picrel is the greatest and best watch
all else is cope

I unironically love my Duro.

>>17463047
>I like my solid and reliable time piece
Based.

>>17463047
I hate my duro :/ it's such a shit watch when you think of it. Shit proportions, shit lume, bezel is useless if your hands are wet. Weirdly enough though I like it when other people have one, usually it shows some interest in watches.

>>17463052
I've been fine with the proportions personally and the bezel has worked good for me, but I can't deny the lume is probably the weakest of any watch I own.

>>17462999
>You're probably thinking of the SARB
Yes retard it's the exact same watch.

>>17463050
My friend just bought a black version.

So what happened to the bread/tudor cope/you're poor shitposting? Did he died?

>>17463064
He had an anal prolapse from sticking a baguette up his ass too often and had to go to the hospital.

>>17463067
What a fool, he should have learned stretching exercises and used more lube

>diver bezel
you little shit you've never been diving or scuba-ing or snorkeling you'll never use the bezel or see 200 meters of water. Fuckin bullshit watch, fuck you

Post what you have and what you want to add.

I’m going get a Santo next.

Traska GMTs are available tomorrow! Gonna pick up the black one and hope they don't come with misaligned markers.

>>17463074
Funnily enough I bought it for how it looked and then I actually took up diving and snorkeling since it sparked an interest in me.

>>17463050
This watch looks like a fucking toy that would be bundled along with McFries and a McBurger.

>>17463078
Good luck with the marker alignment.

>>17463088
Thanks. If it comes crooked I'm sending it back.

>>17463077
It's weird that I like that cartier diver. I don't like roman numerals, don't like the font, don't like date windows that show you yesterday's and tomorrow's date, yet somehow all together I like this watch. It's like a gin tonic, separately yhe ingredients taste like ass, but together it's great.

>>17463094
Im the same one the Cartier Diver, the 3 day date wheel is designed to show the date if the hands are blocking the date window.

My only issue with the watch is, I wish it was a ceramic bezel.

Whats the best finishing and feel on a watch sub 3k? I dunno, I recently touched some hamiltons, and they felt like toys even compared to some seikos. Is there any chance of getting something robust without going the obvious "just spend 7k+ on a rolex/omega/iwc" etc?

>Mad Watch Collector
>all his watches are normie friendly military watches
not so mad, innit

>>17463107
Bumping this.
People overrate Hamilton a lot.

>>17463107
Either a GS quartz or a The Citizen

Longines isn't bad either

>>17463108
> Are you obscure Casio product ready?

>>17463106
>the 3 day date wheel is designed to show the date if the hands are blocking the date window.
Makes sense.

>>17463078
Dude the upper two are crooked even on the promo pic lmfao.

Which one of these should I get? I can get either of them for $800

>>17463133
The green one

>>17463135
i do like the bezel on that one more

>>17463107
This anon >>17463121 is correct.

>>17463133
Green

Best Seamaster

>>17463155
Hard want.

Good night faggots

>>17463074
the last time someone used a dive watch to go diving they made a news article about it, the guy still wore a dive computer like a normal person and didn't even bother to set the bezel. some retard even kept posting the article as some kind of proof for 2 whole threads. brainlet take

>>17463046
Not using 24 hour time is cucked

>>17463178
>>17463074
Why do people get so triggered by dive watches? I don't see anyone having a hissy fit over people wearing tag f1 racing watches without being f1 drivers, oh wait you have a leased charger so you're totally the next senna right?

There isn't a watch made today that isn't derived from something that would ultimately make the wearer a larper, so what is it about divers in particular? Pic related you poseur tools, it's a tool watch for tools.

I love chronographs bros. Don't even care if I never use the function

>>17463133
They're nothing alike

>>17463209
They're both oris, both divers and I assume they cost the same.
tl;dr: go fuck yourself you retard

Anyone have one of these? https://www.sakurawatches.com/seiko-selection-sbtm323

I want a Grand Seiko so bad but I gotta wagecuck a bit more to get a mortgage, it wouldn't make sense to get it now.

