much?

>>17348034
Ignore him you're funny.

What are the pleasing watches you've own based on tactility? The most pleasing to wind? The best bezel action? I like the feel of winding vostok movements, my vintage seamaster wing 5xx movement, st1901, and especially unitas movements. Dont really like seiko movements or the h50 in a khaki mechanical I tried on because they were to smooth and not clicky enough. Is the peseux 7001 better? Any other ones stand out. I've only really tried seiko dive bezels so I'm useless on that front but they dont seem bad.

I had a spare A158 lying around and sourced its bracelet for the F-91W.
Thankfully, these things are dirt cheap.
Whenever I have spare parts and modules, I assemble a Frankenstein Casio and make it a gift.

Also:
The holes on the F-91W are very small.
A standard spring bar will probably not fit.
The holes are designed for a pin that's held in place by friction.
The F-91W was not designed for spring bars at all.
You'll have to get the smaller spring bars to fit those little holes.

>>17347913
Clarification:
When I say "smaller" what I mean is "thinner."
The pins at the ends of the spring bars are a certain diameter.
Like a millimeter or something.
You'll need a spring bar with slightly smaller pins to fit the slightly smaller holes.
At least, that's what happened with my particular watch.

That or a 30mm bubbleback

Now that I got the W-218H I want to get the AE-1500

Looking for a bronze case watch that doesnt look like dogshit with patina.
> $500-$1000 (will go up a tad if it fits the categories better)
>Automatic or hand-wound
>42.5mm and under for case diameter
>13mm or thinner
>Tasteful dial with non ass branding (no bright colors)
>Round not square
>Simple crown (preferably screw down)
>10Bar water resistance and up

Help me decide on a poorfag cope watch, effay, I got a raise and of course I'm gonna spend it like a retard to impress men (ok also hopefully women but to be honest men, durr hurr durr I wear it to impress myself, I also smoke weed for the taste), the choices are:

AQ4020-54Y
SBGX263
SBGN011
SBGN029
LLD 36mm on a milanese

The AQ ticks almost all of the boxes but the stories about citizen support kinda scare me a little, and also I prefer the way the soiko second hands move, Also I already have a decent collection of vintage and modern soiko so a GS would better scratch the itch

The SBGX263 is the only other competitor to the AQ in the size department, but I don't like the absence of the independently adjustable hour hand, and the lack of a perpetual calendar is kinda cheesy too. Also the blank space in the bottom half of the dial I'm a little unsure if I like or don't. I will say it looks like the image I have in my head as the platonic ideal of an adult's watch so it has that going for it.

The SBGN011 scratches my itch for a blued hand on a soiko that has gone unscratched since I missed out on the blue spark back in the day. However it is a bit too large for me at 40mm. I can live without the perpetual calendar because it has the GMT and ind. adjust. hour hand.

The SBGN029 is kinda almost ok size wise, still a little big at 39mm but the lug to lug is with half a mm of the first two. I love the red GMT hand on the black dial and I very much love the 24 hour bezel, the lume also means a lot to me, but the white background on the date window kinda irritates me.

The LLD 36mm on a milanese is my concession to really really wanting a LLD but being too much of a wristlet for the real thing. I am only mentioning it to add some diversity to the selections. I do wonder if the milanese longines bracelet is better than what's on the japanese watches. I'm kinda done with mechanicals though, I've already got too many and this one doesn't even have a very interesting MVMT.

>>17348146
also the picrel is my current top contender I think, I am so damm close to just buying it right now but will I regret it? they say impulse purchases are the ones you least regret and agonizing is associated with regret

>>17348126
I guarantee they will skyrocket in price.

Since when is this Casio nonsense a thing?

>>17348192
It’s always been a thing

>Not having an Apple Watch Ultra as your outdoors/adventure watch

>>17348220
I ain't gay, tho.

>have a 6.2 inch wrist
>wrist is incredibly flat
>can get away with watches up to 42mm
It's strange, when it's up close it sort of looks like it could be too big, but once I move it further away from my face it looks totally proportionate, mirror shots look perfect too. My girlfriend has bigger wrists than me and the watches I get away with look stupid on her, regardless of viewing position.

My soiwrists have a silver lining it seems.

>>17348181
I forgot the other thing about the AQ4020-54Y is the crown area. Crown guards always make me feel a little unhappy, I've never owned a watch with a 3 o'clock crown and crown guards, and also the lack of the signed crown is a bit ghetto for a non-vintage-style watch.

