I hate _______

what tools do I need if I want to make my own watch from parts? how do you find a dial that is compatible with both the movement and the case?

>>17568213
jews

>>17568214
I would suggest you do an SKX mod from scratch to get the hang of building watches. It's the single most modded watch, there are tonnes of parts and tutorials on how to do it out there, and it's relatively cheap.

>>17567832
Take the Islander pill

>>17568228
Do you make these or something?
No one cares and they’re ugly as shit

>>17568234
Advertisement by the ugly bastard making them (or rather contracting from China)

>>17568214
The cases will usually list both movements that fit, and dial size.

A fairly standard combo is the NH35/36, and the ubiquitous 28.5mm dial, which fits most cases. You also have to get a movement with the crown at the right position for the case if you're using a day/date wheel, the wheels are offset.

As an example, my case fits a 28.5mm dial. The actual visible dial area is 28.1mm, because the edge is cut off by the case a bit, which is typical.

As for parts, you don't need much, and most are useful for basic maintenance anyway. A caseback opener, bracelet resizing pins, watch hand removers, watch hand appliers, a springbar tool, finger cots, foam swabs, Rodico, that's about it.

You can get most of this stuff inexpensively, here's some random shit I bought. Fancier tools are better, but you can do just fine with cheap stuff if you're slightly more careful.

>>17568232
Nice, but way too big. Looks like a dinner plate.

THIS. I fucking love most of IWC's designs but why do they make them so big? WHY THE FUCK IS IT >41mm? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

17568228
disgusting and embarrassing, no (You) for you

Cope if you must, and you will.

>>17568218
Hmm... I'm gonna go with "based" on that one

>>17568307
Those are all new watches, should have spent that money on vintage digitals

>>17568291
would it be a better watch if it was 39mm? Absolutely

But it’s the next best chronograph until the Patek 5170, and that’s gonna set you back about $75K

>>17568307
imagine owning such a large pile of trash instead of just putting it in the bin where it belongs

I'm not sure if i can believe that, did they just make this shit up?

>>17568350
Maybe, but it's totally believable, have you never met a pajeet?

>>17568325
I got a silver databank from 1989, jap made. That one started the collection a few years back. I'm building the foundation first and getting shitters that are readily available when on sale before moving on to devoting and money to the more rare ones you have to trawl auction sites for.
>>17568329
I accept your poorfag cope.

>>17568355
There is a pajeet that sells tea in my town and i've probably seen a few in my capital, but othewise no, no pajeets here. Same goes for niggers.

>>17568232
I just dont understand whey they cut the 12 and 6 in half. It wouldve been perfect

>>17568360
I mean, I own the IWC.
Don’t your plastic shitters cost like $35 each?

>>17568327
>But it’s the next best chronograph until the Patek 5170

Why do you say that? Genuinely curious. I do not know much about Chronographs.

>>17568355
I am white but my dad took me to India and I have a good Indian friend and they seemed to be pretty conservative in their spending and didn't really seem to care for brands much, unlike Chinks.

>>17568327
I fucking love Furlan Marri.

>>17568385
I just fucking love black dial chronographs and the 5170 is a grail watch. It’s just opinion.

is the orient kamasu good

yeah, no.

>Rolex opening 3 new Factories to supply the high demand
>They will be fully operational in 2025
So end of the grey market clownery in sight?

>>17568403
for what it costs yes, on par with Seiko Sport 5 of the same price, maybe slightly better but very marginally.

>>17568416
the bubble will pop and rolex will be acquired by swatch group due to debt load

>>17568423
Unless Rolex directly profits from the grey market (it would be very illegal if can be proven), I just foresee the watch flippers become extinct.

>>17568430
Why would it be illegal?

>>17568237
It's obviously not Marc, retard. Just someone that recommends the watches.

>>17568307
unironically could be a good investment. i bet if you have all the boxes and papers and keep them in pristine condition you could easily 100x your money in 40-50 years.

Lads I think I'm starting to like the look of diver watches...
This can't be happening...