>>17463190
Because its like getting a $6000 gaming computer then using it to watch youtube and browse facebook, sometimes firing up stardew valley. Or getting an F250 to lift it 8" and run 40" tires but never going off road. Or a .338lap precision rifle then shooting 50 yards. Its asinine.

>>17463190
>he hasn't been to space
>wearing a speedmaster
Lmaoing at your life

>>17463053
It fits my wrist but I just find the bezel is too thin, the dial is too big, the dial is too flat with no depth because the chapter ring is near non-existant. The fogmaster replaced it as my big diver style watch. I'm debating giving to my friend who's into diving or keeping it as a shitter to wear to Mexico or some shit

>>17463228
Anon how sad is your life for you to make posts like this thread after thread? Is suicide lurking in your thoughts? Because it's your best choice, your life has no meaning, suicide is your only freedom.

>>17463232
I kid anon. Literally just got a speedmaster today idgaf whether I dive/go to space or not I like the style

>>17463235
How much are Speedies these days?

Ok, I'll admit it. This nogger is fucking heavy.

Greetings, anons. What are some consumer or entry level luxury price range watches in similar style as the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 (pic related), specially the arabic numerals?

>>17463238
7-9k

>>17463238
Too much. This one was bought off of watchexchangeco, coaxial 3861 movement hesalite, cost 5600 usd. Msrp is 6400. 7400 is msrp for the Sapphire sandwich version. I wanted the Sapphire back but not the front because the little ring around the dome looks like shit. Might get an aftermarket back but it will probably destroy what little WR it has

>>17463239
Lol damn nigga. U ever put it on a scale?

>>17463242
>>17463243
>7k
Most I'd go is probably 3 or 4k.

Which Black Bay do you all think will age better? The black or blue BB58?

>>17463243
Unrelated but anyone ever have to do uneven links to get a good fit? On my seamaster I have 3 links+no half links each side and I had to use the quick adjust fully tightened and it fell down my wrist. 2 links+2 half links is too tight without full microadjust, so I had to do 3 links on the 12 o'clock side and 2 links+1 single half link on the 6 o'clock side and I can sit in the middle of the microadjust, tighten if my wrist shrinks or expand when my wrist bloats.

Peak autism

>>17463249
Pretty equally imo.

>>17463253
Jesus dude seek help

>>17463248
The good thing is that there are so many used speedmasters you can find quite a few at that price. The average OK condition professional is about 4-4.5k but reduced and old racing ones go from 2k to 4k. This one has the new movement which is supposedly more robust and has hacking and a nicer bracelet. To me that was worth the extra vs a used 4.5k 1861 movement, since the movement will probably need servicing a few years later down the line+I have a full warranty

>>17463245
I'm not sure, but It's certainly heavier than a submariner, like 70g heavier.

>>17463239

>>17463226
No it's not. None of those actually. You know why? Because all of those things you described are current technology aimed at present day activities. Whereas pilot watches, race car watches, dive watches, and astronaut watches have all been replaced with something else.

A better analogy would be that it's like wearing a blue two piece suit when you aren't a former military officer, or it's like wearing 1980s olympic track shoes when you didn't run for the olympic team in the 1980s, or it's like wearing a baseball cap when you aren't a professional baseball player. All of which people do and yet nobody spergs about those.

>>17463249
Blue imo, it's a really nice shade and finish.

>>17463249
Black for me. Blue is kinda bland and doesn't have the unique vintage style of the black+gold

Big fan of the 36mm Seamaster

>>17463273
M'lady

>>17463278
That's the thing, I have a watch that's 43mm and it doesn't look oversized on my wrist either.

>>17463281
>it doesn't look oversized on my wrist either.
Of course it doesn't, M'LADY.

>>17463249
925 one.

