>>17927443
Thanks fren.

So Homosbrah when are you returning from Japan?

>>17927453
I didn't buy returning tickets yet. I don't know how much I will stay. Could be 2 weeks could be 2 months.

Alright bro. I'll join you in water posting just this once.

How we looking Hamiltonbros?

>>17927466

I’ve posted this before but I love the look of the Col Kurtz Rolex GMT master. What are some more cost effective methods of achieving this look under 500? I was thinking maybe certain field watches have this aesthetic, I know part f the watches charm is the bezel is removed.

>>17927471

>>17927439
That's a nice photo.

>>17927459
It's too big for your wrist isn't it?

>>17927473
That cyclops lens is too big

>>17927473
The Magnum PI watch (i forgot the brand, begins with m, some anon can help me) has a similar aesthetic. Otherwise i'm sure either San Martin or Pagani Design have a copy of it.

>>17927483

>>17927518
>what you have against them?
NTA, but the poor quality to price ratio at all price-points and in all sub-brands.
Seiko is no longer a bargain, and being a bargain was the only thing it ever had going for it.

>>17927528
For a mineral crystal and 4R35.

>>17927473
Just found this

>>17927530
at least they're not trying to shill plastic movements like it's an upgrade

Have you ever had problems with water resistance? Like a watch with 100m wr getting water inside

>>17927450
No

>>17927494
Bitteranon is Omegadrunk, right?

>>17927542
>at least they're not trying to shill plastic movements like it's an upgrade
That is true, but it doesn't change the fact that Seiko is asking 2x the price for the same watch.

For example, the first Grand Seiko I ever bought was a simple 9F 3-hand and date. It cost me a little over 900 dollars' equivalent in JPY. At the time I thought, "Wow, this is really well-made. What a bargain!" Now the exact same watch is 2600 dollars. They made no change. They're just hoping that people will think more expensive = more better.

At the higher price ranges, its even worse. They're trying to position, via price, their mechanical diver to be the equivalent of a Submariner, when it's much closer to Tudor or Omega in terms of overall quality.

>>17927553
No, he's Poortadello

>>17927439
> It's not a thick watch by any means, but I know they can do better, I mean credor exists so- I guess it could be 1mm thinner.
Not really.
The closest equivalents are the Rolex Datejust and the Omega Aqua Terra, and both are thicker than the GS White Birch.

>>17927553
>Bitteranon is Omegadrunk, right?

Sometimes it's OmegaDrunk samefagging for attention and for simps to whiteknight him.
Other times it's anyone who dares to criticize an expensive watch, even mildly, since no one wants to hear that the expensive watch they just bought isn't universally loved.
Probably only 1 out of 10 Bitteranon posts is someone who is actually upset that there are posters richer than him.

>>17927524
Probably wine after my photo/hiking shit.

>>17927556
The DJ is thinner than the White Bitch. GS doesn't count the cystal in overall thickness.

>>17927556
Yeαh but, if every credor is 10 or sub 10mm, then why not this one?

>>17927543
A Hungarian once told me to never shower with it even if it has water resistance. The soap messes with the sealing. I hope he’s doing well.

>>17927445
>>17927446
I love how the avatarfags keep changing this to make themselves seem better and the posters they don't like seem worse.

They are so feminine.

>>17927563
How much is that in football fields?

>>17927553
No it's not. BitterAnon is 2-4 guys who are almost always lurking in here.

>>17927557
Do you have actual proof of Omega drunk's samefagging? I remember someone asking VERY specific questions of his Omegas which was extremely suspicious, but can't say for sure.

>>17927563
Because you bought a shitty one.
He meant only the real Credors.

>>17927562
>The DJ is thinner than the White Bitch
The DJ is 12mm. The WB is 11.7.
It's marginal, but remember that the WB has a slightly domed saphire while the DJ's saphire is completely flat.
So it'll be visually thinner than the DJ as well as being thinner on paper.

>>17927563
>every credor is 10 or sub 10mm
Credor is more of a fancy luxury brand, while watches like the White Birch, Datejust, AT, ... are full-on "sports watches".
The thinner the movement, the less robust it is.

>>17927571
>Do you have actual proof of Omega drunk's samefagging?

