Hallo!

>Reposting an old pic because I'm lazy.
How's everyone doin?

Man, what the fuck is the point of GS doing the whole Evolution 9 thing when they're still sticking to the most annoying rule.
"No lume, with exceptions"
FUCKING STUPID
I just want a Lake Suwa with lume.

>>17992755
I don't understand either. I like the thought of a spring drive but not without lume, I wear my watches 24/7 and only take them off for showering.

>>17992754
Good in the hood.

>>17992754
I'm not going to lie, I never replied to you before but the watch looks so so nice, from the coating to the dial, very german looking, yes I know it is a sinn, reminds me of porsche, how much was it?

>>17992754
Based Sinner.
I don't know much about Sinn, do they produce the movements in-house?

>>17992758
2750€. "Boutiques" only offer 3% and that model has a wait time of around 12 weeks directly from Sinn.

>>17992759
They don't. They offer some more heavy customized movements under their own name but it's still mostly mass produced. The 144 uses a concepto c99001, which is a modified 7750.

>>17992755
It would ruin Le Zaratsu.
No I actually think that's the reasoning. I would look "tacked on" if that makes sense. Have you seen these watches up close? The markers shine like mirrors and Seiko probably thought it would ruin the look if they put lume. Well obviously it [the lume] didn't have to be on the markers necessarily...
Hmmm.. well if there is a market for that, I guess they should've done some models with.

>>17992764
it* would look--

>>17992764
I'll admit I haven't been to the boutique with the Grand Seikos on display yet. But I was under the impression that the GMT has similarly polished hands and indices and that one has lume. I guess I should really go look at them in person.

>>17992766
Yeah in your pic, the lume filled in the spots that they usually black polish.

>>17992766
>>17992769
but obviously readability is the most important thing in a GMT. One is supposed to be a shiny dressy sport watch or whatever, the other one is actually useful.

>>17992731
I thought this was a shag carpet at first.

I enjoy my 1963 very much.

>>17992736
What watch is that?

>>17992764
They are able to apply the lume to many GMT models with intricately faceted indices just fine so that's not an excuse.

>>17992778
Too big for ya wrist son, too big...

>>17992785
It is not, just an angle. When i first put it on i thought they sent me the wrong size, it is so small.

As a concept, dirt cheap mechanical movement is not a bad thing, but seiko puts them in 500 dollar watches which is inexcusable

First warm Sunrays of the year

>>17992818
Only 40 hours or so of power reserve but still only beats at 21.6k bph. Accuracy range -20/+40 seconds per day.

>>17992827
>Accuracy range -20/+40 seconds per day.
more like +-5spd
reserve is irrelevant

>>17992815
It just works.

>>17992823
kino

>>17992814
7R and 9R are great. Same goes for anything Credro, really. Like the 4S, 4L, 6S, 6L. These are the movements that seiko cares about. The 6R is a filler movement that they hvae for throwaway models. You need to regulate them yourself or else they are pretty much unusable.

>>17992836
>If you disregard or lie about all the bad things about a movement, it turns out that the movement is great
Is this /wt/'s astounding power of reason?

>>17992814
6L is good. They should use it for the whole King Seiko line.

>>17992863
>They should use it for the whole King Seiko line.
Well which movement are they usi-
>6R31
They can NOT be serious. They just can`t. That's a 300€ movement on a 1500-2000€ watch.

I fucking love boring and simple watches. I'm only interested in what time it is. I don't want any additional complications apart from a date window.

Post boring watch kino.

>>17992899
it depends, it depends. A GMT is very useful to have. Especially if you're very far away.

>>17992899
Boring watch kino

>>17992872
Yeah unfortunately they only recently started putting the 6L in the higher end SJE reference King Seikos. I love the look of some of the cheaper ones, but not with that movement.

What’s the difference between the air-king and a regular oyster perpetual?

>>17992930
They could make the hands a bit thinner

>>17992927
The one you replied to, also this white one. They can be had for around 2800.

>>17992931
The "Precision" on the dial means that Rolex did not submit that movement for chronometer certification.
COSC certification costs money and Rolex used to skip that for their most inexpensive watches.

