Stop buying sports watches.

I wonder why there are jagged lines all over OP pic. It's probably nothing.

Horological truth lies in extremes: cheap Casio watches and very expensive mechanical watches, everything in between is a cope.

>>17772160
I waited for this common knowledge? Surely you must have an actual, not obvious truth.

>>17772160
It's only cope if you actually feel bad about it.

>>17772164
It was in front of you all along, but someone's got to say it.

This is all you would ever need in a watch. Anyone who spends more than $50 on a watch is a retard and wasting money.

Is this the watch thread?

>>17772160
Nah.

Its "things you really use to its full" (usually cheap Casio but could be other stuff), famous models (like in NORMIES can identify them) or expensive stuff.

>>17772153
gotta add some yellow gold in there bruh

>>17772180
The Casio is still the most tastefully designed.

>>17772177
No, anon, this is anal plug thread

Plz R8

I keep looking for the watch that evokes this atmosphere.

Why buy a Timex when you can get a Casio ?

Challenge:

post a microbrand watch that is:

I would do so many things for that golden day date...

>>17772295
Cartier doesn't have the dials though. Grand Seiko has all of the colorful dials that go with all of your colorful outfits.

It's come to my attention that this thread is full of tasteless faggots
/fa/ was a mistake

>>17772299
Yesterday I went to the Grand Seiko site on a whim and saw this for the first time. That dial is so fucking cool.

>>17772295
Wrong. Gay Sexko is the brand for those who enjoy having sex through their poop canal.

Like I said, the ultimate truth is that wristwatches are for fagots.

Not if you're not coping.
Like, literally, how is it coping if you just buy a watch and don't feel bad that it isn't some other watch?

>>17772180
Nice collection, kind of over Rolex though desu. They're making massive ammounts of watches, they might be pricy but they're very common.

>>17772304
I want to like that, but i dont.

>>17772306
There's one based on tamahagane too and it looks like they'd sell it in a Pittsburgh Steelers gift shop.

>>17772325
Obsessed with what?

Can someone redpill me on SILLY CUM?

>>17772329
Admit it, you feel bad inside for being a poortard. C'mon don't lie to yourself too.
The fact that you're here proves that you care.

>>17772349
They decided the disposable powermatic 80 movement didn't have enough plastic in it so they made the main spring out of plastic too.

>>17772349
If you are not a watch nerd and only want a decent mechanical for careless use, its fine.

Did longines bot their video or do they really have this many fans?

>>17772352
I'm not poor and coming here proves fuck all.

Also

What are some decent watch shops in eu? I mean grey/secondary market

>>17772349

Longines is the quality "in-house ETA" option, since Omega switched to Cuckaxial and Tudor to in-house.

Hence its actual success. People LIKE chronometer grade ETAs. And rightfully so.

>>17772365

I'm not asking about the watch, I'm asking about SILLY CUM?

But a bit silly

>It’s just cum
Are you talking about Gay Sexko lubricating oils?

>>17772380
Fine how?

-no more than one watch per brand
-no more than a handful of watches in total
-one dress and one sports watch is probably enough
-just one watch in total is ideal
-metal is uncomfortable, leather is high maintenance
-if you have collector's disease like many of the rest of us, always aim/save up for the most expensive/exclusive brand you can. that will kill off your need to acquire from lesser brands.
-reps are a cheap way to figure out what you want to own in the long run, but they will most likely spoil the real thing for you. if you decide to go down the rep road, take it nice and slow. very easy to end up with a bunch of chinese junk. but also don't obsess over it and let it become a "hobby."

having a drawer full of slightly different wristwatches, or any other luxury good for that matter, feels feminine and just disgusting in general.

these are some lessons learned from almost one year spent on this bs hobby. same applies for pens, lighters, knives, etc. good luck out there.

yes, i had to "collect" all those as well.

