>I only buy watches with history. History is a prerequisite to purchase a watch. Look and feel are not good enough reasons to purchase. 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.

>>17813530
Imagine being this butthurt and triggered over getting called out on your bad purchase. Why don't you explain why you bought the AT then? Is it THAT shitty that you can't even come up with a fake reason?

You're not, btw.

is this watch better than a tudor?

Pic related is of three open-heart models in my price range (sizes are not to scale). For all these models, the center bearing of the exposed balance wheel is not aligned with the horizontal center of the watch (green lines). Sure, the Hamilton and Tissot supposedly both share the same ETA calibre (supposedly, ETA's H-10), but even with the Baume & Mercier, that bearing is not aligned.

Can we have an educated horological discussion about why these models---any many other models not included in the picture---are not aligned? Is there something fundamental to a movement's design why alignment is not (easily) accomplished?

Thanks for your input.

Absolutely and indisputably not.

>>17813719
I don't care about your inane question, just popping in to say that all 3 of those look like absolute dogshit and if you are even considering purchasing one, there is something seriously wrong with your brain.

>>17813719
It's not aligned because it was never intended to be seen from the front, as it was never intended to be an open dial. When shitty brands take a generic movement and make a generic hole in the dial, this is what happens.
Only watches that have been planned from before making the movement can escape this hell, and most of the times they either do a total skeletonized concept (like PP), or they go exploded movement design, (like AP). In both cases, the price is total bonkers.

cope buddy. no one needs more than one watch, therefore no one ever should take off their watch, making power reserve a total nothingburger.

>>17813719
Open hearts look tasteless.

>>17813855
Fuck thats why I hate them so much. I just imagine meeting some random dude with an open heart watch desperate for me to ask about it as if I don't fucking care if I'm not into watches.

>>17813719
Open heart watches do not look good. Ever. They are a cope for true skeletonized watches or watches with a dial side remontoir or tourbillon. I truly do not know who buys these.

>mogs you with a multiple year power reserve

is this cope for manual winding watches

>>17813903
Everything is cope unless you're dropping +30k for a watch.

>>17813908
the movement is automatic but they removed the self-winding parts and made it a manual kek

>>17813924
Nigger, I'm just stating we buy cope watches. I won't ever be able to buy a +30k watch either.

>>17813928
>>17813908
Honestly, the space between a couple of grands, top, and 30k is a lot much bigger than the space between 30k and 100k.

2k to 30k = 15 times more
30k to 100k = 3.3 times more

No

>>17813779
No, black bay was a sporty daily watch, workhorse movement so it could be repaired easily. Now it is a dressy watch more than sporty, and the movement is not an upgrade at all, the watch already had good accuracy because it was a top movement and finely tuned, so the new watch is just a worse version and more expensive, and if it fails it will take a lot of servicing time and cost. And no smiley text, lmao.

Do you think that they think that they are creative geniuses and masters of watch design? I'm curious as to whether or not it's just one guy vomiting forth these overwrought monstrosities out of his head or whether or not it's a committee sort of deal where they all have a good laugh at the thought that some moron out there will actually like the shit they came up with as a joke enough to spend $200 on it.

To be honest some luxury watch brands also make similar monstrosities from time to time.

A quartz watch has superior accuracy and precision and can be manufactured at a fraction of the cost of old watches.
Quartz which changed the world. A quartz watch may have an analog dial and may be made of gold and adorned with as many precious stones as any of watch. (Let's be frank, after quartz, mechanical watches should be referred to as old or even ancient technology.)

So then, it's justified to pose the simple question, why ever buy a mechanical watch? Well, because of the mechanics (i.e., gears, spring, and movement thereof) and the finery of special handiwork such as perlage and guilloche, silly! And if the mechanics also command a premium fee, then why not have the ability to actuality see those special mechanics and handiwork? Therefore, it's almost expected to have an open heart or skeleton watch with a mechanical.

If I'm going to spend the money on a mechanical watch, then I want to see those mechanics. If not, then I'm just getting a quartz, digital or analog.

tl;dr Buy quartz if you're not seeing the mechanics. (Pic unrelated)

>see a watch i like

You posted in the right thread. I have a 7s pro sap solar. I do really like it, you get the full experience when it's paired with an android phone.

>>17814296
tl;dr soijacknig
nah

>>17813719
Don’t get an open heart watch the cheap movements aren’t finished well and the constant exposure to light degrades the oils they used to lube the movement. Go display case back if you want to be able to see the movement whenever you want

>>17814273

I'm selling my 2017 Seamaster today. Right before covid I realized how much I was hating on all my automatic watches for losing time.

It was even within spec but it just loses too much time to be useful. Perhaps if I was just wearing it as jewelry like Rolex owners do I wouldn't care, but my watches need to be accurate, I make money off my time. Outside of something special I just can't go for automatic watches anymore.