>>17463273
Wow that looks way better than the XBAWKS HUGE seamasters. I dig it

>>17463263
>it's like wearing a baseball cap when you aren't a professional baseball player. All of which people do and yet nobody spergs about those.
No thats a tool to sometimes keep the sun out of your eyes, but mostly to cover a bald head.

Present day activities? How often are you scuba diving or precision rifle shooting?

>>17463235
Glorified 60s watch.
50 years later it still has the same plain dial, all because it went to the moon and that’s the main selling point so God forbid you try to improve it!
They need to move the fuck on.

>>17463293

anyone have personal experience with any junghans max bills or any junghans for that matter?

>>17463249
black is timeless

>>17463293
Automatic watches are antiquated tech so I don't blame them for sticking with their guns. Too many special editions of this watch though I will admit.

>>17463249
I'd say black

>>17463249
Green Harrod's edition or bust

>>17463309
The best one is the gmt black bay pro but almost too much of a Rolex cope. Tudor is a roelx cope brand anyway

>>17463249
Pretty much both equally. They're vintage submariners, that's like the most timeless safe design in watches. The black is more interesting and unique though.

>>17463313
The Tudor GMT looks better than the Rolex GMT master though,

>>17463318
Agreed. Tudor batman gmt when

>>17463313
The pro looks like shit for tastelets. Tudor has much better options.

>>17463395
It's an Hublot Big Bang Unico.

>>17463419
oh damn doesn't get more confirmed than this. what is this pic from?

>>17463041
I'm over 30 and starting to dress according to my age (Tommy, Gant, Barbour, Polo and alike). I want to buy my first watch. Do you think picrel is a good all around design? It's pretty cheap, just 140€.

>>17463424
I saw he wore a Hublot and googled slash hublot. It was the second image.

>>17463426
I also like this one, a bit more casual. I could buy both. What do you think?

>>17463428
Thanks friend

>>17463419
ever since it was pointed out that hublot screws aren't aligned properly (and every other high end watch with visible screws has perfectly aligned screws) I can't unsee it

>>17463433
I wouldn't buy 2 dress watches, get this one with the band and a sporty one like a diver on a bracelet.

>>17463440
>sporty one like a diver on a bracelet
Could you suggest some model around 200€? I like simple designs like the ones I posted.
Thanks a lot!

>>17463444
Well, I think this could be within the budget and as far as sportier watches go this one is on the simple design side.

>>17463449
Thanks. I was looking too (I'm new to watches and I didn't know what "diver" was). What do you think about picrel? Not a diver and it's 500€ but I like the adventure/Indiana Jones vibe. Do you think it fits the preppy/casual look I'm try to achieve?

>>17463390
Russia so it's right either way

>>17463453
I can't comment on the watch itself but it would fit with what you are trying to achieve, for that price you can look for Hamilton field watches

>>17463499
I just ordered the blue Orient and I'll check if I can find a nice "explorer minimal" style under 300€. I see Hamiltons cost more than I want to spend in watches. Thanks for helping me.

What is the most homosexual watch you have ever seen?

>>17463426
30's you at least need a used Tag or something. Id say a Black Bay or better still an older gen Seamaser

>>17463515
A man wearing a baby-G

>>17463516
>Tag
I just want to buy a couple of decent watches to see if I really use them. If I like to wear them, I'll buy nicer ones for sure as I enjoy having quality products.
For the moment I only want to have other thing than the pixel watch around my wrist, since I want to avoid screens when worktime is over.
Thanks for your advice.

>>17463523
>>I just want to buy a couple of decent watches
So you have $30-50k just lying around?

>>17463525
You call this bait?

>>17463533
How much do "a couple of decent watches" cost in your poorfag third world shithole then?

Is there a guide to good HAQ/high end quartz? I'm tempted to get this Long Jeans Explorer knockoff and maybe a Grand Seiko GMT or that Bulova moonwatch when the smaller one comes out, but I wanna know if there's anything else out there.