>>17992936
And these got the 6L? If so, they MIGHT just be worth it.

>>17992937
So it’s an oyster perpetual people would buy just for the ”air-king” label and maybe a slightly lower price? I’d imagine the materials and finishing would be the same as in a regular OP. I don’t get it.

>>17992938
That watch is built like a fortress

>>17992938
Is this picture AI-generated, or is that watch real?

>>17992942
>I don’t get it.
The name Air-King was a holdover from an earlier era that they kept making. That was their biggest pilot watch in WW2. (There were also Air Lion, Air Tiger and Air Giant. They were smaller and usually manually wound.)

After WW2 Rolex began consolidating their designs into what we recognize today and the Air-King became redundant.

>>17992954
Bvlgari Octo Finissimo. It's real. It also looks better when its not on a comically thin wrist.

>>17991726
Cool. They have the best dials for sapphire datejusts with that outer minute track. Also, the guy working at the rolex store in the airport tried to tell me a 31mm was a 34. Holy shit. The lady at the Tudor store I went into today actually had knowledge and asked her trainee to come have a look at my 90's Prince, to show her that they used rolex parts back then, was pretty comfy.

I'm going to Nipland in March.
Besides Citizen Chronomasters, what's a decent enough JDM watch in that price range that's worth looking at?
Or should I just look at the 5-digit subs and gmts which is what fits my wrist from that company?

>>17992964

judging from your skin and hair you must be around 39 years old.

>>17993004
Why are you black?

>>17993005
Close, somewhere under.
shockingly accurate, tho

>>17993008
well why did you chose that watch? How much was it?

>>17993013
It was around $60 on Amazon. Before this, I wore Apple Watches for the past 5 years.

Started getting into men’s fashion a little while ago, and wanted to see how a mechanical watch would look on me. I picked this one because it was super cheap. If I found that I didn’t like it, I wasn’t out much money. I also read the NH35 movement was super solid. It has definitely gotten me more interested in watches.

I want to fuck a skinny redhead.
Rec me a watch.

Well it definitely is a watch. But its a copy of a rolex which is a bad taste.

but do you like this style?
how much time do you want to spend to know what kind of watch do you like?
I think I read a dozen watch books and way too much time on youtube and watch sites to understand on a surface level what are the options
unless you want to have an NPC tier "watch of each type" find The One and just save up for it

>>17993028
I must admit it's very hard to not make fun of you but I will try to be nice.
From where you are, pretty much everything can be considered a substantial upgrade. Like an Orient for example, take a look at them.

>>17993043
Saving up for a watch is a moronic idea, you should never buy a watch you can't afford to buy on a monthly salary without damaging your budget.

I dont see pets being posted you retards

>>17993003

>>17993047
That's a lovely dial.

>>17993043
I think the next step up would be up to a few thousand.

I like the look of most watches, just as long as they don’t look out of place in a business casual setting

depending how much you need to make an impression at meetings (and the size of contracts you work on) any of the above may be enough
if you are going for most impact then the Rolex Explorer is usually the cheapest option
if that may not be enough the just stick with your apple ultra 2
try to gauge the level of watches other parties wear at the next few important meetings
in most cases I see directors and C-level people with the latest apple watch while attending usual office meetings, and they pull out Rolex and above at high end events

Honestly i refuse to believe people can be this retarded and i am shocked i have to say it but never ever ever buy buy a watch you can't afford. It is fine to save your money for a house or a car but not for a watch, ever, there is no exceptions.

I liked the 556 but felt like it was a bit too boring for me plus hated the date window, then I saw they had a black MOP variant so I decided that was gonna be my next watch.
Waited until I was in Germany to buy it since it is cheaper there overall.

I think they're comparatively priced pretty normally, considering the price class and competitors. I have actually been really eyeing a limited edition chrysanthemum dial KS (and also been one of the anons posting pics of it) but as someone who only recently started an apprenticeship I really can't justify spending that much of my money without feeling very financially irresponsible. Maybe another time.