Maybe when I retire and the only thing I care about being on time for is my pickleball reservation I'll jump back into autos but for my money making years no.

>>17814343
what about your work requires you to know exactly what time it is

>>17814339
are military issue watches even a thing anymore or is it just larp now?

>>17814350
Marathon still produce for certain branch but for most corp, they let you choose your watch as long as its precise and durable thats why most military personel choose G-Shocks and Timex Ironman, they are cheap and reliable.

>>17814343
keep your watch and buy a quartz daily beater. If you need money, sell it.

>>17814298
Pic unrelated? That watch is in stock on the official site and hundreds of other authorized and unauthorized sellers. It's going to be available for a while. Most limited edition G-Shocks have enough quantity that anyone that wants one can get one even months after release, sometimes even discounted. Rarely do they make numbered releases or small limited editions that sell out fast but those are usually collaborations mainly for collectors.

>>17814353
not in my country
its sold out everywhere and resellers want over MSRP which was already pretty high for a resin g-shock with a basic module

>>17814355
>a resin g-shock with a basic module
You shouldn't buy a product you don't understand. What shithole do you live in?

>>17814360
>You shouldn't buy a product you don't understand

what do you mean? the case might be steel but the rest is resin and the glass is mineral

>>17814349
maybe the guy's a trader or a lawyer.

>>17813534

OP here. I bought the watch because I liked it and I could afford it, simple as that. Right size, design, functions, etc. I can dress it up or down and it makes me feel good when I wear it. While I do like learning about the history of watch brands and their milestones, it is by no means a requirement for me when it comes to buying a watch. Not sure why that upsets you so much.

>>17814366
why does a lawyer need to know the time with +-2s precision and why does a trader need a wristwatch when his pc or trading terminal has a clock synced to the internet?

>>17814372
Maybe he wants to calculate billables or some shit on a really high profile matter. I'm stretching though. As for trades yeah idk.

Sporting? Maybe nigga wants a speedy or something lol

>>17814372
lots of dumb posts on /wt/ but this one right here is up there.

>>17814372
>+-2s precision

what world do you live in that you get +-2s in 6 months? try losing 18 min after 6 months.

>>17814378
you have to set the date every second month on that Omega anyways, just correct the time while youre at it

>>17814362
The whole point of the watch is the recrystallized case back and buckle, again, if you don't understand the price, don't buy. Now tell me where you live, I want to see if I could find the watch there.

>>17814385
That is the solution? I need to just do all the extra work for this $5000 machine?

Now about no.

reminder that automatic watches are fashion accessories and not tools

>>17814394
>automatic watches are fashion accessories

Truth, never buy an auto expecting any sort of accuracy. Spending your money on jewelry is okay, spending your money on unreliable tools is dumb.

>>17814394
that's why I only buy watches with handwinding movements

>chronograph
>countdown bezel
>date
>alarm
>200M water resistance

basically a mechanical g-shock

>>17814408
>basically a mechanical g-shock
This is my life, I've spent so much time trying to find the perfect watch while avoiding crappy g shocks just to eventually give in and buy a crappy gshock that does it all.

I'm mad that it doesn't exist, but happy I can stop spending metal energy on this shit.

>>17814403
I don't understand what else it could be. any $20 casio shitter is more accurate than even the most expensive automatic and a $100 gshock has more functions than even the most absurdly engineered chiming perpetual calendar. so what else are they if not fashion accessories

>>17814407

In the movie it's a "fake" Patek Philippe, i.e., a model that doesn't exist. If I recall correctly, in the book he wears some Patek passed to him by his father.

>>17814298
anyways what do you think is better this or pay a bit more for one of the sub 1k all metal g-shocks? the gold screen and accents are cool but so is all metal

>>17814454
Yes

>>17814426
>I don't understand what else it could be
I agree, autos are just jewelry. They are just half a level above those "watch cufflinks" in terms of accuracy.

The problem is there are people out there that believe they are reliable tools, however some are trolls on /wt/.

I've been in the "watch journalism" space for many years now. Everyone out here has multiple autos and changes them based on mood and outfit, they agree it's a fashion item. When anyone them flies or are around the house they wear apple watches. Some of them publicly admit it, some only say it to other "journalists" on discord but they all do.

I want a watch that signals I fuck a lot, like all the time, as much a possible.
All I do is fuck, and fucking is all I do.
What is my time piece? Under 200 USD.

>>17814463
>5610 and alie metal mod for sub 200$ total

>>17814476
Glad you asked, I have just the watch for you.

