I've got one of these bad boys on the way, what will I think of it?

>>17675266
Thread ruined.

>>17673883
What was the aftermath of him getting robbed and having all his watches stolen? That was a long time ago, did he ever get them back?

>>17675266
>lmao le epic Russian watch for the win! so robust and inaccurate, lolololol!

I love my sneedmaster

Came in last Friday. The glamour shots got me good.

Publicity stunt to get more watches, the rare Australian outback jew

>>17675286
What the fuck? It was fake this entire time?

>>17675294
Are you surprised? Archie is a fucking retard.

is there a sneedmaster version without the need to handwind it every other day?

>>17675286
>Publicity stunt to get more watches, the rare Australian outback jew
Is there any reading on this or just conjecture? be pretty funny otherwise.

>>17675301
Manual wind is based.
>ensure full power in 30 seconds so your watch runs properly
>no risk of damaging ratchet wheels due to overwinding
>incredibly satisfying

>>17675282
Citizen would be garnering more attention if they actually bothered to have an actual marketing department.

They're better than Seiko when it comes to alot of fronts and that's coming from a Seikofag.

>>17675303
Conjecture, if he has the money for all the watches why would he not
1. Replace them
2. Have insurance to replace them if he couldn't afford to buy them twice outright

>>17675315
>no risk of damaging ratchet wheels due to overwinding

Isn't this not an issue anymore with modern movements? You can overwind 4r, NH, Miyota, etc these days and it should be a-ok.

>>17675321
Selitta and ETA still have issues with it. It’s enough to where I won’t hand wind my automatic watches that don’t have in-house movements. But seriously, don’t be turned off of handwind because it requires 30 seconds of effort. I’m incredibly happy with mine.

https://calibercorner.com/sellita-caliber-sw200-vs-sw200-1/

>>17675315
this, manual wind is the way barring any obnoxious calendar or moonphase complications

>>17675323
Oh, okay that makes sense. I remember praising the Miyota's 9000 series accuracy in a conversation with a person who owns a microbrand and he mentions that one additional plus was that it didn't have the rotor issues you mentioned.

He did bring up the caveat that the magnetic resistance isn't that great compared to Swiss movements.

>>17675280
I have one as my daily/beater/outdoors watch. Need to find a decent strap. the steel bracelet has grown tiresome.

>>17675280
It's very nice-looking, good choice Anon.

If your accessories are inspired by what the Pope is wearing, is your spirituality inspired by whatever sect a Hollywood star is following ?

>>17675332
I wouldn't say it's the goat, but it does what he needs to do without looking ugly.

But that's with bias, in my eyes there's no such thing as a bad Casio. I don't think I've seen one that inspires heavy negative emotions as it does with Invicta that isn't Pro Diver or Richard Mille.

>>17675332
You can get more iconic and functional casios for the same price

>>17675342
I'm cherrypicking, but I find the DW-290 offensively ugly.

>>17675332
Its a watch and its not a fucking scam, so its better than 99% of the stuff you will see here.

>>17675331
Thanks! I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm coming from a skx007 on a jubilee and I really like the sharpness and versatility of this one.

>>17675328
I was looking around google images and came across one I liked from B&R Bands. I thought the color and stitching really worked together. Might pick one up down the line.

https://www.bandrbands.com/amber-padded-italian-vintage-leather-watch-band.aspx

>>17675348
I can't shit on that either, I thought that was one of the coolest watches to own when I was 14, but back then, I also wanted to own ALL the G-Shocks.

>>17675348
A thing so honest cant be ugly. It just does everything you need from a watch, and some more.

>>17675351
I'm not a fan of it personally because aesthetically I find it noisy and I already know how to do so but for people who don't know how GMTs work, the compass indicator in the bezel is really handy.

It's one of the things that makes GMT great to have since despite having gyro and GPS, smartwatches can't reliably function as compasses, whereas GMT watches can if the sun is up.

>>17675354
It's not honest. A basic square is honest, this is overdesigned and oversized with a pretence that it makes it even more durable while in realit even the basic square could lose some weight while still being robust enough for extreme sports.

>>17675332
$35?
wtf is that ripoff? I can get them for $12 direct from Casio in my shitty turdworld city. That watch is nowhere near worth 35 USD.

Hey watch nerds. Any new watches I should know about that have come out recently?

