Must have a green theme, watch face

I met him on 4chan /soc/ and he's been amazing. We've been dating for 1 year and I can't stay away from him, we talk everyday and I want to buy him a watch for Christmas this year.

Thanks again, I wish you all good luck in finding a partner that can suit all your needs.

Pic related is the watch I desire the most. I have the money to buy it but not the income to wear it whilst not larping, unfortunately.

>>17359634
Why do you care? Just buy it if you like it and can afford it.

Help me decide what diver I should get for my collection. I currently only have a Speedmaster Moonwatch 3861. I'm considering either a Seiko 62mas SPB143, a Tudor BB58, or save up for a Rolex Submariner. It might be boring but which one of these do you think goes well with my Speedy?

>>17359699
I'd get the BB58 personally. Maybe a blue one so you don't have two black dialed watches. Ultimately you should just get whichever watch you want most.

>>17359706
I just have a thing for black dial watches. Feels like it fits better with everything else I wear. I looked into the blue BB58 and it's so much cheaper than Black for some reason. I've also thought about saving up and getting a sub just to get the Rolex out of the way. Sometimes the Seiko SPB143 looks so good and it's cheap compared to the other two.

Yeah, this semen slurping hobby just isn't for me anymore lads

it is completely pointless to wear any watch other than a quality replica rolex datejust. all of you look ridiculous with your NATO straps and giant bezels, and you check the time more frequently on your phone anyway

the only exception to this rule occurs when you have enough social clout that quietly switching to a gold day-date doesn't surprise people

>>17359725
>tudor pelagos 39
Funny thing about it is that it's actually 40mm in diameter to the edge of the bezel. It's just to the edge of the case that it's 39mm.

Why doesn't Omega make more midsize seamasters lads?

>>17359736
Because nobody bought the shitty half assed ones they made last generation with the shitty placed date windows

>>17359536
I got that exact one because the yen is extremely cheap; I love it. I got it from Sakura watches; tanaka-san is a nigger for charging DHL prices then shipping it UPS but it showed up safely anyway.
Don't be a retard and magnetize it like I did in the first week of owning it

>>17359634
What kind of income do you feels justify that watch? I’m not sure if meowch it even costs.

I have a tangentially similar situation where actually I make pretty good money but I everyone around me doesn’t spend money on luxury items. So it just feels weird when people that are older than you think it’s strange you spend so much.

i don't have a diver, at the moment i just have a couple of g-shocks and a seiko snzg that is missing probably somewhere in my house
i like the tuna as well but probably would rather get something that fuckhueg after a more normal diver

I have a 20 year old $200 Seiko automatic that no longer works, is it worth it to service or at this price point does it make more sense to just get a new watch? I've never had to have a watch serviced before.
Bonus complication: it was a gift from an ex gf and I still feel a knot in my stomach when I look at it, maybe I should just sell it anyway.

I don't know anything about watches, but I'm looking for a Christmas present for a good friend of mine. He likes the 70s style and has been talking about wanting a watch. I went through the links in the OP but didn't find exactly what I'm looking for. Any specific suggestions? I thought the Soviet watches looked nice myself but if shipping from Ukraine is anything like from Russia, I'd be afraid it wouldn't come by Christmas time. Thanks in advance lads.

No, i'm still stuck with the 8 ones i have, the financial situation is not looking favourable to buy any more soon.

Just the 62GS as my most recent watch. Maybe when the right example comes up I'll try and grab a polerouter, but who knows.

>>17359887
Personally i don't like the case shape but otherwise this is a solid watch. Take your time and look around.

>>17359888

You might be a bit late for shipping from Russia, have you tried finding a used one somewhere nearer to where you live?

Just get one of the new seiko 5 sports models, it will last another 15 years or longer and then you can either toss it or buy a new movement for $30 and pay someone to replace the old one.
Not really worth keeping the old one unless you have some sentimental attachment to it

>>17360064
no because fags that know nothing about watches dont know tudor & rolex are connected. The fags that will spot a tudor will usually respect it.

Don't buy anyone a watch. Watches are super personal and trying to buy someone that is rife with all sorts of problems. They'll feel obligated to wear it out of guilt, which is garbage. We can recommend something, you show it to him first, then decide what he thinks

Hm, titanium, neat. Might be worth repairing after all if it isn't too broken.