>>17463535
Try harder

>>17463209
I like both of them equally and they're both Oris divers

>>17463226
I bought a $2000 gaming computer and I only use it for occasional classic wow, youtube, and chrome based work, i also love dive watches

Can a white boy get some recommendations for every day seikos under 500

>>17463582
What does you being white have to do with this? Do you want to buy new or vintage?

>>17463516
>>17463523
OG reply, trust me, if you're started dressing your age, sound like you have a little money or you'd be happy in a hoodie and jean and if you enjoy quality.

You will resell a used Tag or used Omega must easier than an Orient or whatever shitter, they will hold value better too, the people buying of you will be middle class and should be easier to deal with. The Omega will most likely go up in value the longer you hold it.

Just go buy a used Seamaster, I'd say a Speedmaster but that's probably to deep for you starting.If you don't have money get a Seiko Turtle, mid teir a used Nomos Club.

>>17463585
I am open to both

>>17463582
King Turtle is the best buy now in Seiko, I still think the original turtle is better looking, push the boat out and get the SPB143J1, slim turtle or a willard.

>>17463598
Middle one looks great, what's that exactly and how much is it?

>>17463426
>>17463433
Orient is a nice product you won't regret buying it. Seiko sort of owns them, you are getting a comparable product to a Seiko 5 Sport in a dress watch package. If you want to step it up a notch, I would look into the Seiko Presage line.
>>17463586
>>17463516
Gotta love it when someone asks if a $150 watch is a good purchase and you guys are trying to tell him to buy a $4000 watches. Something tells me that is outside of their price range kek

>>17463439
fucking retard. cartier santos doesn't have aligned screws either. it's done on purpose to give it that "rugged" too watch aesthetic. if they were perfect and straight it would be too dressy

>>17463082
You don’t like 80s tech aesthetic?

>>17463226

>>17463681

>>17463678
I like how the logo looks like an ass.

Pretty sure that dude has a Rolex like everyone else. Also the lume stays on for 10 minutes lmfao??????

>>17463681
Citizen ana digi temp does it way better
Also any seiko digiborg

>>17463698
How much is that?

I have a Tag Heuer aquaracer from 2021 that I wear a lot. I’ll probably upgrade to a Rolex this summer

>>17463701
i'll say it. i don't think it's that ugly, i just think it's too large. shrink it down 2mm and i'd absolutely get it

I actually like Hublot because they're just so gaudy and in your face. They know what they're doing and don't pretend to be anything else
If I had the cash one day I would absolutely love to get a Big Bang

>>17463702
Not only is it too large but it’s also heavy as fuck. I still wear my old quartz Tag Heuer often just because it’s lightweight

>>17463699
250-270 brand new

>>17463121
Bumping on longines. They punch above their level. Damasko isnt bad either.

My entire collection is just 3 Tag Heuers. I never cared much about watches. I’ll probably buy a Rolex GMT and never take it off

>>17463706
Same

Post some colorful retro divers
Also can someone tell me what to look out for to avoid buying a fake of pic related?

This thing is unobtanium, hardly any good sornas around

There plenty of microbrands doing retro chornos, but I'm not aware of anything other than baltic, yema and serica making retro divers

Not really a diver but kinda cool style. I dislike the fact that it uses the body from a chono they used to make and now has a cheap movement fitter to it and the pushers are just to change the day month and date, it's pretty rare to come across one in this format that's a chrono

Also just remembered qimei that makes cwc and apparently synchron homages on aliexpress

Also can't forget the sea quartz reissue

I know everyone's asleep at the moment but I'll ask again, what do I look out for when shopping for a vintage king diver? I obviously don't want it to come from India or China, what else? I'm under the impression that the watch I'm posting now is an original king diver, while the red dial one I posted is a fake

Arrived yesterday. At 38.5mm it dwarfs my 1950s Longines, still a watch I'm vey happy with.

>>17463731
what is this one? looks good

>>17463221
Looks good for the money, buy it, at least then you won't be tempted to spend the money you don't have on a watch you don't need.

