Just buy a baby dreadnaught.

>>17418163
sorry you have both poor taste and poor impulse control

>>17418165
I actually like this?

>>17418182
that's perfectly fine

>>17418182
Italian design will do that to you

I tried fixing my g-shock and I lost the gay little spring that's used to make beeps and alarms happen. Gave it to a watchmaker for service Feels bad without me watch.

>>17418165
>>17418194
Post more Italian designs please

Where does /wt/ buy mesh bracelets? I want one for my Orient Mako. (pic unrelated)

>dad finds out I like watches
>Gives me a few of his old quartz shitters over Christmas
Thanks dad
The Breil looks neat

Tissot, hamilton or seiko as a first decent watch?

>>17418216
I wish my dead relatives had taste. There's nothing more soul crushing than inheriting a shitter

How was your Christmas /wt/?

>>17418225
Depends on the model/style

>>17418165
Just bought this today, what do you guys think about putting a leather strap on Datejust?

>>17418216
That Eddie Bauer watch looks neat. Can I have it?

>>17418237
Well, everyday use, I think. I like hamilton murph, seiko alpinist and presage and tissot gentleman... something along these lines.But I'm a noob and will gladly listen to advice.
Can stretch the budget to 1.3-1.5k max

Why is the GP Laureato so underrated?

>>17418252
it's a royal oak cope with a nautilus bracelet so you can cope twice as hard about not having either.

>>17418216

I would totally wear the Breil, but I am not sure about the others..

the Beil has strong Porsche Design Vibes

>>17418243
light blue/grey suede would be kino

>>17418251
With that budget my choice would be pic related. Generally within the Swatch group Hamilton is considered a higher tier than Tissot fyi.

>>17418251
If you can save up a bit more, pic related is an awesome choice

>>17418251
>tissot gentleman

That watch is so dull it could be used to induce coma. It has absolutely no personality, which is why watch YouTubers love it because neither do they. Some Vapid cunt can just read the specs and say how shiny is it. the Tissot Gentlemen is the peak Reddit "superior consumer" watch.

If Massdrop paired with Solent to design a watch it would be the Tissot Gentleman.

>>17418269
haha, it's just like a Rolex then

>>17418291
This comment makes no sense. >>17418269
Is talking about a specific model whereas you are mentioning the whole brand? You can't say something like a Milgauss or Sky-Dweller lacks personality without coming off as cope.

>>17418294
its just like a datejust then, although if you configure it with jubilee bracelet and fluted bracelet is it's at least iconic, whereas the tissot gentleman and datejust smooth bezel and oyster bracelet are just shiny and smooth

>>17418225
Hamilton Khaki Field for a proper field watch, Tissot PRX for everyday or Seiko Presage (the baby grand seiko model, I think it’s sarx033) for another everyday watch.

>>17418247
Based and outdoorsman pilled, but no That's the second favorite of the bunch and I'll actually use that on canoe trips and the like.
>>17418256
Yeah the casio and seiko are scratched to hell and two-tone which I don't particularly like.

>>17418299
Okay yeah that statement makes more sense.

>>17418252
I don't think I have a 42mm socket wrench.

>>17418269
>If Massdrop paired with Solent to design a watch it would be the Tissot Gentleman.
damn that’s brutal lmao

>>17418252
looks like massive cope

>>17418259
I was thinking about a light blue strap for spring, I think it’s the move as well.

>>17418180
for example the Breitling Premier Automatic and JLC Master Control have really similar bracelets and I like them both

Are there any companies today that make watches like picrel (Omega ultra thin) for <$1000? I really like the simple look of the dial and how the small rectangular shape as well. my wrists are kind of thin but not wristlet tier so I thought a smaller dial would not extenuate that.

>>17418269
It's a simple, classic design which won't look out of place in the future. The finishing and specs are great for the price range.

You can call it reddit or any other buzzword as much as you want. It's still objectively a nice watch if you like the design.

hi, good afternoon , gentelman

>>17418360
>shiteling
lol, lmao even

>>17418243
Old Datejusts look great on leather.

>>17418236
Was good. Hit o.t. during holiday hours. Bought this.

