It's not how that works, but to answer the question, yes, Credor does approve of /wt/. For now.

The perfect everyday watch

I hate to say it but i actually quite like it.

>>18006747
wow imagine just committing brand suicide like that.

Can someone explain to me why GMT watches need a date according to watch """enthusiasts"""? I see this all the time in the comments about GMT watches without date complications. GMT seems pretty useless to me but date is just next level stupidity

>>18007140
I have no idea what point you're trying to make (GMT specifically? all watches in general? are you mad at watch people? watch manufacturers? is it the priority that upsets you or the combination or ....?)

With that out of the way, I think it's probably that a proper GMT is actually somewhat complicated, whereas almost all watch movements have a date wheel already there. the date wheel doesn't have a lot of work to do and the requirements are not extreme (as long as it's not perpetual calendar), so by the time they get around to adding the GMT, the rest is already there and it's like well we might as well

>>18007115
Lmao get a Squale if you want that aesthetic. At least you get some history and heritage on your wrist, not just a Japanese shitter emulative of other watches

M8, What if you're gone for several months at a time in a country that's 8-9 hours ahead of your local time/country?
I'd like to know that it's still Friday back home when it's Saturday where I'm currently at.

>>18007157
I mean that most GMT movements have a date complication, but when a brand decides to remove the date, some people say that the watch becomes useless. I get that GMT complication is convenient if not particularly useful, but why a GMT watch without a date is considered inferior in functionality?

>>18007178
You're missing out, bruh, unironically. Having a stupidly well crafted watch you'll have the rest of your life that can remind you of all the cool shit you did while wearing it is underrated.

How come most of the people on /wt/ aren't capable of self deprecatory humor?

What the actual fuck is that date windows position

>>18007228
Unusual and asymmetrical date positions are patrician.

Date at 6 or at 12 is the worst of the worst.

>>18007140
If you have a need to reference two timezones at once you probably also have a need to reference the date. You probably have some business or travel need based on filling out paperwork or timekeeping for payroll or needing to make adjustments to your travel plans or something. I guess if you're just fucking around on vacation you don't really need it, but if you're traveling for work and linking up with people around the world in a professional capacity it's really good.

The simplest explanation is probably a practical one in the way that GMT watches are made - by modifying day date movements. You probably could make a GMT watch with a date only movement and just not have a date window, but you figure if you're making a watch that's going to need a larger dial and case anyway because you want 24 hour markers and/or a 24 hour rotating bezel to help with tracking additional timezones, you may as well also put the date on there because why not?

>>18007231
Full day at 6 and date at 3 is the most underrated one.

What are you wearing, frens?

>>18007242
Post example broh

when was the last time this retard contributed to the thread with anything worthwhile? always posting the same images and same texts, almost like he has shoe number tier iq

>>18007228
>>18007231
Putting the date on that side of the dial is the worst thing you could possibly do(if you're wearing it on your left hand.)

The reason date windows historically were usually at 3 o'clock is because that's the most optimal place to put it to make sure that even if the wearer has a long sleeve shirt or coat on they can still reference the date quickly with minimal effort and without manually pulling the sleeve back. Putting the date in other positions on the right side has grown in popularity as wearing watches with long sleeves has declined in popularity. It's much more common for men to wear short sleeves with watches now, so many of those same men prefer the date at 6 for better vertical symmetry on the dial. I don't personally like that, but I can at least understand it.

Putting the date on the left is just nonsensical by contrast. It serves absolutely no aesthetic or functional purpose and flies in the face of over a hundred of years of watch design just for the sake of being different. It actively makes the watch harder to use than it needs to be by making you look farther down your hand to see the date and making it more likely to be blocked by sleeves or bracelets.

which yellow gold green dial would you rather have, the john mayer or the gold speedmaster

the john mayer is obviously more expensive but there's something about the speedmaster that the daytona lacks

>>18007251
Okay ChatGPT. Interesting points there.

>>18007231
while we're at it, let's agree to get rid of registers at 3 and 9 and then date at 6 on chronos

369 or 69/12 is fine but there needs to be three registers goddamn it

>>18007258
What the fuck is a register?

>>18007247
There aren't that many out there, take a guess.

