/fa/ - Fashion

Do I get this? I don't care about the graffiti guy but it's the cheapest all-metal casio in black.

>>17810644
I wouldn't, G-Shocks are only based on two ends of the price list. The incredibly cheap resin ones you're going to actually beat up and use as intended, and the incredibly expensive MR-G ones where you're basically making an anti-fashion statement by spending thousands of dollars on a stealth luxury "beater" watch over some wanky big boy watch.

Spending hundreds of dollars on a steel G-Shock is pointless if you are actually going to punish it in the great outdoors but at the same time the basic full metal ones still don't have the manufacturing cachet to be truly anti-fashion like the hand finished MR-G is.

Is this good? And is it really made in Japan if it says so on the dial

>>17810673
Looks OK-ish, isn't that good. Buy a Weekdater instead.

>>17810673
They are alright if a bit thick and have no manual winding, you have to wear them to keep them running. Accuracy can be tweaked up to very high standard.

>says made in japan on the dial
That means the dial itself is made in japan, and maybe the case. The movement says made in Malaysia on it.

>>17810644
I think it's a good design but look at real pictures and videos because it's glossy and that might not be what you're expecting. If you do buy it I think the price is a bit high so check ebay for open box models. There is also the matte black model which is cheaper but the top part of the bezel is a bit reflective and scratches easy. I don't think you can go wrong if you know what to expect, they are heavy steel watches at 167g.

>>17810678
Then in your opinion what's the best seiko 5s

>>17810692
Stop letting autists decide for you like some sub IQ reditor and just look up the catalog and pick which one appeals to you personally

>>17810693
but I think you guys are very smart and I value your opinion a lot

>>17810692
They are all the same and it's up to your taste.

The newer 5s feature hacking and manual winding but they also cost more and the designs are rather plain.

Applied shield with a 5 on it = old seiko 5
Printed 5 that looks sorta like the superman S = the new seiko 5.

>>17810678
>That means the dial itself is made in japan, and maybe the case. The movement says made in Malaysia on it.
kek how retarded can you be?

>>17810693
This. So much this. I created an account just to say this.

One word: post Casios

>>17810736
why is there no black/gray version?

>>17810659
The MR G line is really overdue for some minor upgrades
>proper on the fly micro adjust
>mips square display
If they put a proper SMP300 style micro adjust on the band, they’d probably sell twice as many.
Only big nerds buy top end g shock watches and big nerds love microadjust.

i had a casio f91w plastic strap but it tore away in the middle so i had to buy an replacement strap

dont buy plastic strap watches. buy steel strap watches if you care about longevity.

>be shiteling
>make a beautiful gaudy watch with great finishing that's complete eye candy
>put a generic eta movement in it that has a 48 hour power reserve and charge 6k for it

no wonder Rolex and Omegay BTFO Shiteling at that price range

>>17810770
all gaytling watches looks like shit, made for people without a natural feel for the beauty.

Why did Seiko stop making digital watches? Do they have some kind of honorary agreement with Casio?

>>17810773
well even if you think they're ugly on the outside, the good news is they're also ugly on in the inside so it doesn't matter

>>17810775
They got mogged so hard they left the market completely, aside from a few shitty plastic models

>>17810770
Their green dial navitimer chrono is the only thing they make that i like. Problem is that you can get a speedy at that same price range.

>>17810782
Probably this yeah.

>>17810749

>>17810783
You can get a black explorer 2 for around 6k serviced and it's a superior GMT and brand, Breitling would wipe the floor with Tudor with slightly better movements and cheaper prices.

>>17810775
Have you not noticed their drive to be considered more upmarket? At this point I'm certain they're purposely overpricing their watches with the misalignment, awful bracelets, poorly regulated movements they've always had and now bad specs compared to microbrands and AliExpress brands just to improve the cachet of their premium models.
Like they do this thing for each of their "legendary" models like the Turtle or Tuna where there's a shit mall watch option that will be insulting even for $500 and then a $3,000 version that is actually passable. You buy the $500 one correctly concluding that $3,000 is a retarded amount of money for a Seiko and yet, you know that the $3,000 one won't have that misaligned chapter ring, its sapphire crystal wouldn't have gotten that scratch the hardlex crystal got in the first week of ownership and you'd be getting a far more reasonable +/- 10 second a day rather than +/- 45 seconds a day and thus the longing begins.