>>17675362
no

>>17675332
Too basic even to pass as minimalist.

the f91w is the actual spartain watch. Has an ugli but visible backlight, shows day and date, has a timer that actually helps cooking, costs 20$.

this watch wants to look like it's minimalistic, while in reality it's actually just minimal.

>>17675362
>>17675362
Besides microbrands, no.

Orient announced a few recently and Seiko announced the new Prospex back in March but those two are the only ones I know thus far.

Vario announced a GMT edition of their Empire series potentially on August but that could potentially be pushed back to September, which is unfortunate since I was hoping to snag one for my boss's birthday.

>>17675366
>wants to look like it's minimalistic, while in reality it's actually just minimal

>>17675366
What I love about the f91w, or any of its descendants, is that it's a great gift for anybody. Male, female, kids, adults, it just works.

Do you guys still wear watch at home and while sleeping? I just bought a mechanical for the first time but I havent been using it much since I'm mostly at home for now.

>>17675376
Yeah
I like looking at it
Do you not like looking at yours?

>>17675376
Only time I wear a smartwatch since I get to see if I slept straight or not.

As for home and while awake, I started doing so since I wanted to maintain the power reserve between my two watches.

>>17675369
JLC is making their ultra thin moon in 36 now

Bros, I think it's time for me to start Epsteinmaxxing.

>>17675381
I try not to follow news regarding Swiss watches since they're way past my paygrade.

If I ever get a career break though, I'd really want to own a C1 Moonglow.

>>17675317
Yeah, their design could use some inspiration as well.

>>17675362
Christopher Ward Twelve

>>17675395
Hmm that's interesting. I like it but the dial isn't to my taste. I see Tissot is doing the little PRX in mechanical now.

>>17675391
I agree with this as well, which frustrates me because I see any microbrand selling watches that use either NH34 or NH35 as a massive scam, but I can't say the same for Miyota 9075 and Miyota 9039/15 respectively since the ones Ive had that use them tend to me -0/+5 per day which is insane for its price.

They also decisively crushed Seiko's -/+ 15s per year with the Spring Drive with -/+ 1 per year with the Caliber 100. How it even has an ECO-DRIVE on a Mechanical movement is pure insanity.

It's like the company spec'd 100% on function/utility and spent 0% on style.

>>17675403
>Caliber 100. How it even has an ECO-DRIVE on a Mechanical movement is pure insanity.
Huh? 0100 is quartz.

>>17675403
GS can do +/-5 a year with their star quartz. And look better doing it. Springs are like 15 a month.

>>17675407
Okay, now it's not as fantastic as I thought it would be.

turns out it's Caliber 0200 that's mechanical.

>-3/+5

It okay but at that point, it cancels out my point about Citizen beating Seiko's Spring Drive.

>>17675403
>>17675407
>>17675414
>>17675419
spring drive's smooth second hand sweep is the reason why I consider it the GOAT. I just love how easy it is to buy a GS, no need to deal with the swiss artificial scarcity bs, you can also notice that the GS has a higher quality finishing, only con being they don't hold value

>>17675387
Better start with really shitty fake vacheron then.

>>17675424
Depends on which model as to value retention, and to what extent. There's Rolex, PP, and a handful of niche independent brands that hold value. Vast majority of the watch market doesn't.

>>17675424
>only con being they don't hold value

That's not a con to me, personally. I'm a poor wagie but I can now have one that's amazing to look at, and it doesn't have the accuracy issues that bother my autism.

If anything, I don't like it when Youtubers keep preaching about GS > Rolex since it drives up the price of the ones I want. I can't help but see it as attempted market manipulation. A person who goes deeper into knowing about watches will come to that conclusion on their own, they don't need a monthly reminder from Watchfinder/TGV to know that.

>>17675427
ermmmm why???

>>17675424
The sweep is nice, but if I wanted quartz I'd just go with a Citizen Chronomaster instead desu. With GS I think that it's best to go mech over spring drive or 9F.

>>17675419

Grand Seiko are all about smooth sweep with their spring drive and hi-beat.

Citizen are all about accuracy with their hand picked thermal compensated quartz movements. They boast having highest accuracy (as if anybody cares) but they made that regular quartz 1 second steps.

Why the hell wouldn't they make a "poor drive" solar watch that just makes 10 steps per second - i have no idea, seiko probably sucked them off to bury that tech.

