Left cost me about 60$ and right about 140 and it's automatic with sapphire and both are superior to cheap citizens in every possible way and also look better.

>>17890215
Based tankfag but that strap is a fucking travesty.

>>17890209
Yes, Seiko foolishly polishes the bezel knurling, reducing grip, while Rolex wisely gives the knurling a brushed finish

I can’t explain why Seiko thought it was a good idea either. .

>>17890218
Yeah on the hunt for an actual gator one

>>17890219
They wanted to make the watch look more flashy because they were too cheap to do applied hour markers (unlike Rolex, which uses white gold)

>>17890216

I like the one on the right.

What does WT thinks of this? It is a fashion accessory created by designer Walter Van Beirendonck to be worn on the wrist as if it were a real watch. They are kinda very hype rn.

What's the reference number of this Grand Seiko?

>>17890222
No, it’s just simpler to mash the watch against a buffing wheel. Machining knurling and giving it a brushed finish takes a long time and is more expensive.

>>17890237
Cool watch you got there.
Now let's measure it's thickness shall we?

To answer the post about "overbuilt" watches from the end of the last thread, overbuilding is a classic hallmark of a bad engineer. Any moron can use way too much material and add overt bulk and weight and take excessive safety precautions in building a structure or tool or piece of equipment. All of the talent and art and genius of the field of engineering is to figure out exactly what the thing you're building needs to do and do that as efficiently as possible. The less material you can use without impacting the use case of the item is always going to be objectively better. If you can make a tool lighter and smaller but it still does its job every bit as well it's a no-fucking-brainer.

Imagine you're putting a wood deck on your house. Your deck just needs to comfortably hold maybe 6-10 drunk people, some chairs for those people, a grill, and maybe the occasional box of lawn tools or something. You can easily do that with some simple lumber beams sunk a few feet in the ground and some boards on top. There's no need to make it fucking bomb proof, so why pay for all the materials and labor and time and energy to pour a concrete slab foundation and do masonry with stone and rebar and steel support beams and all kinds of crazy excessive bullshit? It's a waste.

>>17890250
>overbuilding is bad engineering
Tell that to the 2jz-gte you massive faggot

>>17890250
>You can easily do that with some simple lumber beams sunk a few feet in the ground
Enjoy your rotten deck in 3 years bro.

>>17890250
Not a craftsman, but I built an aquarium stand once. Could've saved money and time making it good for the weight, instead made it thick and sturdy enough for 3/4 times the weight. Why? Cause fuck it, it looks cooler this way and Ill have it for a decade

>>17890249
8 millimeters with half I guess, I left the shtangel in my garage so I'm measuring with a basic ruler

>>17890259
Now imagine you were an engineer and could figure out a way to make the stand hold 3x the weight but use the same amount of materials.

>>17890212
Because everybody knows Tudor is by definition founded to be Rolex cope

>>17890270

Are you both blind or just pretending? The copy pasta says "Tudor and Omega are Rolex cope"

I really really really want this specific Raketa Copernicus from the late 80s/early 90s but I don't have the $150 to spend on it right now. Some day though...

Why the hell are people charging 8000-9000 USD for the Explorer?

>>17890280

>>17890207

I could never get past that stupid “khaki” on the dial. It literally translates to “dirt colored”.

>>17890320
But its quartz. And everybody knows the only acceptable quartz watch in that price range is the lunar pilot.

>>17890315
Explorer is equally boring desu. At least the OP39 had nice colorful sunburst dials

>>17890323
What's wrong with quartz? Mechanical has ugly fauxtina.

>>17890250
You don't need a watch at all. If you aren't satisfied with a Casio, you might as well go for the best. It's in the nature of luxury products, like getting a luxury SUV that will never see off-road

My future GADA watch. I'm getting it next summer after I graduate college. Hopefully it will be enough to rid me from this hobby.

>>17890315
I like it its a rolex that you can bang up and not worry about. But its probably better to buy grand seiko at the price range

>>17890335
What’s going on with those stars on the dial?

>>17890335
Longines is absolutely killing it lately. They're such an underrated brand. Their Zulu Time blows its Tutor counterpart out of the water.

Post collections bros. He is my shidder collection :D. Will probably give away the casios and sell the mudman desu. Maybe the monster too but idk. I like it but I dont wear it much anymore.

>>17890336
>buying a (grand) Seiko
Having to spend your time owning it explaining that it is different from a Seiko…I mean, yes, it’s still a Seiko, but they use a different kind of polishing…I mean, yes plenty of brands do it too…it’s just better, okay?!

>>17890332
How does that have anything to do with the subject?

>>17890335

>>17890299
Don't get a quartz Hamilton if you really want to get one. If you want an affordable quartz hunt down one of the old Type I and Type II Seiko Quartz watches from back in the day. You can find incredible dials and case shapes for fuckall in a big ship.