It's an anonymous message board. No one can prove anyone is anyone else. But the odds are very good when OmegaDrunk is especially pissed and can't wait to space out his posts. There'll be three posts exactly 1 minute and 1 second apart, one will be by OmegaDrunk, and the other two will be like "Thanks!" and "Based!"

>>17927553
BitterAnon is any anon that is acting bitter at that particular moment. Most of the time it's probably just one guy who finishes every post with either 'poorfag' or 'lmfao'

>>17927573
Lol. You're trying so hard, it's cute.

On GS's own website, the SLGA009G is listed as 11.8mm
The DJ is 11.7mm and, this is important, like >>17927562 said, Seiko doesn't count the height of the crystal. So it's actually closer to 12-point-somethng.

>>17927562
Does Rolex count the protruding cyclops into the overall thickness?

>>17927579
>On GS's own website, the SLGA009G is listed as 11.8mm
Guess I was thinking of the automatic White Birch.

>The DJ is 11.7mm

>>17927580
No

>>17927583

>>17927587
it says 11.5

>>17927587
That's from a rolex thread with people claiming all kinds of numbers.
Also they're obviously not including the cyclops.

Even granting that the DJ is 11.7mm thick, that's pretty much exactly the height of the White Birch.

did the pocket watch actually win

>>17927579
Whoretadello is acting like most GS owners: completely unable to accept any criticism of his watch. Anyone else can take criticism fine. Omega owners admit the watches are too thick. Rolex owners will accept complaints about the length of the clasp. Nomos owners accept that they're gay leftists. Even Patek owners admit that Patek's finishing isn't up to par compared to ALS and others.

Grand Seiko owners? No.

>Why does a "sports watch" have no lume?
I don't need lume, I have electric lights.
>Why does the bracelet not have microadjust
I don't care about that, it fits me perfectly.

Just dismiss all legitimate criticisms with "I personally don't care about that, so it doesn't matter at all to anyone else on earth."

>>17927590
>the White Birch.
I like how we're all pretending this is a special model at not the same watch Seiko makes a million of with different colored dials.

>>17927598
The submariner comes in tons of color variants too. The black dial/green bezel is called the Kermit.
Just one example.

>>17927598
It is special. We have an anon here who..pfft...paid...excuse me...7800 Euro for it.

>>17927598
They actually tweaked the spring drive White Birch compared to the automatic one.

>>17927601
>7800 Euro
Holy shit, what?

Those are around $6300 NEW on C24. Model number SLGA009?

>>17927596
>completely unable to accept any criticism of his watch
How is "the white birch is too thick" a valid criticism when the closest Rolex, Omega, ... variants are just as thick, or thicker?

>>17927612
Who are you quoting?
I brought up the lack of lume in a supposed sports watch and Seiko's poor bracelet design.

>>17927613

>Holy shit, what?
>Those are around $6300 NEW on C24. Model number SLGA009?

I think Whoretadello's heart just stopped.

>>17927614
But the post you quoted did not mention thickness. Sounds like you're responding only to the arguments you want to and willfully ignoring everything else.

>>17927617
The discussion in which you posted was about the thickness.

Watching Whoretadello ban evade has been fun.

Hey anons, I'd like to get a blue-dial SS Rolex Datejust as a daily (or at least every-other-dayly)
is smooth + oyster better than fluted + jubilee for this?

desu I prefer fluted + jubilee, but think smooth + oyster would work better as a daily.

>>17927665
Forgot to add the picture, although the fluted bezel here is also on the oyster bracelet and not the jubilee.

>>17927667
>yeah gimme the bling watch but make it as cucked and as toned down as possible (smooth bez + oyster)
that's the dj2 tho not the newer dj41, look at how fat the case it, how fat the baton markers are, how fat everything is holy shit
the new 41 also has a fuck huge bezel still
36 is pure class, 41 is huge as fuck
on the other hand, 36 looks tiny as fuck on some people and 41 looks appropriate on some
36mm has the same size dial as 40mm sports models
so the 41 is fucking larger
smooth+oyster is cuck tier (oyster perpetual tier, explorer1 tier)
jubilee+fluted 36, in yellow two tone with champagne or white dial, to become paul allen
or, jubilee+fluted 36 in ss with silver dial for that monchromatic clean look (kinda based ngl), or blue/green dials (higher resale I guess)
the dj has alot of possible combos desu

>>17927670
>36 is pure class, 41 is huge as fuck
tits or gtfo

>>17927631
Omega made those dials the same way Journe does: careful build up of layers of blue lacquer over a polished metal plate.