Given enough time, they will no longer need to produce $500 shitters because everyone will have concluded that only $3,000 gets you a Seiko worth buying.

>>17810803
And the recent popularity of Grand Seiko is probably the reason for that.

>>17810803
My Presage SARX027 is rated at +15/-25. But out of the box and even now after owning it for 6 years, it gets like -2 a day.
The shitty ratings they have is most likely just to cover their asses.

>>17810677
I've been looking for your model of weekdater, I really think the lume brings the whole design together. Bought a real cheap beat up version and really like the proportions.

>>17810832
Yeah well when you're dropping that kind of money on a Seiko, doubling it gets you a Grand Seiko which feels less stupid than spending thousands on just a Seiko.

No doubt eventually they'll start pulling that shit Rolex does where despite having a manufacturing capacity of millions of watches are year they're never in stock anywhere because it's JUST so in demand because so many people drop this amount of money on watches that you'll be LUCKY to even get the CHANCE to buy a GRAND SEIKO

>>17810795
i simply cannot not stand cyclopses.

I would by a date-just with a fluted bezel and jubilee if not for the fucking ugly ass cyclops

>>17810929

Are there any stylish fitness trackers that are not the Apple watch? I'm thinking about this G-Shock but wonder if there are better options.

>>17810929
There has to be 1000 options for this if you actually wanted it.

Was considering a PRX but I think I may have been priced out of the market...

(obviously I'm having a giggle at the typo).

>>17810895
I'd buy one at about $1500 USD price point. They're not worth the $2000+ they want for them to me. This reminds me of Rolex desu.

Damn, imagine what it costs with the metal bracelet.

>send seiko out to repair guy via my local jeweler because it's always held time like shit (+30s a day, power reserve doesn't last more than a few hours)
>get told it needs a new main spring, get quoted $450 (including cleaning which is $130 by itself)
Are they trying to rip me off here? An entire new movement (6r15) seems to only be like $200.

>>17810803
I bought a chinkmartin 62 because I didn't want the pay 4000€ for an smaller 62mas ,the jews make the normal models big and decrease its size only in limited editions,also they put average movements in every model.

>>17811031
Yes and no, that is a fucking ridiculous amount of money to service a Seiko, but AFAIK that is the amount Seiko claims servicing costs.

>>17811034
Honestly I don't even see the shame in getting Seiko clones from China, it's not the same as with the Rolex and Omega clones because while Seiko is a very well known and highly respected brand, it's not a desirable marque in the same way Rolex is.
It's kind of like buying one of those Chinese copies of Honda bikes called a Hongda or some shit, no one's going to say
>Couldn't afford a Honda?
especially since unlike the Hongda, the San Martin is actually going to be better made than the Japanese original even despite costing less.

Imagine shilling chink watches

>>17810673
ugly dial but the 7S26 movement is reliable

>>17811048
Imagine shilling Japanese watches, literally what's the difference if you're shilling another nation's watches?

>>17811060
Supporting literal slave labor. You're not buying automatic watches on Amazon for $90 without slave labor.

>>17811064
One of the main reasons I don't condone that shit nor cheap clothing

>>17810953
>fitness tracker
Depends entirely on what specific features you want. For a very simple fitness watch the mi bands are fine and there is spyware free software you can get for your phone to interact with them, garmin has some more advanced options. When it comes to g-shock fitness watches you need to watch an in depth review for the specific model you are interested in because some function much better than others.

>>17811064
>>17811067
People are really inconsistent on what is slave labor, the hearts are bleeding for the Chinese working in a nation where standards of living are ever increasing while the poor sods at McDonalds in Alabama deserve the situation where they have to work overtime to be able to clothe their kids.

It is tuesday, my dudes.

>>17811072

>>17810673
>>17810678

SNKP15J1 has Japan on the movement as well as the dial. It's the K1 that says Malaysia

pros: It's good for the price, bracelet doesn't deviate much/links are well designed, dial is sunburst, case is decent size
cons: bracelet is light, no manual winding, no hacking, indices ring looks plastic-y on the blue variant

movement is solid and the design looks nice on the bracelet or a leather strap, note that the lume isnt actually square, but circles inside each of those hour marker squares

>>17811083
Well each to their own, I wouldn't even enter the state of Alabama let alone work there for any amount of money.

