I can't remember off the top of my head how big my wrists are but they're very small
My GW-M5610 works well

what do you think, could a spring drive movement be realized in a cheap(-ish) watch up to like $500, similarly to how even a cheap "pure" quartz movement only is off by a fraction of a second per day simply because of how it functions, or is it not as cheap to make a spring drive that runs accurately?
surely Seiko would never do it themselves, preserving that technology only for the high end models. but someone else once patents run out? let's assume that we'd be content with ±2 seconds per day.

>>17559544
Fuck companies that artificially restrict the distribution of their products to make them more scarce. Rolex for life.

>>17559547
>Fuck companies that artificially restrict the distribution of their products to make them more scarce.
Just like rolex does then? :^)

>>17559546
I don't really understand the point of spring drive. So it mechanically produces electricity... just to drive a quartz crystal. Literally why not just get a quartz watch? You can get one of the many solar powered quartz watches way cheaper and still never worry about batteries.

>>17559550
That's different.

>want to see if a rangeman fits me
>nearest store that has them in stock is over an hour and a half away in the middle of nowhere
I guess I'm not that desperate

>>17559557
lol, lmao

>>17559553
It allows for a fully sweeping seconds, whereas the second hand of a mechanical watch beats 6 or 8 times a second
The quartz crystal is used by the onboard integrated circuit to regulate the speed of the seconds hand and ensure its accuracy

Its very easy to get an overseas, just buy a different vc watch from them directly and then call and ask for one.
Also /wt/ was warning this was going to happen when you could still walk into a boutique and get a blue dial overseas, your fault for waiting.

>>17559565
A regular quartz watch doesn't have a sweeping seconds hand

>>17559546
Yes, there is nothing expensive about a spring drive movement. They could easily be massed produced cheaply.

>>17559558
Just buy it on Amazon and return it if it doesn't fit.

this is the only springdrive i would ever want to get

Local shop has a used 16570 that was serviced 5 years ago (or I could get another on chrono24 any time) for 8500 usd, could probably get one for 7500 or so if I look.

>>17558366
>>17558445
For an actual answer, I was pleasantly surprised that this Ratio Freediver wasn't complete shit. I think it was about $130 in total for this 200m quartz model. It has a ceramic insert, sapphire crystal, good lume, and a bracelet with solid endlinks.

For cons, there are several since this was only $130. The lume, while being good, is blotchy in a few places. The bezel is aligned, but the seconds hand isn't. The Seiko quartz movement keeps time unlike the automatic movements typically found in this price bracket, but it's an unremarkable, barebones $4 quartz movement. The bracelet is better than the average Seiko bracket, but that's not saying much (which is why it's currently on a rubber strap). Additionally, there's the fact that it does nothing creative or new. This watch is a weird amalgamation of a Seiko SKX013-inspired dial, Citizen-esque bezel, and 80s TAG Heuer case, complete with a bracelet that is suspiciously similar to the one that comes with the Seamaster. Unfortunately, the other models are even more hideous. Finally, there's the name, and when you look at the dial, it sometimes says:
>RATIO
>REE DIVER

So far, I've been wearing it in situations where I don't want to damage a watch I actually care about. I wore it in the shower and while swimming and haven't noticed any water getting inside. I'll give an update once it shits the bed, but so far, it seems like a decent option for poorfags.

>>17559751
Ok I accept that you're crazy, but have you ever heard of watchboxes?

My father-in-law was a huge watch collector. After he passes there was too much to go through at the time. Years later we’ve decided to sort through it more closely.
This pocket watch was in a separate little box and it seemed like he put importance on it. I tried to find it online to get a history of it but couldn’t find much.

>>17559809
First of all, if you actually have situational awareness and avoid going to dangerous places at night, you shouldn't be so paranoid. Since there are so many fakes in circulation now, many people would just assume your Rolex is another fake. Second, if you like wearing the Sub but don't want to draw attention to it, take it off the blingy bracelet and wear it on a strap of your choice. Keep in mind that most people don't know anything about watches.

Or I don't know, maybe don't wear your Rolex everywhere?