>>17675431
because he wore the fake vacheron before he started wearing the fake luminox

>>17675435
it tracks.

Man always started out as a poser, of course he'd wear a fake Vacheron.

>>17675435
goes well with his fake harvard hoodie

>you NEED another watch
>you NEED another strap
>you MUST post your new watch
>you MUST consoome

>>17675432
Only citizen that looks good is the white dials. All the other ones look off. I think you get the whole package with GS.
There is a Seiko movement that does something like 5 or 10 beats, but it's very rare to see in the wild.

>>17675266
I wanted one, had the money, but went full autist and isntead got LE CAPTAIN WILLARD from steeldive... I regret everyday... vostoks are more original and have more history than a chinese copy with a better crystal

>>17675441
Yea, this is my issue with Citizen, they don't seem to bother about aesthetics.

The best Citizen watches are microbrands that use any of the Miyota 9000 series, and frankly it doesn't have to be that way.

>>17675435
how do you know that it is fake? Oh wow we have an exert in the thread.......ridiculous

>>17675447
because it looks like shit and vacheron never made such a watch
retardnigger

>>17675450
Multimillionaire sponsors be like, "He has a Vacheron? He clearly knows what he's doing!"

Granted, such a trick was probably easier to pull then when the Internet was still in its infancy.

>>17675276
no one ever mentions or says that vostoks are inaccurate on forums or reviews...

>>17675456
If anything, that's actually pretty fucking good. It makes Seiko's 4r/NH series look like a joke in comparison.

>>17675450

The target wasn't his backers.
He confided to an acquaintance that he specifically wore a fake VC because it was emblazoned with a very overt Christian symbol and he, being a jew, despised Christians and sought to corrupt and destroy them at any opportunity. He wore it mockingly and would hand out fake watches he got from a jewel thief friend of his to entice his victims who, not knowing anything about watches or jewelry accepted them because he told the girls "it's expensive".

>>17675459
Okay that's even more insidious

How come yall never talk about Mido watches ?

>>17675458
This is why that absolute moron a thread ago who claimed

doesn't know shit. How many fake RMs do you think are worn by these types of people? More than there are real models in circulation that's for sure, and nobody calls them out on it because none of them have a clue.
The kind of autistic cashed up tard that actually takes a loupe with them to buy a watch is incredibly rare.
Faggots on forums who obsess over macrophotography are a tiny minority.
For everyone else no matter their bank account size as long as it says "patek" or "ap" on the dial they're pacified.

>>17675469
>a phone app

Is there even one that's as good as an actual timegrapher? or one that comes close enough?

>>17675471

>>17675473
Thanks, Anon. Looking that one up.

>>17675473
How does it work without magnetizing the watch in the process?

>>17675473
how do you use that? do you need another device apart from a phone and a watch?

>>17675475
Okay, this is actually a very damn good question.

>>17675477
Put your clock on the microphone. Magic ensues.
>>17675475
Idk it just werks

>>17675480
Hmm, theoretically it can be done on a safe distance via a bluetooth headset, but they raised a really good point about magnetization risks if you're using the phone's actual microphone.

>>17675475
If it only checks the ticking sound, how would it magnetize anything?

Why is Hublot hated so much? Because they make flashy watches?

>>17675487
Used it on both my clocks, it seems to work without Ill effect.

>>17675471
why wouldn't it be accurate? the technology is trivial and the modern sound recording is high accuracy and the phone itself is a far more accurate MEMS clock.

Eyeing this new chinkshitter, but it has a display back for some ungodly reason. How do I tell if an aftermarket caseback will fit, just the case size?

>>17675489
In order to measure the ticking variance, you would need to put your watch as close as possible to the phone.

Unless you're measuring a Timex Weekender, you basically need to put your watch next to your phone to measure it as accurately as it possibly can but doing so puts your watch at risk of magnetization.

>>17675487
The magnet in the mic is ridiculously weak ffs. You would need to rub the liteal magnet on the springs and cogs to fuck the watch up.

>>17675379
I do like it.

But I only wear watches outside. I'll be moving to a different state next week so im going to start wearing my watches again.

>>17675459
then why wouldn't he buy a Jewish watch????