>>17360428
Honestly I know fuck-all about watches, I just started getting into them this week. I take it titanium is a good thing?

>>17360433
It's more expensive than steel so it's used less often. It's also much lighter and some types have better scratch resistance.

>>17360013
Not much luck, it doesn't have to be soviet, those just stood out to me as being clearly vintage/vintage inspired.

You’re in luck, the Seiko Dolce sacm171 was $230, almost new condition on eBay.

The other one was bought in Japan in the 70s, don’t really know what it is or what it’s worth.

>>17360439
Oh and I meant to ask, can I just take it to any watch repair place or should I send it to Seiko? Totally new to this.

>>17360461
Any decent watch repair place should be able to repair them. Find one and ask them if they can have a look and tell you what is wrong and how much it would take to fix it.

>>17360472
Thanks m8

How does the date feature work on watches? Does it just always know how many days of each month there is? Or do you have to reset it?

>>17360528
On most mechanicals it just does 31 every month so you have to set it every few months. There are annual calendars that can account for all the days except February 29th on the leap year, and there are perpetual calendars who can get that right as well.

>>17360455
Looking at it again are you sure it's an automatic? I'm suspecting it's a quartz and maybe all it needs is a new battery? Can you read any numbers from the watch so we can find the model online?

>>17360539
Here's the back, the manual (assuming it's the correct manual) says it's a "analog quartz watch with an Automatic Generating System"

>>17360204
keep in mind you probably can't hand-wind those, kinda annoying imo

>>17360548

What sort of income do I need to comfortably afford an entry level Rolex model around 10k?

Also don’t want to appear larping even if I have some money.

>>17360557
Six figures

It is 25% from MSRP from an authorized dealer. Still big money for me but I absolutely love the look, but this would be my first and probably only watch for some time. Should I?

>>17359699
>>17359710
Tbh, I'd just go try them on. Might as well buy them in person if it's not too much more money too. Not sure if your financial situation (maybe a rolex or tudor is just a casual throwaway purchase for you - no hate but it might make a difference), but a luxury watch is usually somewhat of a big purchase so I'd try and get the most out of the experience. Always feels more special when you buy it in person and you really know when a watch is for you when you try it on. To answer your question and not be a useless shitter, I'd either second the pelagos 39 or do the bb58. But a sub is a sub and if that is really what you want I'd get that. For seiko I kind of like that new slim turtle, but havent tried it on. The spb143 looks sweet but it's a bit chunky for its size and I find that thinner watches look and feel better on me personally

What is up with SBGX263, SBGX261, and AQ4020-54Y all having flat crystals? Are there any normal size GS or Citizen that actually have this extremely basic feature that even a lot of cheap shitters come with nowadays?

>just buy a 48mm joke watch
No

>>17360560
Pic related

>>17360552
Ah it's a Kinetic! It has a rotor that charges the capacitor that then powers the watch. They go empty fast are known to fail quickly, especially if the watch has been sitting for some time. You should try wearing the watch for a day to try and generate some electricity to see if the capacitor is still working or not. If not it's usually not worth repairing, i don't know if someone would even know how to and be willing to repair it.

>>17360004
You have a nice taste in watches.

>>17360564
>extremely basic feature
I usually prefer a flat crystal to a domed or bubble one, and it's not 'basic', it's more of a design choice.

>>17359819
Big sundials are kino. Stick to undersized peseux 7001 and unitas 6498 sundials since watches now are either too big or too small for these movements, respectively

>>17360559
Maybe if they're making like $300k+ because I make about $140k and I wouldn't wear a $10k watch, "six figures" isn't as much money as you think if you're an adult with adult responsibilities

>>17360548
Oh its one of those watches
Cool litte things
Seiko still sells some as seiko kinetic
It probably just needs a new rechargeable battery, i dont know how hard the specific cells it needs are to source or replace but if you search around some you can find people talking about it online. Assuming the battery is still made you can probably buy one for like $10 and then pay any jeweler $12 to replace it.

>>17360565
I like it. Looks like an old 60s diver
If you don't care about the warranty and you probably dont need it you might be able to save some money buying on jomashop. You can also probably talk the AD into giving you another 10% off if you are up to it.