>Friend gives me a watch to service for him, an old timex with a neat looking red and white dial/band aesthetic
>Okay cool hands set but it doesn't tick
>Open it up
>It has a whopping Zero (0) jewels
>Not even the balance roller jewel
>All pivots need to fit in front and back plates at once
this is gonna suck to put back together

>>17418382
>>17418382
>It's a simple, classic design

No anon its just boring. The least amount of design possible went into it. The reason that style persists is because there will always be people lacking personality and style who need to tell the time. Its like having a poster of a ford mondeo on your bedroom wall.

>>17418251
Get the alpinist it's great and if you buy from japan right now it's cheap because the yen is in the shitter

It’s up!

https://youtu.be/f8GA8Lt9Xvk

>>17418390
ah, the seiko gentleman

>>17418399
yeah, what's wrong with them except being popular with bouncers?

>>17418458
really going out of your way to prove me right about the poor taste thing, huh?

>>17418464
I mean a lot of their models look extremely tacky, but the premier automatic day date is more conventional

>>17418475
one thing that you can accuse it is of is mixing all kinds of designs from other watches into one

>>17418475
This should be 800 bucks and say "Tissot" on it

>>17418475
>white printed frame around date window
>no frame around day window
fucking hell

>>17418412
wristwatch revival on YouTube redid one of those in a video if you need a guide. It looked painful

>>17418475
I hate breitling so much it's unreal

>>17418513
They have some decent models. If they ditched the date window for a numeral this would have been a 10/10

>>17418409
Should I get the auto or quartz of that watch?

>>17418198
hahaha
Don't worry, bro. He'll fix it.

>>17418367
Search for second hand Cartier from the 90's and 00's.

>>17418581
I went in planning on buying the quartz but the waffle dial looked way better in person and I appreciated the open case back since none of my watches have one. Tough call

>>17418269
Yeah, I kinda agree, I just mentioned some models which felt and looked decent to my taste.
>>17418429

I have one and it's excellent

>>17418216
I actually hide how interested in watches i am from family because I don't want to be given a gift I won't want but feel compelled to wear
I always pretend I'm casually into watches

https://longislandwatch.com/staib-st-st-2905-20806sbl-mesh-watch-bracelet-st-st-2905-20806sbl/
This specifically is the 40 dollar one that I have and it's really nice. I highly recommend it. No need to spend more since it's all essentially the same thing. Mesh bracelets probably cost pennies to make so paying a lot for one is retarded

>>17418453

He has to keep his big-booba post wall roastie happy somehow.

How do you all feel about nivada grenchen reissues? Just found out about the brand and they seem to have some cool vintage designs.

I just got a Casio MDV 107 delivered and the bezel is entirely stuck. I already asked for a replacement, but I was under the impression that casio QC was supposed to be impressive.

>>17418680

If you're ordering shit online you need to be extra careful about provenance and that goes for more than just watches
Amazon marketplace is rife with scammers who sell used goods as new, swap high quality parts for cheap knockoffs, and all kinds of worse shit

What are some good traditional quartz or solar quartz shitters? I’m already waiting for my casio lineage with a white dial. How is Timex nowadays? Rec some sub 500 shitters, preferably field watches, divers are okay too.

New watch. Whad'ya think?

>>17418723
>not the 106

>>17418784
skeleton watches are cringe imo but stuff like the orient star i think is pretty dope, jazz master is riding the line though but i could dig it irl

>>17418734
casio shitters are where it's at.
Happy new year y'all

>>17418710
Know nothing of the brand but that's a nice looking chrono at least.

>>17418808
Happy almost new year

>>17418805
Yeah, i'm browsing through models now, and when its literally a small opening aka heart - its cool. Hamilton jazzmaster looks interesting. But the whole fully transparent dial - dunno, seems unusable.

>been on the "waitlist" for an OP for 6 months despite 30,000 purchase history
safe to assume I'm never getting the watch at this point and should go gray right?

>>17418834
is this for real or just some false flag? I dont have a horse in this race but the amount of times I see this is getting unbelievable now.

>>17418788
It's pretty tacky but i like that about it. Tell us more about it, anon

>>17418838
I don't know what you're talking about? I have $30,000 from other watches and jewelry. I expressed my interest for the green op in 36mm. I know it's a popular meme model but I feel like this is a bit too long.