The rest of the watch is pretty much perfection though.

>>17348228
Still a wristlet

>>17348234
You aren't wrong, but my mutant wrists let me cheat.

>>17348228
I am also a wristlet but with rounder wrists so I am not so lucky, the biggest I can go is 36 mm

>>17348228
>My girlfriend has bigger wrists than me
whales have wrists?

>>17348231
Plus the washi paper dial on that citizen really pops but I'm thinking it might be too attention getting. I always buy the most obnoxious neckties too, thinking it's subtle and then realize it was a mistake after. I do'nt want to make that mistake here. The SBGX263 is such a grown up watch. I feel like it will never go out of style. We're in the middle of a crazy textured dial fad at the moment.

On the other hand I like citizen's marketing videos on youtube, and I have a thing for the underdog, which they sort of are here.

>>17348231
For me the current chronomasters i want to pick up are the
AQ4080-52A

>>17348192
Since the 80's are you new to watches?

>>17348291
It's either I get a flat link from US or just get an OEM Omega leather strap with a deployant.

Bought a W-59 a few years back, would consider it the same as the 91. Cheap to boot so replaceable. Very practical for any kind of work. Change the strap to something fancy to trick people into thinking its worth more than a happy meal.

Which face should I go for?

Personally I’m more drawn to the red/blue and I think it’d match my wardrobe. On the other hand I’ve heard anons say it compares better online and in reality the straight blue is nice. Thoughts?

>>17347639
it makes me rage that luxury brands can't spend some time to do even stitching, this is so triggering. the price of the watch and the craftsmenship of the watch head itself is irrelevant, this is a product i would demand perfection from and it really triggers the fuck outta me. even patek and lange skip on the stitching. it wouldn't even take much more time to just evenly stitch to perfection but for some reason perfection is usually limited to the hands/dial/movement even $100k+ pateks have garbage stitching. yes im mad. i can get better stitching on etsy leather straps.

>>17348146
>I love the red GMT hand on the black dial
The dial is a deep blue.

>>17348146
Pick the one you like the look of most, you'll get used to the (lack of) functions after a month.

>>17348568
The stitching is meant to be like this i think. It looks fine if you ask me.

>>17348581
This watch reminds of an oceanus. I can't unsee it now.

>>17348146
I have the SBGX263G and love it. The dial and the hands are insanely well finished plus the case shape is beautiful. I 100% don't regret it, but I would love another one in a different color, I've seen a blue one that looks stunning too. The Citizens are nice but I think GS is better, just imo.

Which is VC's most iconic watch?

>>17348231
The seconds hand for some reason isn't finished properly on these citizens, on Grand Seiko the second hand has absolutely no rough edges. It's kinda annoying because otherwise the finishing in the citizen is almost 1:1 the same as GS.

>>17348588
The sloped stitching is intentional, yes, the space between the stitching is completely uneven however and also not symmetrical. It looks fine for you but for me, a raging retarded sperg, this is NOT acceptable.

>>17348596

I like the look of the 1st gen co-axial aqua terra and was thinking of picking one up. I heard the first gen movements had some problems with them. Am I going to run into any problems picking one up, or should I just settle for a newer one?

I want a watch under $2000 for daily use. I'm a tech guy.

Any opinions on these?:
- Hamilton panda chrono
- Marathon GSAR

Should I just save for a speed master?

>>17348896
>Marathon GSAR
These are gonna be on sale for Black Friday, not that that answers your question. If you want a Speedmaster and these are just a compromise just save more

"Suggest a watch for me."
> Your budget
8-13k
> Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Not sure
> Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Automatic
> Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Dunno
> Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Probably bracelet but I could take a deployant
> Wrist size or desired watch size
36mm-38mm

>>17348834
I don't understand the appeal of GMT watches. They are generally more expensive, the 4th hand clutters the look and the complication is useless. Just remember to add or subtract a few hours from the current time? How is that difficult? Unlike a dive watch, it's not some life saving function that should be instantly legible. And the difference between true and untrue GMT is laughable

>>17348924
>life saving function
Stop LARPing

>>17348924
the only real use is if you spend more than 24h underground and you need to know if it's day or night

>>17348914
get a tupoor black bay and a cartier tank solo

>>17348924
>I don't understand the appeal of GMT watches
If you're a long-distance pilot you get into the habit of thinking about time in terms of GMT offset.
For everyone else, though, it's just pilot larping. No different than wearing a Navitimer.