>>17675463
I quite liked Mido, but recent non-developments have eroded what differentiation they had from the rest of the lower-end swatch group family.
I still rank it well above certina and tissot, maybe not quite at longines level.
Distinct look about them so not a generic non-entity like certain/tissot.
They used to do this unique oldschool cork-based water resistance thing that's now gone, and since they started using the soimatic 80 I never feel like recommending them anymore.
I like that the Commander model has been virtually unchanged for 60 odd years.
The gold tone one would be a prime sleezecore watch if you were in the market.
Swatch's jostling hasn't done them any good which is a shame as they used to offer the best affordable COSC certified swiss watches.

>>17675493
Who the fuck would name their watch brand over a toilet?

>>17675495
>>17675487
Those tiny microphones aren't even magnetic, they are carbon mics.

The phone itself may or may not have other magnets in it like for holding a book case or whatever but thats a different story.

>>17675494
People here are anal ret af. Do you think that watches that could be fucked up for using any power tool with, or any cooking appliances, would be selling today?

>>17675499
>used to offer the best affordable COSC certified swiss watches.
interdasting. Then who offers the best swiss value these days?

>>17675499
>>17675463
Commander. Current models still available with a hesalite. Only problem is the bracelet is basically is all you're stuck with and of course the
>powermatic

>>17675500
The Germans

>>17675504
There's magnets in the speakers and the microphones. Just as they're magnets in headphones.
I don't get how this app works without magnetizing shit. Watches magnetized by cellphones is a known and documented annoyance, especially the latest iphones.

>>17675504
It doesn't apply to watches and magnetization though because the watch would still work, but it would ultimately start moving a bit too fast than it's intended.

The Miyota 9000, as great as it is, is unfortunately susceptible to those issues, so if your phone can accommodate a magsafe, it's not safe for your watch, unless it's equipped specifically against magnetization.

>>17675490
>Why is Hublot hated so much? Because they make flashy watches?
Because they don't give a fuck.
They know they have no heritage but they don't fucking care.
They do whatever they want.
They have zero interest in catering to sticky "purists" who demand 32mm dress watches that look like they're from the early 60s.

>>17675511
>no heritage
>no inhouse movement
>no exquisite finish
>no taste frankly

So what are they charging for again?

>>17675526
If anything, the fact that they pulled off putting themselves above Rolex in terms of luxury and pricing is actually impressive.

I can't be mad at that.

>>17675506
>Current models still available with a hesalite

Meanwhile orients come with domed sapphire.

>>17675526
>So what are they charging for again?
for whatever they fucking want to.
making ''''enthusiasts''''' so incredibly mad is what makes hublot based.

>>17675523
probably more of an inside joke for himself and his ilk to giggle about behind closed doors as they diddled kids
nothing to do with targeting antijews specifically

>>17675532
There's sapphire options, but those that want basically the same watch from 1959 you have the acrylic glass available.
I hate how orient shuffles its designs every few years and just gets worse. There's so many models from a decade+ ago that are waaay nicer than the junk they're peddling today. No consistency besides a singular dive watch.
Alba and jsport are junk fashion forward seikogroup brands; orient should maintain some consistency.

>>17675526
They made it big with a singular model, the big bang, a the precise right time for it to work. If they'd tried that gamble today it would've have worked and they'd be out of business or just another shitter brand with a royalcope.

>>17675543
>from a decade+ ago that are waaay nicer than the junk they're peddling today.
Man, i have that one watch on my mind with a crazy looking black dial, open heart and a racing looking piece of shiny metal with perforations on it, i was going to buy it but somebody convinced me that orients are shit and i didn't now i can't find it anywhere.

>>17675548
That's interesting. If I remember correctly Zelos did the same strategy with the Mirage Tourbillion.

>Hey anon, I've noticed you're wearing a nice watch! Is that a Rolex? Can I see it?
How do you respond?

>>17675552
Tell her to turn the lights off as I take off my UV light to charge the lume.

>>17675552
Yeah that's a Rolex Seiko, i was so lucky to get one.

>>17675550
Zelos didn't have celebs buying shit and pushing the brand to stratospheric heights. At the time they were trendsetting with meme materials like fancy rubber and carbon fiber shit everywhere but soon everyone else was using that too and the big bang hardly stood out.
It saved their company though and they've been milking it ever since; basically the "Final Fantasy" of watches.

>>17675552

The first big bang wasn't another RM copy, certainly nothing like Frank Muller's current vanguard shit.
If anything the first bb was more of a royaloak cope, although apparently the designer did take inspo from an 80's hublot model - which was itself likely a royal oak cope at the time.