>>17418853
If you have the kind of money that allows you to spend 30k on watches over the years you have enough to pay grey market prices and get the watch you want immediately and not play the stupid waitlist game
I think you're making this up

Best beater watch. Its been used in warzones around the world.

This is the best watch if you dont wanna get robbed or killed for your rolex.

Also if you bring your phone with you to tell the time in a battlefield you are dead meat.

No body in the squad is allowed to have a phone on them. All those idiots in Ukraine running around with their phones are cannon fodder.

>>17418917
I had a watch like this when I was a kid yes. Its true.

There is a bit of nostalgia to this watch for me. But if you ask youtubers who are into watches they all have a G Shock they wear when they are too scared to wear their good watches.

Its very common for people to use the G shock in place of a very nice watch. And its battlefield tested and carried by guys in the military so they can have an accurate time piece. Coordination on the battlefield is very important.

i gotta give at least a 7/10 on this one. you got me

>>17418840
Not much to tell. Bought it for what I think is a good price to fill an open niche for dress watches and to replace one that was stolen from the mail before it got to me. I don't even know if I disagree with the tackiness - I'm strongly considering putting a leather strap on it to make it more discreet and tasteful.

What's your "I just like it" watch? I hope these get restocked soon.

>>17418913
I was in the army and we had our phones on us all the time. The issue was reception and battery
You almost never had signal anywhere in a field environment and unless you had a vehicle you had no way to charge it
I drove a medvac APC for a long time so always had a way to charge my shit so i was on it constantly playing games or reading e-books to pass the time

>>17418891
I didn't buy that stuff to get on the "waitlist", anon. I bought it previously because I wanted it. While I'm not super rich , the green OP goes for $15k, instead of $6k at retail. I don't want to pay $15k on it unless i absolutely have to and that price point i'd consider getting a submariner on gray or something else.

>>17418917

I'm not a fan of NATOs personally, as far as comfort or looks go. I dont hate them though

I do have massive NATO fatigue which is an entirely separate issue. Redditors were obsessed with them as they were another cheap funko pop tier item they could hord and call a collection and post for upvotes. Then every fucking watch youtuber decided they would start selling their own shitty Strap line, i dunno if this was a cause or effect to the reddit consoomer issue.

>>17419116
same as me but i hate quartz as well

Cheap Mechanical watches dont keep time very well. If you buy a something under $100 it will probably lose 15-30 seconds a day. Where a good Rolex movement only loses that much in a month.

With a cheapie mechanical watch you have to reset the time often.

>>17419316
Not guaranteed. Sure the tolerances are smaller but who is to say you can't get a +3 sec a day timepiece by chance? Sure you could get +/-30 sec on some low end movements but you'd have have many samples to know for sure.

>>17419326
That is what you are paying for when you buy a nicer watch. Your buying the accuracy. There is more engineering that goes into the better watches to make them more accurate. For example they will have more jewels in them and will be more reliable.

>>17419326
I had a fake rolex for 40 bucks that used to have +5 sec a month if I handwound it everyday

I like handsome smol vintage looking dive watches :)

I want to buy an analog watch as an accessory for nights out. But, I've never cared for watches (Or fashion) until recently, so I have no taste for it and have a few doubts.
Does the strap material and color have to match what I'm wearing, or is it reasonable for any watch to match most situations?
I know of the size of wrist vs size of watch, what else can't be left to personal taste?
Are all designer-brand watches (Diesel, Tommy Hilfiger, Armani, Calvin Klein) overpriced crap?
Pic: What I current think is a decent-looking watch in my limited budget. Another option was the Casio Edifice EFV-140L-1AV.
Not in the EU / NA market, so direct recommendations are useless.

>>17419377
Orient bambino if you want cheap auto that is dressy. All fashion brand watches are utter fucking dogshit

Do all seikos have these insanely overbuilt springbars or is it just the arnie? These things are stupid thick.

>>17418294

Yeah lots of bmw driving show off fuckboys wear subs, datejust, MUH BATMAN MUH PEPSI shit but to throw all of Rolex into one category is heavy cope and a brainlet take. Keep up the good work my man.

>>17418949
Anon, I like it, congrats.

You can get a fake rolex from DHgate for under $100. But the really good super clones cost over $600-800.