>>17463239
Branded.

>>17463426
>>17463433
Get the one with the bracelet, you can always buy a strap later. Otherwise this Orient is a solid choice and will serve you well.

>>17463515

Deciding between a Tudor 1926 or the Ranger. Any owners with pro & cons for me to make a better informed decision?

>>17463537
As far as HAQ goes you either go GS (best), Citizen Chronomaster (also very good) and Longines (also good). Can't miss with them and i don't think there is much going on outside of those three, so stick to them. In the end it comes down to personal preference.

>>17463582
I mean the standard answer would be the Presage Cocktail Time, but you already knew that.

>>17463590
Well there are tonnes of vintage Seikos in decent condition to be found out there, but you'd have to know what you're looking for exactly, which means you need to do quite some research. If you have no experience with vintage i'd suggest you stay away from them for now and stick to new stuff. Picrel is what you could get for that money but again, research. Also vintage watches are not that accurate and can break more easily so the service costs might be too high. Just buy new for now.

>>17463605
SPB315, but it costs around 1,5k.

>>17463770
Nice.

>>17463669
Well he did say he was wearing designer clothes like Polo, I wear Polo shirt and they are like £70ish each, not to mind trousers and jackets, yes he did say other brands too. So it sounds like he has £3k for a watch, I feel your watch should cost more than a few shirts you own. Like people with a car that costs 1/3 the price of their house, we all do stupid stuff of course but the advice is sound.

>>17463701
They are okay for the money used, if it’s your first watch you could have bought a lot worst, do sell it when you buy the Rolex, what you thinking of getting. I have 20k spent with my AD and not one fucking call, 3 years for a sub no date and 2 years on a DJ36, I’m going in tomorrow to see what’s what and honestly I’m this close to saying fuck the brand. Waiting to see if grey market prices come down more and if not I’ll just going to buy up all the other brands.

Which one is this? I've looked all over Omega's website but I can't find which model line this would even be under. Perhaps this is a vintage watch?

>>17463828
Over 9000 hours of extensive research using reverse Google image search tells me it is an Omega Specialities CK859.

>>17463248
Why would you spend 3k when the best Speedmaster is only $260?

>>17463844
Thanks, I couldn't be arsed to look it up myself

>>17463681
It just looks too cheap. I mean, it's a cheap watch, but you get the idea?

>>17463292
>No thats a tool to sometimes keep the sun out of your eyes, but mostly to cover a bald head.
You don't need a baseball cap for that, they make umbrellas larper, who do you think you are jackie robinson?

>Present day activities? How often are you scuba diving
Are you saying nobody scuba dives, or are you saying that everyone still uses an analog dive watch with a rotating bezel like it's still 1960?

>precision rifle shooting?
Weren't you implying that the 330 LAP is the finest most epic assault rifle of all time? Sorry I don't know anything about shoulder things that go up so maybe you can unpack that analogy a bit better thanks.

>>17463890
No, buy it.

Is there such a thing as a good Louis Vitton watch?

>>17463525
I don't invest in faggotry and I have kids and non retarded hobbies, so 200€ watch is enough for the moment.

>>17463911
It was probably over a normal watch and he was just in the LV section wearing it.

>>17463901
Pretty common, seiko has done it several times in the last few years. Aritificial scarcity apparently does wonders for sales. Don't look at me I don't do "big data analytics"

>>17463916
Why are you feeding the trolls?

Which king diver dial would you get?

I'm torn between red, green and gray

>>17463586
>Seamaster
>Seiko Turtle
Too cluttered for what I like
>Omega
Geneve line looks nice, will keep it in mind if I make a new purchase
>Nomos Club
These are actually beautiful and some of them are priced well below 2000€, but as I said to other anon, I'm not investing in watches and I don't want to be a watch collector. If I like to wear the Orient I'll get a better watch for sure, but maybe I find it useless and I choose to stick to my Gpixel or Garmin. We will see.
>used
I'm learning that buy used watches is kind of usual, but I never buy second hand things (I've never sold anything I owned either, I even gave my first car as a present to my sister), so used is not an option.
Thanks for your great advice, Nomos watches were a nice discovery.