Common excuses for """needing""" a GMT watch:
>b-b-but I go on vacation to other timezones. I can't stop my watch to change the time, I'll lose accuracy!
>b-b-but I have relatives in other timezones. I need to know what time it is for Mee-maw and Pop-pop!

>>17348904
I heard marathon has QC issues and the tubes just fall off, is does that track?

>>17348945
People should stop coping and just admit they get stuff because it looks nice, or they like the complication, or even just for attention. But this hobby is full of pretentious fags, nobody is in it for the "function" otherwise everyone would do what people in those roles actually do and get a digital watch that does all of those things better for a tenth of the cost with incredible durability. Watch nerds are fags

>>17348945
Too many words

>>17348961
Good post

>>17348961
True, is people actually got watches for the appropriate occasions they normally do, then Divers and GMTs would not be sold at all, and everyone would just get mechanicals unless provided with a company watch for very specific jobs

>>17348948
It's possible but I've never heard anything about that

>>17347717
I need these. Where can I find them anon, they'd make great Christmas gifts.

been waiting two weeks for a new hirsch strap to arrive. getting real fed up.

>>17347916
Wish I fucking preordered this. Now it will come back in 2023 and there are no other brands doing an affordable no-date tonneau case with guilloche. FUCK. I don't even give a SHIT about other dress watches.

>>17348882
man FP Journe is pure sex

>>17348945
Ya ots just adds to the flex because it implies that you travel a lot. Also who needs the whole shebang just put the independent hour hand on a regular 3 hander lmao

I can see that, but the blue from the snxs77 is just too good to pass up

>>17348932
Any mechanical watch is a LARP one way or another. At least the diving bezel was a life-saving function and now can be used to set reminders

>>17348961
Passing on a solid mechanical to your child when you die is based.
Throwing away an F-91W when you die is cringe.
I say this as a person with only Casio digitals.
In terms of affordable accuracy, you're right.
This is why I have so many Casio digitals.
But I'm not kidding myself about my little collection.
I'm saving up for a solid mechanical so that I have something to pass on.
I want to give something worth inheriting.
And I don't care what I'm called for that.

>>17349124
Yes you're right mechanical watches are jewelry. And that's fine. They're cool. I own some. But people claiming they buy it coz it's a diver or coz they travel (once a year lol) are larping

>>17348961
The main advantage of a mechanical watch now is that it looks and feels nice. """Tool""" mechanical watch is an oxymoron in 99.9% of cases. Dive watches look nice though because of the bezel and proportions. Still most project managers buy them for desk dive LARPing

>>17347644
I’ve heard these have an original gas escape valve ring lock system, can you confirm?

>>17349127
I generally agree with this.
It's why I'm only interested in specific watches.
Most people never use the complications or the durability of the watches.
This is why my daily is an F-91W.
It's truly all I need.
Even still, I would like a nicer watch for when I want to "dress up" a bit.
And if one is going to save up for a nicer watch, may as well go all the way.
Well, that's my thinking anyhow.

>>17349132
>dive watches look nice though because of the bezel and proportions

Prove me wrong lady's dress watch wearing Soiko fan wristlet

>>17349155
I think they believe it, but everyone that buys a diver buys a ripoff "homage" of the submariner. My modded Seiko looks like a ripoff submariner too. Unique looking divers like seiko Padi's or other unique designs get no love. People want the sub coz it's iconic and a status symbol, and then coz they can't afford it they cope with homages and think they like divers. Nah, they like the submariner

If you contributed... thanks a ton!

>>17349181
You will never be a woman.

>>17349174
That's exactly what I'm saying retard. Nobody mods their watches to look like those divers, they mod their divers to look like submariner. They buy homages to the submariner. They buy replica submariners. They overpay for submariners. They don't like dive watches, they like subs. Try to read and understand before you make a fool of yourself.

>>17349196
Who's nobody? Are they in the room with you?

>>17349205
Pedantic faggot. Thanks for conceding the point

>>17347707

>>17349220
Are you going to dive?