In Journe's case, it's gold, in Omega's it was rhodium-plated brass. Omega then applied a sunburst to the plate, Journe does not (that's why the Journe looks like nothing else). After that, it's apply a layer of blue lacquer, polish it, apply another layer, rinse and repeat, then apply the dial furniture/pad print the appliques.

>>17927675
I have an above wt standards wrist, looks wildly different on different people is the point
the 36 in general has the more cleaner less sporty dials

Fluted + Jubilee used to (and probabaly still does) have the reputation of being fragile, since Jubilee bracelets were prone to stretch in the old hollow-link days.
That's no longer the case since the Jubilee's links are solid.

For everyday comfort, no bracelet comes close to the Jubilee.

>>17927700
Rubber.

>>17927615

Yeah watches are more expensive in the EU. If I bought them from an Japan or USA seller through C24, until it arrives in Germany and on my hands, it would be another 2000$ in Taxes and Fees so it's the same price. You don't know about import taxes, fees and VAT? Obviously things are more expensive in Europe because someone starts wars all the time and makes us pay for them. Plus, huge plus, I paid cash, I avoid paying online/by card whenever possible. Such is the life of a europoor.

Yeah, nah. You just overpaid.
Trying to explain how "ackshually, I didn't" makes you look more upset than if you just said, "Yeah, oops. It was an impulse buy so I didn't do my research."

That's the answer you will give next time someone makes fun of you for overpaying. Someone screenshot this.

>>17927730
Okay I give you a chance to prove me wrong without using buzzwords. Find me an SLGA009 in Europe, on C24 for less than what I paid for (7800€), New, and I admit that I overpaid.
Again, I don't think you ever imported something from oversees, they fuck you up the ass with taxes. Why do you think we talk all the time about how to avoid the customs tax when buying a watch in Japan?

>>17927739
You don't have to specify it for sale Europe. You're adding needless conditions in a pathetic way to save face.

Go to Japan, buy it there for cheap. Wear it home. You will not get nabbed by customs. They're not going to check what watch you were wearing.
Then ship the boxes to yourself from Japan. You may have to pay import fees on a box, but since the box is worthless it won't be anything.

>>17927766

In Nani-States like the EU, they control your luggage AND your wrist. No joke I heard stories from colleges that they got stopped for a michael kors and asked where they bought it from.
Of course, if you're lucky, you'll just get away with it, but I can't risk buying a Kuon for 7500€ in Japan and find out I have to pay another 2500 on top of it once I arrive here again.

But you literally replied to bitteranons because you can't help yourself.

>>17927775
Well that's the plan. But it's still a risk. They caught on because many people are doing it.
You are not wrong but your argument is basically
>"just go to Japan every time you want a watch"
But I will go there anyway so I might've/should've tried it I guess. Worst case, I "get caught" and have to pay the taxes and VAT, I would still be around 8000€

Why are you lying?

I live in Germany. I've traveled in and out of the EU hundreds of times and no customs goon has ever asked where I got my watch. Not if its a Casio or a Rolex. Never once.

We get it, you can't afford an Eichi II.

>>17927776
>control your luggage AND your wrist. No joke I heard stories from colleges that they got stopped for a michael kors and asked where they bought it from.
No fucking way this is real..
Still, it's their burden to proof you're smuggling it in. You don't have to carry receipts or papers for a watch you're wearing. Fuck them, no proof no case. Say you bought it from a mall or something or got it as a gift. Even if it is some epic JDM model how are they going to prove shit?

>He's actually going to buy a watch because he thinks it will impress his online "friends".

>>17927776
> In Nani-States like the EU, they control your luggage AND your wrist
How the fuck can they stop people and ask where they’ve got their watch from? Makes no sense, they’d be stopping everyone with an expensive watch. I could see them checking someone with a suitcase full of watches though, but even then isn’t it the customs’ job to prove it’s bought abroad?

>>17927785
Someone suggested I Photoshop the watch that I want on some older pictures of mine, so that it looks like I am wearing it, as proof that I had it before going to japan.
Well we will see. I will most likely buy a watch there, if it's 300€ or 5000€
I guess I have to find out the hard way. Watch on wrist, box via package.