Whats a decent < $100 summer watch for a 7 inch wrist?
By summer I mean casual, not too bulky, can be worn to the beach and on evenings out. Ability to swap straps preferred but not essential
Couldn't care less about the movement or other features, I'm talking aesthetics here
Something like a Timex Weekender or picrel

>>17568591
Whatever you like the look of? Anything that isn't a gimmicky smartwatch has a replaceable strap, in the sub 100 dollar mark there are a million quartz shitters to choose from. Aim for something around the 36-38mm size.

>>17568586
Divers can be pretty hit and miss, personally I don't think they're the best looking style of watch, but I really appreciate the utility of a diving bezel.

>>17568591

>>17568218
>>17568308

>>17568586
That’s when you know you’re in too deep.
Don’t fall for the diver meme, every non-watch person in the world thinks is ugly as shit

so hot

>>17568586
tastes change over time. I used to think dress watches were too boring and formal, now I wear one most of the time.

you're retarded

You guys DO know how to use your GMT watch as a compass, don't you?

>>17568651
You don't need a GMT function to use a watch as a compass.

>>17568627
the only watch I got comments on was my #rolex because it was recognizably a #rolex, I'm saying this as a confirmation of your point about nice vs noticeable

>>17568651
Imagine not just having a watch with a compass bezel.

Specifically this one, unfortunately they don't make anything that even remotely resembles it currently, maybe the occasional oversized limited reissue.

Help, I am in a "jacket" situation like Tony was in The Sopranos.

My grandparents are in their 80's and my grandmother just recently discovered her grandfather's pocket watch. She is offering it to me, and by offering, I mean insisting. I do not want the fucking thing, but I know if I turn it down she is going to see it as a slight against her (she's that sort of woman). And likewise, if I take it, I am going to have to wear it every time I meet them going forward because she's going to fixate on me wearing it. You might think this is bullshit, but she once bought me a tie for Christmas several years ago and expected me to wear every time I met her. When eventually I stopped wearing it, she tried to convince my grandfather I didn't love them and that they should cut off all ties (heh) with me.

That was a 20 dollar tie, this is a watch that's over a century old. I really don't know what to do about this. If I don't take it, she'll act like I just directly insulted her. If I do take it, I have to wear it at every meeting I have with them until they die.

>>17568876
Yes, trannies and faggots belong to >>>/lgbt/

>>17568878
This is as close as they have come to a reissue in recent years and it's not even close to the original

Everyone out in this thread trying to flex with their $20,000 watches and I'm enjoying ONE of my sub-$15 watches.

>beep beep
its 2pm.

>>17568879
What's nice about a pocket watch is you can just shove it in a jacket pocket and forget about it. If they ask about it, you can pull it out. But the bigger issue is if they want to see it ticking, because then you have to remember to wind that shit, and set the time on it.

>>17568888
Nothing is stopping you spending just a little bit more and getting something a bit neater, you don't have to spend 10k on a rolex.

>>17568895
I like my F105 :)
The light is perfect, size excellent, thin case, durable, inexpensive, comfortable to wear all day, beeps at you, alarm, timer, perpetual calendar. What is better?

>>17568895
As it is, it's completely unwearable (severe delamination, yellowing), I haven't seen it in motion yet but I'd be willing to bet that it is in no way functional. I suspect she wants me to pay to have it fixed up, which is why she asked me to take it in such a condition. It's basically a white elephant.

>>17568879
This: >>17568895 And when she asks if you're wearing the watch just take it out of the pocket and say "of course, how else would I know it's TIME to visit grandma?" Every single time. See how quick she stops asking about the watch.

>>17568903
Get a bulky jacket. Nobody has to see it in an inner pocket. You are fucked if they want to see it working again though.

>>17568902
I found the F91 just a bit too small, and I have tiny wrists. The strap isn't very good and it looks weird on anything else, the buttons are agony to press, and the beeping is annoying. I wore an AE1200 for a decade though, that was a nicer size.

>>17568228
They're honestly nice but the logo ruins it

>>17568929
It doesnt have a logo on the dial

Do you mean the 12'oclock marker?

>>17568818
Have you SEEN what a tudor looks like IRL? They look like ass. Grand oignons any day

>>17568240
absolutely based

>>17568957
yeah I tried on the bb58 and it looked alright. It didn't look like a 5,000 dollar watch but no watch looks like it's worth a lot unless it's solid gold.