>>17811096
As bad as you think Alabama, anywhere you could possibly be in China is worse. Unless you're rich enough that normal people problems don't affect you, in which case anywhere you might choose to live is fine.

>>17810630
can anyone explain to me why you would buy a watch that advertizes durability when said durability is priced at more less durable watches than one could hope to break? sounds dumb, economically speaking.

>>17811082
>China
>A nation that has a word for being exploited like a mineral and checking out of society.
>The government is begging people to have more children because of their aging population and poor replacement rate even mandating that party members have more children and people just plain refuse.
>If the intentional floods don't kill you then the poisoned food and lack of hospital services will.
Look at all those Japanese people escaping their hellhole, wait, that's actually the Chinese fleeing en masse.

>>17811116
>>17811111
Well haven't you been keeping up with your YouTube videos, China is going to collapse literally this Saturday you guys, they're dead serious this time!

>>17811113
Economically it is better to spent $2000 in a watch that is less likely to break. It's just a nice piece of mind knowing your valuable will keep working and you wont need to spend hundreds in repair and maintenance costs.

>>17811122
The world, like a house, needs a toilet and China is the world's toilet.

>>17811125
I think what anon is getting at is that if you have the choice of either one $2000 "durable" watch and 20 $100 watches, are you really likely to break all 20 watches to make the $2000 one more economically worthwhile? Bearing in mind $100 watches are either going to be a somewhat decent Quartz or a Seiko movement and those aren't considered to be especially fragile either.
But I'll add to that in pointing out that durable watches don't just cost $2000, they cost $2000 plus the cost of servicing it over how ever many times it needs servicing in your life and that can cost more than $100 itself as well.

>>17811129
What?

>>17810895
yeah i have a feeling grand seiko might pull this shit lol

>>17811131
It's quite simple, I even made a visual for it. Take your favorite watch and make it better, in this case, titanium, DLC, and sapphire. It makes perfect sense economically.

>>17811156
I'm willing to wager that removing the shock absorbing qualities of resin does not make the watch more durable.

>>17811064
Honest question. What's wrong with slave labor in a foreign country?
It gets me what I want at a lower price.

I really hate the "Fair Trade" stamp I see in a bunch of products. All that tells me is that the product sellers got lazy didn't even make an effort to get the you (the buyer) a lower price.

>>17811129
That's the Philippines. All nations worldwide send them their trash.

>>17811030
Kek.

>>17811169
Slave labor is just a buzzword used in geopolitics to criticise in other countries what you'd call the "under privileged" in your own country, people unironically say they won't buy something because of "foreign slave labor" but are quite happy playing the role of mighty Caesar whenever the issue of tipping comes up shows that no one on this planet gives two fucks about ensuring everyone is getting a fair trade while at work.

>>17811179
That's the thing.
The "underprivileged" are getting economic activity in the form of work that wouldn't otherwise exist.

The other option for them is to continue to eat dirt.

>>17811175
>All nations worldwide send them their trash.

>>17811275
There's no quote in the post?

This is the only gshock i find good looking, saw it in some anons collection the other day. I dont like it 300 dollars worth, but id pay 30-40 for it if there is a simmilar version at that price point

>>17811275
>What does tipping have to do with it?
The fact that it's a custom that waiters and waitresses depend on tips to make up their salary, but that it's also a gratuity you don't need to pay if you don't want to. So we could be in a cafe having a discussion about how terrible it is that slaves in China get paid so little, while at the same time I could be having a waiter running around after each and every whim I have and at the end of the day decide, nah I wasn't happy with the service and I'm not giving a tip. It's just ironic to be clutching pearls about slave labor in China but at the same time be fine with the custom of payment for someone's labor being optional.

>>17811035
Shit that's insane. Looks like the main spring itself can be found for $75. This is probably going to be the last seiko I ever bought. Sent it to them under warranty to fix originally and they didn't do fucking shit with it.