That's unobtanium

>>17813968
I would like if they changed the Pro Trek font. They're actually nice looking and cool but the font ruins it for me.

this with an aliexpress titanium mod is the ultimate watch

Been eyeing this for a year now finally pulled the trigger got it on steel mesh but also spent $550 for the rubber bracelet with clasp to abuse at the gym. I have been day dreaming about the personal satisfaction of hitting a lift then a 30 min swim using the diver bezel to time myself and then 20 min in the sauna timing with he bezel only problem is I think its TOO nice I have abused the shit out of my seiko and citizen divers and chrono in the same fashion's and they are perfect but I am nervous about this one for some reason any other Breitling boys wear theirs every day all day ?

>>17814270
>There's no self-awareness among those that buy invicta RESERVE (tm)
Invictas are future classics. First they'll go entirely out of fashion and many mechanical ones will get discarded as getting them repaired won't be economical but a few decades later they will be regarded as the most iconic watches of the first quarter of the 21st century. They'll be highly collectable, especially amongst a new generation of SEA watch collectors, with the most obscene and morbidly oversized limited edition models fetching exorbitant prices. Unironically the best long term investment pieces in the market.

>>17814725
I do that, I'm also not trying to sell a $200 used watch for $200.

I told the sales rep at breitling my intentions he said the divers are sealed off pretty well plus the screw down obviously helps and should take the abuse as long as I am not going from sauna to jumping back in pool (could cause crystal to crack) Curious why you said not to sauna with the clock as you post a pic of you doing it ?

it's called dw-5600bb-1er

There's no book.
The original script called for a valuable watch, the only thing of value left to him by his father. Brand not specified. Producer or director was a major patekfag and so had that fake cobbled together.

i dont like that one. is there a identical version of the one i posted, but without solar charging?
i never cared for gshock, but i saw that one the other day and i really like it. dont want to drop 300 on plastic watch tho

>>17814964
solar is based and >>17814885 has a metal core. the resin band is also great but you can replace it if you like

Get it or nah?

>Any other watchmakers here?
lolno

The only people in watch threads are:

braggarts who post stock images of Rolex and Omega, but don't actually own one

self-claimed millionaires that shit on you, but never post their own watch

legit Rolex posters who just show their watch with no text in their post

people with legitimate questions about watches, horology, et cetera, and get one real response for every five insults

people asking for opinions for a purchase

meme posters

Look at either nanuk or pelican, and just get one with the pick n' pluck foam.

This is a good looking watch

I'm looking for a watch with a nautical feel that isn't a dive watch, under 10k

>>17814368
I think it’s nice

>>17815400

something like those old boat race watches?

They’re just way too thick looking for my tastes. I prefer slimmer watches.

>>17814728
>>17814763
Why doesn’t seiko just produce more weekdaters if it’s such a popular model? Makes no sense to me.

Omega is the most pathetic brand a watch collector could own. You just KNOW it’s nothing but Rolex cope. Even moreso than Tudor. Because it has that name recall with normals but anyone who is even slightly into the scene knows it deep down side.

Rolex. Cope.

>>17815456
yeah because getting negged by a rolex dealer is dignified

>>17815452
Who said it was a popular model? I was joking when i said mine was famous, and anyway famous does not equal popular. It's a hidden gem from 60 years ago, they were produced for less than 4 years so there aren't that many around to begin with, alao not many people know about it, the focus is mainly on vintage divers and modern Seikos. As to why Seiko doesn't make them again, beats me, they definitely should, it's a great design and pretty unique, if i had any say i would reissue it under Grand Seiko as a DayDate alternative. Knowing how modern Seiko is right now though they would most likely fuck it up, it'd be too big and too thick so they might as well not.
I just love the watch, simple as.

>>17815400
I really like the new Tag Heuer Skipper. It's an acquired taste but I think Tag has done good work here to refresh the old model. It has a nice nautical vibe color scheme to it.

If my memory is correct, the old model was produced in the 60s for the American yatch racing cup boat Intrepid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrepid_(yacht)

>>17815476
>>17815400
This was one of the vintage model.

>>17815456
I have both Omega and Rolex watches. I prefer my Omegas.

I got a feeling you don't own neither, like all other bitch ass whinning poorfag like you. Don't worry, your Seikos are nice too, stop crying.

Why would an anarchist like him wear a watch? If a watch was needed, he would probably "borrow" one.

>>17815140

looks pretty good, not as thick as some other chronographs either but maybe that's because it's manual wound

Poorfag here, is there any repro/hommage/similar watch to Brad Pitt's bullhead Citizen in OUATIH for dirt cheap? The original has like doubled in price since the movie released, and I don't want to pay that much for a meme watch.

>>17815314
as someone who is into mecha I'm so obsessed with these futuristic g-shock designs but the prices are just insane. Since the module costs almost nothing is the material and finishing really a good reason for this to be 1600€+? Why couldn't they just have it widely available for a reasonable price? I would pay 1000€ and thats still an insane price for a g-shock. I would be willing to cope with mods if there was 1 store with a good reputation selling them and not 100 different vendors each only with a handful of feedback.