>>17927790
You can check videos on youtube "Zoll Flughafen" or "Zoll stopt Bargeld". And see. It's unfathomable to many, even for germans. It's brutal.

>>17927791
Just take pictures of it with your phone and change the filename and details.

>>17927791
I think that's just overkill and could potentially backfire.
Just wear the watch and chill and play dumb if they ask specific questions, they won't waste too much time on you. If you're paranoid you can have the box and papers sent to a different address in case the customschuds ask for yours.

>>17927804
Can customs make you pay if they inspect the package and find an empty watch box?

>>17927804
I will most likely send it to my mothers address. Different name/surname.
Wish me luck. I hope you guys are right and I, once again, am over thinking things.
And btw, thank you for having a normal conversation and not just "Cope"-posting, I appreciate it. In the end, we all love watches.

>>17927806
Not without the papers for the watch. You want the papers too though so just put them in the bottom and fill the box with candies or something. Declare it as sweets wen sending it back, they'll just consider it as a box of sweets and wont open in 99,9 % of the cases.

going to inform the german police that a certain credor wearing greek is planning to evade taxes, im sure they will be interested

A Finnish ex-CEO of Nokia failed to declare watches and other purchases when he returned from a trip to Switzerland and got a 30kEur fine. The value of the goods was only 10k

>>17927855
Source?

>>17927856
I’m not sure you can find anything in English, but the CEO in question was Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, the customs thing happened two years before he became CEO of Nokia though, in 2004

>>17927776
That Nurburgring shirt...

>>17927857
>31k € for minor tax fraud.
So yeah the guy tried to bring several items worth 11k € overall pass the customs. He filed for a VAT tax return on the items, but didn't declare them in the customs, hence the fraud. Isn't this a brainlet move? Why did he apply for the tax refund?

imagine the seethe after whoretadello gets caught and ends up paying 40k for a grand shitto.

Of all the anons who've posted their collections, only Whoretadello has this driving need to let us know exactly how not-poor he is. How much he paid for each watch, what he does for a living, what car he drives.

Mortadello's collection is worth a ton, but he never mentions money and gets upset/embarrassed when someone does. His collection is worth close to a half million.
OmegaDrunk doesn't mention how much he paid for his collection, even though his best watch is worth over 30k.
ALS Anons and Reverso Anon's collections are each worth well over 50k but they never mention money or even what they do for a living.

Ironically, the more he tries to flex, the more everyone else realizes that he's living beyond his means.

>>17927906

>>17927920
Which one is dadwatch? The one with the fake IWC?

My gf is moving to Australia because of work for a few months and I want a watch where I can see both timezones at the same time.

That's common among immigrants, especially ones with working-class jobs. If you're a doctor or something worthwhile, you're earning your place in society. If you're just a worker, you feel the need to both impress the people whose country you're living in but also your family back on Monkey Island. You have to prove you're not a Mitesser.

I asked what to look for when thrifting for watchs. Went into 3 thrifts and 3 pawn shops in the past 4 days. I went into 2 yard sales as I was on my way to pick up a few groceries I was on my way back to the car when I found a "vice versa" in the grass. I'm not sure havnt found much online about them.

how much should i pay for this graham silverstone?

wait, why did you ban me again? I thought this whole thing was done?
Who is reporting me so hard?
I did my time. This isn't evading. Pic related.

>>17928060
bitteranon at it again

>>17928037
you wont find much on that, its just a no name fashion shitter.

>>17927776

I'm not an very avid flyer, but the only watch-related thing I've ever got at the airport, was to take it off for the security scan. Nothing related to the value or the origin.

>>17928069
Thanks for being honest. Yeah can't get it to tick and has a chip.in the bezel and I don't have a replacement battery I'll keep looking. Any other advice for what to look for when thrifting watchs?

>>17928141
that one has a stainless steel back only. maybe lurk a bit and look for reputable brands like seiko, citizen, orient, timex, casio.

>>17928141
>>17928037
it's good to have some sort of catalogue of factory models to identify if something is a frankenwatch or not, or just a reference for a factory model
I guess this is more handy for buying online rather than at thrift stores though
for example, this site is a pretty complete catalogue of vintage soviet watches in factory configurations: https://mroatman.wixsite.com/watches-of-the-ussr/raketa

I miss it bros...