>>17811293
Again this is no doubt part of this >>17810803 that $450 service cost is much easier to swallow for a watch that cost $3000 than it does for a $500 watch, essentially you buy the $500 Turtle and when it costs $450 to service it and realise they recommend you service it every 3 goddamn years, that's going to quickly add up to the $3000 for the premium Turtle anyway.

>>17811297
Yeah that is snaky as fuck. Just wish they could actually fix their own shit under warranty. It's the blue alpinist which exploded in value due to the meme limited edition release so I'm still going back and forth if it's worth fixing

>>17811182
It's also an important part of nation building, fact is that while the United States is the wealthiest nation in history now it wasn't always so rich, its earliest economic activity was unironically dependent on slavery and when industrialisation came men, women and children all worked long hours, without two day weekends in unsafe working conditions where getting maimed and rendered unable to work would have you out on the street and people had to riot and get shot even to change this because the powers that be were so unwilling to not treat people like slaves.

There's no way China or any poor nation can just snap their fingers and go from impoverished agricultural backwater to modern industrial power without that rather brutal process, if they could and did, that would seriously cast US history in a new light.

Is Frederique Constant a decent brand or are they chinese shitters with a Swiss wrapper? I want a mechanical/automatic dress watch but I don't want to spend $2,000 on it.

>>17811313
They're owned by Citizen and assembled in Switzerland.

>>17811289
Waiters make more with tips than they could ever possibly make without. A good waitress makes more money than her manager.

>>17811466
Swiss shitters are actually just overpriced chinese shitters.
Just cut out the middleman.

>>17811040
Yes,I bought it for that reason,the reissues being extremely expensive considering the specs, I mean, they make a 1800 watch limited edition,put a mid tier movement (not even base GS) that you can get in a 600€ watch,and change some of the sizing so the next reissue they can change a bit its size and keep milking the 62mas reissue. So I said,fuck it and I spent 400€ on a chinese watch with apparently a Sellita movement that runs at +3spd,it has a sapphire glass, and a cerqmic bezel while the original 4000€ reissue has aluminium. And the best part is that the watch has the same size as the original vintage watch,no more,no less.

Yes good. All the nitpicking is nice and all, but for the money ya its good. Also, who complains about it being automatic?!

>>17811266

>>17811584
Me, if an automatic movement is considered a "workhorse" movement then I'm not interested and prefer a Quartz movement because that's also a workhorse movement but better at being one.

Like Anon ITT has a Seiko where the servicing was quoted at $450 when the movement itself is only $200, so what's the point of that? The watch is a write off on its first service, while a quartz will just need a battery change.

>>17811578
Does it really need to be that thicc?

>>17811578
Reminds me of this.

>>17811324
where did you find this?

>>17811031
Where do you live that the service costs so much? I paid 100€ for a disassembly, new mainspring, cleaning, repair and regulation of my 60yo Seiko movement at my local watchmaker the first time and 40 for repair and regulation the second time. They are surely trying to rip you off. Don'tgo to a Seiko service, just find some regular old guy that repairs all kinds of watches, he should be able to get it fixed for cheaper.

reminder that most watch youtubers are absolutely clueless idiots regurgitating the same bs they've got from other clueless idiots

>>17811618
Eh that's still a technicality, if you for some reason value having the exact same movement in your watch from the day you purchased it forever and they're still replacing the movement with a pre-serviced one while sending your movement to be serviced elsewhere and eventually given to a different watch as a time saving measure, that's still throwing away the movement as far as the owner is concerned.

>>17811618
Which watch is he talking about?

>>17811618
that reminds me of a YT from my country, probably the most known as he got a bday gift from patek. After me making some comments about techical aspects of the movements it seems like the dude doesn't know a lot, just the basic specs he can read on the brand website, he is not aware of any design flaw or technical aspects that a watchmaker and even a watch nerd would know.

Reason 100 that I don't listens to loud mouthed fatties on youtube. If you sell something and endorse it without telling me why your full of shit imo. Tissot's are generally decent and while I'm not a watch maker a family friend was a Jeweler. I've personally fixed probably 20 watches.

>>17811647
I saw a review of a marine master 300 that was like £3000 on the sticker price and while it all lined up properly and had the "undecorated Grand Seiko movement" in the macro shots you could see that the printing on the dial was fucking shit and the centre links were still fucking rolled links and the clasp looked pretty tinny as well. Literally what the fuck Seiko? They just want to be Grand Seiko exclusively at this point, they clearly can't be bothered with the non-luxury end of the market anymore, profit margins aren't high enough.

