It's not how many you own, it's the frequency and quality of your posts.

>>17922541
These are old ones...haven't had time to film new ones yet. Just thought I should get the thread started, men of the west...

this the thread?

>>17922547
Yes Fren...you are safe here. Courage now, and stand tall on the quarterdeck son, always.

>>17922532
Ive always wondered why Raketa watches say PAKETA on them

>>17922511
I really like the minimalism of my Movado but it's a little bit too minimal to the point that its hard to tell the time without giving it a good look. Are there any decent watches that capture that similar style but are a bit more functional?

>>17922551
What's your opinion on the 9f? Please give a few key points. Positive and negative. Don't mention citizen 0100, thanks.

Am I the only hamiltonbro who likes the psr? Seeing it in person really changes your perspective

>>17922557
Haven't looked into them, but here's what I know off-hand (within your criteria, of course)

1) Stabilizing second hand, so that it always strikes the indices.
2) +/- 10 seconds a year inaccuracy.
3) 3 year battery life
4) Instant-change for the date mechanism.

If you love the design aesthetic of GS, you can't go wrong with this as a practical daily. The finishing will be excellent as always, and you should be able to set it and forget it. I'd say that the only downside is that you'll have to replace the battery, and it won't be as accurate as other HAQs or mechanicals.

Does that help at all? I'm sure there are other Anons here who would know more.

>>17922546
I'll try my best both in terms of photos and additional Raketas
I don't even have any of the trvely quirky ones yet like the Raketa "perpetual" calendar or the 24-hour Raketa Polar Expedition
>>17922554
that's because "P" is cyrillic for "R"
there have also been some export models with "Raketa" written on the dial

>>17922565
Yes this is very helpful, thank you. I'm not really knowledgeable on Haq overall. I know dolce and penis quartz, but that's it. Is there more to look into? Maybe a solar Haq?

>>17922566
Your name shall be Raketanon.

>>17922525
>omegadrunk
>gay
Wait, really?

>>17922566
What you're doing now is perfect; educate with pics. For instance, why does the Raketa on the left have a '0' for 12? Is it a design thing, a cost-saving thing, or something else? Do they keep decent time? What made you want to get Raketa in the first place? It would be interesting to know...

>>17922568
There are many here who know more about high-accuracy quartz watches and movements. Seiko and Citizen compete in this arena and dominate as a result compared with quartz offerings from the Swiss, so that's definitely where to start. Citizen will give you the 'solar HAQ' options that are reliable, but then again the question always comes up, 'how long will the movement last until you have to replace the whole thing?'.

I'm sure other Anons who have and advocate for HAQs here will chime in; do you have specific questions and/or concerns? For instance:

1) Are you looking to buy one? If so, what do you want out of it?
2) Are you more interested in the development and history of HAQs?
3) Are you trying to figure out where to buy used or new ones, especially models that might be Japan-only and thus more difficult to get in countries outside?

Stuff like this; try narrowing it down a bit and I'm sure HAQ-anons will surface. There are Anons here who are experts with the Seikos, for instance, who could guide you well to a first HAQ that is reliable, beautiful, and yet reasonably affordable.

Finally; I will advocate for the aforementioned watch you asked me not to mention. There are many reasons I bought it, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. They do put the movement in more models now, which makes it easier to get with more variety. That is all I'll say.

>>17922584
>Is it a design thing, a cost-saving thing, or something else?
Are you retarded?

>>17922556
Junghans, Nomos, maybe Seiko.

>>17922588
No. Why isn't it '12'?

>>17922584
Thank you friend. I'm not particularly interested in historical milestone pieces or any of that. The citizen is out of reach for me which is why I didn't want you to bring it up. The 9f seems to be the sweet spot at the moment, but I'm wondering if any (non JDM) haqs beat it into obvilion, vintage or modern.

>>17922588
Don't disrespect the king faggot.

>>17922592
Think they just wanted single digit numbers and couldn't fit the 12 in there with that font.

>>17922589
>Nomos
I like these but a bit more than i want

Longines are truly great value for their price. I just love this watch

Just wearing a Seiko lads

looks like the jannie buck broke you wily varmints quicker than you can say avatar. Don’t cry about it too much alright? You’ve already embarrassed yourselves.

What kind of price am I probably looking at if I want a steel datejust with a green dial? 36mm preferably

>>17922645
Im glad you agree, it feels phenomenal on the wrist and looks kino imo

I really like my new Hamilton

Any clue what watch from the later 90s this could be?

>>17922901
Timex Ironman i think.

>>17922902

>>17922902
oh hey thanks

Does anyone else's daily shitter cost over $700?