>>18007260
a subdial

>>18007258
I really like the BB chrono but the snowflake hand can block the totalisers. Also there is no hour toti which is nice if you want to stop longer than an hour (or 45 mins). The "manufacture movmt" B01 is pretty good though.

I don't like chronos. I don't like divers. I don't like field watches either. Or pilot watches.

>>18007275
What do you like?

>>18007263
Then I don't get your point. There are bicompax chronographs and tricompax chronographs, and tricompax look like shit if you ask me.
But it's subjective, of course. The superior shape is two subdials (obviously 3 and 9, for the "eyes aeshetic") and then date below the 12, close to the centre.
I would also like to see more quadricompax chronos, along the lines of vintage Universal Geneve, but it takes some badass movement to make decent ones.

>>18007275
Modern chronos are shit. Modern divers also are, unless they're vintage inspired. Field watches are conceptually reddit-tier and usually ugly. Pilot watches are nauseating, too much mess.

Go for vintage chronos, cushion cases, rectangular watches, and of course dress watches without numerals. Problem solved.

I actually hate the font used by Grand Seiko.

I think Seiko should ditch the Grand Seiko line altogether (since no one without an anime body pillow will ever take it seriously) and instead, take all that effort and focus on making all the Prospex and Presage lines and other products better.

Stop making watches with mineral glass cystals. Actually regulate your movements. Install your chapter rings and bezel inserts properly. Make your bracelet clasps have some form of microadjustment. Easy shit.

They'll never do any of that, though, because it would make Grand Seiko look like an even worse value.

I made some Money with crypto and wanna get a really nice watch. Deep down my watch is a Grand Seiko pic related. understood and elegant imo.

But also deep down I wanna flex to may family wen I meet them and they are NPC's that would only recognise Rolex as being a made it watch. Should I go Grand Seiko or an Explorer 36mm which I kind of like.

So I follow my heart Anons or follow the crowd. Cringe intentional.

>>18007921
You may like the Grand Seiko now but in 6 months you'll be bored with it and you'll feel you wasted your money.

You'll get bored with the Explorer too, but at least it will always be a Rolex.

>>18007921
Rolex obviously.

>>18007921
Go with your heart. Flexing with a watch is retarded because normal people have no clue about prices or exclusivity.

>>18007930
Except when it's a Rolex.

>>18007923
This is the correct answer.

Why the Explorer, though, and not something like a Datejust?

>>18007931
Lmao no not even Rolex. Many normalfaggots don't even actually know what a Rolex looks like. They'll see a steel sportswatch and their first thought is "Oh! A Rolex?"

>>18007921
Never buy a watch you "kind of life". Absolute retardation and faggotry of the highest order. Get the GS.

>>18007959
>They'll see a steel sportswatch and their first thought is "Oh! A Rolex?"
But you're proving the point in >>18007931

They only know "Nice watch = Rolex", so if they see a watch they think looks nice, they'll ask if it's a Rolex. They don't know how much it costs or how easy or hard it is to obtain.

>>18007960
>Get the GS.
I can't help but feel this is bucketcrabbing. Anons would seethe too hard if someone else ITT showed up with a new Rolex. No one seethes over a GS.

>>18007741
Anybody? Specifically thoughts on the watch, not about whether I should buy one. I think they're beautiful.

>>18007994
The watches themselves are very nice, but the challenge is finding a good one. Any given watch over the course of the last 50 years could be partsed-out and frankensteined into something else.

Buying a vintage watch often means you have to become an expert in that model.

Got this for like 75 euro.

I didn't have something this versatile. Feels really nice to me, but I only have cheap watches (the bracelet feels more comfortable than my PRX and Seiko 5s I must say).

>>18007921
Look for a Rolex that you ACTUALLY like. If you can't find one within your price range (or slightly above), get the GS.

>>18008003
>If you can't find one within your price range
...then keep saving.

getting a GS because you can't afford the Rolex you want is a cope. worse still, when you try to sell that GS you'll only get back pennies on the dollar.

Moderately based negroni enjoyer.

>>18008015
It clearly says solar on the dial, so obviously it's quartz, dummy.