Same boss was the person who got me into watches.

Dude's bailed me out for more times than I could count including covering a hotel room for an entire month when I was dealing with an illegal eviction.

>>17675627
I'm not a world traveler, so I'd just keep that

>>17675629
Buy the seller first, the watch second. If the seller doesn't agree to get it certified then you know they can't be trusted.

I'm not the person to ask because IF I were to choose a Rolex, it'd be that specific Rolex or the Rolex Explorer II White.

>>17675638
I tried on the Polar Explorer (old and new models) at a boutique and a pre owned store and the new one fet a tad too small and the older one felt just right

>>17675642
felt*

>>17675631
Nothing like that, thankfully.

>>17675628
No. Had a quarrel with a housemate whose husky wouldn't stop howling because their 250lb ass can't walk the dog at least once a day when huskies need to be walked at least 3 times a day since they're sled dogs. Landlord wouldn't address it because the dog's owner was his niece or something.

Looked up property records, found out he's been double dipping on taxes by renting the property but filing it as vacant for $7.5k tax credits. Brought it up to him and if he doesn't address his niece's bullshit, it's going straight to both building inspectors and the IRS.

It got everybody evicted, including the fat bitch. Found a new place two days later so I didn't need to stay an entire month.

I still think about that husky now and then, what a painful existence.

>>17675642
>tad too small

That's actually one of the reasons why I chose that one since unfortunately I'm a wristlet. The biggest I can wear without looking like a 12 year old with an oversized G-Shock is 44mm, so 42mm is fine for me. Smaller would of course be better, but I really like the aesthetics of the orange GMT hand on a white dial.

>>17675627
kek you got bored of it quickly

>>17675661
Jesus

Reminder that SanMartin is ceasing custom dial orders at the end of June, so act now if you too want your animepussy hentaimariner.
note, they won't print a crown logo any longer

>>17675689

>>17675689
Why are they stopping? It must be good money for them.

>>17675695
They're stopping singular custom orders.
Presumably bulk customs are still welcome. I think it's the cost and hassle to manage one-offs. They stopped printing crowns and other obvious trademarks as while ago though. Anon that got the pussymariner was probably the last one that got a crown.

Aesthetics-wise, which of these two do you find the best looking?
The left watch is a 130e Yema and has been serviced in january, the right one is 110e and isn't branded, it's made by a workshop using a Miyota 8215 movement
Also, do you think the right watch would look good with a bund strap (like for the left watch, but in a different color)?
Thanks for any reply

>>17675712
right one, not a fan of that black vessel thing.
>Also, do you think the right watch would look good with a bund strap (like for the left watch, but in a different color)?
those straps are hideous, stay away

>>17675725
Why stay away ? I agree I never worn one but they look good in photo to me

>>17675689
Oh no, that's really sad

>>17675660
I fucked up I meant too big lol. Don't trust me after I have just woken up.

Not bored! I still like the thing, just saw really like white watches. Now a couple other watches I have gotten bored of and sold for random shit (mainly seikos)

>>17675610

>>17675689
They can go fuck themselves then.

>>17675703
Thanks for the heads up, I've actually been considering making a watch as a gift using the NH35 as base and wanted to ask about custom dials.

Shame it's ending though. What other watchmakers offer this?

What's the deal with Moser watches? They look cool, but they seem like overpriced cartoon gimmick watches.

>>17675703
The soul is so fucking immense

Looking to replace my Ebel as my daily.

Looking for something small and vintage under $200.
I like exposed mechaninsms and black/dark steels, also unusual watches
Don't care if battery or automatic.

Any suggestions?

>>17675768
The gimmick ones are just horological troll watches designed to draw attention to the brand. They mostly one offs or not for sale. Their more normal models are very high quality. The question you have to ask yourself is are you going to spend patek/vc/lange money on basically a literalwho brand?
The quality is tops, but the brand cache is not. If you have the money and love the designs then you already know what to do.

>>17675766
I would do sooner rather than later; don't got asking them on June 29th for shit as I believe the custom process requires some back and forth.

>>17675780
>The question you have to ask yourself is are you going to spend patek/vc/lange money on basically a literalwho brand?
I think alot of the designs look cool, but they're just overpriced by 2x.

what are some cool premium digital watches?

