Thinking about getting this as my first watch, there's a medical convention in July that I'm going to and I want to dress nicely. I'm mostly going to be wearing black, gray, red, and blue over the three days I'll be there.

Of all the watches I own, this Marathon is the one I keep going back to. Could you recommend me something in the same vein albeit somewhat of an upgrade?

Then why do you want to wear a blacked out sports watch designed for 13 year olds?

>>17646593
You should go for something a bit more dressier.

>>17646646
It's no black out, dumbass.

>>17646644
And before your say it, I know that this would be the obvious answer, but I'm not paying one grand for a second hand Seiko, and the reissue is unnecessarily larger, doesn't have a chapter ring, and movement is not as nice, so there

What options do niBBas with non-standard lug widths have, apart from rocking undersized straps? I've got a vintage Air-King and that fucker has 19mm lugs so neither 18 nor 20 look quite right.

>>17646998
I've got an old Air-King too, I thought it was 18mm though. Either way, you can get 19mm straps.

How do you like the new Zenith pilot watches? I love them, they give strong Aquanaut vibes... Not sure if I prefer the steel or black cases just yet. Also wish the big date was also on the standard version. Either way I think zenith is on its way up lately

>>17647205
if you have to ask, its the latter

Pulled the trigger

>>17647313
>Either way I think zenith is on its way up lately
They've got a couple of nice pieces, their El Primero Daytona rip-off is quite nice.
They don't seem like a company that has a lot of successful designs, though. They generate a TON of different designs but few of them land.
I fear that they might become the El Primero company in the same way that AP is the Royal Oak company.

As for the big date Pilot chronograph, it actually fits very comfortably. It looks big and clunky, but it's quite thin.

>>17647313
They look good. I agree they need a big date on the non-chrono watch, the date window is my only complaint.
>>17647325
> I fear that they might become the El Primero company in the same way that AP is the Royal Oak company.
They have been that for years. The Daytona homage was relentlessly mocked and they tried rebranding with the Defy which was interesting but flopped horribly.

$25k btw. Baffling.

>>17647348
Hublot tier

>>17647348
>>17647351
It's hideous, yes, but there's actually a lot of hand-work that goes into it. Zenith does skeletonization pretty well. Additionally, there's no economy of scale. They'll sell, maybe, 1000 of them over the model's lifetime but they still have to set up the tooling to make the cases, crowns, etc.

Compare to, say, Rolex, who make hundreds of thousands of steel DateJusts. They amortize the costs of the tooling much more rapidly.

>>17647362
I’m sure it’s well made. My problem with Zenith has never been the quality, it is with their design language which varies from inconsistent to outright schizophrenic, and I really don’t like how lots of their watches look like homages to either the Royal Oak or Royal Oak Offshore.

>>17647134
Hello Frisco!

>>17647366
>My problem with Zenith has never been the quality, it is with their design language which varies from inconsistent to outright schizophrenic

We agree on this. To be sure, not every watch a company makes has to look exactly like every other watch they make, a la Rolex; and when a company has as long a history as Zenith there will be a huge variety.
However, they can't seem to decide if they want to be broadly classically-styled, or neo-vintage, or edgy and super-modern. This even extends to individual models, when they'll make a classically styled watch and then give it a modern rubber bracelet or make it comically oversized.

I would like to see them be able to maintain at least some consistency within product lines, as Breguet is able to do with the fully-modern Marine and Type XXII models, and fully classic Classique and Tradition models.
There are certainly enough good references in Zenith's catalog to do both.

And, in all fairness to Zenith, when they do a reissue, they do it right, without adding date complications that weren't in the original or making a 44mm watch out of something that was originally 37mm.

>>17647325
I agree that El Primero is getting overused, at least is just a movement rather than a specific model as the RO for Ap. Nice to read these pilots wear ok, as I would have preferred them to be a touch thinner and smaller.