>>17993129
>as someone who only recently started an apprenticeship I really can't justify spending that much of my money without feeling very financially irresponsible
Fucking pussy. If you aren't willing to spend all your money on your extremely niche interests you're mentally whipped by society.

One of the reasons i don't buy homages, even if they are pretty nice, is the possibility of someone noticing you have fake and it will be embarrassing.
But i am fairly certain nobody in the world has ever heard of glas hüre so i might pick up one of these.

>>17993132

They're the textbook definition of "mall watches". Only people with horrible taste think they look cool

>>17993136
Not that other anon, I thought it was pretty obvious I was joking with my Seiko advice.

>>17993139
I see, apologies then, sir.

>>17992863
>>17992907
Man I'd make so much money for Seiko if I was running them.
First of all, use the Credor and Grand Seiko derived movements in more watches that aren't limited or cost over 3.500 bucks (they're starting to do this at least)
Second, work on your damn bracelets! Not the ones below a thousand or so though, those are fine actually, but once you get into Marinemaster territory and so on the bracelets should have more on the fly adjustment and match better with the actual watches themselves.
And third, keep the limited editions down outside of Japan. I know it's a cultural thing, but I don't think people here take to it too well. Granted it does work for the less cheap models, they do trade quite a bit over msrp. But that is of no benefit to the fucking Seiko corp.
I expect my call by Monday.

The only downside is the movement. I said many times that the 6R35 is a piece of shit. This one is no exception. The bracelet also is just barely acceptable at that price point. But it's a very pretty and small watch.
Can recommend.

>>17993468
The GMT credor I get, it looks weird, but what's wrong with the ceramic? It's my daily.

>>17993429
When I first started collecting watches, I loved Seikos, then I got my first Omega....and I started questioning buying a bunch of Seikos. I thought Grand Seiko would be an upgrade. It wasn't. It's still just a Seiko.
Then I got a Rolex and regretted wasting money on the watch version of Funkopops.

I implore you, /wt/, don't waste your money on Seikos. Save your money. Invest it. Get a good watch. No one, not you or anyone else, will ever be impressed with a Seiko.

Look at Whoretadello. Seiko enthusiast. His entire goal in life is evading bans on 4chan. Is that what you want? Is that any way for an adult to live?

>>17993468
The HOMOS is missing btw.

>>17993476
>but what's wrong with the ceramic?
It's ugly (but granted, looks are subjective) and it's also way too big for your wrist (objectively).

>>17993485
Do you call it Homos because you're being ironic and trying to deflect any kind of criticism of it or because you're Greek and pederasty is embedded in your culture?

>>17993489
Well.

>>17993133
You have a wrong concept of "homages".
Most Seikos and a lot other famous watches that everyone loves are homages.
The watches you believe are "homages" are often actually legit watches that get produced again.

>>17993495
According to Hesiod's book, Works and Days, pederasty was frowned upon.
But keep repeating shit you've heard from Hollywood.

>>17993506
According to the rules of the site, evading bans is a bannable offense but it doesn’t stop you.

>>17993477
Unionically what I kind of meant.
I used to own a Sarb033 before I got my Explorer (about 5 years ago now). I loved it but I never wore it again and it was just collecting dust. But I still get the itch to get another Seiko/GS/Credor. Only to know at the end of the day I won't wear it as much as I do my Explorer. I haven't bought a watch since. Though I really want a 36mm explorer lol since I have a 39mm. The proportions are much better on the 36mm.

>>17993461
I have a 6r15 in my fucking beige sarb and it is such a piece of shit. I had problems soon after buying it like 10 years ago. Shit amplitude and accuracy all over the place. I even thought it was magnetized and had a watchmaker demagnetize it without success. It's in my drawer and only sees the light of day when I desperately need a dressy watch, which is almost never. Sad because I really love the looks of it.
>pic from like forever ago

>>17993507
Of course you would change the subject.
Now report me you faggot.