>>17360567
>>17360575
Interesting, thank you for helping me anons. That's a bummer, it sounds almost like a disposable watch, but on the flipside if I can just change a battery that'd be awesome. I called for an estimate for an automatic and got $150, I'll call back and ask about kinetics. I tried shaking it for a minute, didn't budge. I'll wear it today and report back this evening.

>>17360570
I'm not asking for domed/bubble crystals, those would look stupid on that kind of watch. There is a big difference between a slight curve to avoid that harsh glare that a flat crystal gives you, and a ridiculous neo-vintage bubble. Like what they do on literally all their larger watches (picrel), what's wrong with this? The only answer is they think the customer won't spend an extra $50 or whatever it would cost to make the crystal not look cheap.

>>17360580
Alright new estimate, the guy said if it's kinetic and not holding a charge it probably just needs a new capacitor and that'd be about $80-100 and take a week to order and get installed. Now I just need to decide whether the juice is worth the squeeze. Are kinetics considered to be inferior watches? I think I'll do it anyway.
Thanks again anons.

>>17360572
What’s your comfy price range for a watch?

>>17360575
>a new rechargeable battery
It doesn't have a battery, it has a capacitor. It's old tech and it wasn't ready yet when they made it. Now with better solar and batteries it's obsolete.

>>17360593
>Are kinetics considered to be inferior watches?
It was new tech at the time, combining the automatic charging from mechanical watches with quartz accuracy, but the capacitors weren't good enough yet and they went empty quickly if you weren't wearing the watch constantly, and after some time they would get 'weak' and 'tired' and would hold less and less charge.

>>17360593
Meh, still kind of expensive

>>17360581
Me, my SBGA211G. Flat crystal. Sleek, demands respect. Powerful.
You, with a blueballed-looking, obese and swollen "curved" (sounds gay) crystal.
The sun shines, I reflect it into your eyes. The powerful beam of light blinds you momentarily, snowblinded. My powerful FLAT based crystal destroys your ego in an instant.
You look at your watch, its curve makes your beam of light look weird and cringe. Flaccid. You don't even know how to aim it properly. You realize your mistake, and cry.

This is why I exclusively own watches with flat crystals.

>>17360594
"Comfy" as in below the cutoff for "this doesn't feel irresponsible"? $500

"Comfy" as in below the cutoff for people I know IRL looking at me the way middle class people look at poor people wearing clothes with big logos of italian designers spammed all over them in big letters? I guess about $2k. I could probably go up to $3500 and wear that in front of dates or casual acquaintances without feeling incredibly self conscious but if I wore a $3500 watch to work, colleagues and my boss would definitely think less of me and if I wore that in front of family they'd think I was hanging out with the wrong crowd.

I am after a watch that will tell me the high and low tides. I have looked at the Timex tide watch and I'm just not a fan aesthetically. I've also looked at the G-Shock glide and I've already got a gshock. I'm struggling to find any other choices. Any one know of tide watches?

Yeah you should look at the SGBA211G, it has a lovely subtly curved (in a heterosexual erotic way) crystal.
Love this watch especially for this particular feature. It is quite subtle though, only wristwatch connoisseurs are able to see this smooth curve.

>>17360679
Reread my post, I already mentioned how they put it on their oversize practical joke watches, just not anything normal sized, at least as far as I can tell

>>17360684
Well if you're a woman, STGF359. If not, what size are you looking for? Most men's watches lug to lug will be very close to 48mm

>he got length lug-to-lug mixed up with case diameter

>>17360686

I've often wondered why watch reviewers don't test water resistance as well. Pretty easy to take it somewhere and would put to rest some of the water resistance autism. I suspect that most watches will over perform since I dont see the gaskets that use being vastly different between watches in the same brand. I bet it more has to do with how rigorous the quality control is for particular models rather than the watch itself (dive watches with crazy depth ratings and dress chronos aside. I could see most 30, 50 and 100m watches doing much better than "survive hand washing " etc. I also wonder how prolific this is in the industry and if the old maxims on wr are obsolete

You’re kidding right? Most normies don’t know shit about watches.unless it’s a Rolex they’d never know the price. Take a Rolex (any model) and a Patek phillipe nautilus too ok a mall or public place and ask people which one they’d rather have, it will be overwhelmingly skewed to Rolex.