I can not remain silent any longer. It pains me dearly watching such mighty name as Bulova being managed by a bunch of drooling retards.
They have Lunar Pilot, which we will get back to later, okay-ish Devil Diver and then we have this embarrassment. Who is the target audience of this? Niggers, whos hiphop album hasn't become popular? This need to be removed from their lineup alltogether, it is disgraceful.
Moving forward we have the Lunar Pilot. It has potential to be the greatest watch ever made, but again it is being ruined by retards in Citizen. They made it comically huge and added stupid date window. Current gen is not much better, it is still too big, it needs to be much smaller both in diameter and girth. Then they put it on an god awful bracelet and an ugly leather strap. Both are wrong, the only acceptable option is the NASA style strap they had on previous gens.
Next we have the movement. I am ok with it being quartz, it is good movement, but of course it had to be desinged by imbeciles. Okay, one of the selling points of your movement is the smooth sweeping second hand, just like on a mechanical watch. And then they made it that you can't see the sweeping second hand movement unless using a chronograph. This decision alone is so fucking retarded on so many levels i feel like it was sabotage from the citizen executives.
They have on their hand a watch that can be fastest selling watch in history if it was just tiny bit better. Fuck.

>>17922927
Fake diamonds in general shoupd just be banned from watches, frankly. They look so bad and everyone knows you're coping.

>>17922759
I don’t recall Olympic athletes making enough money to afford a 250k watch. Let alone be stupid enough to play sports while wearing it. I am going to assume that RM gave her that watch with the promise that she wears it while on TV.

I really want this but being quartz people will probably say I’m a faggot. The cool part is it’s just over half the price of its mechanical counterpart while being a lot thinner.

>>17922933
Most Olympians are rich kids.

>>17922932
Then you'dhave to ban fake gold as well. And half of (cheap) women's watches would cease to exist.

>>17922943
Good.

>>17922936
Nobody will know if you don't tell them.

>>17922948
The auto has a date window, seconds hands and crown guard, which for a dressy/weekend watch I don't care for very much. People will know, but then again I shouldn't really care, I need just need the approval from /wt/ and no one else.

But then again I also like the fact that wearing a Reverso will make you attractive to other autists.

>>17922511
I got this absolutely gorgeous Seiko 5 Sports SRPK31K1 for around $200 new.
I tried my best but I was unable to capture how beautiful the dial looks in real life.

Did I do good?

>>17922953
IDK maybe more light?

>>17922953

Can a watch to too thin that it became ugly?

>>17922584
>why does the Raketa on the left have a '0' for 12
supposedly it may have been created for people with really bad eyesight and 0 is more readable than 12
I'm not sure if this story is true

>>17922584
>Do they keep decent time?
th Big Zero and "academic" keep acceptable time. the gold-plated one runs too fast by two minutes per day, but that's to be expected of a 50 year old watch that may not even have been serviced at any point
>What made you want to get Raketa in the first place?
I got interested in Soviet watches in general. it's like a hidden world of competitive factories that the average westerner knows nothing about.
I was drawn to Raketa in particular because I thought their designs were the best and the most interesting. They seemed more experimental too, with the 24-hour watch, the calendar watch and others.

Thoughts??

sometimes it's hard to capture what it looks like in real life man. I posted that Hamilton field watch earlier and in real life it looks just so next level. the photo does nothing for it.
you got a beautiful watch man.

I can't post my watches, they are on the ban list. Obviously I was refering to my black bay ceramic - tudor. Which I actually do wear daily for the aforementioned reason.

>>17923079
That’s a beautiful watch. Perfect size for my wrists too. Are there any other problems with it?

>>17923083
>Are there any other problems with it?
Nope.
It's appropriately thin at 12mm, has contrasting case finish, heat-blued cathedral hands, a very nice dial grain, etc.

If this were 40mm+ it would be a near-perfect daily for me.

>>17923081

You might get banned for even mentionning this

>>17923091
>>17923092
There is nothing I can do about it either. Despite being so seemingly oversharing with my private life, I am actually a paranoid little fucker. I don't have a static ip and I use browsers that delete the cookies and cache everytime I close them, a specific "well known" firefox fork. Webrtc is off and the usual vpn-router shenanigans. Now the problem with that is, I can just close my browser, wait 3 minutes and post again, if I get banned. And because it's not possible for me to Not ban-evade, I can not appeal to my ban after 3 days. That's why I offered to not post for 72 hours, which I did. And for a while it seemed like the mods/jannies unofficially agreed. But then I got reported (probably) by the dozens and got banned again. So I am stuck in this infinite loop. I will be gone soon anyway, so maybe after I come back from Japan or while being there, I will be able to appeal the ban, the original ban that was more than 1 month ago at this point.