>>17463916
OG again, fair enough if you have kids anon, just get an orient kamasu or Citizen Promaster NY0085, non sports / tool watches for 200 are not really a thing. Get a diver you will feel like you got something for your money when it is in hand. If you have to get something non sports the orient bambino is the best buy on the market.

>>17463941
Nomos are great buying, you can get them on sale if you don't buy used but you can get near 50% off the retail price used. All German watches are normally good buying.

Look at:
- Stowa (Antea and Marine)
- Laco (classic range)
- Junghans (Plastic crystals by default, pay to upgrade)
- Timex marlin

>designer clothes
OP here, you are right, last two years I spent around 5k in clothes and I could pay more for a watch, but I want to see first if I enjoy wearing it before spending 2/3k. Why?
Storytime: 6 years ago I start enjoying perfumery, then I discovered and start buying oud and attars, which are an amazing experience, but I got more dislikes than compliments (oud smells too weird for some people) and I ended up wearing them at home (rarely because wife doesn't enjoy most of them) or outdoors. Nowadays Bleu de Chanel is my signature fragrance, smells pretty clean and it's a mass pleaser. My oud collection worth probably next to 6/7k and I barely use them. I won'f fall in the same trap with watches.
>inb4: mass pleaser normie
Yes. I am married, have kids and work with people, so I can't smell weird or wear white pride t-shirts. Life is shit sometimes.

You should try to get one on your wrist in person before you buy one, nomos look a lot better in pics than IRL, they may be good watches on the inside and the CEO has a moral compass and stuff but the hamilton-tier finishing is a big letdown

Thank you for your time and advice anon. I just made a txt with all those models so I know what to buy if I get into watches with the passion you show. Are those 2 nomos yours? Best looking watches in the thread. Model name of the black one? Readability is perfect and that leather strap looks amazing.

How so?

>>17463958
You would't fall in the same trap as watches are very liquid, that said some Oud frandatise resell well.

You can go to watch shop and sell watch to retail stores / dealer. Like of Rolex you'll most likely get what you paid for it depending on the model and you can do well on them.

I’m trying to get a GMT, but I’m gonna wait to see if Rolex comes out with a new watch in April. I plan on waiting awhile because there’s a rumor that Rolex is ramping up production. Prices are high because of the 2020 production halt for most of the year

Casio F-91W or DW-5600
my autism wants me to decide between these two watches even though they're different categories/price points ($10 vs $50)

Is Marathon good? Seeing them a lot lately but never heard of them before.

>>17464109
Get an F105. Its better than the F91W

>>17464118
They've got a bit of milsurp operator cachet but nobody thinks they're "nice". I'd say if you want to get a $300 quartz marathon to use as a beater and pretend to be dockers meme desert storm guy then go crazy but I wouldn't buy the "upgraded" ones they're selling for $1000+ now

>>17463701
Based, a Tag was my first watch too, once my collection started to grow I went back to the Tag AD and ordered the red rubber strap and made it my beater.

>>17464109
I have a couple G-Shocks.
I love them.
Thing is, they're well more than I need for a daily.
I always end up going back to one of my F-91W's because they are all I really need.
Someone mentioned the F105, which is basically an A168 with a plastic strap.
Yeah, it's got a better backlight, but I like the super slim profile of the F-91W.
My life doesn't require a good backlight.
You know what you could do?
Just get both and see which one you wear more often.

>>17463911

Not a great watch brand but I liked this ad from years ago.

>>17463978
>watches are very liquid
As said, I don't see watches as an asset, just as a tool, maybe a tool/jewel if some day I go the expensive way. I'm kind of traditional in my investments aka. real state guy.

P good and relaxing.