>>17890324
The dial has the numbers which makes it more interesting to look at

>>17890342
Both the Tudor and Longines have retarded designs that ruin them. Tudor has snowflake hands, Longines has 5 stars

>>17890392
and your parents have you

>>17890392
I'll never understand how the snowflake hour hands were not only approved for production but became the defining identity of the brand.

Penis hand ruins it again.

>>17890399
That’s easy. No one else used them so they became a visual shorthand for the brand. (Never mind that the reason no one else uses them is because they are ugly. )

>>17890400
shit lume

>>17890345
Keep the Mudman.

>>17890361
Got to keep the gold seiko. It was my granpas watch. Case looks a bit cheap but the dial is pretty nice desu

>>17890400
It’s true to the vintage design. If anything, it’s the ridiculous fauxtina and need to upsize it to 42mm that ruins it.

>>17890408
What's the reference? Looks like a 562X to me.

>>17890408
That is a nice piece actually.
Finally someone with a watch with actual family history.

>>17890413
You are correct if I am looking at the right number. 562059
>>17890404
Might. The mudman is cool, but it's a bit chunky for me. I have a soft spot for my beat to shit red gshock, so I'd keep that one. But really, they're not worth much and dont take up much space so I'll probably just keep them all until somebody I know needs a watch or it gets out of hand (I dont buy watches that often desu)

>>17890408
Based, keeping an heirloom is always the kino shit. Take great care of it anon so one day you can pass it to your grandson!

I can never remember what day of the week it is but am anal about not checking my phone for it, so I am looking for a day-date watch that is:
>38mm or less
>Under $1k
>Not a Seiko 5
>Not a Rolex President cope
Does such a thing exist? Or should I start saving. Pic related is just a bit big for my babby wrist.

>>17890411
>it’s the ridiculous fauxtina
what compels watch brands to do this so much? completely destroys the watch

>>17890457
I don’t know. It’s frustrating. The funny thing is that the tritium lume used to be white when it was new. So the faux patina is exclusively for people who don’t understand what they’re looking at.

>>17890454
There the one anon with a vintage seiko weekdater or something. Looks really good if you're open to hinting down a good vintage model.

I like fauxtina because white markers look bland

>>17890463
>seiko weekdater
That's pretty cool, like a day-date SARB with enough weirdness to the design to satisfy me. Are they easy for watchmakers to work on?

>>17890335
Would buy if it wasn't $2k

>>17890470
I don’t know. For me fautina feels like buying designer ripped jeans or a fake antique distressed furniture. It insists upon itself. It’s like your trying to steal the time it takes to make the dial tropical.

>>17890397
My ancestors smile down upon me imperial, can you say the same?

>>17890335
Isn't the lug-to-lug on this watch long?? I think I came across this watch a few months ago but wrote it off after reading a youtube comment that said the lug-to-lug measurement was too long. I have 6 inch lady wrists though so....

>>17890498
With bracelet end links it's 49mm, without it's 45. Easily wearable on a strap if you have twig wrists, or you can do what I did and just get the 36mm Legend Diver on the cheap.

>>17890498
>Isn't the lug-to-lug on this watch long??
For a 37mm watch, kind of. Lug to lug is 45mm without the bracelet (with bracelet it's more like 47mm), which IMO isn't unreasonable. If you're curious, check out threads on watchuseek about the watch and guys will post wrist shots with their wrist measurements. Picrel is a guy from watchuseek with a 6 inch wrist

>>17890511
>With bracelet end links it's 49mm
It's 47mm. I think it's 49mm for the 40mm model

>>17890511

Thx guys, got it serviced recently so it's running good. I pit a pretty deep scratch on the crystal somehow so I'll have to dig out the poly watch.

I've got a SARB033 and a SKX013 that are just sitting in my closet. Should I sell them now or wait a few years?

>>17890542
Might as well sell them now. Prices are pretty stable on them.

In Finnish it's called middle week as well. Here it's also known as the little Saturday.

Wtf I love bronze disease now.

>>17890382
Yeah Type IIs are nice, i love mine.

>>17890472
Yeah they are, it'sa classic Seiko movement that anyone can fiddle with.

>>17890422

>>17890545
That's kinda gay dude

>>17890222
>this fucking cope

>>17890555
What so bad about 6R35? Seems pretty normal.

>>17890635
I have 3 watches with that movement. Two get 1+ Minute every day, the other one loses 1+ minute every day.
All three of them are shit and waaaay off their specs. I send thr presage sharp edged back for service and regulation. Let's see how it is after that. I will pick it up tomorrow.
There is probably zero QC on seikos part.

>>17890625
Hello poorfag.

>>17890546
Why is it little Saturday?