>>17993508
>But I still get the itch to get another Seiko/GS/Credor
I don't know where this idea that Credor is a good brand comes from (I mean, aside from Whoretadello's spamming.)
They make like 20 good watches per year and the rest are shitty overpriced Cartier analogs.
The majority of their catalog are obvious women's watches.

>>17993476
That all black look is ugly. Sorry but that's also pretty apparent for me for all ceramic pieces they just look bad and cheap.

>>17993509
You gotta regulate it. It went from +80 to pic related (+9). I guess now it's acceptable.
There is no quality control, they throw in the movement and hope for the best.

>>17993515
Cause credor makes that eichi piece and it's super nice.
That quartz piece that this anon has is a good cheap substitute.

Good watch for someone whos is about get cucked by entering a black hole ?

>>17993516
They feel and look better irl. It's a very heavy piece and people are always surprised when I let them hold it.
At the same time, some people guessed that it costs around 400€
So..

>>17993508
Pic of your Exploder please?

I know that feel. You buy some good watches and you kind of lose that sense of fun that comes with cheap shitters. I loved my Orange Monster and my GS 9F GMT but now, getting one would feel like throwing money into the wind.

The irony is that extremely cheap watches, like the PRX or fun Swatches, have gained new life. I used to look down on Swatch as being beneath my Seiko. Now that I know Seiko is trash too, Swatch is at least fun.

>>17993521
>Cause credor makes that eichi piece and it's super nice.

Honda made a Formula 1 car, so my Honda Civic is ... basically a Formula 1 car.
The Eichi II is a complete one-off that they make literally less than 20 examples of per year. That alone is not enough to claim that an entire Seiko sub-brand is good.

>>17993520
It's weird because it was running fine for a couple of weeks. I have a timegrapher myself and as soon as the watch started to be inaccurate I checked the amplitude and it was below 200°. I only ever saw such a shitty amplitude when a watch was magnetized. I read somewhere that especially the 6r15C has problems with the balance that got fixed with the D revision.
It was just not worth back then to spent a couple of hundred bucks on this thing when it was rather cheap. I can't really remember but I think I paid like 300-400 bucks for it.

>>17993533
I'll probably get more now than I paid for it. Lmao.

They make some very nice mechanical watches like the Gold Feather line up, the Kuon line up, the Signo hand winded ones and obviously the Masterpiece collection. But overall, you're correct, the majority feels like filler. Their Quartz are also fine but only their minimalistic ones.
I am more of a fan of the older ones, talking late 90s to late 2000s. I don't know why but these pieces are my style.
It's not just the Eichi I and II. And really, if I compare it with my seikos, it feels like an entirely different brand. Credor cares, seiko doesn't. My 20 year old GMT runs at +3, it was never serviced.

>>17993540
kek.
Well, you got it 10 years ago right?
Wanna try and regulate it yourself with a toothpick?

>>17993549
And the gold feather name comes from this. A literal golden feather.

I'm back

>>17993557
Contemporary Submariners are dogshit. Completely devoid of soul and inspirations. Vintage Subs, on the other hand, are the highest form of artistic perfection.

>>17993543
Badass.

>>17993549
Yeah, but this is all ban-evading cope.

You've been here long enough that we all remember when you acted like your Tooter was the best watch ever made, then you bought a GS and decided to go full Seiko-weeb.
Your emotional wellbeing is dependent on us accepting that Seiko makes superior watches.

>>17993557
Are you the flying bus driver, I mean, pilot?

>>17993556
>1 of 12
This is no different than what >>17993532 implied.
They put a little money into one good watch and they can trick 10,000 retards into buying dogshit.

If you don't have a masterpiece, you have dogshit and you got tricked.

>it feels like an entirely different brand. Credor cares, seiko doesn't
That's a coping mechanism on your part. They're the same company. The rest is marketing tricks. They can't get you to pay 600 dollars for another Presage anymore, but they figured out how to get you to pay 2000 dollars for a quartz shitter.

>>17993569

They doubled their prices and halved their QC just because they can and want to force going upmarket. My friends 300€ watch has on the fly micro adjustment on the bracelet, my GS doesn't.