>>17419419
Lots of them do especially their divers, its a sekio thing

>>17419401
Orient watches aren't common here, they cost 4 times their original USD price. Not to mention a Bambino is double the price of the models I showed. Not an option, unfortunately.
Thanks on the confirmation about designer-brands, I suspected it was crap given how relatively cheap they are.

>>17419419
The arnie is not normal for Seiko.

Seiko's best watch was the SKX which they dont make anymore. You used to be able to get one for $150

Post your holy grail
Pic related

>>17419436
They dont make my holy grail yet. I want the clone makers to start doing copies of the Spring Drive.

Spring Drive movements are going to take over the watch industry. Because you get the accuracy of quartz while still using springs and gears.

>>17419443
How does this work? Is there a battery or a circuit board?

>>17419446
They have permanent magnets and electromagnets along with an integrated circuit. The spring spins the magnets and creates a small amount of power that goes to the Crystal and then they feed that impulse into the chip to keep time. They are self winding too so the spring has a 72 hour reserve.

The cheapest ones Seiko makes are about 5k.

>>17419443
Spring drive is the worst of both quartz and mechanicals. Not a single high-end brand will embrace that filth, ever. And no, Gey Sexko is not high-end.

>>17419446
Spring Drives started with Grand Seiko but Seiko has started making their own.

They are pretty accurate because they say its 15 seconds a month in the specs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoEorK6elZM

>>17419443
>Spring Drive movements are going to take over the watch industry
LOL, NO

>>17419450
Grand Seiko is known as a high end brand. You got everything backwards. Spring Drive is the best of quartz and mechanical.

Just watch the future is going to have many more spring drive movements.

I found this in the original box at an antique store. Based off the packaging I’d say it’s late 80s/early 90s. It’s nothing crazy like a lot of your guys’ but I like it.

>>17419455
>Grand S O Y K O
>high-end
Infinite LOLS

>>17419449
So the battery never needs to be replaced? Does the winding make a charge that winds it?

>>17419463
They dont even have a battery. Its electric power made by spinning magnets. The magnets spin because of the spring that is wound up. You can hand wind them or they are self winding.

>>17419449
If you're relying on a +5k chip to keep time, you might as well go full digital and get rid of gears altogether.

>>17419465
So, it uses a computer to keep time, but stops after less than a week of not wearing it?
NOT that impressive, son.

>>17419469
Yes that is the most sensible watch to own. But when you want something with a bit of fashion the metal bracelet watch is nicer.

>>17419471
The Quartz Crystal and the Integrated chip together keep time and yea like all mechanical watches the spring will unwind its power... But if you wear it then its self winding.

>>17419473
But that boring and if >>17419471 is right, redundantly useless.

Its not useless because the movement is very accurate.

>>17419484
>very accurate
Is very accurate but it stops after few days of not wearing it. Why bother with chips, then?

>>17419489
All mechanical watches stop after a couple days.

Most of them only have 48 hours of reserve power. The spring drive is more efficient and has 72. So thats an improvement of one entire day of power.

>>17419489
Because it's more accurate than gears.
>But why not use quartz then?
Because my sweeping seconds

There is no ticking noise with a Spring Drive watch. The seconds hand has a very smooth arc. Its not graduated it just sweeps around the dial silently.

The stored spring energy is used more efficiently when time is kept via the quartz crystal.

>>17419471
the fact that the whole drivetrain is mechanically driven by a mainspring and it STILL delivers 5 days (even 8 days on some models) is impressive. the quartz is there to provide an extremely accurate oscillating reference for the watch (compare 4 Hz vs 32768 Hz). it then uses magnetic brakes to regulate the unwinding of the mainspring. it's extremely fucking cool

the correct name for spring drive should be "handwound quartz"

Too many explanations to justify a SHITTER.

Its pretty new technology and I think other watch makers will do their own versions.

>>17419510
sucks to be stupid

>>17419510
They already have, Piaget has done their own "spring drive" type movement. Forget which ref they used it in though.

>>17419518
so did they because they never used it again, roflmao

>>17419508
The only "people" who don't understand spring drive are sub-100iq morons.

>>17419520
They realized how stupid it is and forgot about it.

What is the Seiko of Switzerland?

I'd be tempted to look for one except I have literally no reason to get a diver

Question. Are german watches any good? Sinn, muhle, nomos? Or I shouldnt play a hipster and just go with usual suspects as a first decent watch?