>>17568985
Try the white birch as well and see which one suits you better.

I really like how this watch looks like, but it only lasts 12 hours.
Would it be sacrilege to replace the mechanical movement inside it with a quartz one?
I bought it for ~150 euros in Russia a few years ago. How much do you think i could sell it for? I'm reaaaally considering the quartz movement though.

>>17568993
why not service it and bring the power reserve to 30+ like, I imagine, it should be

>>17568995
I did that.. most shops wouldn't take it. Then one did and replaced the spring... Lo and behold, it did nothing :(

So whats the verdict on Sinn watches?
How are their movements?

About to buy this German shitter but dont want to make a mistake

This is true heritage. A watch bought by a loving mother.

>>17568879
Your grandmother just wants you to have something to remember her by when she's gone. Take the damn watch, she's going to be dead soon anyways. Is it really that much trouble to bring it with you when you see her?

>>17569001
sinn is garbage buy a tudor instead

>>17569022
It's ok as a watch, but the only Lotus i approve of is a car.

>>17569001
I have a bunch of Sinn watches, three from the ETA years and one Sellita. My take is if you're going to spend 2k on a Sinn you may as well save up a bit more and get something nicer, but if you just want a cheap beater I don't think you can go wrong with something like a used 656 if you like the looks of it. I don't think you need more than one, either.

silly question, but if the watch is in the center of my wrist on top, where should the bracelet clasp be?

>>17569054
Up your ass, Seikofaggot poorfag

>>17569054
I care more about where the trifold falls than the clasp itself, I want the bend of it to be as close to my wrist as possible so the bracelet doesn't bulge out unnaturally.

Personally, I wear bracelets backwards. I find it suits my wrist better, I find them easier to put on and take off, and I don't care about the logo being "upside down". The problem with those small clasps is they can get pretty off to one side, this is why I like longer clasps because the clasp weighs less than links, and they're always going to look pretty central because it's impossible to have them too far to one side.

>>17569057
Not really sure what my net worth has to do with watches but alright.

>>17569057
THIS, FUCK SEIKOFAGS UGH SHINJI HATTORI RAPED MY MOM AAAAAAAAAAA HATTORI KISAMAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>17569059
Yeah, on my Parnis the trifold hinge digs into my wrist and I'm not certain how to fix it. After wearing it for a while theres usually an indent where the hinge is.

>>17569054
Generally around the center on the opposite side, but with some leeway for you to put it wherever you find it comfortable.

>>17569057
NTA but I know rich guys who wear Seikos (and not GS).

>>17569064
You might be able to bend it a bit, but if it's digging in I'd start by taking one link off one side and then adding it to the other. Bracelet stays the same length, but the clasp will move. If you don't have any more links, often one side of the strap is shorter to begin with, so you can flip it around at the lugs and switch the clasp over.

>>17569067
The richest guy I know (wealth on par with the GDP of a minor country) doesn't wear a watch, at least not that I've seen. His wife wears a cartier though.

The second richest guy I know (net worth is probably high eight figures) wears a pulsar. I don't know what his wife wears.

Otherwise, among the "rich guys" I know who wear watches, the overwhelming majority wear something "nice". By "rich guys" I mean like $250k or higher annual income or enough money to not have to ever worry about an "income" per se.

The real best watch to buy is the one that you like the most and feel comfortable paying for. No matter what you get you'll find people online that like it, and other people that don't like it. It doesn'y matter and in real life you'll find that the vast majority of people won't even notice your watch.

Fanboy-ism is going to be found in almost all online communities for consumer goods. Apple fans vs PC vs Linux, Xbox vs Playstation, Porsche vs BMW, etc etc.
Watches are no exception

>>17569096
Dufour is a hack

>>17569054
dude swap that strap out immediately
there's so many great aftermarket straps out there

>>17569071
Unfortunately its a leather strap with that giant tri-bend nonsense, its like they made it for women's wrists contour and the hinge is like I said denting into the bottom of my wrist.

>>17569131
Why? What is wrong with metal bracelets on watches?