>>17360768
Because a watch that fails a water resistance test is now ruined if you don't immediately pay a watchmaker $200+ to take it apart and clean dry and reoil it. If its ruined they can't immediately flip it on ebay after they post the review video

>>17359931
i think rich people mostly wear apple watches, all this niche watch shit is for fruits and/or whoremongers desu, anyway the stainless steel "vintage style" casio watches are lowkey making a solid comeback

>>17360900

>>17360762
Neat, I've never seen something like that before.

This is a 37mm what does that say about my wrist?

this neat little guy came in the mail today; this will be my first foray into DIY watch servicing. The dial and hands look great but it's hard to see with the rough crystal. Case could use some work and I'm just hoping I don't fuck up the movement. I've done disassembly now I'm waiting for the ultrasonic cleaner and cleaning solution to arrive.
It's marked sindaco on the back and the dial is marked suisse de lux but I can't find any info on either name. The movement is the exact same as this: https://17jewels.info/movements/b/brac/brac-2003/
So far so good. wish me luck.

>>17361114
Cringe faggot noone cares didnt even read all that shit. Just fuck off back to your subreddit if you cant afford a rolex just say so. Its obvious anyway. Never post here ever again.

>>17361108
That you're a wrist-let?

>>17361114
You make it obvious that you got zero bitches

>>17361114
Case looks fine aside from needing cleaning to be honest.

>>17361114
You touch on the toipic of vintage watches but you never touched a girls vagina irl. Thats just sad dude.

My brother wants to get a watch and it seems he fancies the Tissot Gentleman. What are other alternatives to it? The Longines Conquest looks exactly like it, so I guess that's one. Would also love other suggestions under the ~$1k mark. Thanks lads

>>17361131
The plating is worn off in some places; I'm not sure exactly what the substrate underneath is. It would do best to be gold plated again but I'm not going to be fucked to learn plating just yet. Will probably just clean/polish it

What does /wt/ think about the oris aquis? Thinking of maybe picking up the green one.

>>17360886
Ok but malls are still a thing where you live, so I think we just live in different realities.Sampling from my immediate circle of close family and people I see on a regular basis, here's a full account of the watches they wear daily, nothing left out because the number of shitters is actually negligible. I am only counting one watch per person, the most commonly worn watch in their rotations:

>apple watch
>another apple watch (different person)
>yet another apple watch (also different person)
>yet ANOTHER apple watch
>a hamilton khaki
>a GP world timer
>a rolex day-date
>an actual omega speedmaster
>a seiko 5
>a seiko skx (different person)
>a cartier tank
>a nomos orion
>a VC patrimony
>a tag aquaracer quartz lady's

Or to summarize:
4 apple watches, 1 high tier luxury, 7 mid tier luxury, 4 shitters. Not a whole lot of rolex either. I am leaving out the watch of one person who is a high functioning autisticus extremus, most of the other people on this list would not identify as a "watch person" but nonetheless does give a shit (like they might visit hodinkee every so often or browse the local watch boutiques when on vacation). The who I would guess doesn't really care about watches at all is the tag owner, I would bet good money she bought it because she "heard tag was good" then again my relationship with her is one of polite tolerance as I am forced to see her through a mutual, the rest of these people, except 3 of the apple watch owners, care enough about watches to meet your admittedly rather lax criterion of "knowing that PP exists" which I'm pretty sure anyone with a passing familiarity with current hip hop music would probably pass

>>17361181
Oh sorry the "actual" was when I had a swatch omega on the list but decided to cull it when I switched to the "primary watch" rule

>>17361179
Watch some videos about the issues with the inhouse movement version. The minute hand jumps around when you push the stem back in unless you fiddle with it the right way.
Otherwise its a nice watch but you should know about the issue going in.

You know there are still malls in large metro areas that are wealthy, right?

>she wears a watch on the left wrist
>he wears his watch on his right wrist
what are other watch red flags?