>>17927790
They check people that fit the bill. Nervous? Check. Watch seems out of place on you? Check. You look like a sleazebag trying to avoid paying taxes? Check. Every time I've been checked it was because I was nervous for whatever reason.

>>17927940
No cigarette this morning?

I currently own a two-liner sub 14060 and I'm debating whether I should sell it and go for the current sub model 124060 because I find the old strap extremely uncomfortable, especially in the summer.

Any anons have owned both? Which one did you ultimately prefer? I'm hesitant I'm a wristlet and the 14060 fits me just right, whereas the 124060 might look too big.

>>17928241
That's not me.

>>17928249
Based.
Do you only have vintage watches? Show us your collection.

I don't care about microbrands anymore.

>>17928243
>Any anons have owned both? Which one did you ultimately prefer? I'm hesitant I'm a wristlet and the 14060 fits me just right, whereas the 124060 might look too big.

I had a 16610 and sold it for a 116610 (the SubC). I too, have a pretty slim wrist (I'm not in central Florida) and did not like the SubC. Despite having similar numbers, the new one felt much heavier and bulkier. I much preferred the lighter, slimmer feel of the old one. The latest generation of Sub wears even larger.
I've since sold the SubC as well.

>>17928243
No, don't do it. Put it on a nylon or rubber strap in summer. The new one is huge compared to your perfect sub. Have held many many subs and the 14060 really is the nicest one that is modern enough to never worry about it. Never sell it.
>>17928259
Modern stuff as well, it's what I wear most of the time, the old stuff is a bit fragile, plastic crystals, wonky crowntubes/no wr, old crumbly lume and that. You can see the scratches on the crystal in the pic I posted, that's just from wearing it doing normal life stuff.

>>17928277
>Modern stuff as well, it's what I wear most of the time, the old stuff is a bit fragile, plastic crystals, wonky crowntubes/no wr, old crumbly lume
It's funny, I've been thinking about getting into vintage watches but every single vintage watch I have ever handled, including high end Patek pieces, feel and to a lesser extent look like complete shit compared to modern offerings. It's pretty difficult to explain just how different even a vintage Rolex is from a modern example. They feel like completely different brands.

>>17928273
>>17928277
Thanks for the responses. To add to my reasoning I'm also considering the older gmt 16710 and was debating to sell my sub for the new one and get an old gmt if things in life go well. My sub doesn't get worn as much as I'd like because I'm in-between one link removed and two links removed and haven't found a comfortable fit (something I'm hoping the new strap would address).

I read this article recently: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-...-brutal-watch-thieves-are-totally-remorseless

.. and the comments were an eye-opener. Basically the gist is, if you wear a Rolex outside your house you deserve to be mugged because you're just showing off, so the majority of people in the UK at least think you should only wear your Rolex at home. :rolleyes:

Now this isn't about discussing the merits of those arguments, given they are a perfect example of the Dunning Kruger effect, but merely a discussion about how to be sympathetic to people who think like this. What I mean is, the majority of people aren't like us, and we should want to engage meaningfully with all people because we're not snobs right? At least for me, I am a middle-class guy and don't hang around the elite, nor wish to, so I don't appreciate being labelled as elitist by the average guy on the street. Is there a way to engage meaningfully with people like this, or is it a lost cause - there's no way to change their minds, and we will be forever seen as wasteful in their eyes?

>>17927834
Kek why do you have an alarm clock on your wrist

>>17928282
Eh, I love vintage. A different time where there was more room for making something beautiful and elegant, more things were done by hand and that craftsmanship is what I miss in modern stuff, I think. Modern offerings usually don't speak to me on the same level. High end stuff is a different story, take Voutilainen or Dufour, it's breathtaking beauty, incredible details. It's making a comeback with smaller independent/microbrands as well and I'm all for it.

>>17928295
>or is it a lost cause
this generally applies to everything in life that has something to do with convincing other people of anything. As a watchfag you should already know this.

I think it happened when he went on vacation. Going on vacation + having a youtube channel where you brag about all your expensive watches doesn't seem like a good combo.

>>17927511
some of the seiko's have nice-looking dials, but the movement for the newer ones seems meh for the slapped seiko tax.
but if you really want one for the dial then I guess go for it, just don't expect a nice movement inside.

By what possible measure?

if you feel like wearing smol watches then maybe these ones? option 1 is the small world time version, 2 and 3 can be harder to read at times.

