Unless you can actually afford the Credor Eichi, there's no other Credor worth buying. They're just Seiko's Cartier knockoff, like Grand Seiko is their Rolex knockoff.

>>17871513
I respectfully disagree. The new ones are bland, ys, but there are some credor pieces from 2005/2011 that are stunning. Mainly the Nodes, Moonphase and the Phoenix

>>17871511
Here's an older pic, was on a different strap at the time. I love the watch, but I can't find a strap for it that I really like.

>>17871514
Old, new, whatever. You don't need to agree. Credor is a luxury brand within the Seiko corporate portfolio designed to compete with the feminine, style-first watches of Cartier.

The difference is that Cartier usually knows what they're doing while Credor is just guessing.

>>17871518
God that is awful.

>>17871518
>The difference is that Cartier usually knows what they're doing while Credor is just guessing.

That's the case with just about all of Seiko. Whenever they come up with a good design, it's pure luck. Given that they have hundreds of SKUs in their catalogue across a dozen different brands, there's bound to be one or two peanuts in the pile of shit.

>>17871515

>If you read the excerpt I took from an official Grand Seiko document (which has since been deleted), I think you might be quite surprised at how long (or short in this case) a Grand Seiko can be repaired by the factory for. “Seiko makes it the policy to usually keep a stock of spare parts for Grand Seiko watches for 10 years. In principle, your watch can be reconditioned within this period if used normally.”

Makes sense that Seiko would delete this. Better to just keep this policy under wraps.

IIRC (I can't find it right now) it's ten years STARTING ONCE A WATCH IS DISCONTINUED, which I think is an important caveat.
And it's also a little overblown because parts are used across many different models; and it's not like they just chuck parts in the garbage.
It's more like, after ten years, we cannot guarantee that we'll be able to fix your watch. Maybe we can, maybe not.

I think the more important part of Seiko's service is how horrifically bad the service actually is. You don't just get a reputation for massacring people's watches out of thin air.
Personally, if I had a Grand Seiko that needed a little service, I'd just as soon sell it to someone else, rather than risk paying hundreds of dollars to get my watch back damaged and less saleable than before.

Wealthy people don't actually care about money itself anymore. It's just a number, like a score in a game. They care about having a higher score than the other people playing the game, but the points themselves are meaningless.

I looked into this and it's an outlying case. The watch he had was a hi-beat 61GS and the 'mainspring broke'. What he failed to mention is that you can't replace the mainspring at all as far as i can understand, you have to replace the whole barrel. All he had to do was find another 61GS with a shot case (they go for under 1k) and replace the barrel. It took me half an hour to research this while his so called 'skilled third party watchmaker' wanted to find a Swiss replacement mainspring. Strange article this, many holes.

Literally figure it out on your own.
If you can't, you're unfit anyway. 99% of all repair jobs is figuring it out on your own.

>>17871708
That the issues people are reporting with them are due to bugs deeply rooted in the fundamental design that can never be fixed with a secret parts replacement (like Omega did with their first 2500 movements) when the watch gets sent in for servicing.

>>17871515

>Literally figure it out on your own.
>If you can't, you're unfit anyway. 99% of all repair jobs is figuring it out on your own.
Dangerously based.

>>17871714
The mainspring was made too long and too thin, causing amplitude issues.

It's because they tried to increase the power reserve without changing the fundamental architecture of the movement. The Powermatic 80, for example, increased the power reserve of the ETA 2824 that it's based on by lowering the beat rate. The Omega 8900 and JLC 751 movements went to a double-barrel setup. The Omega 8800 went with a physically larger barrel.

Rolex just tried to cram a longer, thinner spring into a barrel the same size. Rolex could fix it easily by introducing a better mainspring, but that would take the power reserve back into the 40-45 hour range.

How come Sony never made any wristwatches?

>>17871717
>Would you be able to elaborate on what makes Omega's co-axial movements so bad?

The 2500A/B/C versions self-destruct. The 2500D is reliable but is rare. They were Omega 1120s (ETA 2892 base) that were retrofitted with a new escapement. The current generation 8xxx and 9xxx were built from the ground up for the escapement and are much more reliable.

>>17871730
Do amplitude issues cause accuracy issues as well?

>>17871736
Imagine if Technics made a wrist watch.

>>17871714
Any forums talking about this?

>>17871717
They need to be super-precise to even work, and need super precise oiling, else it fucks itself. Also Swatch are anti-repair tiny-hats so no parts, no schematics for independents. So if your delicate Memega shitter implodes it's either Swatch service center or nothing, they basically hold you hostage.