>>17647366
At least they nail some design here and there, and more frequently lately imo. Defy, a38x revival and these Pilots are great examples. I just see all major manufacturers now either feel a bit stale by playing extra safe or stumble with some off designs by trying something new. While I appreciate the classics looks of the former, lately I'm more drawn by watches with a modern twist, without being too in your face. On this basis I think Zenith is on the right path compared say to Omega or Rolex which appear more stagnant with ideas.

That's stupid and shameful
Idiot Tissot

>>17647524
Pretty cool.
41mm but cushion cased so it should wear pretty small.
Neat strap/bracelet.
I'm glad they upped the water resistance to 300m.
Forged carbon is still pretty exotic for watches.
I like that they went back to the old Tissot logo.

The colored case of the old one was neat, but it was fiberglass. If they made it today, I would expect it to be colored ceramic.

They both look like toys and I expect that they will be sold as toys, like fun summer watches.

>>17647526
>>17647541
>Old is always better!
What's to stop you from buying a vintage one?

Also, you never even knew this thing ever existed, so you can't start clutching your pearls about Tissot bastardizing a classic design.
Like >>17647543 said, these are toys.

>>17647545
I have seen the old ones before. What always stopped me from trying to buy it is that most of the straps are falling apart.

>>17647545
>Old is always better!
No it's literally that everything they changed was for the worse.
The carbon case doesn't match the colorful rubber strap and the beach watch vibe it has going on. The T shaped counter weight is tacky as hell. The thick lettering on the bezel overpowers the rest of the watch even though it's the worst looking part. Somehow it looks even bigger than the OG too.
Frankly I wouldn't buy either so no horse in this race but that's one missed redesign.

>>17647411
I never use this expression, but this time is warranted:
Unfathomably based

>>17647606
What's the demographic? Tissot is a mall brand so surely not richfags.

>>17647533
If only this were an imageboard so you could post a picture here instead of directing us to some ad whoring spyware site.

>>17647620
Sure let me image dump the whole page just so you don't have to go there, am I getting paid to spoonfeed you?
Ever heard of adblockers?

Are you retards serious with this Tissot piece of shit? It looks like some shit a short bus retard would wear. Unironically it looks like you mailed 6 proofs of purchase to Eggos to redeem for this watch.

>>17647613
It's a shitty movement with plastic parts sold for pennies on the dollar to save a buck and fleece consumers that want their watches to be reparable for decades to come. Is that better?

>>17647619
Tissot is a mall brand, but they're still an old name so rich fags know about it. I know guys who own ten-thousand dollar plus watches who still bought a PRX because they thought it was a fun watch, for example.

The demographic for this is probably buyers who
- already own a number of watches and regularly switches them out
- total value of collection at least $10k
- are aware of/conversant in Swiss watch history
- are interested in 1970's watch style

If they'd intended this to be someone's one-and-only watch, they would have made a black-on-black version. This is not meant to be a huge seller like the SeaStar or PRX. This is meant to remind customers that Tissot has a long history of neat designs.

Im a bored dude from that plays with computers. If you want the password to someones Snapchat account, like you think your partner is cheating on you, or curious about something else, I dont mind trying it out. Ask me on my socials (my IDs are pinned in the top left of the picture)

>>17647627

Yes, very much so. Thank you.

>>17647626
This is a watch discussion thread. We are talking about a new watch that was recently released. No one here is serious about buying it and even the anons with the more reasonable takes probably don't actually like it, but that doesn't prevent us from having opinions on it.

Only because of the initial hype leading up to the release. Yeah, it was the most hyped watch of they year, but once people finally got them they were thoroughly disappointed with what an overcosted piece of shit it is. So it was one of the biggest failures of the year as well.

That watch was never meant to be worn by anyone. It was a recreation of a watch they made in the 1960s for combat divers. They actually made depth gauges and compasses in the 2000s as well that were similarly historically-sized.

tl,dr; Paneristi are retardisti

Do we like the Seamaster 300 Heritage? I am bigger fan of the Planet Ocean, personally.