Guys I have a formal company party on the 24th and I really want to impress people there. The thing is I've always been an Apple Watch guy, can anyone recommend me a decent dress watch that isn't a fucking Diesel or Fossil. A Seiko or Citizen is fine, I just don't see a reason to buy an expensive watch just for one party. Price: $150-$500. I can go a bit more, prefer stainless but gold plated is okay as well. Right now I'm looking at the Tangente 33 or Seiko Cocktail Time. But again I also don't want something too expensive since I probably won't be wearing something that doesn't track my calories.

>>17928524
How does apple watch track your calories?

>>17928528
By movement/hr probably, then when I eat something it uses my location to see if its in a restaurant so I can just click something on the menu on the phone. This sends info to the watch telling me how much I have to stay on the threadmill/elliptical that day. Not being a fat fuck is very important to me and my career TBQH.

>>17928524
I think cocktail time is a good pick, there are also a few diff watches in that line if you didn't know https://www.seikowatches.com/us-en/products/presage/lineup (scroll down)

>>17928532
All this sounds phenomenally retarded and only works if you eat in only restaurants.

>>17928537
No the GPS location feature is only there so you don't look like a weirdo telling your watch/phone what you are eating. At home you can add a meal by telling the watch what you are eating and in how many grams/slice/oz.

>>17928540
Post body.

>>17928542
No, I'm pretty self-conscious. When I was a kid I was always fat until I found this app which came out with the very first iPhone. I paid like $10 for a lifetime subscription back then. I've been using the app ever since.

I'm not super hot, I don't have good muscle tone. I'm a little flabby, just not obese like most Americans.

>americans need smart watches and phone applications to control their weight

>>17928546
Have you seen American food? It's just meat fried in lard, dipped in lard and wrapped in lard.

>>17928549
yeah, and I wouldn't touch that shit with a long stick, why don't you guys just buy the ingredients and cook by yourself?

>>17928550
I do that at home usually using a ship to home food prep company like Hello Fresh!. A lot of times I just bring oatmeal and fruit. But some days the boss wants to go out to eat so I am forced to eat the fattening food like steak or sushi. He takes me out to eat a lot...

>>17928553

Is it that difficult?

>>17928553
eating steak and something on the side or sushi can be fine as well, just have to keep the portions reasonable

>>17928540
>At home you can add a meal by telling the watch what you are eating and in how many grams/slice/oz.

>>17928556
>>17928557
I always have mine with only veggies. I entered the oz of the steak and veggies. It still says close to 1k calories. I just had this, its 1k calories. I go home, then I'd do some boil eggs and I'll already be at my limit that day.

>>17928562
>I entered the oz of the steak and veggies
As opposed to steak and steak?

>>17928562
yeah, that's pretty normal especially if there's a ton of oil, butter and salad dressing with them
easy way to regulate your eating is to eat just once or twice a day instead of eating every few hours like the doctors tell you to, at first you might feel hungry during longer breaks, but you get used to it very quickly

>>17928567
Yea I do that, like I'd eat a meal like pic. Then when I'm home I just do water/coffee and maybe some saltine crackers with cheese and eggs. Or a salad with very light italian dressing. Then I'd be at my budget of 1200 calories/day. I'm not fat but having this app is nice to say that way. My only issue is IDK if its healthy or not.

>>17928470
4R is a nice movement

>Maybe they will be inspired to ask themselves if they really are invested in the craftsmanship of a limited-edition luxury item or if, at a time when some people can’t afford to pay their bills, there isn’t something else they could buy instead.
they think all inequality is evil, and if you have resources, it is your fault that other people contribute nothing to society

>>17928596
I didn't ask.

>>17928597
I kinda agree with this article, there are better things to buy than luxury watches if you're rich. Like a home in Singapore where they treat these cancerous individuals like how they are supposed to be treated.

What are /wt/ recommended perpetual calendars?

few threads back i posted about replacing titanium Breitling aerospace battery myself to save the $180 price i was told. Didnt have the right battery on hand but opened it to check which i need and attempt to close it. If you hear the pop/click when using this on the watch does that mean youre pretty much good?

>>17928664
Try to pry the case back with your fingers, if it doesn’t come out it means it’s seated. Afterward with a Jew’s loop make sure to see if the gasket is seated properly, there should not be any signs of the gasket visible in between the case back and case. Finally check to see if the caseback and case clearance is uniform.