>>17419640
Sieko used the same case and made a GMT version. But they dont have a screw down crown.

They call this the 5KX on the internet because its a rip off of that SKX

>>17418933
Casio Lineage RC, Timex field watch solar powered (black case, nato strap), Seiko mini Tuna, Tissot PRX 35mm, hell, even the Smiths Seafire looks great. But I still want a GS quartz first before buying these shitters.

>>17419656
Forgot to add the Casio Oceanus S100, I really like the basic look of it, beautiful dial with probably the best logo of a watch ever made.

>>17419647
>new 5 with hacking seconds
Nope

Dumb question about rotating bezels. Do any watches rotate them back as the minute hand moves? Are there any of those with some kind of bell or other alarm?

>>17419675
Diver bezels are Unidirectional. And GMT's you can turn either way. Its because when your diving under the see you never want your dive watch to bump on something and shorten your dive time. Because then you will stay under longer then you thought. They dont alarm you are just supposed to pay attention to the minute hand for diving.

When you use the GMT function you spin the dial to figure out other time zones. Its a Pilot / Traveler watch.

This is pretty neat but the case is dog shit

>>17419690
That whole thing looks like dogshit.

>>17419690
It's very cool, sad it's completely sold out.

>>17419690
Dunno, I think it looks like a parody

>>17419507

I'd say it was the SARB.

>>17418165
Too tryhard minimalistic

>>17419377
>Does the strap material and color have to match what I'm wearing
If you're wearing leather then it's good to have all your accessories (belt, shoes) matched with the watch strap, but it's nothing major. What you should really consider is where in the scale of casual to formal your outfits are, and get a watch matching that. Anyway that edifice is a very versatile and solid watch.

Is there any good place to look at a bunch of modded seikos visually? Reddit is shit. I'm tempted to make my own diver because the chinks have a 36mm case now.

>>17419824
etsy, but I feel something revolting inside of me when I see a watch that wants to be another watch so badly, but says seiko on it. more weirdly they have modded dials with a grand seiko logo on it.

>>17419675
>Do any watches rotate them back as the minute hand moves? Are there any of those with some kind of bell or other alarm?
Nope. This kind of "egg timer" watch has been a dream of mine for a while, but I've never seen any company make one.

I think a lot of it is down to the fear of cheap bomb timers. There were these old memo park parking timers that essentially got removed from the market because the IRA were using them or some shit.

A diver bezel is almost as good, you just have to check on it every so often so you know how much time has passed. Fuck the unidirectional shit on most watches though. Absolutely retarded, just makes it more annoying to use for no good reason.

>>17419832
>>I think a lot of it is down to the fear of cheap bomb timers.
What's the difference between that and an egg timer that would be even cheaper?

I am thinking about buying a Casio Oceanus S100 when I have the money... It is finished by the same shop that finishing Grand Seiko, so it looks nice, with the added benefit of solar polar, atomic time, and time zones... $400.

That's nice, but I think you're very confused about what "sallaz polishing" means, or you don't know what "shop" means, are you ESL?

>>17420048
So they used the same ancient machines that high end Swiss watchmakers have used for decades, doesn't mean it's made to the same standard by the same guys.

>>17420077
ancient machines from a more civilized age

>>17419832
>I think a lot of it is down to the fear of cheap bomb timers.
Digital timers (including digital watches with alarms, such as... the obvious) have been everywhere for decades now so I'm not sure this still applies, but maybe the demand just isn't there
I poked around and found out there are Samsung smartwatches with rotating bezels, but they don't seem to use it for anything that's actually useful to someone who wears a watch

>>17420035
if you look into what Zaratsu polishing is, you might not think it's quite so special as marketing implies, but on the other hand; the actual features of that watch are top-notch and it's a really nice all-rounder suitable for most any occasion so for your first 'serious' watch, you aren't going wrong

just so you know, though, once you buy this you will fall in love with quality craftsmanship and end up spending thousands buying more and more interesting pieces, constantly filling your waking life and dreams with shiny little nonsense machines and coming back to this thread for MOAR so yeah, maybe just get a fitbit


also; solar is great but over winter you will need to pop out every time there's a bright day and give it those 5 minutes of sun, though i've found that 20 minutes with a UV flashlight will also do the trick

>>17419796

The Germans mainly make three types of watches very well; tool/pilot, Bauhaus and the traditional marine watches.
They tend to be a bit more rough around the edges, simplistic and don't have the sleek elegance of the swiss.
It can also be a bit of an acquired taste for the German quirkiness in some cases.
Most cheap brands use same or similar off the shelf movements or modify them in the upper price ranges. Typically you have to go above 5k to find in-house movements, unless you shop vintage of course.