>>17993578
>That's a coping mechanism on your part.
Well which credor did you hold and wear and didn't like? And which Seiko did you use as a comparison?

>>17993583
The fact that you posted the 70,000 dollar Eichi II is proof of your coping.
Your shitty quartz Signo is in no way worth whatever you paid so you have to post a picture of a hand-made platinum watch and hope that we overlook literally everything else except the name on the dial.

>>17993585
It's 45K

Fine, here's the Kuon.
So which credor did you try on and which seiko did you compare it with?

>>17993587
>So which credor did you try on and which seiko did you compare it with?
The Eichi II and a couple others, at the boutique in Tokyo.
Compared to a normal Cocktail Time...the Eichi is incredible but every other Credor they're basically the same as a Seiko at a fraction of the price.

I'm sorry you got conned into buying that Signo but that's the way it goes. They're salesmen. They know how to trick retarded gaijin.

>My friends 300€ watch has on the fly micro adjustment on the bracelet, my GS doesn't.
So got tricked. Got it.

I'm thinking of buying this, I don't want a moon watch

>>17993593
I accept your concession.

>>17993587
You know, you wouldn't get nearly as much shit if you didn't try so hard to act like your watch collection was good.
You've been here a while, there are a lot of anons who have collections that mog yours hard and they don't try and flex. Shit, there's anons here who don't post pics because they don't want to be accused of flexing.

As for your trouble with the mods, I can't help you with that.

>>17992899

>>17993551
>>17993540
My amplitude and overall readings were all over the place. Turns out it was actually magnetized (and in need of some adjusting). Toothpick and one of them blue chinese demagnetizers with a red button fixed it. Keeps pretty good time now. Don't think I lost a minute since. Used to lose about half a minute a day or so. I was so pissed off too, cuz I love that fucking dial to death.

>>17993600
We had this conversation before and I told the same thing. Follow the start of the argument and it's always someone trying to convince me that my watches are shit. And once every 20 times I reply out of curiosity and ask a simple question, "Why?" and I never get an answer besides insults. At the end, this anon told me that Credor is overpriced and is no better than Seiko. Not gonna argue that watches aren't overpriced. So I left it at that.

>>17993617
Then why are you here? I mean, besides your fight with the mods to see if you can evade faster than they can ban you?

>>17992984
From this day forward...

Attempting to redirect the thread back to watches and away from Whoretadello's persecution complex.

>>17993609
>and one of them blue chinese demagnetizers with a red button
Can you elaborate?
And that dial is stunning, gotta say.
Reminds me of this watch. The hands and markers at least

>>17993626
They're basically the same watch. Look up Alpinist Ginza.

>>17993619
>Then why are you here?
To learn a thing or two about watches, see new watches posted that I didn't know of, the memes, to post my VaVaVoom, to see what CitizenBro is drinking tonight and the overall watch talk itself.
I mean we are talking movements on the side rn.
Why are you here?

>>17993638

Not anymore, it's not. From what I've seen now, they go for either double or triple that. Apparently, it was a limited release. Got really lucky with mine. Snatched it before things got too out of hand.

>>17993649
It's a very nice catch man. And yes, they go triple the price.
Take good care of it. And you also fixed the biggest problem with it, the movement.

>>17993651
>>17993649
How do I buy a watch and sell it for triple the price? I want to invest $10k in watches and sell it for $30k and then repeat until I have a million.

>>17993656
I don't know about watch flipping m8. But I think you might be too late for that. The marker is cooling off.

finished the citizen, 2nd ever service - going to case it tomorrow once I let the lubrication spread out and I can take an timographer reading and adjust it

is zenmarket still a fairly good place to get vintage seiko's compared to western eBay?

>>17993651
Thanks, man! Really love how that thing shines in the different lights. It goes from pale blue to teal, almost even approaching green. Seiko makes some gorgeous fucking dials. Shame those movements aren't up to par, though.
>>17993656
I got mine on pure caveman brainfart mode (saw that dial and I knew I had to have it) and got really fucking lucky with the price too. To be perfectly honest, I got lucky that I got it to run as well as it is now. Definitely not planning on selling it anytime soon, if ever.