>>17559809
this sounds dumb, but i’ve found that when you put watches on a third party strap like 99% of people disassociate it with their preconception of what a rolex is supposed to look like, so they don’t even notice it, probably thieves as well

it’s like normies don’t know watches can be put on different straps

It's an answer to a question no one asked.
By the time the first models came to market the time to ask such a question had long passed and seiko missed the window by about 20 years.
Fancy quartz is all it is, with all the cons of not only a quartz watch but also the maintenance considerations of a mechanical watch as well thus compounding any difficulties.
Also the trisynchroregulator or whatever the fuck has an IC, which will fail within 15 years because of the onions non-leaded solder now used in all electronics because of EU mandates.
Just don't unless you piss money and can buy whatever you want willy nilly, but even then, why?

You don't have a luxury watch.
Luxury goods can't be purchased at the mall or on the internet with a discount.

So there's no such thing as a luxury car then? Because you can get those at malls or for discounts (including online since some makers are going for an online sales style).

Yes, steel Rolex aren't luxury watches (mass produced goods in non-precious materials, affordable price). The whole "buying experience" is though (waiting lists, no discount).

>>17559544
why would i waste my time trying to get watches from brands that obviously have no interest in selling them to (new) customers? instead of "well, they like it, let's made some more of them and haul in the cash" they went ful retard with their elitist "sorry, no watch for you, please continue the online simping and try again in 5 years" and some anons even double down on that.

for the past few days anons told stories about how they could'nt even enter the AD because they were told to fuck off by the bouncer or that the employees simply closed up the store seeing them approaching it. i'll bet if i entered one of my local rolex ADs and dropped 20k in cash on the counter, telling them to give the one that's in the window right now, they'll find excuses not to give it on me on the spot because i don't look jewish enough. i'm not even talking about VC or AC that usually only attracts a certain clientel, but rolex is a basic bitch mainstream luxury brand that could easily crank out more watches on demand, but they rather want to maintain their image as a secret club were you have to jump through hoops if you want in and have to spend like 15k in advance on something you don't want to are allowed to ask for the 30k watch you actually wanted years ago.

>>17559967
Pre-mid 2000's electronics. That's why old shit still works forever when you plug it in but new shit dies within 10-15yrs or less.

No, they really couldn't.
Rolex produces approximately 1.2 millions watches per year. Each one of them is already sold to a customer the second they leave the factory.

Now let's say Rolex wants to increase its production by 10%. That's 120 000 watches to produce, ie the equivalent of IWC or Breitling annual productions.
To do that, they'll need to build new factories, hire workers, buy machines, etc. Basically what they are doing right now :

Just wait until the first generation Sproong Drive customers are told by Seiko that they no longer service watches that old.

>>17560156
A little lume is nice. Makes it a more effective sports watch.
Other than that, though, it's not really anything special. A steel luxury sports watch with a blue dial and an integrated bracelet. Not really breaking new ground.

welcome to the world of high end stores.

>>17560240
They won't use those words so blatantly, obviously. But if you haven't done business with them in the past and/or don't have some kind of notable reputation they'll give you a lot of talk about waiting lists and demand and generally put off going out of their way to order you what you want. There (artificially) just aren't that many rolex watches and if they sell the good shit to nameless retards they might disappoint the big spenders that happen to be powerful people who rub elbows with the other powerful people that want to be big spenders too, then the AD has egg on their face.

>>17560029

Explorer is expensive for what you get, but it is one of the few Rolex that retains the tool watch style

>>17560238
Not strictly. The numerals and indications are different, many would say they're much more clear on the explorer. Not everybody needs dates and shit on their watch. Explorer is an excellent no bullshit watch that works for playing football or dressing up for a party.

>>17560255
I'll never understand the point of a watch that just shows the time. Day/date takes up next to no space, and is miles more useful.

>>17560263
Not really. Up until fairly recently you couldn't even get them in precious metals. Almost every change to them over the years was utilitarian rather than cosmetic.

>>17560266
>I also hate that you have to reset it every 2 months.
You don't sync the time at least that often? I don't really see it as an issue when it's so easy, you just pull the crown and turn it once or twice.