Sinn make some of the coolest and most unique tool watches in my opinion, at an affordable price. Use a few meme features normal people don't need that drives up price and service cost. Helmut Sinn was himself a fighter pilot in WW2.

Nomos get hate for being leftist faggots, but I can't hate on their designs even though I'm not a fan of Bauhaus. They also make traditional watches for us wristlets that don't like +40mm dinner plates that the Germans seems to be fond of. May also be an exception for cheapish in-house movements, not sure where they start at.

Stowa, Laco and Hanhart mainly live off their legacy as makers of WW2 watches, uses off the shelf movements and sadly aren't real watch makers anymore. Affordable and good looking though.

Glashütte Original, the poor man's Lange, is a high end vertically integrated manufacturer, (almost) on par with JLC, although, certainly not as accomplished.
They have some pretty cool designs. You can usually find early 2000s designs at a decent price on chrono24.

the more watches I try on the more I realize I have absolutely no desire for anything above 40mm. I grew up with a vintage 34mm timex marlin passed to me from my grandfather, and then went into G-Shock, then through seiko/rolex. I've tried on virtually every watch size, gone to a lot of collectors meetings. I tried on panerai's, omegas, cartier, tudor, rolex, patek, ball, virtually every watch brand under the sun, and no matter what I still prefer a good 34-38mm watch. I don't know how companies can offer such insanely large watches. They're bulky, garish, uncomfortable, and ugly.

no seething here, pics of that classy boi always remind me just how good things can be

What is the last watch you're wearing this year anons?

>>17420301
nta but that's really helpful

as an aside, i'm guessing the german penchant for dinner plates is because they tend to be quite big lads physically, coupled with the fact that big dials are easier to see, and thus more efficient
and we know how those guys like efficiency

>Nomos get hate for being leftist faggots,
This doesn't happen outside of /wt/, it's one /pol/ autist who got angry because they said gay people should have rights somewhere buried in tiny font in the most obscure part of their website

>>17420359
hmm i doubt pol would get too upset if nomos simply wants homos to have the same rights as any other person. It must be something else they said

>>17420363
>>17420359
It's kind of funny. They have modernist Bauhaus designs and the design department is located in the degenerate hell hole known as Berlin. Yet, they're the vanguard of German watch making. Independent and not owned by a conglomerate, unlike A Lange and Glashütte Original. Developed their own complete movements.

>In 2013, Nomos debuted a line of calibres called the DUW line – short for Deutsche Uhrenwekre. All of this led up to the release of a proprietary swing system in 2014. This didn’t happen all at once. The new swing system had been in development since 2007, and had required a partnership with TU Dresden, as well as an investment of 12 million euros.

>The main challenge of producing a swing system is that it requires incredible skill and precision. The pallet, escape wheel, and balance, along with the other parts, have to be produced with micrometer-level precision. Not only do they have to be produced with this level of precision, but they have to work in tandem. Uwe Ahrendt, the general manager who oversaw the process and is now CEO, compared the process of producing a new swing system to landing on the moon.

>This is the reason most watch manufacturers either buy someone else’s movement, or produce an in-house movement based on an existing movement. Simply put, engineering a new swing system from scratch is both too expensive and too demanding a task for most watch manufacturers to afford. To this day, only a handful of highly-skilled Nomos watchmakers are qualified to manufacture them. Hence the continued dominance of Swiss calibres like ETA. Much like the moon landing was a “giant leap for mankind”, producing an in-house swing system was a giant leap for Nomos. It allowed them to create their own watches entirely from scratch, without relying on any other firms to produce their parts.

This is my favorite watch, what the hell is wrong with me? It makes love to my wrist. The size, the weight, the feel, the light, the look, I fucking love it, j can't help it, I'd rather wear it over the most amazing mechanical movement or wondrous solar quartz radio spring drive doohickey.