>>17675794
Perhaps. They make a point of being 100% swiss made which is more than can be said for that industry as a whole.
They're bought by the people that already own everything, and so gimmick are all that's next on the list.
Fancy a watch that looks like an applewatch? If $30k is poochange then this is what you buy for laughs. Finishing like a patek, case looks like a disposable shitter smartwatch.

>>17675332
Mogged by swatch

>>17675799
I have a bias for Yema not because of the watch, but because of their marketing material for it.

>>17675835
Vegas dealers know that anyone who walks in might actually buy a watch since there is a chance they just won big even if they look like a total bum.

>>17675843
Makes sense. I moved to Vegas a couple weeks and I'm already liking it more than the midwest, especially with all the different brands of watches you can actually find here.

>>17675845
Yeah I've had the exact same experience watch shopping in Vegas versus on the east coast. It's really an amazing place to live if you like watches.

People with chronographs fucking annoy me.
Like, who the fuck do you think you are? You don't need a chronograph you histrionic cunt, stop pretending you time things.
Get a 3 hands and shut the fuck up.

>>17675332
I really don't get why there is no cheap mechanical watch in this modern, minimal, matte style. This is the closest I could find but it's too expensive and big for me. I just don't like the shiny metal look a lot of the watches have.

>>17675387
Kill yourself unironically

>>17675859
Damasko and sinn have a number of bead blasted watches if that's what you're looking for.

>>17675857
>he can't afford chronographs

>>17675712
Left is a cheap shitter. Wouldnt give more than 30€ for it

>>17675857
I don't mind it when they're mechanical toys for the sake of toys but when they start going into the pilot commander space lemans racecar shit I cringe hard, which basically rules out like half of all chronos but whatever

>>17675712
Both ugly cheap shitters

>>17675864
i do dig some of the sinn designs but they are too big for my onions wrist

>>17675857
What the fuck? I use the chronograph pretty much daily for several different things. It's faster and much more convenient than using my phone

>>17675868
The most annoying thing with chronographs is how people would rather buy a shitty one than a decent 3 hands because "DURRRRR THEY LOOK COOL".
Look at this shit. It's grotesque.

>>17675878
No you don't, you triple nigger.

Not bad, but is there something similar with a date?

>>17675857
>>17675868
>>17675882
I don't like chronographs.
I've tried to see whether or not I like them but in every single instance I always prefer the less cluttered version instead. If I wanted a cluttered watch it'd be something like triple/annual/perpetual calendar sort of deal. It adds unnecessary clutter to the whole time telling function of a watch, and thus extra cost come servicing, without actually being useful like the calendars. Shit I can find more use for a moonphase than a chronograph.

The last time I had time time shit was in physics in HS. The fuck do I have reason for it now?
You know what would be actually useful and what annoys me that basically nobody offers?
Countdown bezels; infinitely more useful in daily life and it doesn't require any extra mechanical complication.

>>17675900
>basically nobody offers? Countdown bezels;
isn't that basically what a diver offers? I use mine all the time

I like the look of this watch, I just don't like how it's a fake chrono, I would feel like a chump if i bought one

>>17675896
Don't think so. I noticed a new model on their site that has the same general dimensions but with date and a gmt hand. SN0112-G-GMT
I know nothing about it however so read around.
Seiko's recently released a smaller 38mm sports 5 model SRPK29 etc., that's like 44mm lugtolug but there's no sapphire. The size should be about right though.

Any more watches with white subdials on a black background?

>>17675893
You can inb4 all you want, a chronograph is extremely useful for any non-manchildren who cooks for himself. I don't really time steaks, I've got a thermometer for those, but for pasta, rice, or anything that goes in the oven it's really convenient. Another major usecase for me is to time stretches and postural excercises that I do throught the day when I take breaks from sitting.

>>17675905
>isn't that basically what a diver offers?
Nope. Basically every single diver's bezel on earth ever, except one rare vintage seiko that goes for crazy money and can only be fixed by an old mr.miyagi living in mt.fuji who could die at any moment, has an elapsed time bezel.
A countdown bezel does what it says: shows you how many minutes/1hr you have left until a set time.
Have 23mins before you have to do something? Countdown bezel is useful.
Need to know how much time passed since you started doing something?
Regular ubiquitous elapsed time bezel.
I have waaaaay more uses for the former and I think most people would too.
Note pic related how the numbers are reversed from the regular clockwise "to 15mins" diving bezel you see everywhere.
Sinn 104 has one.