>>17772387
Nice photoshop
OP is the OG

>>17772387
>metal is uncomfortable
is it though
>leather is high maintenance
get leather with a butterfly clasp, it'll look like new even after two years

>>17772387
>>17772391
What kind of maintenance are you supposed to do on your leather?

Camo dial lmao
Timex 47552

>>17772406
It's crazy how this image looks corrupted even though it's not.

>>17772391
clasps help with longevity, that is true. but they are not available on all brands, so you need to be ok with using third party products in that case. also, they add bulk to the watch and can look out of place with a thin dress watch.

>>17772395
maintenance may be the wrong word. you shouldn not get it wet, which is easy enough. but sweating is also bad for it.
i found performance series from hirsch, which have leather outer layers and plastic inners.
but they are expensive and i am not sure if they will sit as elegantly on the wrist. never saw one in a store and not many reviews of them online

>>17772349
silicium is the highest tier powermatic but even my lowest tier plastic one keeps time pretty well

>>17772349
I think it's crazy that the "gilt" version of this watch doesn't give you the option of a bracelet. You pay $1650 for a watch with half a dozen different leather strap options but won't let you pick a bracelet.

poorfagbros, which way should I go?

No? Not dying, Moscow is a relatively safe city. If anything, given the current geopolitical situation, I'm worried about having some drugs or other bullshit planted on me in order to imprison me and use me as a leverage in this conflict. That's why I haven't been back since the invasion

Holy fuck, is there an end to the shit China can pump out?

Is christopher ward a microbrand or have they graduated to brand brand? On one hand they make some really nice watches and they have respect from a lot of people. On the other hand they're charging twice the price of other smaller brands using the same off the shelf 3rd party movements.

>>17772677
It's too similar to the old Dolce Vita. LMAOOOO

I wouldn't believe one word from that massive faggot.

>>17772685
Someone here said that most of the military wears smaller g-shock models, like the baby-g's, that casio targets at women. To be honest neutral looking women's watches are a blessing for us non-overweight people. They look better on the wrist and are more comfortable to wear. Who cares what the manufacturer calls them

R8 H8 and appreci8

Have a vintage watch (not pictured), a Vacheron Constantin from 1964, that I dropped and is no longer working.

I asked one shop in Manhattan for an estimate for a repair, and they quoted me $2800!

That’s more than 3/4 of the value of the watch.

Going to try another place in New York and see what they say, but how much should a repair/service for a non-working time-only watch cost?

where to find a french strap from in europ?

>>17772789
I guess it's supposed to be light (like titanium) but still scratch resistant (unlike regular titanium)

>>17772790
I think the steel version is only $400 though? It's a little heavier but still not so scratchable and you save a shitload of money of your digital quartz shitter.

>>17772304
One of my favorite watches. Not just because of the look, but much more because of the functionality.

How do you guys handle taking a shit with your watch and jewelry situation? Do you take your watch and rings and stuff off and put them in your pocket and put them back on after you've washed your hands? It's not really a big deal if you're at home, you can just put them on any table or whatever and get back to them whenever, but it's kind of a pain in the ass to shove them in your pocket and have to dress up again in public restrooms.

>>17772850
If they made one in 36mm or 37mm they could absolutely destroy the datejust OP meta.

>>17772851

With modern machining, how much does good finishing actually cost and how difficult is it to do? Talking steel case and dial finishing.

>>17772782
i´d buy this if i were rich, it will always hold its value if not increase - i really like the black one, the gray one looks odd

>>17772869
0.0015 cents per square cm
its a universal standart, all dial and case manufacturers are audited 3 times a year to make sure every watch has the same level of finishing. More expensive watches are more expensive and better build becausrle they bribe the auditors

European time, mental health returns to the thread

>>17772869
With the cases the care and costs are generally fairly minimal as almost all of the process is easily automated and just deals with milling either steel, titanium, bronze, gold or platinum. With more elaborate dials generally they are hand finished by an actual craftsman using specialized equipment and exotic materials. That kind of work is always going to be expensive.

can anyone help me id this watch? My dad got it as a gift from the Swedish truck manufacturer Scania - his work has a lot to do with logistics and so they were heavily involved. This was a good 15 years ago.
It seems to me that they just took some version of the Citizen Eco-drive and slapped their name on it but I'm not sure. The watch is stainless steel, weighs about 180 grams, has 10 bar water resistance

Good morning

How much would something like this cost to service? I don't know anything about it except it's old and real. It is running. It needs the spring bars drilled out on one side. The old bracelet disintegrated, the strap I have it on is barely holding in place.