Reminder: anti-repair = anti-consumer = anti-ownership

>>17871730
Bruh. Looking at the 3235 they could have redesigned the entire automatic module to make space for a double mainspring barrel (already seen enough automatic works pushed to the side, in-line with the train works in 1970's designs to know it's doable), but they tried to be clever. Fucked if true.

>>17871739
>Do amplitude issues cause accuracy issues as well?
Yes, it can.

The amplitude is how far the balance wheel swings left and right, expressed in degrees. If the mainspring is weak or there's too much friction in the works, then the balance wheel won't swing as far as it should and the timing of the rest of the movement will suffer.

>>17871738
I want a Bond-era Seamaster Pro one day, I love the kinda dated 90's aesthetic. But it's either going to be a quartz, a pre-cuckaxial automatic, or if it's a 2500 movement it gets swapped with a standard 2892, original parts be fucked.

>>17871754
>They need to be super-precise to even work, and need super precise oiling, else it fucks itself. Also Swatch are anti-repair tiny-hats so no parts, no schematics for independents.

That doesn't mean the movement itself is bad, though, just that Omega, as a company, is bad. The engineering and design of the movement is fine.

No, even the first ones built by George Daniels had shit like solid gold for cushioning. Daniels went to a bunch of manufacturers to sell his design to, but Rolex didn't want anything to do with it, Patek didn't want it, etc. Swatch at the time was desperate to put their Omega brand one tier up, into Rolex territory, so they jumped on it.

It's a problem if you want to resale, but I hold on to my watches, so who cares.

When I see a busted quartz Omega, Longines, etc. I just tell the customer that the movement is just a standard ETA quartz with and extra Omega logo printed on it, and if they want it can be swapped for a bone-standard ETA, because it's the exact same movement.

On a timing machine.

Calculated from the sound of the escapement, based on a known lift-angle of a movement. There are tables listing lift angles of specific movements.

>>17871806
So the timing machine calculates or should we say makes an calculated guess at what the amplitude is rather than actually measures it?

>>17871804

Spoiler: watches don't "measure" time either. They measure the number of oscillations of their own oscillating element, whether that's a balance wheel, a quartz crystal or a tuning fork. That's it.

>>17871824
Yeah, what i meant to say was that the amplitude is not actually measured or 'looked at' to verify that that angle is indeed as big as the calculation suggests. To do that you'd need a high speed camera to take a photo of the balance wheel at it's furthest position and measure that angle.

To be honest, I can easily imagine someone from Germany being named Muhammad Ali.

Bros, I cannot deal with the magnifying glass thing on Rolex' date window. It just looks so goddamn dumb. It reminds me of some grandma's reading glasses. Am I alone in this?

>>17871927
No, it's definitely a divisive thing, even among Rolex owners. Some even choose no-date Rolexes simply to not have the cyclops. Others just learn to live with it. It's not the worst thing in the world.

>Get one now while they're cheap. Prices are only going up.
Who the fuck cares, if the price goes up just don't buy that shit.

>>17871927
Some people deal with it as follows.
Aftermarket or Rolex crystals without the cyclops that fit the watch, you go to your watchmaker to swap the crystals while keeping the OG one for potential sale later down the line. The second option is to buy a Rolex without the cyclops in the first place.

what is the best movement for a daily watch?
Is it AUTOMATIC?
genuinely curious

>>17872003
Sir, this is a watch thread, not an alcohol thread or a hooker thread.

>>17871927
You are not alone. citizen ruined their kobayashi PRX watch with the same thing.

>>17872017
The best watch in the world, from a purely functional standpoint, is something like the Casio W800H. It's cheap, has a bunch of functions, more accurate than any mechanical watch, can take a massive beating, water resistance out the fucking ass, weighs nothing and the battery lasts a decade.

Anything beyond that is an aesthetic concern. Nobody wears an automatic/mechanical watch because it's sensible. They wear it because it's beautiful. They wear it because it's functionally pointless, and being functionally pointless moves it into the realm of art. So asking for the "best" movement is kind of attacking the problem from the wrong angle.

>>17872034
Alcohol is horologically significant.

Only good post in this garbage thread.

Do you wear each watch for a specific occasion or just whenever?
How do you like the Blancpain?

>>17871927
You're not alone. To be fair the cyclops is what makes a Day Date work since the date wheel has to be set so far inward that it would look weird without it, the cyclops stretches it and brings it closer to the edge of the dial.