>>17648167
There was another anon here who owned one. It looked better on his wrist.
It's a very different watch than the Planet Ocean. The SM300 is meant to be a vintage homage whereas the SMPO is meant to be a fully modern bigass diver.

I like the SM300 is no-date but still has the jump hour, which makes it a decent travel watch.

the spb143 is a great watch but every now and then I feel I need a dress(-ish) watch.

You just answered your own question. Buy your Citizen, sell your Seiko if you want to upgrade your diver.

Best cheapest place to buy Casio G-Shocks? Looking to buy picrel

Fuck, I was wandering around Ginza and could only find luxury shit. This would have never popped up on Google.

Even Nakano is mostly luxury. Jack Road is great but where the hell are all the vintage Seikos, Citizens, and Orients beyond a select few? Pic related.

>>17648489
Ginza SIX has Citizen boutique store. Might not find a vintage but I’m sure you’ll find some JDM

>>17647669

Why has no one made a chaper copy of this watch? Surely you can't trademade a generic dial like this?

not bad but I meant something that is not totally cheap

like something in the $500-$1000 range where it's well built

>>17647759
there is this but it's quartz

>>17648519
hundreds? no way.

>>17648523
I love the design but I've watched some videos on it and the quality seems to be bottom of the barrel

>>17647051
Why not both?

>>17648524
There are hundreds. Mostly quartz, but you didnt specify.

>>17648524
You can’t get a well built mechanical chrono for that price range

I just love the recessed subdials that have this small "ramp" like >>17648523 instead of just being holes like in >>17647759

is this way too specific?

>>17647664

>>17648541
Many chronos out there have recessed subdials. Not every one of course, but it shouldn't be too hard to find.

0/3 for this watch general

Some AI wisdom for you guys:

It is possible that the most well-known watches from a brand may not be the most sold models within that brand due to factors such as price, functionality, or consumer preferences. Here are ten examples to illustrate this point:

1. Rolex: The Rolex Submariner and Daytona are iconic watches, known for their appearances in various movies and often associated with celebrities. However, more affordable models like the Oyster Perpetual or Datejust tend to sell in higher numbers due to their lower price points and classic designs.

2. Omega: Omega's Speedmaster Professional, associated with NASA space missions, is a famous model. However, the Seamaster collection, particularly the Aqua Terra and Diver 300m models, may have higher sales figures due to their versatile design and broader appeal.

3. TAG Heuer: The Monaco watch is an iconic piece known for its association with Steve McQueen. In contrast, the more moderately priced Formula 1 and Carrera collections tend to be more popular sellers for their sporty, everyday wearability.

4. Patek Philippe: The Nautilus is perhaps one of the most recognizable luxury sports watches, but the more conservative Calatrava collection is more accessible in terms of price and availability, leading to higher sales numbers.

5. Audemars Piguet: The Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore collections are known for their octagonal design. However, the lesser-known, and less expensive, Millenary collection may have comparatively higher sales due to their unique design and relatively lower price.

>>17648561
6. Breitling: The Navitimer is a famous pilot's watch, but the Superocean dive watch collection caters to a broader audience and may have higher sales due to its wider price range and versatile design.

7. Cartier: The iconic Tank watch is a well-known design, but more recently, the Ballon Bleu collection has gained popularity, with models available in various sizes and prices, making it a more accessible choice for many buyers.

8. IWC: The Portuguese collection is well-known for its elegant design, but the more affordable Pilot's Watches line, featuring the Mark series and Pilot's Chronograph, is often more popular due to its lower price range and versatile style.

9. Panerai: The Luminor collection is known for its distinctive design, but the more affordable Radiomir collection, with similar aesthetics, may have higher sales figures as it appeals to a broader market.