>>17568888
checked and based

>>17569080
With that budget you should buy a Casio Oceanus T200. Objectively one of the best quartz watches in existence.

>>17569054
Ideally you want the clasp centered on the inside of your wrist but it's fine if it's off-center a bit

I agree with the other anon, there's tons of aftermarket bracelets for Seiko that are much better than the stock bracelet and clasp. Checkout strapcode.com they have some excellent stuff.

>>17569154
Oh, it's a deployment clasp? Yeah, those are tough. Depending on the strap construction you could make it a bit shorter at the end and make a new hole for the clasp to go through.

>>17569166
This is where the hinge is while wearing normally, that hinge pin results in a bit of a hot spot.

Local store charging 9900 usd for this explorer ii yikes. At least it has box and papers and is in good shape

>>17569175
I don't think this can be bent, I may get frustrated and bend it and replace the strap if it comes to it.

>>17569191
Damn that's uncomfortable just looking at it

>>17569175
If it's stainless steel you could probably bend it slightly so it's not digging into your wrist so much

>>17569203
Yeah, if you see the prior photo, if I make it really tight that upturn on the hinge starts going up the vertical side of my wrist, but the strap is just too tight. Its what makes me think because its made in china it was designed with small men with tiny wrists. Its my first automatic and I kinda like it for more formal wear, but the strap isn't great which at the end of the day isn't a big deal.

>>17569001
good watches if you can find them used and at fair values, but what Sinn has been doing over the last few years is wild by raising their prices to near Rolex entry levels and mid range Omega levels.

i don’t understand why someone would buy a new Sinn watch these days when you can walk into an Omega boutique and purchase a far superior watch with 5 year warranties. most lower end Sinn watches have a 2 year warranty.

>>17569187
It’s officially certified, that alone justifies the price

>>17569187
fuck no unless you like the old indices

>>17569240

>>17569282
Neat. I think my orient is about 5 years old now. I like it, seems like Japanese movement, chinese assembled is okay. Its not the best watch ever, but if its within your budget you'll be happy.

>>17569318
I like the idea of a wood watch, it just doesn't make sense as jewelry unless you're using really high quality hardwood hand finished because that'd take actual craftsmanship but its ultimately not durable and therefor disposable.

Good on them for doing something different than getting some jellybean parts from a supplier in china and reselling it for $200, but the only non normal part is the (cheap)wood.

>>17569323
Idk, i'll try but yea maybe it will never sell

Seiko slapped their old mediocre NE-88 chronograph on a sprrongdrive and called it a new movement. The ne88 is a cheapo chronograph movment you can find in $900 microbrand shitters and the minute counter subdial is sweeping, it doesn't even snap from minute to minute.

>>17569412
Huh. I didn't really like their new chronograph anyways but I expected better from GS... especially surprising how much their spokesman was hyping up the new movement to hear that it's just some cheap-o movement they polished up

8 years ago they debuted this piece of shit in a fucking Vostok, of all things, for $2,400.

>>17569417
If it's just a module inside their movement than it's not like the entire thing is some cheap shitter off-the-shelf movement that they just added spring drive tech to. I guess for the huge pricetag I understand why people are upset. But after reading this pic it doesn't seem as controversial as I first thought.

>>17569424
Then read this: >>17569423

>>17569427
But the other pic said it was just a module from the the NE88 movement that was used, not the entire thing. Plus the NE88 is a Seiko movement, so they are just taking a part of another watch movement and using it on their new chrono

Sure they cheaped out a bit and cut corners to save money which is a bit shady considering the high price. But it's not that juicy of a controversy I don't think. It's still an in-house column wheel chrono with spring drive which is pretty neat. Maybe in the years to come they will improve the movement further if it sells well enough.

>>17569423
oh holy shit WHAT were they thinking

I will never buy a Grand Seiko, I know that now. All yellows are to be distrusted.

>>17569457
the only ones that interest me are the GMT steel sports models with the 9F movement. those are genuinely based

Not really a watch guy, but I recently had the opportunity of buying a Zodiac Super Sea Wolf 53 new for $500. Was it worth the price or should I return it?