>>17772855
Sinn? Definitely a German watch.

>>17772866
Amazon is literally a coin toss if you get chinese shit or real shit. But they will at least let you return.

Should I give in and buy the Casio chud watch?

>>17772153
what are the best microbrands out there? I've been looking at Baltic and anOrdain lately.

>>17772907
Why do people think these ugly looking watches with chinese movements are so cool?

>>17772908
some are ugly, some are not, it's up to the individual to decide, you don't wear a watch for someone else, you wear a watch because YOU like it. Also, they do not all have chinese movement.

whats your point anon? elaborate.

>>17772907
I like Serica a lot. Might grab their dive watch once they release the new version (COSC certified and anti-magnetic). The proportions are nice (39mm in diameter x 12mm thick).
I also kinda like the new Horage Lensman 2. It's a complete meme watch but idk I think it looks cool.

>>17772899
Nope.

>>17772910
They look like shit and have low quality movements. This is not an opinion.

>>17772924

>>17772905
Yes, just take it apart and customize it. I made this 1 of 1 custom piece. You can use polarizing filters for different segments of the face to invert or uninvert blacks, you can put in color filters meant for photography to make colored numbers or segments, you can oil fill the watch for clarity, sharpness and legibility (and a unique look), and you can even add holographic backings behind the display if you choose. I've seen Yugioh cards be used as the background of casio watches.

>>17772727
there are brands that charge $800 for a sw200 and brands that charge $2500 for a sw200

>>17772908
not sure, im also a fan of their watches. I almost bought their chronograph, but i didnt like the hands on the subdials. I still love my aquascaphe though

>>17772929
Who is charging $2500 for sw200? They must at least be regulating them to chronometer specs, right?

>>17772192
This looks very sloppy.

>>17772910
I am not the other anon. I understand you, but what's the point of buying a watch with a cheap mechanical movement? Mechanical watches have been the complete opposite of affordable since the quartz crisis. When you buy a mechanical watch you get outdated technology, this may make sense with traditional brands or those watchmakers who make beautiful movements. This doesn't make sense with an affordable micro brands. The micro brands are totally wrong, they should use ultra precise quartz movements

>>17772933
FC has a few for at least $2k msrp. they brand thet as their own and they probably regulate them to some degree but they're still sw200s originally

>>17772939
Is FC a good brand? There's an AD here that stocks them I think to offer to people while they're putting their name on the list for a Rolex.

>>17772939
>>17772940
FC is a dishonest brand, they want to sell you high Swiss horology at reasonable prices, but their movements are from third parties

I've narrowed it down to two, help me choose bros. I like the design of the CW more, the screws on the Formex are weird, look like they're going to be magnets for dust but it has a cosc movement and a better bracelet

Sinn 356 looks so fucking good.

>>17772956
I would not buy those watches, I would save money to buy a quality automatic watch. Another option would be to buy a high-quality quartz watch, for example an ultra-thin Solar Citizen.

>>17772943
>>17772939
Every brand does this btw idiots.

>>17772956
Formex if you're some kind of a steel mill worker or cyberpunk soldier from the future. ChWard if you're a poor loser.

>>17772961
>a quality automatic watch
like what and what is supposed to be the difference? esp compared to a cosc watch

>>17772958
Sinn is one of the few brands with 3rd party movements that I respect, good watches for a reasonable price, something much better than IWC

>>17772968
Accuracy and good service.