I drink at least a little bit almost every day, I don't give a fuck. I'm drinking right now after taking a sleep aid to take a nap before I go to worm in 5 hours.

Tonight I had consentual sex without the exchange of money with a woman I am married to. Isn't it great to be in a loving sexual relationship with people that won't cheat on each other?

>>17890401
Yeah, but I'm saying internally right at the beginning, before there were even sales, someone in the company exclaimed "oh FUCK, these are FUCKING GREAT, put them on EVERY FUCKING WATCH!" Do we even have sales data that could show if showflake hands are more or less popular than other types of hands for Tudor? I think the only hands they've made for decades are snowflake hands and the dick hands on the rangers.

>>17890635
Apparently they're a lottery as far as accuracy goes, some are good and some not so good.

>>17890664
yeah, but did you take pictured of her cosplaying while covered in your watches?

>>17890345
Very nice. I especially like the Mudman and the Orange Monster. You might as well keep them.
Any closeups pics of the Omega?

I really like your Piaget, I've been trying to find ones like it but there are some with similar but they have square cases.

Do you wear the blancpain when you feel like it or with certain looks? I struggle to think of when I'd actually wear a dive watch in my day to day.

>>17890831
>Do you wear the blancpain when you feel like it or with certain looks? I struggle to think of when I'd actually wear a dive watch in my day to day.

The Blancpain is usually my weekend watch. I wear it more in summer, since it's more casual. Normally I trade off the Rolex and the JLC as the daily wearer.

>>17890831
>I really like your Piaget, I've been trying to find ones like it but there are some with similar but they have square cases.
It's a reference 90920. There aren't a lot of them kicking around.

>>17890902
>Aren't the Piaget and the Reverso redundant?
I think that's the same Reverso anon who's been here before and he's said he wears it casually.

>>17890714
Haven't had alcohol in a while, I think last time was halloween.
Anyway, this one is way too good for its price. At 20€ you get the same experience as some wine bottles that cost 5 times as much. I can blindly recommend this one. If you're into red wine that is.

>>17890859
>JLC Master Ultra Thin Date, in steel
Probably a little too large. Those are 39mm, I think?
The watch in >>17890850 is likely around 36-37mm.

37mm IWC Portofino, perhaps?

>>17890681

>>17890916
Very close. You seem like a good person to ask this: I think if I go the rabbit hole again I'd like to hunt down a manual wind omega preferably with small seconds. Any refs to watch out for? Many of the small seconds seem to use the bumper movements and I dont know much about them. I havent done too much research yet.

>>17890946
>Any refs to watch out for?
the Tresor 2685. You can find really nice ones for under 2k USD in solid gold. They're around 34-35mm, IIRC. They had the cal. 266, which are very traditionally designed movements and any watchmaker can service one.

>>17890946
>Many of the small seconds seem to use the bumper movements and I dont know much about them
Bumper movements are automatic. Someone else had the patent on a 360 degree rotating weight, so Omega made one that bounced back and forth instead.

>>17890950
Also ref. 2894 if you're looking for watches like that. That one is a Tresor too. Omega references from back then are fucked.

What's /wt/ recommendation for aftermarket bracelets? I want one for my future CW c63 Sealander.

>>17890686

>>17890976

>>17890656
Pff learn 2 alcoholism.

>>17890988
I think they are overpriced and I don't really like them... Would the uncle seiko fits nicely? That's my main concern

>>17890996
the best fit is going to be whatever was machined for that case diameter and lug length, if you go with uncle seiko/strapcode/forstner or whatever you're probably going straight lugs so there's going to be a gap

>>17891004
Yeah... I'll probably just buy straps then. Do you have any recommendation for NATO or leather straps?

>>17890345
>>17890872
>>17890875
Nice watch! I have a 60s seamaster too, but mine has a date complication and doesn't have numerals for hour markers. It keeps great time, it's one of my favorite watches I own. The only annoying thing is it doesn't have quickset date so it can be annoying to set the date if I haven't worn it for a while.

pic related isn't mine but it's the exact same

>>17891014
i don't like nato straps
honestly the straps that come with it look nice

>>17890422
The red one is nice too. I'd keep 'em both. The Mudman is part of the Master of G series, and a classic (also in classic color).

fuck I hate the 6r movements too. they're trash

ease off the booze amigo, it's a Wednesday night

anyone post about the SPB441 yet? seiko recreating their first watch for the 100th anniversary (limited edition of course)
https://www.seikowatches.com/global-en/products/presage/special/100th_kintaro_limited/index

My watch is changing its day and date at noon instead of midnight. If I rolled it back 12 hours would that fix it?

>>17890299
Its extremely overpriced and cost maybe a little over half as much just 3 years ago.

>>17891055
Well yes. Roll it forward.