>>17361108
I wish I had smaller wrists desu
37m looks like girls watches on my wrists

>>17361198
Sure but they certainly aren't any kind of social nexus like they might have been 30 years ago. In the US at least, outside of special cases like the Hudson Yards complex, most malls are hanging on for dear life while their owners desperately shop for ways to not lose a shitload of money on them (like converting them into apartment complexes or logistics centers).

Anyone here got a Moonswatch? Haven't really seen one in person yet, always out of stock. How bad is the quality?

>>17361216
I've seen one in person. They look like a toy omega, which is what they are. It's an omega-shaped swatch, not an omega for the price of a swatch.

if you want a 62mas, get the best modern version, the SLA017. Otherwise just get the BB58

>>17361215
I know what you mean and agree in general but there are a couple malls in my area that are really still crowded. Not exactly the hangout spot but they are close to urban centers on in them. They have restaurants mixed in or near by and some of them are outdoor sort of things. So they have evolved but still are there

>>17361108
>when you skip leg decade
Head over to /fit/ my fren

Went in the closet and found the PADI Turtle I stopped wearing to make room for the 62 mas. This really was a nice watch. Sure they sell it at Macy’s but I really like the colorful dial and unique shape

>>17361286
>this nibba wears two watches
Explain yourself.

What's an appropriate watch to wear if I am a NEET who lives at home and spends virtually no money and wears ten year old clothes and drives a 20 year old econobox but I have $600k in my portfolio? Serious question, I want to represent myself genuinely.

He's a singer/songwriter who absolutely slays on his Fender Stratocaster (although he switched to playing different guitars later in his career) and was very popular in the 2000s and early 2010s. He is known for being funny and dating high profile women and has a love of watches. He famously said that if he was getting laid in high school he never would've bothered getting good at guitar.

>>17359766
>>17359766
They were not worth their price back when they were new. Nowadays, they're shitty relics and maintenance is time-limited by the available supply of spare movements and parts that are no longer made. They are both clunky old movements and destined to become increasingly troublesome and costly to repair for no good reason. If you want soviet or russian shitters, buy a Vostok. It's cheaper and will remain available far longer.

>>17361349
Autism and retardation, that's the context.

>>17361358
Please show me yhe water free pressure testing apparatus.
Because all the ones i have seen use water
Also im pretty sure most watch repair dudes dont bother to test water resistance after service because they don't want to deal with the hassle if there are issues. They probably only will do it for dive watches and only if you ask.

>>17361358

which seiko watch of these two is more iconic? 62mas or turtle

>>17361382
Ah, that pretty disappointing. Sorry for the snark I just cant believe that's how they do it lol. I still think you could get a close approx with compressed co2 since that's widely available. You'd just need a test chamber, a gas cylinder and a regulator. Brb checking my sodastream cylinder psi and filing a patent for a ndt watch pressure tester

Yes in store, they don't even bother to differentiate between cheap casios in their inventory system they all just use some generic "digital watch" upc code so they don't sell them online as a first party on their website

Should I?

What do you autist think about the cartier santos?

>>17361790
great for women

>>17361714
that's why I was asking, the Tissot Gentleman is about $800, so I don't really get why you're looking for something else if it's already in budget

>>17361790
I almost bought one this summer but my AD called me for a Rolex Explorer.
I love the design of the Santos but I also think it's weird as fuck. Have you seen how many screws there are on this watch?

>>17361548
Not a collectable, but it is a nice watch.

>>17361836
I prefer the Dumont tbqh

>>17361548
If you want a collectable Seiko you can get way better value in the vintage market. You can get a vintage Grand Seiko for that money already.

>>17361179
Trash watch. Literally, made of trash. They even made a special edition where the trash is on the dial

I got this in Japan a month ago. Weak yen made it irresistible. It goes well with the holidays too, I think.

>>17361974
Looks solid.

>>17361974
Ah the Godzilla. A bold choice, enjoy wearing it.

>>17361191
Pretty much all watches that I've owned (I've lost count) have exhibited this behavior to a greater or lesser degree, the worst offender was/is a 1960s seiko lord marvel that was about as bad as the oris jumping like 3-5 minutes if you skip the "crown wiggle" technique, but even new watches do this very slightly. I'm kinda surprised that a guy who runs a watch youtube channel and calls himself an "engineer wannabe" has never run into this before.