>>17993660
Based. What do you do about potential dust particles getting into the movement?

>>17993663

Ok how does that answer my question? Do you ever talk about anything but yourself?

>>17993665

>>17993642
That's a simple Casioak but I think I saw the same here in some other watch too.

Well I don't know, that's why I'm asking you. You're the professional.

>>17993675

Are the Grand Seiko non spring drive watches worth getting in any shape or form?

>>17993663
Man I have been listing over a blue or green dial on a Laurel-style Alpinist since I saw the Ginza, bummed I got into watches basically the week those things sold out everywhere and didnt know until later.

Thankfully got a great price on my favourite Alpinist colour before it was discontinued (SPB119) and just bit the bullet on the green bamboo laurel alpinist SPB435. I really like that case/dial combo for 'fun' colourways, over say the sharp-edge presages or the 'baby' alpinist that is too flat-dial in person.

or just buy a rep

Nice "Folex" there son.

Some of the homage watches are getting really good. I've got one running a high end Seiko movement, I could actually slap a certain Swiss logo on it (not going to but could) and nobody short of a jeweler would know the difference.
Also Grand Seiko's are looking pretty hot to Imo. Meanwhile your mid range Swiss just keep churning out shit inferior to high end Swiss, Japanese and the like but want to charge as much as a 2nd hand GS. Utterly nuts the market atm. Also Rolex wtf talk about overpriced in the stainless steel band, Omegas are cheaper and quality's on par.

>>17993951
Seiko Enjoyer here. You'd need to find an older one most likely. Most of their watches are Mid - Dive sizing.

>>17993969
Based Miyota Breguet Chad.

>>17993686
Maybe only the quartz if you are into that. You'd rather get a zenith for 5 hz they have done them since decades.

Found this old resin Casio I had in storage. Wtf are these craters? I also had another 2 resin Casinos in there for the same time that don't have this. I haven't seen anything in the box that would have caused this. Any clue what caused this?

>>17993970
>I've got one running a high end Seiko movement

Eventually you'll have to service any analog watch, go for LCD digital if you want the ultimate set and forget.

>>17993543
>he actually went exploring
or how did you do that? I wouldn't even know how to bump the watch into so many objects from different angles to get it scratched all around the ring

>>17993979
>>17993982
i cant remember anything happening to the watch

so this is not something you see in old resin watches?

>>17994026
if you find anything, as of why that happened, let us know. It's weird indeed.

how do you deal with "treasuring" watches and reducing your collection? I have many that I don't wear, but i also don't want to sell them because they were hard to get or fit into some concept, and it would be difficult for me to get hold of a similar model again if I suddenly decided that I want them, so I'd regret the sale. Others I could sell easily, because I understood that I have no attachment to them or they don't fit what I originally had in mind with them.

>>17994029
I have a few i don't wear that i'd like to sell but they're all relative shitters so noone wants to buy them :/

JLC Master Control Date or Rolex Air King/OP for 1 nice watch ~$5k?

>>17994034
Could go either way, personally I prefer the look of the MC but an OP is cool too.

>>17994029
Only keep the watches that mean something to you or you wear often. Even if you regret selling them, in the end you fill that gap with some new watch, and then get tired of something else.
The only watches that will ever mean anything to you are the ones you want to, regardless of what the public consensus is

>>17994034
I think that depends on how you typically dress. More casual, Rolex. More dressed-up, JLC. You can't go wrong either way, though. The OP can be dressy enough and the JLC casual enough if you want it to be.

>>17994034
Are you buying it for yourself or for the brand recognition?

>>17994035
>>17994037
Sport watch fatigue so JLC dressing down is classy and more effortless. Only worried about durability vs Rolex

Well then you know the answer. The one with the effort put into it.

>>17994041
>Only worried about durability vs Rolex
Straps wear out. That's really the only thing you have to worry about.

Starting in the mid 2000s, JLC made a number of updates to their movements to deal with the reputation that they were fragile. They're quite durable now.