>>17560266
I agree that in a lot of cases day and date are done in really ugly ways that ruin the aesthetic of a watch, like when they just have a tiny square cut out that shows a tiny number. It looks weird. But sometimes when they get the shape and size and numerals just right and they put the right magnifier over it it can set the whole watch off.

>>17560240
>Is this what people really believes happens?
Unfortunately, yes. They have too much social anxiety to actually walk into a store and find out for themselves.

If you walk into a store, they will be helpful and ask if you need anything. If you say "No, I'm just browsing" they'll leave you alone. (After like two hours, they might ask you to leave, since now you're just loitering).
If you act like you escaped your enclosure at the zoo, loudly hooting, you will also be asked to leave.

But if you show up in jeans and a t-shirt, they won't care. They'll answer questions, let you try on pieces and if you decide "you need a little time to mull it over" they will helpfully give you their card and insist you call them if you have any questions.

>>17560273
>You don't sync the time at least that often?
Nah, I self regulate my watch by laying it in different positions over night. I'm usually at -1/+1s vs my master clock.

>>17560273
I more blame the retards that designed the calendar and distributed 30, 31, and 28 day months literally randomly throughout the year.

>he doesn't know about the International Fixed Calendar.

>>17560283
>all status.

Partially status. It's about not doing research. Most watch buyers are not fucking autistic nerds. They're not obessively going over the differences of every different piece. They're not going to start posting wrist shots on social media. They know most people don't care that much.

>I'm successful.
>I've always wanted a nice watch...what's a nice watch? Rolex.
>OK, time to get a Rolex.

No need to overthink it.

>>17560291
Sounds excellent to me, but unfortunately I don't have the power to make the world use this.

Personally I'd say ditch time zones, too, and just have everyone on the same 24 hour GMT time. Like daylight saving time, it's not useful anymore to have time zones. The only argument anyone ever has against this is "BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO BE DARK AT 12AM!" But it's literally just a number, does it really matter if the sun rises at 2300 where you live? If you agree to start work at 1600 then you go to work at 1600, you know if that's day shift or night shift where you are.

What are some watches that are never discussed in these threads that you like?

For me, it's the Vulcain Cricket.

Dogshit calendar.

>>17560289
They alternate. It goes 31, then 28 because fuck february, then 31 again, then 30, 31, 30, 31, OH AUGUSTUS, 30, 31, 30, 31.

In an ideal world, we would've gotten rid of august's autism, and it would always alternate aside from february, which would have 29 days most years, and 30 in leap years. But nobody wanted to do that, for some reason.

>>17560298
>What are some watches that are never discussed
No watch is ever discussed.
Screeching about whether someone is seething is not a watch discussion.

The Cricket's pretty cool, though.

>>17560292
you're right. if rolex would start shipping their divers with like a powermatic 80, most won't even notice as long as they got their certificate and the logo on their watchface.

>>17559853
I would engage in sexual intercourse with her (if she allowed me to, of course, also providing I was not engaged in any other relationships at the time), if you know what I mean

>>17560292
It's pure NPC behaviour. You're acting like they give any thought to this at all, when in reality there is nothing going on inside the head of any consumer slave. It's pattern recognition, they see other people wearing watches, they think "what is the watch" and their mind goes to Rolex because that is what they have been taught to buy.

It's like trying to reason why an ant likes sugar.

>>17560295
>Personally I'd say ditch time zones
This would make GMT and world time watches useless.

>>17560307
>I want to buy a Rolex too...but for the RIGHT reasons, because I'm an independent thinker.

>>17560276
At the Rolex boutique in my city they don’t let you just browse around, they have a dedicated salesperson for each customer and will make you wait outside if there isn’t enough staff.

>>17560309
And nothing of value was lost.

>>17560263
>high gloss dial and white gold numerals
I know that most prefer the classic numerals of 1016, but I prefer the style introduced with the reference 14270, it reminds me of the 90s

>>17560292
I think this is part of what makes people so angry about Rolex. Some middle-class Eric is scrimping and saving and dreaming about his future Explorer, posting about it on Rolexforums. Meanwhile someone else just up and buys one without even understanding ALL THE HISTORY! DON'T YOU EVEN KNOW WHY THE DIAL FURNITURE IS WHITE GOLD? CORROSION RESISTANCE, YOU ENTITLED FUCK! GIVE ME YOUR WATCH, I EARNED IT!! AAAAAAH!!!