I'm not saying it should do that to such an extreme degree on a brand new, ostensibly not-cheap watch, just questioning this guy's experience with watches, considering I barely even consider myself a "watch guy" and I have a ton of experience with this.

Tissot autist here, got my grail shitter and after servicing it finally seems to be working. Some monkey had messed with it and everything was gummed up with oil but it seems good now (hopefully). Will post some pics from when I took it apart if anyone gives a shit. It's powered by the very old in-house Tissot 2031 movement with the most retarded (but fun) setting method out there.

>>17362044
Noone cares. You wear literal garbage on your wrist.

>>17362044
Looks cool.

>>17362044
what a pathetic loser lol

>>17362048
Yes. I exclusively wear and repair weird old shitters. That's the whole appeal in this hobby for me.

Thanks Anon. Here's another thing I repaired a while ago if you're into this style of thing.
>>17362052
No shit, I collect watches lol.

>>17362044
well, how do you set it?

>>17362056
Not my video, but it shows off pretty well how it works. I own and have serviced two 2030 powered Seastars which also set the same way but with a much stiffer crown (pic rel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_1p29K23FA

why the fuck would you ever admit that to anyone autismo poorfag

>>17362060
I'm kind of annoyed at how much this appeals to me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTpzSrRTtYA
lol this fucking piece of shit

>>17362044
Nice

>>17362082
It's super inconvenient for setting the time but its mad fun and very satisfying to fuck around with and watch the seconds hand twirl around the dial. These movements have a super tiny stepper motor you can hear whirring away with a super rapid ticking sound when you do it too which is really neat IMO. The setting method for the hour is really cool as well if you travel a lot and need to change timezones quickly as it jumps in hour intervals that you cant fuck up if the hands are aligned correctly.

That said, I probably have autism for being this fascinated with how these weird turds work but whatever lol. Here's a pic of a super bad example I bought to harvest parts from a while ago. Stepper motor can be seen on the right in pic related connected to the gear with the black corrosion all over it.

If you want one, some old Buler and Lanco watches were fitted with 2030 and 2031 movements - Check eBay and you might get lucky and find a badly listed one for around 20 - 30 quid - Most Tissot examples are Seastars from the 70's and are currently bringing 50+ in non-running condition but you can find a nice one around 100 - 120 if you're patient. Sorry for the tl;dr response btw.

>>17362055
Looks so much better than the PRX

>>17362071
At least he isn't an ESL monkey rofl

>>17362116
As someone who owns a PRX as well, I think they both have their strengths and weaknesses. The Seastar has much nicer dial finishing IMO (mine was water damaged when I got it, so it's a bad example), but the PRX has a nicer quality of finishing on the case and bracelet. The Seastar is from the 70's though, so I suppose this is really a matter of preference of modern vs vintage.

One thing the Seastar absolutely mogs the PRX with is the clasp though - The PRX has a butterfly clasp with no true microadjustment outside of half-links, where the Seastar has a traditional clasp with a lot of room for microadjustment. Although I don't struggle getting a fit, why they changed this specific aspect of the watch is beyond me and it pisses me off.

>>17362055
It's a fun hobby. Before my essential tremor became too much of an impediment, I would repair old watches. It was so relaxing.

For me, it's the vintage Omega Seamaster with the integrated bracelet.

Good morning I love vintage Omeeger (proper British way of saying it)

>>17362145
gm. it looks very nice fren

>>17362135
Im so mad about tissot using that shitty butterfly clasp on everything.

>>17362145
Did you find somone to service that yet?
Worth getting the movement cleaned and reoiled to make sure it will last in good condition for another half a decade. Dont touch the dial or polish the case of course.

Were are you going? I wear anything when I'm in Tokyo and a Seiko in London.

I would say a used SBGX261 in the £1200-1500 would be perfect.

>>17362321
>Were are you going?
London

nvm

>>17362160
I am going to get it serviced in the new year. I think the previous owner had it lightly polished on the clasp but nothing too badly, the Omega texture is still very feelable unlike those insanely polished ones where they're almost gone so I'm still happy with it. There's plenty of nicks and dings on the bracelet and case so it's still well preserved from 1959.

>>17362349
Nice its a cool watch, enjoy it

>>17362145