>>17772964
You may be surprised to learn, dear anon, that there are brands that make their own movements and service their vintage watches.

>>17772961
What would an example of a quality mechanical watch be?

>>17772982
How much more would one need to spend to reach the quality mechanical watch tier?

what do you need an apple watch for

>>17772993
i just thought they looked cool so i bought the appe watch ultra

>>17772982
> What would an example of a quality mechanical watch be?
A watchmaker who manufactures his own movements, these must be highly accuracy. For example: Rolex, Patek, Vacheron.
>>17772983
>How much more would one need to spend to reach the quality mechanical watch tier?
You could start with a Rolex Oyster Perpetual. Also a Grand Seiko Elegance, but only the Elegance collection is worth it for me. Maybe Tudor.

>>17772999
What about something like Ball or Oris? They make their own movements. Is there a real difference or am I just paying for the brand?

>>17772855
12,5mm but it's slab-sided so it looks thicker.

>>17772875
Looks more like a Casio than a Citizen to me.

>start your watch collection with a $10k rolex watch buddy

>>17772897
>It is running.
Then you only really need to fix the springbars and maybe fit a new crystal, that shouldn't cost that much. If you have the money do a clean up service, the oils in there are old and the movement would benefit from some cleaning.

Many brands say they have their own movements but these movements are based on calibers from ETA, Sellita, etc. This is the case with Oris.

>>17773014
if you own a rolex you do not need to own any other watch

>>17773009
>>17772999
>>17772977
Most of them change one tiny thing from an ETA and call it a new movement.

>>17772877
i dont wipe my ass I use the bidet shower to clean it after taking a shit, afterwards i do use a towel to dry it but at that point it's already clean

>>17773020
Rolex, Patek and Vacheron do not use ETA movements. I don't understand your post

>>17772956
Both are subpar and have no history..

>>17772907
The full shiny finishing of that Baltic looks gaudy IRL.
For microbrands i'd buy, i'd say:
-Vulcain: because the guy who owns it is at his third brand and has proper swiss training)
-Smiths: a microbrand revival too, the guy who owns this one is supposedly a douche, idk, but they chose good movements (Sellita SW200), it's always out of stock so they might be doing something right.
-Yema, i consider it a microbrand revival too, they have some QC problems but i think they are getting better

I can't think of one microbrand made from scratch that i would buy, the branding makes me cringe usually, like Brew.

>>17772190
pretty bad desu

>>17772190
I like it.

do people really jerk off over brand history

>>17772956
Why is one a gmt and the other not? Do you need a gmt? It's probably good to figure out what you want your watch to do before you pick a watch.

Also the normal more oyster like bracelet is available for the CW. But if you ask me the 36mm sealandars are classier and beat that formex any day.

>>17773034
What else do you recommend I jerk off to?

>>17772964
Absolutely not every brand does this. I'm not even going to bother listing brands that don't. It's stupid to even say that.

>>17773036
I don't need the gmt function no, just like the looks of a fourth hand

>>17773018
Another thing that is a little ambiguous is when different companies under the same umbrella use or modify each other's movements. When citizen makes automatic watches they generally use miyota movements, but citizen owns miyota, so could you call that "in-house?" Within Swatch group I believe a few of the lower end brands use their own variants of the powermatic that they give different names, like i l believe Hamiltons h-40 movement is basically a powermatic 80. Is that "in-house?"

>>17772956
Design wise, the Formex is more coherent.
Christopher Wart always have that cringy trident that has nothing to do with the logo. The design is all over the place, it's incoherent.

>>17773038

>>17773048
But damned if thry don't make beautiful dials and cases.

if a mass produced sellita or eta is cosc certified why do I have to give a shit if it's in-house or not

>>17773053
I prefer designs that make sense.
That trident is like an edgy tattoo on an weak guy.

Do you think GS had any effect on the dial-side finishing in the watch industry now that a few years have gone by?

>>17773058
You should care if you are interested in mechanical watches, simple as that.