Attractive watch. Would prefer it to be closer to $400 than $600. I wouldn't pay >500 for it, especially since the black doesn't come with the full titanium bracelet.

You should be able to get most Citizens for a 20-30% discount at an AD, same as with Seiko and Oris watches.

Hey that's a good looking Orient wa~
>WATER RESISTANT
Oh, nevermind

can you get a sub date (12660LN) for msrp with waiting times at ad's for 11k$? I'm in jewrop
or have prices doubled or quadroupled or what? because some places I see are pure retardation

>>17815770
actually the ref is 126610LN my b

>>17815770
Voto an AD and ask, they should be able to give you an approximate wait time.

>>17813698
I can afford one but the prospect of having to play the mutual masturbation game with the AD makes me incredibly angry
>oh that silver OP is not for sale
Fuck off. There’s a church lady that my family is friends with that’s an AD and I’ll ask her if I can get allocated otherwise wont even bother with these subhuman sales wagies

>>17815781
wondering I should hop in a queue now if I wanna consider copping in 2-3 years

>>17815803
I feel like if you wait that long they threw your info on into the trash when they got it

>>17815739
Nope, it's a "normal" chronograph movement.

>>17815782
The ad game filters out autists who think they’re too good to talk to people like you

>>17815826

>>17815782
that specific one in your pic shouldn't be hard to get, depending on what country you live in.

>>17815734
>>17815739
I'll solve, it's the IWC in house modified VJ7750 chronograph movement with proprietary seconds module at 6, new escapement, weaker mainspring, less friction, new bridges, sliced up baseplate, and more.

Pic related is the face of the movement. Nearly 20 years in my watch without service and still running at +4s per day - incredible.

>>17815831
AD people anger me so much.

They act like they are ANYTHING more than a glorified sales cuck. The managers decide who gets the watches and who doesn’t.

>>17815839
It’s literally a more glorified gig that noskills and useless people do to

>thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's Casio

>>17815842
Agreed. Walked into my AD and he was trying to talk to me about about economics and finance when I told him my job is a financial accountant for a major Corp in our area and I straight up told him I wasn’t interested and just wanted to look at watches.

I’m not talking business with a guy who’s never opened a book in his life.

btw, is there a tier system in quality for rubber/resin straps in watches and is there any difference? I already knew they are cuck shit in general but I pulled out my f91w out of a box I had it in the other day again and I bent the strap and it cracked instantly, like soft brittle liquorice candy or a soft cake it could be snapped off easily

tldr f91w strap after 10-15 years will melt apart

>>17815579
>Since the module costs almost nothing is the material and finishing really a good reason for this to be 1600€+?
That's not true for any watch but you don't bat an eye at $5k+ steel watch with a basic movement.
>Why couldn't they just have it widely available for a reasonable price?
They have the same watch for $500 if you don't want to pay for titanium, for $300 if you don't want a to pay for a steel band and bracelet, and for $100 if you don't want to pay for a steel case. You have infinite choices.
>I would pay 1000€ and thats still an insane price for a g-shock.
For the hundredth time you can get it for that much used from Japan.
>I would be willing to cope with mods if there was 1 store with a good reputation selling them and not 100 different vendors each only with a handful of feedback.
They're all the same.

>>17815884
With Casio, you just can't lose

>>17815906
It varies too much from model to model to express easily but usually you get better bands as you go up in price. I'm surprised you got over 10 years from an F91W strap, I think I barely got 3. I feel like they are almost designed to break. I think once you get to a basic G-Shock they last longer but it depends on your wear pattern. I think cleaning your watch regularly helps.

>mechanical watches lose time
>automatics lose time
why haven't you take the solar quartz pill? don't tell me your time is worthless?

>>17815921
>I'm surprised you got over 10 years from an F91W strap, I think I barely got 3.
that's because it's been completely unused, battery still runs fine
it's been more than 10 too, but somewhere around there
>>17815929
those solar modules might not even be more reliable than battery quartz and just die or fizzle out too so what's the point

>>17815933
A solar battery lasts longer.

quartz = no sovl

>>17815937
not necessarily if the quartz is 10years+ and the solar module dies because random issues
it's literally no better than a basic bitch quartz battery, just meme tech
this was my research I did years ago
>>17815950
the shittiest thing about quartz ones is the have no weight and are often put into slop and just feel shitty

Don't know what this crap is, but spending tons of money on an oiler is pointless. Invest in a good set of screwdrivers, a pair of good tweezers, and proper oils. Anything else can be bought at AliExpress. Also, you do not necessarily need 2000 EUR screwdrivers, just make sure they are properly sharpened.