>>17569487
flip it

>>17569175
try to swap the straps sides, maybe it would wear better that way

Seamaster 300 vs Grand Seiko SBGA203

for a one watch collection?

>>17569523
if you have archies horns, get the semen to match those ugly crowns
otherwise GS

>>17569523
this one

>>17569523
I'd get the GS personally.

>>17568661
You hang around the wrong people then.

>>17569265
Looks like tritium or whatever it is that changes colour, which is part of why they're charging out the ass. Go for it if you like it, I guess. They won't become cheaper.

>>17569033
Best divers watch for under 500 EUR? Preferably under 40mm and automatic or solar
Prefer a simple classic look like the submariner, nothing too complicated

>>17569523
GS. Seamaster always looked cartoonish to me.

not spring drive
they've been making spring drive chronographs for a long time. the tentagraph is their first MECHANICAL chronograph

>>17569523
Seamaster

>>17569527
at that pricepoint they really shouldn't be aping rolex's font.

Opinions on christofer ward? I like the look of their models, the value seems good, but I cant put my finger on what is off. Anyone had experience with them?

>>17569635
They're essentially just better looking Omega clones. In my mind, they've always been fashion shitters, but their newer stuff is looking more and more microbrand. The logo is absolutely atrocious though, I don't know why they didn't just shorten it to "Ward" or something. Looks like a fucking Atari game.

>>17569635
>but I cant put my finger on what is off
Its their name. Sounds like some cheap shitter like Daniel Wellington

>>17569635
>I cant put my finger on what is off.
Their ridiculous logos. New one always worst than the last.

Opinions on the kraut watches DEKLA?
Are they a good Sinn alternative or is it a teutonic ploy to get my hard earned Deutschen Mark

>but look at the shiny zarathustra polishing

>Buy expensive watch
>Doesn't fundamentally make me happy

What the hell

>>17569663
a watch is not a magical happy device

>>17569651
The 2824 is the biggest meme movement ever. The goymatic is a perfectly fine replacement for it, even if the plastic parts make you start screaming because "muh swiss heritage muh swatch corp can't do this to me". Enjoy that 200 dollar service, buddy.

>>17569399
Why change it if it works? What were they supposed to do, invent a completely new module from scratch while disregarding everything they have learned? What is mechanically wrong with it?

>>17569211
I wouldn't be surprised if Sinn goes out of business in the next decade. They need to keep well below Omega in terms of pricing while turning out workhorse watches like the EZM 1, and they're not quite doing that. RIP Lemania 5100

>>17569683
Are there any good alternatives to the 556 though? I get people recommending stowa ot laco none of them have the Sinn look that makes Sinn unique.
Open to everything but dont see myself spending over 1.3k for a entry Sinn with a 2824

>>17569691
Yeah I would not buy a new 556 for that price. I got the 556 I M last year and I regret it, it's a nice enough watch but I should have saved my money

Been looking at this one for a while. Anyone here got experience with microbrands in general? I assume I could get it serviced anywhere as it's running on a sellita movement.

>>17569642
>>17569643
>>17569644
Actually, you all are right, lmao. The whole logo and name irks me subconsciously

>>17569663
Maybe you should have bought a Rolex.
Mine makes me happy because I know I'm wearing the only brand that matters.

>>17569715
The 2020 sub looks great, much more appealing to me than the abomination known as the 114040

>>17569647
Dekla is an (slightly archaic) way of saying "a girl" and it also means "a woman servant on a farm" here, while "deka" translates to "blanket" so any time i'd look at this watch i'd think of those three, so that'll have to be a no from me.

>>17569647
Looks ok though, if maybe a bit flat. I'd say you would be better off with a Stowa or a Sinn.

>>17568651
i can never remember is it something to do with the hour and twelve and midway point is north maybe?

>>17568714
wealthy actual boomers and fat cashed up chinks buy them to one up each other
they tide's turning as they no longer think it's cool
so only the stragglers that couldn't buy them before are buying them now
the joke's over and only those who didn't get that it was a joke in the first place still pay the retardo prices for them

>>17569651
>>17569671
is the 2824 a swap-in for this goymatics? or is it a completely different thing

>>17568209
Can anyone ID the watch on this Goober?