>>17923098
Worst part, I can't even share my Whaito Barchi pictures.

>>17923196
I didn't wear anything else since the day I bought it. I think I wore the tudor once actually ever since.
The bracelet is OKAY but a bit disappointing compared to the rest. It's twice as thick than my other watches and it is very shinny, but not for a 5 digit watch. They went all out with the dial, movement and Le zaratsu I guess. It doesn't feel like an afterthought but a butterfly clasp should be standard at this price point. My credor has one, the Tudor too. So why not this one? Also, while it does have screws and tiny links to adjust it for a perfect fit, it should have a micro adjustment feature.
The case, dial and movement are a 10. The bracelet/clasp are a 6.
Eight days and counting and it hasn't lost a single second so far.

They both look great, and have serious pocket-watch vibes from the dial and handset combos. Wear them in good health, Hamilbros.

>>17922925
My Mark 40 is my 'shitter', but it doesn't cost much on the open market. Around 1800 right now in good condition, I think?

>>17922927
Agreed. I still think that a Lunar Pilot with a proper mechanical movement and severe attention to detail would have been a killer move for them...but they squandered the opportunity and now no one cares.

>>17922933
Possibly sponsor? There's high visibility to the watch if she wears it in competition...

Shots are always tough...that's why I've essentially given up and use the same light every time...lol

>>17922982
No, but I did feel like the Octafinissimo was too thin to be practical (i.e. I was afraid I'd snap it in half like a kit-kat).

>>17922986
That's cool, and makes sense!

>>17922990
Hmm...sounds like you should get the gold-plated one serviced pronto. 2 minutes per day is a lot, even for a watch from that era. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Raketa; it's a world I've never explored, so it's interesting to learn more.

>>17923081
Glad you're back, TudorSeikoChad. Are you keeping well?

>>17923107
Agreed that your pics are always really nice to see. For me, they capture the finishing really well in particular. No matter what I do, I always get too many reflections off of my watches that have high polish, so now I've given up and try to take 'dark' shots...

>>17923122
Well, it's typical of that culture though for a product; shoot it as neutral as possible to let the customer decide without distractions or influence.

>>17923129

I find it strange that they removed the polished parts of the bracelet in the White Birch. It's a nice contrast.

Also I think the lack of microadjust is overstated. The small links are not half links but more like 2/3-links. That means you can adjust it in ~ 3mm steps by swapping two small links with one full link. Yeah, a butterfly clasp would be nice

Surprisingly, I've never actually reported anyone. I have however been banned in the past..lol I still don't know why. The situation was an interesting one though...lol

>>17923205
Sadly GS is known for having bracelets that are somewhat less refined in terms of fit, but then again, at least the money is going towards what really counts (i.e. performance, finishing, etc.). I was genuinely surprised by the 0100 bracelet; I thought it was going to be as 'utilitarian' as any other Citizen bracelet I've encountered, but to my surprise it is outstanding. Strange things....

>>17923212
Nah, TudorSeikoChad is cool; all I wish is that he finds happiness, if he hasn't found it already. I'm still convinced that BitterAnon, 'who could even be you', has a heart of gold; it's just a question of what will bring it out. What are you wearing, Fren?

It was simple. I responded to a particularly belligerent anon and called him out on his bullshit with evidence. Even though all of my posts were watch-related, with pics, I was banned. It's the age-old problem; someone aggressively instigates against you, and then when you defend your position, they claim you are the one who is aggressive. We've all seen this before...

Seiko bracelets are dogshit for a dozen other reasons, but whining about not having a woman's clasp makes you retarded.

This color scheme looks so good, hnnnngh.

Based coinposter. Hope Jannies leave you in peace. Great shots as always.

>>17923255
too bad its a soiko

>>17923255
It does look good indeed. What is the model number, if you know?

>>17923260
Old Seikos are great. It’s new Seikos that are overpriced garbage.

>>17923261
6206-8040

>>17923263
Why is that?

>>17923267
Seiko’s old advantage was that they were better than anything else at their price point. They weren’t the best watches but they were as good as pieces that cost more than them.

Over the last few years Seiko has been raising prices but the quality has not kept up. (Still garbage accuracy, still misaligned chapter rings and bezels, still mineral glass crystals)

Now, a Seiko is, in some cases, a worse value proposition than some Swiss watches; and the gap grows as you go higher in price.