>>17675910
>Seiko's recently released a smaller 38mm sports 5 model SRPK29 etc
I checked those out in person. Dimensionally it is perfect but there are some bullshit things about it, like the non sapphire and the stupid fucking 3 pips between the 5, 10, 15 markers on the bezel which is fucking HORSESHIT and massively triggers my autism

>>17675919
this one uses subdials for useful calendar date functions not chronograph larping

>>17675933
I would rather never wear another watch than wear a watch with "brooklyn" on the dial

>>17675922
Don't many watches do the whole pips up to 15 or whatever thing? What's the issue? How it switches from 4pips to 3?

>>17675953
>Don't many watches do the whole pips up to 15 or whatever thing?
yea, I like that when it's done properly
>What's the issue? How it switches from 4pips to 3?
Yea basically, only having 3 pips between 5 min markers is fucking retarded. This one is guilty of it too >>17675920 the 0 to 5 min segment has the proper amount of pips (four) but then for some dumb reason it switches to 3 pips, what do they mean now? Is each pip 1.25 mins? Does it count 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 ?? You have to use your imagination for the missing pip? It's retarded

>>17675774
That's a very tiny looking watch. How small and how vintage are you wanting it?

>>17675774
>200$
>I like black
>I like exposed

It's a nice little mechanical with a transparent case back.

Imagine being so upset about people having different needs and preferences than yours

Is this good? I want a pvd watch that is cool, but i dont mind scratching

>>17676036
Or this, even cheaper?

>>17676036
>PVD

;P

>>17676036
>>17676040
I'd rather get a Seiko but this does look thin tho.

Pvd doesn't SCRATCH, it GOUGES.
as long as you don't bang it hard enough on something hard it's gonna be good.

In a day to day use, dust, sand metal shavings reasonable contact with other things PVD handles it better than steel

>>17676002
I'm pretty sure 5's don't have mechanical winding

>>17676061
The new ones with the 4r36 (or 4r35) movements do.

>>17676051
The Timex Q IS thin. Like 9mm plus the dome of the plexi. And 38mm.

The other one i dont know, but id 41mm so probably thicker too. And mineral cristal.

Both 59m WR, but the Q has the "battery access door" that make it less trusty... but you gain never needing to go to a shop to change the battery.

>>17676027
>>17676051
Not all PVD coatings are equal.

>>17676066
Consider this.
They are thicker tho.

>>17675629
looks real to me.

>>17669734
Reduced Speedy uses an ETA movement which means it is NOT a real Speedmaster, dumb fuck.

>>17676109
Yes, you are a girl, deep inside. That is why you need an atrocious 43mm to compensate

>>17676191
To add a little extra funds for moving/buying a house. I shoulda kept it because it was practically NOS with box and papers.

And the reddit /r/watches is pretty big, 1.8m subs

And well the new 35mm models are kinda cute, and very cheap

>>17676242

I want it but in the powermatic 80. The quartz shitters with corroded movements will sit in drawers in a few years I feel. I used to try to stay away from hype, but I have learned to be a true connoisseur you have to see what all the hype is about not shun it.

>>17676190

Is the GAB2100 really worth the $50 over the original GA2100? Only thing I care about is the solar recharge and better light.

>Basedboy dd
Huh?

>>17676330
>ice blue sold out
whelp, don't want it anymore, good job Tissot

>>17676322
GAB2100 is not as customizable as GA2100, the dial can't be replaced due to the solar recharge, and the indices are stuck where they are, can't replace them with aftermarket parts.
The GA2100 at least can be modified to a wide extent, there's a growing market for its customizations so you at least won't get bored with what you have.
If you're truly set on a Casioak with solar recharge, then just get the metal GMB2100, it looks and feels better than the GAB2100.

>>17676342
Honestly I don't really care about modding too much, and I also prefer the plastic for durability and less weight.

>>17676345
If that's the case then go for it, light and solar is decent on it, don't bother using the bluetooth feature, I tried connecting it to my phone and the app kept bombarding me with notifications to connect the watch through bluetooth afterwards.
Just don't ever open it up, the indices being stuck in place makes cleaning the inside annoying as hell.
I'd suggest the all black version since it's the least ugliest of the current versions.

>>17676349
I will probably will get the one with positive display, or might just get a gd350, love the look of those.