>>17349244
If you're doing something that needs one of this big g-shocks, then yeah. If you're going to wear it around town where you don't need any of the features you will look like a fag with a giant watch. This is great for normal use, get the bigger watch if you need the features. Don't just mindlessly consoom, save your $$ for the upcoming recession

>>17345496
I love the moonswatch and have no ragrets. I like that I can wear it in lieu of my more expensive watches and not gaf if it gets dinged, because it was only 250$

>>17349294
it'd just be for the gym, where I don't mind looking like a fag with a giant watch, but not too giant of a watch, thus picrel

>>17349326
What will the bigger g shock do that a square won't? For the gym the apple watch is unironically good. It's sensors are incredible, idk if g shock makes anything like that, if they do that'd be interesting. Only issue is all these apps undoubtedly share your data with insurance companies

>>17349326
>>17349331
Check out the GBD200UU-9 for the gym, just looked it up. Pretty sick and not that $$

>>17347670
Does there exist a g shock with less autism text and maybe a bigger display? Like, why the fuck do niggas need to see the words ELECTRO LUMINESCENT BACKLIGHT whenever they check the time?

>>17349331
It's purely aesthetic. I want a big watch but not a good-mornings-sirs tier rear projection TV on my 6.5 inch wrist

>>17349338
I don't get your reference. Care to explain? The square g shocks are the most aesthetic anyway.

>>17349337
I'd but I'd prefer less branding and marketing too. The PROTECTION is what really gets me lmao

>>17349337
it looks technical, like a piece of professional equipment, which fits with the watch's general aesthetic.
the B5600 line is less crowded visually. display is the same size though. and don't be fooled by the "bluetooth": the watch also has radio control. Bluetooth is optional.

>>17349359
>it looks technical, like a piece of professional equipment

it doesn't matter what watch archie hates, he doesn't own any of them anymore

Did you see the video where "his" car is getting repossessed?

is archie poorfag now?

>>17349463
Always was, anon. Always was.

>>17349463
he always was. now he's poor and without any watches

It's a poorfag watch but I like it

>>17349486
I was thinking about buying on of those but i gave it a cheeky sniff in the store and it smelled like ham left on the dashboard of a car in the sun

>>17349462
He's fighting his insurance company and he's losing. Sad.

>>17349404
is the bezel bidirectional?

A watch that has barely been around for 20 years is not iconic, sorry

I've fallen inlove with this. Is this a waste of $1000?

>>17349583
There are much worse seikos you could spend $1000 on
You know you can buy an entry level quarz grand seiko from japan right now for just a few hundred more? Last time i looked on chrono24 i saw one for $1,200

>>17349583
Alternatively spend more and have it say Grand Seiko. If you're looking for the snowflake aesthetic, that presage looks practically the same except it has no power reserve which doesn't really make the Grand Seiko snowflake look any prettier. t. its on my wrist right now
Or buy an older Seiko Spirit which has a similar aesthetic but I don't think you'll find any blued second hands or pretty date windows

>>17349404
Looks beautiful, anon. Thanks for the in-person shot. The back looks great, I’d definitely consider that my third choice.

>>17349269
It’s not off the table, my stepdad is into it and about to retire

I can see it but 8000 is a bit too much for me for IWC, I'd rather get something else at that point, like a Mark XX and something else

>>17349674
ew

Guys, I originally thought I wanted a Rolex because thats all I knew aside from other more expensive brands. But now I’m honestly thinking Tudor because in my mind they have a similar aesthetic but it’s more practical, in terms of looks, price and attainability. I also want something I can just throw on every day and not worry about it. I always have an expensive flashy car so I don’t want to flex even harder. Would I regret getting Tudor?

>>17349746
If you de plan on getting a tudor at least don't get one with the nasty ass faux patina

>>17349746
It depends on what tudor and why you want it
If you want a dependable quality tool watch then tudor makes some great options
If you want something that's almost a rolex but cheaper then just save up for a rolex

>>17349753
I was thinking black bay pro, or maybe the ranger. Hoping to see them in person though. Not familiar with the ones that have a faux patina.

>>17349755
Well, I think I only wanted Rolex just because it was a recognizable quality watch. So overall I want a watch that has some heritage to the brand and is know for their quality and doesn’t make cheap watches. Besides that I want a watch that watch people respect. Don’t really care about what people who don’t know watches think.
It’s not about saving up either. I have 6 figures liquid and just made 20k on a deal today. Im just trying to avoid lifestyle creep with expensive spending because that’s always at odds with other financial goals like starting a business or just being able to retire early.

I dont own a watch. Though i want one i can wear outside and run around with like polo sports shoes, g shock? Is there something more “adult” or “high class”?

Im not into the “suite and tie formal look” by the way ..