>>17464167
>Yeah, it's got a better backlight, but I like the super slim profile of the F-91W
They're the same dimensions. Same thickness, width, everything. Its just a different backlight that works infinitely better. And yeah, if a factory bracelet is worth it get the A168 but $30-50 for a bracelet is silly.

>>17464189
Maybe they are underaged, whatever, as long as they get into the hobby and dont settle with an Apple Watch who cares.

>>17464189
Its questionably cheap because 4chan of all places memeing about F91's for decades now people are unsure if they're being trolled or not. Its just like the $14 Opinel knives, surely it must be trash for how cheap it is when in actuality some guys have them for decades talking about how good and useful they are.

For anyone wondering, F91W is a great watch even for how cheap it is, no don't buy nato straps those are dumb and cost more than the watch. However the F105 is 50% more expensive but has an infinitely better backlight.

>>17463911
Louis Vuitton has made several watches worth more than your life (unironically). They hired some extremely savvy watchmakers years ago and give them carte blanche to do whatever they want, but obviously these are all incredibly scarce and pre-allocated to preferred clients.

>t. Not poor

>>17463453
you have pretty good taste for a guy new to the hobby, Orient are a great company - a sub-division of Seiko - and their Star line has some rather excellent models
that piece in particular is what's known as a 'field watch', the idea being that you can take it into rough and rugged situations and expect it to hold up: it's an older style of tough watch, being somewhat outdated compared to the immensely more hardy casio g-shocks, but for a classic stylish look that you can trust to take some battering in daily life, while still presentable for the office, field watches are excellent
(and that particular model in your pic is very well proportioned, with an understated style)

you might also want to look into 'sports watches' which tend to be a little more dressy, or 'tool-watches/divers' for extra functionality

>>17464190
Very nice my friend, enjoy.

As long as it has a date function, decent WR, and decent lume then that's fine with me.

These straps look nice but u should do the minimal screen mod. Way cleaner

>>17464170
Looks tacky to me

>>17464279
NTA but whats a minimal screen mod?

I'm considering buying another F91W to glue to my workbench just to have a time clock nearby but I imagine it'll be too far away and small to be useful.

>>17464182
Quite alright my dear friend.

>>17464281
99% of LV is tacky black-bait

I'm essentially in the dark all the fucking time
Which watch company has the best, longest lasting lume? Or are there any digital watches out there with a backlight that lasts more than a second?

>>17463890
movement will break on you with in a month. ask me how I know.

>>17464338
Does it have to be lume or are you fine with tritium?

>>17464340
tritium is fine

>>17464338

>>17464338
If you want cheap timex do light up dials called indiglo but cheap is cheap.

>>17464346
Marathon is the go to for that. Deep blue has some tritium watches too if you want digital there's the amazefit neo smartwatch, the back lite stays in for quite a bit, it's a bit shit as a smart watch if I'm honest, mine's just gathering dust at this point but it's relatively cheap, so if you like the look of it then why not use it since it has a good back light. It can locate your phone for you by activating a chime so I think that might be a bonus in total darkness

>>17464338
Luminox and Marathon both have Tritium vials, which glow constantly (albeit at a low level). If lume is a chief concern, it's basically the best you're going to get.

Not really a ton of specifics, but the Hamilton Khaki Auto is going to be the best general watch in that price range. Clean enough to dress up, rugged enough for everything else. You'll get the automatic chache with a display back but also enough water resist for anything but diving.

Is there a speicifc name for these watch bands with the threads in the corners of the bands? I'm trying to find some made out of canvas, I checked out CNS and I'm not satisfied with their colour choices

>>17464378
This would be a fine watch if it wasn't for their god awful logo. That fucking name with that fucking font, I can never get over it no matter how much I try to like their watches.

>>17464384
It only looks bad because it doesn't match with the number fonts, and there are way too many numbers on that busy as fuck dial. What time is it? I don't know its 14 5 50 22 automatic time oclock.

If it were a more minimal design of plain indices without text or letters thats just hamilton's font.