>>17891020
Ya, I was wearing it a bit after digging it out and it is pretty cool. Great thing about watches and pocket knives is they dont take up too much space.

seiko will also announce a bunch of others for the 100th anni

I have a cheap seiko cock tail and see nothing wrong with the bracelet. I have tried chinese solid bracelet and it sucked ass. Once again YT aficionados and wt proven wrong by experience. Also the mov't is accurate within 5spd or less.

>>17891024

the bracelet is solid links too, there's nothing particularly awful about it, but it could have solid end links too for 50 cents more in cost
the clasp isn't great but it's not bad either, not much different you can do with a butterfly clasp

1. Do I already own a watch?

Yes - go to 2. No - buy a watch.

2. Is this watch better than the one I have?

Yes - go to 3. No - do not buy.

3. Does this watch serves a purpose that the watch I currently own does not?

They wanted a display back to show off what a completely unfinished Miyota looks like. That adds thickness. They also gave it a bubble crystal (not sapphire) to mimic the look of an old plexi crystal. That adds a couple mm thickness too.

>tfw only wear jewellery or nothing at all instead of cheap (<10k) watches because cheap watches are a turbo cope

Is there a watch like this but smaller?

all similar watches I've seen are too dressy or too busy

I'm looking for something simple and yet spory

analog dial with a digital screen and functions

>>17891327
What's your price range? because an older Breitling Aerospace would fit the bill.

Honestly this is one of the best casios I ever had. I don't wear anything else since I got it. It's a great watch if you actually use the features on it, never has casio made such a small watch with all the bells and whistles this thing has. Same functionality as my favorite gshock but takes up no space.

I'm retarded

>>17891337

Currently poor and bought this very cheap watch. Was smaller than expected, what do you guys think?

It was excellent

>>17891342
a158 > a168

>>17891345
I got this because it was half the price. £13 instead of £25. Why's the a158 better?

>>17891348
It's not. Yours has a better light. It's the same apart from that. I prefer the maximalist face of the 168 over the 158

>>17891348
a158 has better coating on the chrome model. Slimmer. Same module as f-91w.

Recommend me a cheap beater watch for a 60s woman doing housework that also looks good

>>17891342
>Was smaller than expected, what do you guys think?
That watch fits you perfectly.

Watches being too small is an overrated phenomenon. Unless you're wearing a tiny, sub-30mm watch, no one will ever even notice if your watch is too small.

On the other hand, of your watch is too big, everyone will notice and everyone will think it looks comical.

As always, you should wear a watch that is sized appropriately to your wrist, but too many guys delude themselves into thinking that they should be wearing a 42mm when they should be wearing a 38mm.

>>17890335
I love longines but i personally hate this watch. I love it how they put a trashy 5 star review on a watch named after a nigger just to tell you how good it is

So you're using the original plastic crystal? The chink mods come with sapphire.

im gonna put in crystal as well. im not gonna cheap out on this thing.
this one is stainless but im thinking for myself later if I do it again ill use titanium from the scraps we have laying around at our workshop

also the original plastic one isnt square and has this weird arch for 2 sides so it looks jank with the square overall design

>>17891436
Every brand needs a daydate cope, it's a logical upgrade, plus GS people wouldn't care. GS is getting a bit stale with mostly just 44GS and 62GS , 9 Series, GMT, and dressy variants, they can't make decent looking chronos or divers that are fuckhuge, and they refuse to make a new 61GS, so why not go for the Weekdater instead? It was a direct predecessor to the 62GS, so the 'history', if they need it, is there.

>>17891482

It looks smaller if I am looking at it from eye level, so I took a picture from further away, but I didn't say it was tiny, I said it was smaller than expected.

>What crystal are you going to put in? Where do you source it?
no idea what kinds of crystals there even are
I just want something that wont scratch easily due to this being my ''action watch'' when im being active.
I found tons of chink sellers who are willing to cut the dimensions but I have to visit a local watch seller/repairman to ask about what kind of tolerance I should even aim for so it seals nicely without having to glue anything in
currently I cut the ''window'' to 0.2mm undersize so I have the material to work with if I need to size it up

>>17891524
Keep in mind there are upgrades from the old rattly tooly Daytona to modern. Not 24k worth of upgrades, but they are nicer now

>>17891560
It'll shatter 100% if you try to fit it without any spacer or it'll be loose.
I'd probs just use a thin layer of glue on the sides and try to keep the tolerances tight on the sides.
Some crystal suppliers sell them with the spacers though, don't know any with this shape though.

the chinks can produce a superclone sub at 600 usd that is 90% as good as the real deal tho, which also mogs old vintage shitters in build quality
modern equipment made things cheaper and better made too
if anything, rawlexes should not even be at the 2k mark, probably even lower due to manufacturing improvements