>>17569768
Good luck even finding a 2824 for a sensible price.

Imagine buying a crappy swiss watch with a mediocre 200 dollar movement when you could get a seiko with a 30 dollar movement instead, and get identical performance with a watch that will likely have replacement parts forever.

Hi /fa, first time posting.

I'll be turning 35 at the end of the month and have been thinking about buying a Seiko Presage Automatic watch.
A few stores now have them around under $600AUD, normally around $850.

I am thinking either a regular Presage or either the white or blue faced Zen Garden design watches.
Probably the leather band as I recently bought a Citizen automatic with metal band a few months ago from a trip to Japan.
I bought a Citizen Eco-drive watch for a wedding late last year, but otherwise my daily wear is a Casio G-shock G7900.

I guess really I'm wanting one because it's cheap.

Should I?

What is with you people that you always want to buy these open-heart watches with a frickin hole in the dial? Every single time.

>>17569780
are these movements really that similar?

EW NO YOU FUCKING TASTELET

You mean the NH36?

>>17569807
Do yourself a favor and dont get this.
Open hearts are tasteless. Why would you even want to look at a entry level Jap shitter movement.

Is Datejust 36 a good choice as a dress watch? I'm thinking of grabbing a rep of it

>>17569833
I think you should grab my cock and stroke it instead.

>>17569836
Oh look we got a big boy here eh. Kill yourself faggot. I wear a tank and I would rip you to shreds faggot

>>17569824
The goymatic is more accurate out of the box, but the typical +/-5 seconds a day is pretty achievable on a regulated 30 dollar Seiko.

>>17569836
Sure your faggy open heart is much manlier.

>>17569837
>PMSing hard.

>>17568748
I mean pretty based desu. Michelangelo was pretty homosexual and most art has been an excuse to mainline degeneracy.

Historically, subversive elements were introduced under the guise of religiosity. "Oh haha, yeah I drew Adam and Eve naked haha, nice big titties haha you know they were naked right haha?" "Oh yeah all the goddesses in the judgement of paris? Totally naked chicks haha nbd no problem"

Then it's bullshit about "exploring the human form" whatever. Today it'll be a chick shitting chocolate pudding out of her asshole while deep throating Satan's dick and it'll be "a feminist commentary on the oppressive patriarchal capitalist heteronormative hegemony".

It's all an excuse to have a bunch of subversive shit and pretend like you're sophisticated for looking at it.

>>17569843
I will bust a nut on your face lil chuddy

>>17569812
Thanks for replying.
I'm not really that big on the open heart thing, as I said above, the normal Presage range is also in consideration.

>>17569826
I'd love to get a more expensive watch, but I can't really justify paying that much for a watch.
Hence why I've been using my G-shock that my wife bought me for my birthday 14 years ago.

>>17569832
I don't need a watch, but I thought it would be nice to get something for myself.

However, I'm open to suggestions as long as they're around the $600-$800.

>>17569837
>I wear a tank
post it with a timestamp

>>17569853
Better go for the normal ones, the open heart is a gimmick that gets old fast.

>>17569548
Tritium stopped on like 1999 I read online.

>>17569807
I don't like much in the current presage line up. If you did want to go down the open dial route I think the one without roman numerals is the far better design

>>17569853
You should look into Nomos, the Seiko Dolce, Sinn, Longines, etc.

>>17569865
>Nomos
nigger lover tranny brand

In a perfect world all watches but Rolex would be confiscated and made illegal. Only Rolex owners would be able to know the exact time.
That way if poorfags wanted to know what time it is they had to go to Rolex owners who (for a small fee) would tell them the time.

Quite a few people have told me i have a nice rolex, LOL.
feels hefty on your wrist, if you ever see one , its worth it. these chinks have been making fake rolex's for so long i think they by making a good clone.
PS its quartz so it keeps good time etc.

>>17570068
No one really knows

I feel like I'd like to get a Hamilton Ventura just because it's something different and I can larp as a MIB agent, but only the quartz version seems to have an option for a bracelet and it's the shitty stretch-o-matic spring loaded kind of bracelets all my grandpa's watches from the fuckin 60s and 70s used to be on that pull all your arm hair out.