>>17349746
I knew about movado but again, im getting into watched. Just looked up tudor, and i like it better than the rolex. But yeah. Get a tudor.

>>17349674
You could always get those neckbeard watches/fashion and make it look cool like the polo sport shoes ps100. Aha..

>>17349766
Yeah you have the right idea, close this thread now and never look at it again, its incredibly mentally ill and unhelpful.
Try it on in person, gwt something you like, enjoy

>>17349158
Get it, so far i like the tudors, just learned about it from the anon below.

So far tudors look the best.

>>17349766
>Not familiar with the ones that have a faux patina.
Its the color they use to make the watch give a more aged look. I personally dislike it but I guess if you're not particularly into watches that much just visit a jeweler and get whichever one you think looks cool irl

>>17347882
>Lizard people

>>17349158
I love it. It is definitely a thicc watch. I have both the stainless band and the leather one; I can't determine what I like more

Cheap, and not luxury watches are cool too

Hey guys, my dad recently gave me a box of his old watches from the 90's that he doesn't wear anymore. One of them fit my wrist pretty well face-size wise but the velcro strap is half an inch too long for my wrist and the extra strap-length flops to the side when I put it on. What sort of strap do you think would fit underneath these rollers besides some other thin, velcro strap? I'm sure this is a trivial answer but I don't know much about watches, I only owned one before today. I read the guides in the OP, but I'm concerned a NATO strap or something like that would be too thick to fit under it. Pic is the watch in question.

Get a single pass nato strap off ebay or cheapest nato straps or wherever, look up a video on how to put the strap on correctly.

>>17349886
Cool watch btw post a picture of the front

>>17348423
This is correct

>>17349890
>>17349892
Thanks, I'll check those out and try that. Won't be that much of a loss if it doesn't fit. I still need to go out and buy the battery for it. Here's the front of it.

>>17349900
Thats a fantastic watch anon, those are very collectable, they were used in the space program at one point, take good care of it and wear it.

>>17349900
You actually rotate the bezel where the line says mode with an arrow to use the different functions of the watch iirc very cool mechanism that i wish was used more often
If you are going to change the battery yourself you might need to short the battery against a pad inside whith a pair of tweezers or something to reset the movement when you put the new battery in.
See 6:00 in this vidoe for more information. Just so you don't think its broken when you put the new battery in

>inb4 roasted for reddit taste

>>17349919
>>17349909
Thanks anon, I tried it out and the bezel does rotate which is pretty cool. I appreciate the information about battery replacement as well, I'll watch the video and see if I can find a copy of the owner's manual online. Luckily Seiko's website has a pdf of all its models and their matching battery number so I don't have to hunt that down.

>>17349943
Are you bored of it, or do you need the cash, or are you thinking of upgrading?

>>17348500
go for a GA-B2100 with solar and bluetooth. all the ruggedness of classic g-shock without the chunkiness.

>>17349954
That thing is ugly tho

>>17349956
it's the best looking gshock in ages

>>17349943
idk the only one that can answer that is you
if you like it then keep it
if you don't like it ask yourself why you don't like it and sell it

>>17349933
That is the point. Watch people are awful and sticky and doing shit only for watch people

>>17349889
Rolex and Cartier are the watches for people with nothing to prove, and those who want to LARP as such people

>>17349746
Yes. If you want something inexpensive get a $10-50 casio you can throw into a woodchipper and not give a shit about. No one will actually think you're poor but everyone will also know you're not flexing poorly. Wear a Tudor and everyone will think you're poor- you saved your pennies for a year for that shitter and it's the biggest most exciting thing

>>17349986
>>17349986
>>17349986

>>17349983
The only person I know personally who has a tudor has a couple of high end european SUVs, a very nice brownstone in a very expensive neighborhood, and 3 kids in expensive, exclusive private schools, also his wife doesn't work but just sits around and radiates beauty. I rather doubt he saved up for a year for his tudor.

>>17349964
Yes it's the prettiest turd. The only good looking g-shocks are the square models, and then the top of the line model just coz it's so functional it justifies how it looks

>>17347639
Fuck this white gold Credor just showed up yum yum yum, what do people think for $8k?

>>17349994
probably doesn't want to be associated with rolex and the stigma of their owners being complete douchebags.

>>17350020
I find credors to be very strange, intriguing for that reason but aesthetically too strange to consider buying

I think I heard someone say they're made for japanese tastes with no consideration for any other market, and that may explain it