See that's the problem with me. I couldn't resist. Fucks sake, now I don't have much for my trip left. Better, now I can't buy another watch.

>>17923276
Good to know, I’ll be looking at some 70s seikos

>>17923278
Forgot the pic lol

>>17923258
To fucker, I said I avoid alcohol but I guess I can grab a beer. I'll be home in 5 mins.

>>17923276
>a Seiko is, in some cases, a worse value proposition than some Swiss watches
Maybe a Tissot. Most of the market is still a joke.

>>17923276
This is the case with Grand Seiko too. When the internet first found out about them, the shocking thing was that such quality came at such low prices, but now they’re as expensive as any other entry level luxury watch, but with less attention to detail (apart from the case and dial finishing)

What are you guys wearing today? For me, it's a Tissot Seastar shitter with an early in-house quartz Tissot 2031 movement that I serviced a while back. Runs great, and I decided to ruin it by putting it on a bright orange rubber strap.

>>17923279
I recommend 60s.

>>17923284
The same thing I wear every day, my watch. I made it, it's mine.

Hit me with the best looking diver around 1k $

>>17923287
Don't listen to anyone telling you it's a seiko.

They’re both rare and extremely expensive.

>>17923327
it's not a breguet spin off, it's arguably the most autistic watch company ever made (maybe tied with Greubel Forsey)

>>17923324
I have been collecting watches for 10+ years and have handled Patek, Vacheron, ALS, AP, even a Gronefeld and some other weird independents. But I have never seen a DB in person or even heard of anyone in my major city with one. I don't know their production numbers but they have to be vanishingly low. I'm not even sure if anyone in my state sells them.

U don't buy a Cartier for it's horological properties, u buy it for it's elegance. I have a manual wind tank and it's a bitch to wind and always goes out of time. do wish it was quartz sometimes. Without a second hand you can't even tell

>>17923376
I don't think the willard was available when I got my spb143 but in hindsight it might have been a better choice. but for me it's mostly because a couple of times people have implied I'm wearing a sub which defeats the purpose for me since I got the spb143 as my travel watch.
oh and also because the spb143 has some bezel alignment issues, but being a Seiko I'd wager the willard also suffers from that malady.

why don't china make alpinist cases REEEEEEEE

>>17922936
if you're going to get one luxury watch in quartz, it should be a Cartier
people don't buy these for the movement anyway, they are unapologetically jewelry. also, they don't even have a seconds hand
you get all the brand recognition and aesthetics and none of the scorn you'd get from watch snobs for some other luxury quartz purchases

>>17923407
This. If you want a Tank-style watch that has horological value, you start with Reversos.

>>17923412
Best to just get a Reverso anyway. The watch is hazardously based.

>>17923349

What about a samurai?

hello

>>17923422
I'd rather get the Turtle but the point is moot since he asked for circa $1k
iirc the samurai is like $400?
>>17923412
If Cartier releases a yg mechanical Louis I'd buy it. altho I'd barely get the chance to wear it.

>>17923432

Apart from the aesthetics, which are the main technical differences between a turtle and a samurai? Or are they equivalent at the end of the day?

https://youtu.be/VtBUbEUVJoI?t=412

Is this a Rolex?

>>17923412

Hey you retarded faggot, you know that Cartier tanks have used Reverso movements on and off since their inception right?

Yeah random YouTube losers can afford to lose time there rather than working

>>17923455
Just don't buy the one on that pic, it's not good looking, i only posted it because it looks similar to the Elgin.

>>17923460
You think it's just confirmation bias because they're all trust fund kids?

Kind of. Good for them but being a shitty youtuber Is not the same as being a shitty apprentice in a real company.

>>17923459
If I could save up 10-15k I'd buy a car dude.

>>17923449
…but none are currently available. Calm down. You’re going to have a heart attack.

>>17923470
I live in a city I'd rather buy a 15k watch than a car at this current time

Buy an extra day wheel so that you can swap it if you get bored of one.

wow, there are some fun ones

>>17922943
I don't know who the fuck decided a woman's watch HAS to be covered with plastic ass diamonds and gaudy shiny bullshit. Can't it just, like.... Be a smaller watch?

Gun makers do this with guns for women, too, they take a small gun and cover it with pink and pearlescent bullshit. Just being a small gun designed for smaller hands is probably sufficient, but they go the extra mile to make sure everyone who handles it will feel gay. But women apparently actually buy them, so I guess I'm the dumbass.

>>17923407
interesting perspective. I was looking at one in the store and when I realized it was quartz I threw up in my mouth a little bit. 5K leaf dollars for a quartz seems a bit much though

https://www.maisonbirks.com/en_ca/cartier-santos-dumont-small-model-quartz-38-mm-stainless-steel-wssa0023/450013557662.html

>>17923495
All of them are women’s watches, though.