>>18008015
Yeap, I personally feel stupid buying mechanical, although I know that's not a universal feeling. It's a solar movement, 40mm, steel with some sort of treatment I think that I'm afraid will fade, but at this price I don't care.

I wanted a titanium Citizen but the only one I liked was one that has a monocoque construction, and that scared me, so I went with this since it was like 1/5th the price.

>>18008030
Funny you mention titanium because my next watch is going to be titanium. Looking for a GMT for actual usage. So it's probably going to be quartz or spring drive.

>>18008036
I'd buy a GMT too if I could find something that hit everything - lightweight, bland colors, repairable, quartz. I work remotely with people in a different timezone and having a watch that allows me to stop doing math would feel nice.

I had eyes on this one too which is BJ7110-89E but the yellow accents, the cyclops and the fact that to service it I would have to send it to god knows where, I decided it's a no for me.

>>18008030
Nothing wrong with not buying mechanical, especially in that price bracket.

Mechanical is never "worth it" but it only really becomes interesting once you get into into the realm of hand-finishing and complications.

>>18008051
This doesn't look like a "true" GMT though, or is it? If it's going to be a quartz, I will most likely buy a citizen though.
I have a GMT but it's mechanical, old and runs at +4 per day which is almost a deal breaker because the trains arrive exactly on time.
It's not an expensive watch but it's rare so I don't want to daily it again.

>>18008051
If you want a lightweight quartz GMT, consider a Breitling Aerospace.

Which one should I buy? I can't decide

>>18008077
Toss a coin, first to 5. If you're dissatisfied with the result, you will know which one you truly want.

>>18008072
That's ugly as sin and apparently close to 5k? I'm not spending half a month's salary on a watch at this point in my life.

>>18008082
Another anon that easily makes 6 Figures. Wow so many rich people here.

>>18008084
I'm not rich. I'm over 35 now and it took me until a couple of years back to break 100k. I am going to buy a couple of properties for the first time in my life soon, without any other investments, I've been let go rather recently and had to stress about getting another job etc.
I'm comfortable while employed but not enough to spend what could be months of rent on something I don't love.

>>18008086
I see. Yeah makes sense. Hope everything goes well. Are you planing to rent everything later?

>>18008084
>Another anon that easily makes 6 Figures. Wow so many rich people here.
6 figures is not rich and buying watches tends to be a "hobby" for people with a lot of disposable income.

>>18008089
100k before taxes is like 55K after
So yeah.

>>18008087
I'm currently renting one space as my private office and one apartment to live in. So I'm thinking stop renting and buy spaces for that.
Then, depending on the trajectory of my career I might try to accumulate properties to rent (but mainly as a way to ensure my kids at least won't starve in the streets) or save up to start a business on my own.
I'm currently saving 55-66k a year at least - depending on whether I age out of tech or not I might be able to sustain this and even increase it, or be forced to start any sort of business using a chunk of it.
Times are weird.

>>18008005
Depends on what he wants it for. If it's something you wanna get for yourself, getting the watch you "kinda like" is even more cope.

>>18007965
>No one seethes over a GS.

>>18008097
Times are extremely uncertain indeed, and nothing seems to be the correct path. But yours is a lower risk compared to many other investments. I only bought an apartment 2 years ago and it is still a weird feeling knowing that it actually belongs to me. Already paid for it and all.
You are a good father. I really hope everything will go well.

>>18008090

I'm getting taxed 22% actually due to how I have set things up, so my take home is slightly over 100k USD. I don't think I'd feel rich making even three times that given the uncertainty of our times however.
To be actually rich you need to sustain that level of income over long periods of time without interruption and without increasing your expenditures or experiencing any financial disasters.

>>18008102
Garbage watch. Here you go.

>>18008084

>Top 0.1%

$168K

Making 168K is only barely able to get a mortgage on a small house in a decent area. Definitely not the luxury watch-buying demographic.

>>18008107
Yeah those are household income, right? And I always say it doesn't matter how much you make, but how much you're left with at the end. If you make 150K in N*w York, you're barely scraping by. If your cost of living is 800€ per month and you make 10K, then you simply are high-middle class. I truly believe that.