>>17811654
Doesn't suprise me. I had 2 Seiko 5's when they first came out. 2 because the first one was faulty and initially the guy didn't even want to send it back to Seiko. He ended up sending them 5 or more in one go according to him.
Hardly a flawless product.

>>17811293
>mainspring is 75$
what the fuck lmao, I thought those shits are like a new crystal, easier to buy new instead of having the tools to properly maintain them

>>17811642
I hate aliexpress lume

>>17811654
>the printing on the dial was fucking shit
I sincerely doubt that. If there's one thing Seiko does incredibly well it's printing, they spawned Epson after all. The print on my near 60 year old Weekdater is flawless.

Some people on this board will hate this watch just because Grand Seiko is written on it, can you imagine...

>>17810770
YOU vill buy zhe quartz watch for 4k and YOU vill be happy!

>>17811696

>>17811698
Don't hate it, but there's no colour there at all which feels weird for a GMT watch

>>17811706
the old model (sbgn003) had the GMT hand in red. I like the design of this one but you're right, for practicality it would be harder to read.

>>17811701
As far as flash sports watches go I don't hate that, the branding on the strap is particularly nice in an over the top way.

>>17811714
but would you pay 4k for it tho?

on a side note, I really like this GMT from Longines too but again I feel like its lacking some color pop.

>>17811736
Timex is the OG Casio.

>>17811737
My point is rather that this watch is marketed to "athletes" who rather use a Garmin 1/10 of the price of the Breitling's price. They're already paying professional triathletes and cyclists to wear this watch.

>>17811739
I hate that watch. I hate all dive watches. Most people here do because this isn't reddit. If you're going to get one, at least get an Omega. If you have money, get a rolex submariner.

Not based. Those are regular quartz watches without a sweeping seconds hand. They suck compared to spring drive and you bought it as a cope. You can get the dial for one and insert it in any watch and could have saved thousands. You went full retard by not spending another 30% more on a spring drive.

I always knew Citizen were the best. This video proves their Super Titanium is God tier.

>>17811614
Greater Boston area which has a surprising lack of legit watch makers. Outside of the snobby places that won't look at anything that isn't a rolex that you bought from them, closest place that offered service is a jeweler that just ships it out to some 3rd party (one I got the quote from). Next closest place is over 30 minutes away and doesn't service seikos in house (only swiss even though they sell seiko) and sends them out to seiko. I already tried the seiko service center a few years ago and they didn't do shit. Looks like I'll have to drive further/look practically inside Boston but I feel they'll try to rip me off too.

>>17811742

A 450 quote seems more like a problem with the watchmaker than with the movement. Picrel was serviced for about 400 including polishing the bezel a bit, a new crystal and a bunch of new parts.

Like all the other Submariner wannabes in the dive watch space. Fascinating to me how dive watch aficionados geek out about every tiny nuance in models that at a high level are all just Rollie ripoffs.

Fuck off, keep coping with your swiss turds harder. Why doesn't Rolex polish the edges of the hands? Diamond indexes where? Do you really think that black paint dial without even a sunburst acceptable on any watch? Orient does it for 200$ and rolex doesn't.

It saw the bomb fell in 1945
Grand Seiko movement finishing was more or less the same than today.

What's the Japanese watch brand that used Japanese numerals and started with w?
It was wa-something, I can't find it in my gallery
Watch looked fairly cheap, it was maybe $50 but definitely less than $200. White background, black lettering, no lume

can't stop thinking about her,,,

>>17812757
You mean like this?
Definitely not $200 though.

>>17812764

Buy it. Do it.

who thinks this looks good?

>>17812833
Probably Casio? Not sure though

are there any watches with this kind of look?

>>17812865
Yes but aren't these "inspired" watches kinda larpy

>>17812872
i should have specified
i dont mean the camera but the golden color of the brass being visible where the black paint wore down
i just love this look and it would look cool on a watch i think

Thinking of picking up one of these for 30% off. Should I go for something else for the price?