>>17871930
"Divisive" implies that some people really like it. I don't think I've ever encountered someone who actively praise it as a design element. Its function is that of a recognizable brand thing at this point. I feel that when other producers use it in their designs, they don't do it because it looks good, they do it because they want to look like a Rolex.

I have never had any interest in this thing but I am overcome with a profound desire for one
Was this whole thing a Tudor psyop the whole time

>>17872088
I like it. It makes it easier to read the date. Remember anons, form follows function

>>17872084
10 times better. The Cyclops made sense when they were tiny but I don't think they're needed on a 40mm DJ. I didn't buy a tsuyosa because of the cylcops

Aside from the Piaget, I think they're all pretty casual. I won't wear the Piaget with a t-shirt or a polo, but other than that, though, I don't have a "This is my jeans & t-shirt watch, this is my business casual watch..."

>How do you like the Blancpain?
Love it. It's really thin, really light and comfortable. Accuracy is within a second per day. It's got a hundred hours of power reserve so I can put it down for a couple days, wear something else, then come back and it's still running. Despite the small indices, the lume is actually really strong.
The build quality is obviously as good as it gets.

I see you have a different band on it, did you have a problem sizing the pin and collar band?

Yessir. Quite impressed with the quality for the money. Only weird thing is if you have a wrist on the smaller side then you might want to track down a small sized one (they exist). My wrist is 6.75" approx and I wear it on the second tightest setting. Or be prepared to punch another hole you could do that too

Digital Watch Vault is going to fail so hard and so badly it will be funny to watch the trainwreck. It's a service that literally NOBODY asked for. I don't know anyone who has had their watches stolen in a mugging. Never even heard a (true) story told by a collector online. Sure it happens but it's extremely rare in 1st world countries unless you do stupid shit that would get you mugged anyway. Yeah no shit if you walk through a ghetto at 2am you'll get your shit taken, including your watch, because they'll take any shit from you. Meanwhile Paul prison tats Thorpe is shilling that there are organized groups of thieves targeting people wearing watches in public. Fucking joke.

And the service is completely useless, first of all I'm protective of my watch's serial numbers and won't enter them (even for a look up), fuck them, and secondly they're selling your information to god knows who.

>>17872224
I think it does, or you can at least select it manually.

Good Late Evenin' Lads.
How's your friday so far?

>>17872255
Well, nothing. You can register all your personal information and probably your social security number, and in return you get to input your watches serial number with proof of ownership / purchase so that it is "verified not stolen". Also, you can enter serials to look up if the watch is stolen, but of course that's pointless since nobody is fucking registering shit there.

It's also being pushed heavily by Producer Michael which is another good reason to know it's bad. That guy would sell his fucking mother for a buck.

Anyone else prefer vintage Rolexes as opposed to new ones? Why is the new Pepsi made out of ceramic anyways? Like isn't supposed to be a tool watch first and foremost?

>>17872316
>Anyone else prefer vintage Rolexes as opposed to new ones?
Yes, the new ones all look too beefed up and bulky, the old ones had elegance and grace.

>>17872316

You need a trusted watchmaker that has experience servicing Rolex watches if you want a vintage Rolex serviced with care and proper handling of the vintage parts. A competent watchmaker will be able to source parts for you.

If you send a vintage/old Rolex back for service things like hands and dial will be replaced if deemed bad by Rolex. So, any patina on the dial that has been on the watch for the past 50 years is going into the "fuck it" bucket.

Rolex being a tool watch is sadly a thing of the past. Now it's a flex statement for break out SoundCloud rappers and people who only recognize it as a piece of jewelry instead of a time piece.

I've only procured one watch since this over a year ago.
Not really feeling it anymore lads.

>>17872317
The new ones are terrible. The movement itself can withstand a lot of damage, but the external shell cannot especially on things with a rotating bezel. Why have all of these shock protection built into the movement and let parts on the outside shatter so easily?

>>17872331
What are hell are you going to do with all those shitters, anon?

>>17872335
Because it's a fashion accessory and not a tool watch anymore. It hasn't been for a long time now.

>>17872338
Omega is one of the last companies in that bracket who make tool watches some of the time.

>>17872345
What about Tudor?

>>17872345
I agree. For most people these days, G-Shock 5600 series or the 2100 series are tool watches. All and every cheap sub $50 Casio shitter as well. Almost no one buys dive watches to dive with them on. It's stupid, but it is what it is.