>>17927543
I went in a hot dub wearing that watch one time and didn’t realize until like 30 min in I was wearing it still. Runs fine. I think 100m is okay for water hitting it without much pressure, more ideal if it’s screw down crown of course

>>17927714
What is that?

>>17928649

i bite my nails is there anything comparable i could try. No idea what a jews loops is either. Otherwise the rest seems fine, visually it looks the same as before i opened it up.

>>17928613
Seiko SNE watches are pretty nice and decent priced, solar w sapphire glass. Bracelets are okay. They’re 38mm I think

>>17928677
those go for like 500
not decent priced by any means

>>17928680
Oh I got mine for 280 used or something, I assumed they were that price. I’d you want decent price under 500 I feel like a lot of dive watches are clunky

i really really want a vintage king seiko but i know that the autism in me won't enjoy +/- 10s. even if that's still great for a 5 decades old watch.

>>17928690

Yeah Seiko really should just regulate them at the factory and stop pussying out when it comes to posting the specsheet. Just go ahead and say +/- 5sps, stop being such bitches.

>>17928700

Old Heuers are beloved. When TAG took them over, they turned a great brand into a cheap mallwatch shitter.

I know they're trying to turn things around now, and they've made some decent strides, but it takes a lot longer to rebuild a good reputation than it does to fuck one up.

>You're shitting on them when they were priced as normal luxury watches, now that they're priced as Rolex they're suddenly great?
No one said they're suddenly great. Calm down.,

They were good in the 60s and 70s.
They made shitty quartz watches after wards.
They are just now starting to make some decent watches again, but overall they are still shit.

Sorry no one likes your mallwatch, kiddo.

>>17928877
You don't know what you're talking about. It's obvious you just bought one and now you're sour that everyone thinks it's shit.

>>17928878
>Doubt that
It's a swiss mechanical chronograph, and i dare you to find better seiko movement thats not from grand seiko.

>>17928884
every Seiko movement is better, because it doesn't cost more the watch itself to service

You'll have to try better than that.

>judging Chinese history by taking into account only the last 100 years.
retard spotted, China is very interesting, yet for your probably American fluoridated brain it is too hard to understan

>>17928888
Jesus fuck watches can go decades without service, can you probably afford to buy a new one in 50 years?

>>17928891
The only conditions were that it's not from GS, but keep moving the goalposts.

>>17928892
Was kinda expecting you to resort to frog posting.
Have a good one anon.

>>17928896
>frog posting
so what, neger?

>>17928895
It is no longer being produced, you can not buy a watch containing this movement.
But yes, the main thing that it's quartz and therefore not a real ovement.

always was about the dial size not the outer mm
>>17928828
always viewed them as poorfag watches one step below omega, which is one step below rolex
vintage full gold plated quartz tags like in wolf of wallstreet are based tho
>>17928858
160 bucks chronograph or whatever it goes for
chrono movement that the chinks bought from the swiss and used for the first military watches and shit
it's like an ultra poverty sneedmaster, as it is mechanical, hand wound and a chrono
call it the chinkmaster, if you will
unless it breaks, pretty neat I guess

It's a mechaquartz, built like a tank and can be serviced.

>>17929042
>mechaquartz
dont battery dead faster?

>>17929057
Who cares.

>>17928732
I just said I like it. It's a nice dial. Would I pay $500 for it? Probably not. But that doesn't mean it's not nice looking

>>17927930
women will cheat, it's over

>>17928854
if i were to buy this, should I get it from amazon.de or from aliexpress, the latter has different versions like with lume but also several different sellers

>>17928968
Got it, i dont have anything like that. I think it should be fine i dont plan on swimming or diving with it at all and seems the same as before i opened it so probably fine. Might pick one of these up though since theyre not even $10

>>17929116
ali looks cheaper
also tons of sellers and diff models

>>17929057
But hand move smooooooooooth.

Some of my inlaws have been coming over regularly to work on some projects and hang out. Throughout that time I've been wearing various different luxury watches of various price levels but the only watch that's gotten any comments is a $120 chinese shitter because it has a gold/champagne sunburst dial. How do I cope and/or recoup my losses?

I'd rather an snk than a chinese shitter

>>17929388
Get a gold tone seiko diver.

>>17927930
>any alternatives
Get a new gf. Don't waste time or money.