>>17812897
this looks like a random mall watch if you remove the JLC logo ngl

>>17812898
I kinda dig the internal bezel and the finishing, though. However, now you've put the thought in my mind, any other dressy suggestions at this range? I wanted to hit a balance b/w dressy and divelarper

>>17812901
Longines legend diver?

>>17812905
Not him,that's probably the dressier dive watch currently on the market, and one of the better looking too. Seriously considering getting the 36mm one, although I'm not sure if the 39mm version that will come in the future will suit me better, my wrists are average at most and overall I like the small watch look on me, the 39 version apparently will have cosc cert and 70h pwer reserve, but the 36mm movement is not bad at all I guess, and of course, the price is lower.

>>17812913
And didn't mention the 42mm version because it has extrely long lug to lug distance at 52mm.

>>17812905
nice call, I'm going to the city this weekend so I'll see if I can try one on. I do hope they have something blue though. By no means a deal breaker, I just like blue lol.

>>17812922
maybe you will be lucky, they is a nice looking blue legend diver in both sizes.

>thinking long and hard about getting a 600€ GPU that will let me play games with amazing graphics and mess with AI
>yet dont think twice about spending 600€ on a watch

Why am I like this.

I feel like being immersed in the watch hobby shifts the concept of what is a reasonable price. When you are surrounded by 10,000€ watches 600€ sounds like pennies when that can get you some nice midrange technology that lets you do or experience cool stuff as opposed to a watch with a cheap off the shelf movement and subpar finishing.

>>17810735
Good morning sirs

>>17812449
Nice but imo they are far too attached to their blue. There isn't another brand in the world that makes all of their watches in one color.

>>17810944

Unironically better looking than DJ.

>>17813032
I agree.

>>17812946
I like watches, I find them interesting and I want to learn more about them. Maybe I will make my own watch some time. But watch """collecting""" is just hoarding and mindless consumption in 99% of cases. If you want a mechanical watch, get a Rolex you like and be done with it. If you don't have the money, buying $1000 shitters is pure cope. Buy a plastic digital Casio or quartz PRX.

why do some tick and why do some glide?

>>17813130
see >>17811927

>>17813132
I don't understand

>>17810735
Ageing line.

>>17813130
Quartz watches tick, usualy once per second, because they use less electricity that wayand the battery will last you a reasonable amount of time. Some tick 4 times a second, but they're rare.
Mechanical watches also tick, anywhere from 4 to 10 times a second, because that's the nature of the mechanical movement.
Spring Drive is a sort of quartz mechanical hybrid (it's complicated so i won't go into it now) and it doesn't tick, it glides.

>>17813144

Redpill me on Casio MIP screens. I want a durable Casio with a MIP and solar capabilities, but don’t want the bullshit fitness tracking and rechargeable bs.

Anon is not wrong. Requiring 'history' to be a prerequisite to purchase a watch is low IQ. If you like the look and feel, those are good enough reasons to purchase. Do you also look into the 'history' before purchasing other products like clothes, accessories, jewelry? If you do, you're wasting your time on drivel that only women care about. Are you a woman, anon?

>>17813422

>>17813422
>If you like the look and feel, those are good enough reasons to purchase
No they aren't.

>Do you also look into the 'history' before purchasing other products like clothes, accessories, jewelry?
Yes. My wardrobe is old money Italian labels. Don't drive a Tesla either. Only a bitch would care about how nice something looks first and not see the two things in combination. A cheap and meaningless watch is irrelevant and basically will never be remembered by anybody. You would only buy it if you won't be remembered either.

>>17813456
Like he said.

>>17813377
If the watch is so fucking great why didn't the owner just give me one reason he bought it straight up? One reason other than
>it looks nice

Seriously tell me how it is remarkable, tell me how it isn't just a mega corporation making a throwaway product with a dated design. If you buy an Omega you should buy a real one, not a nu-Omega that was invented some 10 years ago.

Don't come at me with that
>yachting Seamaster
bullshit. The AT has nothing in common with the old on-deck Seamaster, the dress watch that is. Just because they put boat deck dials on it it doesn't make it so. It's a watch that competes with the 3-hand Carrera, that's the only reason Omega brought it out. It was meant to be an entry level Omega to compete with Tag.

It's not a real watch, it's something thought up by marketing people in a board room 20 years ago.