10. Jaeger-LeCoultre: The Reverso is a popular model with its unique reversible case design. However, the Master collection, featuring watches like the Master Ultra Thin and Master Control, may sell more units due to their classic designs and broader appeal to different tastes.

It is crucial to note that watchmakers rarely release detailed sales figures of specific models, and these examples are estimates based on market trends and various factors affecting consumer preferences.

>>17648380
No, I meant brands that have fallen to the wayside that used to be mint. I do like Montblanc and what they've done with Minerva though.

>>17648415
Ideally it would be nice if everyone was independent, but we both know that's not possible. Swatch, Richmeont and LVMH are examples of good groups. Fossil and Movado are the epitomy of fashion watches. Invicta is Invicta and I don't know if Citychamp has done anything worthwhile.

>>17648561
Sure, here are 10 examples of how the most well-known watches are not always the most sold watches within the same brands:

1. Rolex: While the Rolex Submariner and Daytona are some of the brand's most famous watches, the Rolex Datejust is actually the brand's best-selling model.
2. Omega: The Omega Seamaster and Speedmaster are iconic watches, but the Omega Constellation is the brand's most popular model.
3. TAG Heuer: The TAG Heuer Carrera and Monaco are well-known models, but the Formula 1 is the brand's best-selling watch.
4. Breitling: The Breitling Navitimer and Chronomat are popular models, but the Colt is the brand's most sold watch.
5. Cartier: The Cartier Tank and Santos are iconic watches, but the Ballon Bleu is the brand's most popular model.

>>17648561
6. Patek Philippe: The Patek Philippe Nautilus and Calatrava are highly sought-after, but the Aquanaut is the brand's most sold watch.
7. IWC: The IWC Portuguese and Pilot's Watch are well-known models, but the Portofino is the brand's best-selling watch.

it just looks like a toilet

>>17648551
So watches that are built for harsh conditions like G-Shock along with Rolex is fine to wear in a sauna. I don’t see where I was wrong in saying that. Maybe you should realize the non-specific nature of the question before getting on your high horse. But since you’re so affluent enough to know how Rolex would handle, why don’t you take Lange 1 for a couple hours of sauna session

Not one thing you said was true.

Might be a Datejust but it might be the smaller Oyster Perpetual Date. I'd lean towards that, since the bracelet does not appear to have polished links.

>>17648652
>GS
>reasonably priced
Come on, anon. You can argue that looks are subjective. You can argue that GS are as well-made as anything else, but GS's prices have climbed into the ridiculous zone.

They were fairly priced when they were half the price of a Rolex, not equivalent.

I want

>>17648751
this watch!

>>17648751
>>17648753
Could've been so much better at
or under 38 mm

>>17648753
then buy it.

>>17648789
oh sorry, i should say i want it but don't want to pay.

I’m gonna loooom

>>17648802
Oh god I'm looooming!

Both ~£2000.
Which should I get for a watch to commemorate my wedding (I’ll be keeping this ~forever).

>>17648815
the one you like dipshit

>>17648812

>>17648815
It's a bad idea.

First, you already have something to commemorate your wedding: your wedding ring.
Secondly, you don't know if you'll actually like either of these watches years from now and if you'll wear them.
Thirdly, it's fair to assume you'll be making more money in the future, so buy the watch you actually want when you can afford it, instead of a used Seamaster or a quartz Explorer II rip-off.

t. I was given a Panerai for my wedding. Ask me how many times I've worn it in the past ten years.

Also, congratulations on getting married.

>>17648815
If you insist, the Grand Seiko.

>>17648823
Well Panerai is cringe and there is nothing wrong with a used seamaster. Not sure what you are getting at here

NEW TEDDY!!!

Im looking for a weekender watch. It has to be no-date or a quartz (for easier grab and go), no bigger than 40mm, bracelet, 100m wr, decent lume.

Would prefer a NO screw down crown if non quartz (for faster time adjustment) but i could be so.