The lighting bolt is extremely cool, but I don't understand what the point was in a modern Milgauss. Besides looking cool and not being boring.

>>18008153
>but I don't understand what the point was in a modern Milgauss
When the most recent generation debuted back in 2007, the degree of magnetic resistance it had was still pretty noteworthy.
Now, of course, with the proliferation of silicon hairsprings and other new materials, it's trivial to make a watch that's effectively amagnetic.
If/when they bring it back, it will probably be some fully amagnetic titanium thing.

But other than that, how much of a point does it have to have? It's well-made, durable, and looks neat.

Is Bulova the only company that offers sweeping second hand on a quartz?

>>18008188
Seiko does as well, but they're more expensive.

>>18008190
If the seiko we are talking about is grand i am not buying it ever.

>>18008188
Seiko has a few i think, one that ticks 4 times a second, and one that has oil dampening. Mondaine did them as well, didn't they?

>>18008188
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ZC3vsBPLg
This is the one with 4 ticks per second and with dampening. 5S42

>>18008192
4 times a second is considered a very low-beat watch. A 28800 watch beats at 8 times per second for example. Did you mix something up?

>>18008215
>4 times a second is considered a very low-beat watch
Not for a quartz it isn't.

>>18008220

>>18008220
No idea this was a thing or what beats per second mean in this case. I learned something today.

Citizen Eco-Drive on the wrist today.
What are you wearing, frens?

Do you wear your watch above, below, or on the protruding wrist bone?

>>18008238
above

>>18008238
On it.

>>18008238
Instead.

>>18008227
I looked up this Accutron electrostatic movement, looks very interesting. As a technology. But i don't know who would wear this.

>>18008238
Your watch needs to be far enough back on your wrist to not restrict your wrist movement in any way. It actually ends up being fairly far from your wrist bone. I don't know how people stand wearing a watch on the wristbone or touching the back of the hand. First of all it's uncomfortable, second a loose watch swinging around and butting against my hand drives me crazy, third if you fell forward and had to catch yourself on your palms of your watch was around your hand the pressure could injure your wrist or damage your watch or band in some way. It's just retarded and doesn't even look good.

>>18007883

i was really high and thought i was changing the format when i wasnt. im retarded ok?

It's happening! It's happening!
They came out with the mini 44 case which is really nice, and I figured they would downsize the 62 eventually. These aren't to my color preference, but they'll come out with others later. Super interesting they chose a hibeat to go in them.

>>18008279
So is this the small one or not? I still prefer the OG 62GS, it's more svelte and elegant, the new one is a bit chonky.

>>18008279
Every single time I look up Grand Seiko watches this company pisses me off. First of all, I have to take your word for it because their website sucks and I can't find the watch you're describing. Second, they are delusional about the specs of the watches I can actually see in weird and baffling ways - They'll brag about the smallness and thinness of a watch in the description and then when you finally find the specs it's 41mm diameter and 11.7mm thick, so they're selling you on the compactness of a watch that is larger than average diameter even if it was a dive watch(it isn't) and it has the thickness of automatic watches that cost a tenth of the price. Then I find this piece of shit...
>Finally, a Grand Seiko under 40mm diameter
>wtf it's manual wind only? Why? I guess to make it thinner?
>Thickness is 11.6
So they shaved a whole 0.1mm off the thickness by using a manual wind movement.
Why the fuck is this still a company that anybody respects?

>>18008308
>>18008279

Jesus christ, that's seiko 5 tier dimensions.

I still want it though, not gonna lie. I would even get it at this price if it was in a 44gs or 62gs case

>>18008327

3,464 for that? Seiko has really gone off the deep end or they know how stupid their customers are.
>A high price is all that's necessary for a watch to be premium.

>>18008333
It's titanium
If you want steel, they sell a $2k version

>>18008336
That doesn't change anything about

How often does a Spring Drive movement require maintenance and how much will it cost?

>>18008359
every 3 to 4 years, around 700-900, and it probably needs to be sent to japan and back so it might take a while

How on earth do you manage to have a misaligned FIXED bezel? Seiko must be memeing at this point.

>>18008371

How easy is it to magnetize a watch? If you hold your phone in the same hand you wear your watch on and carry it on the same side pocket are you just fucked?