>>17560312
Do you live in an area with lots of niggers?

>>17560310
You wouldn't catch me dead wearing a watch made by mountain kikes.

>>17560312
Same here. (Las Vegas, Nevada) Some boutiques do it, some don't. They started doing it during the coof for spacing and just kept it because apparently people like the one-on-one service.

Probably good for keeping the autistic riffraff away too. If you're too retarded to make small talk with a stranger, you might have a seizure in the middle of the store and then they have to call the paramedics and everyone's morning is ruined.

>>17560315
You should check the comments on Rolex IG page, it's full of seething boomers who can't stand the wait for their Submariner.
I have to use LinkedIn a lot for my job and it's even funnier there. A while ago there was this one dude who kept spamming Rolex posts with shit like
>I WAS PROMISED A GMT MASTER II BY MY AD, ROLEX NEEDS TO FIX THIS, WHERE IS MY GMT MASTER???? REEEEEEEEE
The best part is Rolex' community manager is just ignoring them kek

>>17560017
Go for the mido, if you are going to get one of those ceritinas you should get a quartz model, eta makes some nice high accuracy quartz models (±20 seconds a year) and then uses them almost exclusively in certinas.

This thing has been on my mind for a while now.
Basically, how did people pre quartz era, when somewhat accurate timepieces weren't that common, correct their timepieces?
I guess if u lived near Big ben or something you'd be able to know.

Anyone have experience with protection film? There's a place that does them for a reasonable price but they are across the country and want me to send the watch in. Should I just sent it in or wait for my vacation where in Asia it can be done in a few hours while you're at the store. I want to wear it but I honestly do not want to wear it without the film.

I like the story of the banker who sets the bank clock by the break bell at a mill. I might butcher it, but the long and short of it is the banker wakes up and goes to work at the bank and every morning he sets the work clock to the whistle from the mill that signals it's time for break at noon. One day the mill foreman went into the bank and the banker asked him how they set the break whistle and the foreman said every day on the way to work he syncs his watch to the time on the bank clock so he knows he has the right time and knows when to call break.

It's more of an allegorical story about echo chambers and feedback loops and shit, but still.

>>17560347

haha, that's the nick name of my dominatrix

why are there so many skinny guys with skelly arms wearing gshocks?

>>17560389
I think a huge portion of watch autists are little stringy dudes. It's really common to see watch people saying their wrist circumference is under 6.5 inches.

>>17559751

>>17560389

6.25" wrists btw

Which one?

>>17560462

>>17560334
There was a family of wretches in England that pooled all their money together to afford a very particular kind of exceptionaly accurate, for the time, pocketwatch usually only bought by the Admiralty because its great cost.
Every morning the matriarch of the family would travel by train to the Greenwich observatory (aka GMT time source) to set the watch, and would travel back to London by the opening of the day. Businesses bought a daily subscription from her and she'd go around on foot and flash them her watch with "THE CORRECT TIME" to which they'd set their much less accurate watches or clocks.
They held this monopoly for like 50 years or something.

4. Perfect middleground.

The memes about Rolex ADs are true. The AD I got two rollies from was seething when I sold my
Rolex (sold at loss because issues with the seadweller fit) and was pressuring me to buy some crap from his side business. Unfollowed on the gram as well.

They’re pretty cool watches but buying gray is so comfy. They genuinely want you to lick their ass for a Rolex.

> listened to this dude talk for hours instead of buying anything. Bretty cuck stuff all around.

Too bad I wear nothing but casual clothes would really just like a neat dress watch.

Thanks anon, interesting opinion

>>17560389
Its mostly people's first watch in general, maybe they will grow, dunno. Or most watch nerds are really skinny and fragile, which is still better than being obese summo double chin motherfucker.
I wear an old nippon model g511 d I bought in middle school, when I train and its still comically gigantic, but it never bothered me. When I got into watches, I discovered that 40+ diameter is a problem, apparently.
I dont even have really big wrists i circumference, but they are flat and wide. My fists are big and I'm bulky, so I kinda make it work, and something elegant like damasko ds32 looks like a toy, dont get me started on nomos or basic hamiltons etc. Basically, it depends on overall frame, I think.