>>17463133
Update, tried on both at the A.D and I'm getting the red one, the bezel on the green is nice but the red just really pops more

>>17464383
Two-stitch or vintage strap.

>>17464387
No it looks bad because it's the same font used by fucking home appliance companies like Braun and the name itself is bad too.
>complaining about a busy dial on a field watch
Why am I even talking to a retard

>>17464398
Thanks. Unfortunately it seems CNS is the only place thay makes them out of canvas apart from some dude on etsy selling junk pieces of canvas and leather for $200

>>17464416
>busy and nearly nonsensical is ideal for field watches
Whos the retard now, moron?

>>17464416
Hamilton has been using that fount since the 1950s actually (around the same time as Braun went full mid-modern).

The brand has an interesting story. The tl;dr is Hamilton was a US watchmaker out of Lancaster, PA for a hundred years, and bought Gruen (a Swiss manufacturer) right before the Quartz Crisis, they moved everything to Switzerland just in time for the watch crash, and were bought by Swatch Group.

>>17464425
It's clearly legible if you don't have the IQ of a 5 year old. I'm also not saying it's ideal but it pretty much the standard meme fieldwatch look. It's like complaining that a diver doesn't have numerals and has large indices and a rotating bezel.

>>17464425
I actually use all three indicies daily. Different strokes and all. One thing that doesn't come clear in pictures is how the dial texturing/levels are different for each index and it really helps differentiate them at a glance.

>>17464427
I didn't know all of this but I'm aware of modt of their history, it doesn't change the fact that for me, that name with that font is fucking horrible. I honestly would rather wear a braun watch.

>>17464436
I mean Braun to this day still has some of the best Industrial Design in the game for sure.

>>17464440
It is a very nice watch and even though it looks like it's designed by a vaccum cleaner company I'm fine with it because it's a modern looking watch. Now that I think of and have looked it up I'm fine with Hamilton's logo on the Ventura, because it does look like something a vacuum cleaner company would make and I'm fine with that.

>>17464450
Wow talk about being repetitive, I need better quality sleep.

>>17464220
>pretty good taste
Thanks anon. I just like it simple.
>field watch
New point to the watch-notes I took. Thanks.
I love this "field" kind as it fits my lifestyle as it is now: we both work from home and we go 3 to 5 times a week for a long walk into an oak forest we have close by.
I'm thinking about it tonight but I feel like buying the Orient Pilot. It looks beautiful and your words push me to place the order.

>>17463960
I love the mojito and the Manhattan... They are soooo pretty. I finally saw one in person the other week. It looks like a work of fucking art.

>>17463240

>>17464565
Nothing Luxury about omega. just get a poor man's ROlex.

>>17464565
Try them both on. I'd go for a Seamaster if it was my first real watch because of the water resistance and date.

>>17464565
As a shitter, go Seamaster, that water resistant is needed for the every day beater, plus servicing is cheaper bc its not a chrono.

I've been an owner of a Tudor Pelagos for about 5 years now, and to this day not a single soul has commented on it and I've been around people plenty. It's a cool watch and I do love it but fuck me for 4 grand I'd have thought at least some people would at least acknowledge it. fuck.

>>17464610

>>17464338

You can configure the light in the AE1200 to last either 1.5 or 3 seconds.

>>17463249
Blue, it is and will be its own watch because of the colour.

>>17464624
It's a dive watch, no one actually gives a shit about them, ontop of that the pelagos is a purely utilitarian watch, I'm sure a black bay might have gotten you a compliment or 2 but the truth is unless it's gaudy, gold, a skeleton watch, a shiny casio or the newest iwatch no one cares.

You're payhing about 25 euros for a stainless steel bracelet and the chrome plating on a F91. Depends on the rest of your fashionable clothes and overall aesthetic if chrome and silver metal will pair well with it compared to black plastic/rubber on your wrist.

If you spend extra money to buy a mechanical over a quartz, it is because you appreciate the craftsmanship of movements... right?