Price, up to 4000€ used or new.

>>17648815
i prefer the GMT. GS has a few variants of that exact model that they've put out through the years, some people have very strong opinions about which ones they prefer so you may want to do some research on it.

>>17648825
>Not sure what you are getting at here
This is what they mean when they talk about American reading comprehension?

>>17648815
>Seamaster (used)
So do you and your wife like to pretend you're James Bond in the bedroom?
>Grand Seiko
So is your wife some kind of Southeast Asian but you secretly wish she was Japanese?

>>17648825
>there is nothing wrong with a used seamaster.
I mean, it will never be the Rolex Submariner he actually wants, but at least he's saving money and he also spares himself the heartbreak of putting that first scratch on it, since it will already be beat to shit.

>>17648679
That tiny led wont fuck up your circadian rhythm lmao

>>17648823
>you already have something to commemorate your wedding: your wedding ring.

This. Never buy watches to commemorate things. That's just getting tricked by marketing campaigns.
>Oh, something important happened in your life? Congratulations! You know what that means, though: you need to consoooom.

Any modern watches like these that have dials made up of several layers?

>>17648152
>That watch was never meant to be worn by anyone. It was a recreation of a watch they made in the 1960s for combat divers.
>Was never meant to be worn
>except when they made it the first time in the 60s

>>17648955
He was referring to two different watches.
The original from the 60s, made for the Egyptian Navy. (Meant to be worn by combat divers)
The watch in >>17648093, which is a recreation of the original, and was not meant to be worn.

Very simple.

>>17648957
What was it meant to do?

>>17648958
Just meant to be a neat conversation piece, like picrel. )A 60mm underwater compass, like they used to make.)

>>17648924
Speedmaster 3861.

I know this is a trap but I'm curious how it is supposed to work out.

>>17648812
I would never buy that watch but fuck that is pretty cool

>>17648986
looks nice

>>17648991
yeah I like it a lot actually. I have no issues with mine. What specifically do you want to know?

>>17648962
anything cheaper?

Is it okay to wear leather strap on a hot summer day? I really don't like the look of canvas straps.

>>17649062
Ok with who?

>>17649062
Yeah? Who cares? Might look weird if you are wearing that around ina graphic tee and shorts but if dressed approrpirately it will look fine

>>17649062
If you wear your watch too tightly or if you sweat a lot, the strap will get soaked with sweat and that will reduce its life (in addition to possibly making it stink).

>>17649013
To tegiment or not to tegi?
Black coat or no?
What other Sinn models (or other brands) did you consider before choosing the U50?
How old is yours? What kind of lume does it have? Blue or green glow?
Thank you.

>>17649062
Get a Hirsch 'James' strap in your color; leather strap but the underside is rubber and is vented so it's not flush with your wrist. Mine lasted for so many years longer, in a tropical country, than any other leather strap. I only replaced it because eventually both keepers finally tore.
Wearing it you can't tell that it has a rubber underside.

>>17648652
>well made
>movements are always finished like hot crap

>>17649085
Nononononono, only dial and case finishing counts. Movement finishing, bracelet finishing, even accuracy, for that matter, don't count.

What’s your budget?

>>17648876
What he is implying is that he doesn't "want" to save money on a used seamaster instead of something else (a new seamaster? Or a submariner? Explorer ii? Assuming this entirely here) How can you know years on whether you will like a watch without buying one?

>>17648883
How do you know he wants a submariner?

>>17649107
Everyone who claims to want a Seamaster actually wants a Submariner and they're trying to preempt any accusations of coping.

>>17649078
Reminder that these little ridges on the inside of rubber straps are super important. There's a huge difference in how well the skin on your wrist can perspiration vs. rubber straps that are just flat.

Grand Seiko's lose a ton of their value and are tough to resell in general. Only get it if you plan on keeping it forever and/or don't care about resell value