>>18008139

also... two-tone DateJust POWER

>>18008404
Yes, it's real. I bought it back in 2013 and it's been worn pretty hard for the past 10 years. The black dial without the green crystal is not a common combination. That usually what throws people off.

What's the cheapest automatic square/rectangle watch you can buy? As long as it isn't round.

Shit like homos is too expensive.

Hi /wt/, when a Rolex SC finds that the watches luminous is "no longer viable", are they saying it can't glow in the dark anymore or that they can fix it (which part of the watch provides this)?
Will probably get all the components renewed on this old jewelry

Hi family,

Hating cellphone zombie culture and being a full blown conspiracy theorist led me to explore the watch rabbit hole.

I found out there are watches that align via radio waves with satelite clocks that align with atomic clocks. Like the clock in your car or fucking cellphone

So i am sort of confused on if i would want this type of watch for someone who wants to be free from mobile phones etc. That watch would put me back on grid in just another way bcs of the radio waves and maybe it would give high EMF fields

But on the other hand i want a watch that is extremelt accurate if not i keep wanting to check a phone or computer out of paranoia that the times is wrong

>>18008492
Just get a regular quartz watch. Or a mechanical watch- there has never been an occasion where me being 30 seconds late for something caused death or injury

>>18008492
M8 there are pure Quartz watches that have an accuracy of -+5 seconds per Year and need once every ten years a different battery. Same brand that you posted. Citizen "The Citizen" has one with said movement that is just a quartz movement, no radio waves or whatever. Other alternatives are anything with the 9F movement in it or the 8J81 movement. Those are rated at +-10 seconds per Year. I have a watch with the 8J81 movement, pic related, and it has lost in 2 months exactly 1 second.

>>18008511
>>18008492
Or get a G-Shock with those hundreds of functions like a GMT, world clock, day, date, month etc. These last forever and the battery too.

>>18008511
>there are pure Quartz watches that have an accuracy of -+5 seconds per Year and need once every ten years a different battery.
Wild and amazing. Is citizen a respected brand?

>>18008518
Not really. They made GS clones. Their schtick is solar power tho.

>>18008518
as far as I know, they are one of only two brands that actually care about quartz mechanisms and have a few records regarding quartz watches, including most accurate and thinnest watch on the planet. And also IIRC, they were the first to make a watch out of titanium and they still produce the cheapest Titanium watches on the market. Their most desired models though are JDM only, Japanese Domestic Market. And they are not cheap.
They also make Solar Watches btw.

>>18008536
Sorry i am not a millionaire. That watch appears to be over 4000 euro and i would hesitate to spend that on a watch

>>18008533
That's a mechanical watch. Forces such as gravity and movement make it impossible for a purely mechanical watch to be accurate. There is technology that combines the accuracy of a quartz and the autonomy of a mechanical watch, called Spring Drive. They are accurate at +-10 seconds per month. From my experience, it is closer to +-5 per month.

>>18008539
Dude literally Longines is the lowest mall watch brand that isn't even its own brand it's just a fake name for a group that owns like 20 brands. It's like buying clothes from Banana Republic lmfao.

Entry level watches start at around $6-8k nowadays.

>>18008542
>They are accurate at +-10 seconds per month. From my experience, it is closer to +-5 per month.

Still kinda shit compared to cheaper quartz then? The appeal of mechanical is like a real car vs a fucking EV ? I suppose ...(new to watch rabbit hole)

Can you get quarts with that smooth seconds movement like mechanical? Looks so dope

>>18008543
>Entry level watches start at around $6-8k nowadays.

Holy fucking shit

>>18008545
>Still kinda shit compared to cheaper quartz then?
Yeah, yeah you could say that.
>The appeal of mechanical is like a real car vs a fucking EV ?
I'd say no. The appeal is that they don't need an external source of power and todays mechanical watches can last up to 3 to 5 days (on average, exceptions apply) with one wind up. And that they are still a preserved art and still demand an impressive expertise and craftsmanship to make it right.
>Can you get quarts with that smooth seconds movement like mechanical?
Yes. Some examples got even posted in this thread. Bulova has one of those. Look up bulova 262khz