>>17773061
thanks buddy I bought a $90 "in house movement" seiko shitter :thumbsup:

>>17773063
At the end of the day that is true, a Seiko 5 mounts a caliber in house, now it is your decision if you want to use such an imprecise watch

>>17773060
Grand Seiko has a talent for dials and hands, but to be fair, compare a Grand Seiko bracelet to a Rolex Presidential bracelet or a Royal Oak bracelet, who will win?

>>17773067
They should definitely up their bracelet game, yes. As far as dials and hands and markers is concerned i think everyone else was kind of asleep and they came and showed everyone that there is still room for improvement and that details matter.

Some say two-tone watches are boomer shit but I don't think so.

Now post the thickness

They came in
So fucking glad the dimensions are good, the glycine site is useless. Shit stock images and a useless spec sheet.
I had to go full autism and calculate the L2L:case width ratio on a bunch of similar case shapes (this and the 36mm airman purist have the same proportions looks like) to estimate a measurement. I was spot on too kek.
Love this ivory dial too, a really nice look compared to the normal stark white or cream dials that I'm used to.

>>17772875
there's a truck by this name

Nice crystal with great AR too.
Glycine is really slept on, this is easily mid-tier swatch quality and it has actual history and heritage unlike a random tissot shitter. The airman invented the GMT/dual time category of watch for newfags that don't know.

Everything you said is wrong. The main complaint about the steel ones is the weight. The steel ones are very "scratchable" and so is their IP coating.

>>17773158
I'll take some pics of the other dial colors I got when I get a sec

>>17772354
they're not disposable you reddit nerd

>>17773166
Swatch literally disposes them and just puts in a new movement when you send it in for service.
You also have no way to regulate the movement after assembly.
So yes, disposable.

>>17772958

Is there any particular reason astronauts use chopsticks rather than forks? Is it a weight saving thing? There are often other interesting explanations for these things.

>>17773230
Well anon you push the fork in to your food against a plate and there's no tables in space since no gravity to keep anything on a table, chopsticks on the other hand pinches food rather than skewering it making it much more ideal for a low gravity environment.

>>17773230
They are eating Japanese food, but I find that when getting wet food out of a bag, like kimchi, chopsticks are the best tool for the job.

Why is it so hard to find current watches with a matte, high contrast design? Even supposed tool watches have these shiny reflective dials, shiny borders on the hour markers and polished cases.

>>17773237
>Tudor Pelagos

>>17773231
It's in a container though. The container..... Contains things.

>>17773243
Yeah you're still having to press it against something, likely your hand and that's not very steady when you could just pick it up out of the air with chopsticks.

I mean do you want the answer or not? If you think NASA don't understand what a container is then you should take it up with them.

>>17773247
Have you really never eaten out of a vacuum pouch with a fork before?

that's it. I'm buying a 400 dollar citizen. the other 12000 is going into stocks. fuck spending more than 500 usd on watches, can't believe I almost fell for that shit

>>17773250
What made you change your mind?

Help me with case size bros. I'm 16.5cm around / 5.5cm across wrist. Guides say that I should go for 40mm and that is stretching it. But my coros pace 2 is 42mm and it looks fine.
I'm after a field watch that is 36mmwith 43mm lug-to-lug, is this small?

>>17773256
I realized nobody gives a fuck about what fancy watch I'm wearing and I don't particular care about watches either (I'm more of a car guy since I restore vintages). It'd be a total waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere

>>17773248
The point is anon that they're basically living and eating in a laboratory, if you do slip with your fork and drop the container or fling the contents everywhere on earth in your home that's not a big deal, coating the inside of the ISS with food is a big deal.

Again, you're not being a smarmy know it all with me, you're trying to do it with NASA lmao.