>>17560258
Based.
Honestly this is the final redpill about watches.
This "hobby" is so fucking cringe. Like, have you ever met a watch guy who wasn't a huge faggot? Is there a single watch YouTuber who doesn't sound like a complete retard? Most of you in these threads sound obsessed and unhappy, like a bunch of fucking junkies.
Watches are not that interesting to begin with, and most of them are ugly, too flashy or weird.
>durrrr muh finishing, muh column wheel
FUCK THAT
Just get a Datejust, Explorer or Submariner and find happiness in flexing on others.
Fuck watches honestly.

>>17560578
Also if you care that mido is one of the most affordable traveler or "true gmt" module watches it works the way watches like rolex gmt models do instead of working like watches with the typical affordable eta gmt movements do.

>>17560642
49mm lug to lug, measure your fucking wrist properly. Assuming a wrist width of 55mm, you're at a 90% ratio, which is within the 75-95% zone. Personally, I wouldn't wear anything over an 85%, but you could get away with it. What you won't get away with is how bulky it looks, I've yet to see any wrist comparison metrics that take into account how big the watch case is. Those squares are like 13mm thick.

>>17560642
No it's fine. They measure their watches weirdly so they sound bigger than they are. It fits fine on even a 6in wrist without overhang

/fa/gots

>>17559973
This is what someone with no watchs worth above 500 usd would type. Pathetic. I will be wearing my Tudor Black Bay 41mm METAS burgundy dial jubilee in no time. Stay mad.

If you're a man that:

With the SKX013 being dead, are there any divers out there of a smililar size?

>>17560741
No

>>17560741
Tandorio 37mm is smaller, 41mm lug to lug. You can buy the watch for about 70 bucks, or the case for about 30 bucks and fit your own dial and movement.

What is the thinnest diver per meter of water resistance out there?

>>17560741
BLACK BAY 54

>>17560751
I think if you want high water resistance, you're not really going to get a very thin watch. Pretty trivial to get 100m out of a sub 9mm diver, and it's pretty easy to get 300m out of a 13mm watch.

>>17560751
There is some meme diver with a quartz movement and sawtooth belzel that is like 7mm thick, i forget the brand

>>17560595
I've had quite a few watches over the years, but slowly but surely my G-Shock has had more time on my wrist.
I got a job at an aquarium about two and a half years ago and it's not left my wrist since.
There are probably watches that are cheaper that offer enough water resist to have my hands in a foot of saltwater or bang it against the back of a tank, but It Just Works™

Absolutely fucking unhinged shit.

>>17560759
29.4117647059m of WR per mm thickness
>>17560762
44.8430493274m of WR per mm thickness+
>>17560764
329.67032967m of WR per mm thickness

>>17560768
1m of WR per mm of thickness = 1 Thicc

>>17560768
then they shouldve made the omega 1mm thick, 330m of water resistance is already plenty enough

>>17560826
Get the watch you actually want more.

>>17560826
Tudor is literally for people on food stamps. I recently saw a walmart cashier with a black bay. Its a disposable Rolex wannabe. If youre 16 and your looking for your first watch then go for the tudor.

>>17560840
>I recently saw a walmart cashier
That means you were in a Walmart, which means you're also poor.

>>17560842
Never said anything to the contrary. I am poor thats why I can only afford 10k watches. Thats also why I shop at Walmart.
Have you seen the people wesring Rolexes? Most arent well off. At least Im not human scum like cashiers or cleaning ladies who wash my dirty toilets at work, Im a few steps above in the pecking order. Real luxury starts at 50k.
Im working on my situation though. Later this year I will go back to college and get my masters.

any way i can find out what movement this Citizen has?

>>17560860
Probably the cheapest possible quartz movement. You can try looking up the reference (if it even has one) or that number at the bottom of the dial.

what do you think ?
how do i recognize a poo shit from genuine watches ?