Are you in central Florida, babe?

>>17923520
Women like that stuff apparently and if you’re so tiny that you need to wear a women’s watch, just go ahead and start your transition.

>>17923544
Literally who the fuck said that? I was just saying if I was a woman, and many women do feel this way, I wouldn't want to buy everything with pastel color and glitter and sparkles shat all over it. I'd want something tasteful to wear, but in order to get that women almost have to buy smaller mens watches like 36mm Datejusts and the like. Once in a while you even see a woman's watch that would be an excellent 36-38mm watch of only a magical unicorn didn't queef fairy cum on it. Citizen in particular has a million examples of that.

>>17923492
>10-15k compared to 100's of k's/millions

cringe take. Cars are cooler than watches and bitches notice them more (even then you shouldn't really spend a lot of money on cars). Bitches know shit about watches, so spending that much on a watch is only to impress other men, who are really only impressed with how bad a bitch you can pull.

>>17923586
normalfag take

>>17923576
>>17923544
As a for-instance, look at this thing. It's a 37mm annual(perpetual?) calendar that's solar powered with a pointer date and moon phase. Fucking brilliant, and as far as I can see this is the only watch they use this movement in. But what do they do? They put their shitty fake blue glitter pearlescent bullshit all over the whole dial with low contrast silver text that all blends with the silver hands so you can't fucking read anything, put shitty little fake diamonds as indexes, make the crown a shitty diamond shape... It's fucking horrible. The other color versions are slightly less bad in the dial but then you have to put up with shitty fake gold accents with your fake diamonds. It's embarrassing.

>>17923586
imagine buying expensive things to impress whores

>>17923366
Yea it is and Im glad other people see its inherent kinoesque qualities

>>17923613
99% of expensive things are bought simply to impress, whether it's women or other men makes no difference.

>>17923617
Maybe for a simp like you that's true. Pathetic.

>>17923618
you're in a thread that serves no function except to provide opportunity to impress others with something you bought, man.

buy some self-awareness.

>>17923623
I'm well aware. It's fun to make fun of the simps from time to time. You can buy whores but you can never buy someone to actually care about you or love you. And no one ever will because you spend all your time trying to impress the whores instead of becoming the person you were meant to be.

>>17923586

Seiko of old stomps on the modern one, full stop. Advan, Vanac, LM and more had faceted dials, weird case shapes and sizes and the best part, insane dials. Peak Seiko for me is the vintage one. If you are lucky, you can find them in great condition for a steal.

Yeah, it's incredible how based Seiko used to be. Now they shit out special editions, limited editions this and that. Sure they still have some kino like GS, Alpinist, Cocktail Time and a bunch of others. But it still doesn't wipe away how single-handedly BASED Seiko used to be.

>>17923644

I can get all that with no job and no money. It's all about how you look and how you carry yourself.

Any particular references or dials, or just in general? You might also want to look at SQ, Type I and Type II quartz Seikos, there are also kino dials too.

I just put it on my wrist and it's honestly fine due to the smaller lug-to-lug so I won't bother with the 39,5mm. Still stings a little.

>>17923740
I don't really mind avatar anons, they can do whatever the fuck they want. ANONS who constantly bitch and moan about avatar anons is what pisses me off the most.

>>17923806
The Milgauss looks cool but wears poorly. It’s way too thick because of the Faraday cage. 13.5mm is Omega thick.

>>17923832
>incel projection

>>17923817
Agreed. It’s too big, too thick, too shiny. It’s unpopular for a reason, like the Air King.
The only reason it gets any hype at all is because people think it will be discontinued and that will make it more valuable.

>>17923850
That’s exactly what happened. It was killed off earlier this year. Prices spiked even as the rest of the Rolex market cooled.

>>17923852
>checks Rolex site
Dammit it’s true.

>>17923845
take your spaghetti wrists back to auschwitz

>>17923859
There's not really any reason to buy a Milgauss anymore because more and more watches are using silicon springs and escapements that resist magnetic fields without the added bulk. Although it would be interesting if they offered different colored sapphire crystals on other watches.

>>17923197

Anyone?

>>17923891
Yeah, I’m surprised more companies haven’t experimented with colored crystals. It’s not like they’re particularly hard to make.

>>17923894
This might be bullshit, but I heard Rolex scrapped something like 8 out of 10 Milgauss crystals because they didn't meet their quality standards to be put on watches. So they're apparently not too easy to make.