>>17773262
You make it sound like this was a sudden revelation, buying something expensive just to impress others with is retarded lmao

>>17773250
you were about to spend over 12 grand on a watch? lmao

>>17773264
I got gaslit by you fags pull up in herman gardens detroit if you wanna talk some shit bitch

>>17773262
I don't know what exactly you wanted to buy, but odds are good you could get a good automatic that is equivalent and also really nice for way cheaper than $12k. Like in the $500 to $2k range? $400 is already more than most people spend on a quartz watch and if you're willing to go up to $500-1000 there are a lot of really nice automatics you can get that nobody else in your neighborhood is going to have. You could have something cool and kind of unique and personal to yourself without breaking the bank.

>>17773267
>Gaslit
Get some self-esteem my dude, imagine feeling challenged by a thread on 4chan.

>>17773263
I don't see how using chopsticks over forks prevents any of that. I'm legitimately perplexed why someone would think this.

>>17773274
Chopsticks are better for long noodles, using a fork and sticking it in and twisting is unnatural vs just scooping the noodles up and eating.

>>17773264
>>17773266
>>17773269
>>17773273
no rolex?

>>17773239
thats just 1 example. there is also the sneedmaster but thats a retro design

>>17773274
It's quite simple anon, when you're pushing a fork into your food that involves some force and that's fine when you have a steady surface to push against, when you don't have a steady surface to push against then there's a chance that pushing force can be directed in a way that causes you to drop or flip the container which in a zero gravity environment is bad..

With chopsticks you're not pushing towards the food, it doesn't require a stable surface to push against, slipping with chopsticks is inherently safer because you're not pushing against the container because you're just plucking the food out rather than trying to dig, skewer or scoop it out with a fork.

>>17773278
Having or not having a rolex is irrelevant, the fact is if you don't want to ball out on a rolex there are a million other watches with the same or similar features at a fraction of the price. If you don't want to spend over $1000 on a good automatic there's no real reason you have to. If you WANT to, that's fine. It's it's own kind of investment in a way. Choosing to put the remainder of the $13k into other investments is also a valid choice.

>>17773289
So what if I pull it out of the package jerkingly and accidentally flop food all over the place with my chopsticks? Isn't that also bad? This is some white women in infomercials levels of clutziness you're trying to describe.

>>17773296
You don't have to jerk it out of the package like a retard, pushing the fork into food and against the container/plate is just how it works.

Like next you're going to reply
>What if I open the packet and purposely chuck the contents everywhere!? How does your precious chopsticks save you then, huh!?

>>17773289
I don't know if you realize this but a lot of an astronaut's diet consists of paste-like foods like peanut butter and things to put the paste on like tortillas. There's not really anything you'd have to stab and cut and dig into that hard that you'd have to manhandle it against your containers with your fork.

>>17773305
The question asked was why don't they use forks but chopsticks are okay, I've never made the claim they solely eat with chopsticks, have you people invested in a company trying to sell forks to NASA or something?

Watches or watches and cases? Non steel cases are rare and you know all the arguments against them. Black coated steel is even worse.

You can get some high contrast watches. Any IWC Pilots watch for instance. Bond Seamaster before they blinged them up.

>>17773308
>The question asked was why don't they use forks but chopsticks are okay
That actually was not the question. The question was is there a conscious reasoning behind using chopsticks rather than sporks or whatever, not that one was "okay" and the other isn't "okay." Maybe forks aren't okay for some reason, I'm not sure, but I'm fairly certain it's not because they are eating food so tough and rubbery that they would have to meaningfully strain to skewer it so hard that they could puncture the bag or push the bag out of their hand. Half the time I use a fork on earth I'm scooping something rather than jabbing it, it doesn't take much to jab anything, and I can almost guarantee astronauts are not eating noodles.

>>17773326
It's just the mechanics of using a fork involves *some* directional force and while the chances are low of slipping and things going flying off into the environment, it's nevertheless even less likely with chopsticks because there is no directional force involved. Deal with it, I guess?

>>17773342
Until your chopsticks slip and the food and chopsticks twist loose. There actually is directional force, you're pinching the sticks together onto the food.

>>17773292
