Is there any other watch with perfect sweeping second hand motion besides seiko spring drive?

they are expensive

Re-asking, let me know if anyone has any info on this oceanus watch box and how much it usually goes for.

second for seiko, the only brand that matters (2nd place is casio)

Got a reproduction beads of rice bracelet. I like it

i really like the Cartier Tank and the JLC Reverso. which would you guys recommend? i want to get the watch for myself when i will soon have finished my degree. the Tank having a quartz movement is a bit disappointing, but the reverso is way more expensive

>no subject
>no link to old thread

>>18018209
I like the tank more better. You can get one with a mech movement for a more similar price to the jlc. With no seconds hand, you wouldn't notice the quartz movement anyway besides the ease of use and function.

>i really like the Cartier Tank and the JLC Revers

>>18018188
This looks like an AliExpress SKX "clone"

What's wrong with it?

>>18018218
no contrast

>>18018190
tuning fork movements have really high beatrates but not continous motion like spring drive

>>18018188
Oh cool a watch thread, what are we watching?

Porn?

I got an idea, what if we all jack off the guy next to us in a circle so it feels like a chick is doing it

Discounting price as a factor, try them both. The Tank is a little daintier, the Reverso wears long and flat. Neither of them wear like a normal round watch and they take some getting used to.

>>18018302
good morning sir!

I posted last week about this cheap piece of shit I found while cleaning. Got a new battery and a NATO strap like I was recommended to. Looks nice but what is a good price to have the glass replaced? I got it in like 2005/6/7 for about $60 and I want to wear it mostly for old times sake as a beater. I just dont want to pay too much, although I’m willing to go like $10 over “reasonable” due to my attachment to it.

>>18018302

jealous much

>>18018324
>jealous
Jealous??? Jealous of what? Of being a retard with a Rolex cope watch, everybody knows that Tardor is a brand for people who can't into LOLEX, the absolute audacity to say something like that... this one word just shows how delusional those people are, how they think of themselves as "rich chads"

Why should I not get a nice gold Cellini for dressy occasions? I honestly don't get why it was such a disliked model. Maybe because most normalfags who buy Rolex only care for sportswatches or something?

did i miss out by never having an SKX
why does everyone love it so much?

>>18018263
something tells me you'd do that over owning any piece anyways

Just bought my first mechanical watch, thoughts? Comments?

>>18018327
It's a watch that got many people into mechanical watches, and is beloved for that. Seiko makes plenty better watches. But the SKX was just a great deal for a very first automatic diver a teenager would buy like 15 years ago or so.

>>18018327
Reasonably sized Rolex cope.
I prefer the Silverwave Z divers, same dimensions but thinner and no shitty automatic movement.

>>18018337
>Rolex cope
?

I think the Presage and some of the Essentials line are the only good looking Seikos

>>18018341

>>18018344
Well how far does the rabbit hole go then according to your perception?

>>18018341
>>18018344
If it's not Rolex it's a Rolex cope

>>18018208
Where did you get it?

>>18018344
>>18018341
I can see it in the bracelet. But there many many other watches that would come to mind for such a purpose before a SKX.

>>18018345
black diver = rolex cope
that simple

Want to buy a used rolex in Japan. Please advise.

>>18018342
The think the Presages, particularly the Cocktail Time, are oversized

>>18018371

The Cocktail Times are my favorites of all the Seikos, I have one in dark blue and am picking up the pink one on Monday.

>>18018216
what makes these watches for mouthbreathers?

>>18018360
Why

>>18018374
Here's mine which I rarely wear. With a name like Cocktail Time I think they should be 36mm no date. (No date on a Seiko, could you imagine?)

Well Anon, have you got a gay watch? Note how they write IV as IIII to represent 4 cocks together for x4 the gayness.

>>18018455
ahem...

reminder all the watches in this thread are made obsolete by an atomic solar gshock

>>18018459
That's fucking disgusting. The rotors look like cheap chinese knockoffs.

>>18018482
Funny you should say that.

>>18018474
That you wouldn't post a photo of that abomination of an arm wart is delightfully amusing to me

>>18018385
Because Japanese take care of their things and it’s the cheapest place to buy a used rolex. Also because I want a Rolex.

>>18018440
Mort has one as beater.

>>18018501
Does the devalued yen really carry over on a Rolex? It's hard to imagine that it does. I would be extremely hesitant to purchase a 30+ year old watch without inspecting it beforehand. You just don't know what you're getting.

>>18018307
50$ maybe? It really depends on who you find to fix it and what type of crystal you want to put on it.
Saphire glass is the best, but there are other options which are cheaper.

Ask your local watch guys how much and pick the cheapest

I need someone to dissuade me from buying this. I think it's so bad it's actually kinda good.

>>18018474

>>18018307
I had the mineral crystal on my luminox changed with a sapphire. I think it was $50 at an independent watch maker.

Don't ask the brand's repair center, they contractually have to replace it with the same OEM equipment, that means they will probably put a mineral crystal on your EB.

>>18018326
Are you literally trying to be Remington Steele?

Thanks guys. And the brand went bankrupt in like 2008 or something, it's Eddie Bauer, nothing special or fancy at all I just have history with it so it's special to me. I'll check with some local places this week.

It's either that or $2k+ for a real one

>>18018294
black dial seems more flexible. orange dial stands out more, less common. it's a personal preference desu.

>>18018791
It's not my money or my watch, but when I sent the guy the link to lobtime he seemed to think that $300 was too much

I just found one of those on USA luxury watches site for 5400 and a two year warranty. I'm not sure your going to get a bargain in Japan on a Rolex. If you're doing it for the experience, then good. Check out @craftandtailored on jewtube they've popped up in my feed before. You would find a very good deal on GS and other hap watches with the yen the way it is, but I realize that's not what you're after. Ho hum. Get rid of any purchase info like receipts or boxes before you reenter, I wouldnt be surprised if taxes would be $400ish on something like that.

I told you what to do in the last thread. Just go there and shop around. If i were you I'd watch videos on youtube by this autist called WatchSymposium. For a fee, he will take you shopping in Japan and find you a good watch.

I watch his videos and he has done it with viewers before. keep in mind, as a traveller you don't pay GST/VAT so you'll save 10% if you take your passport to the store.

the watches you're interested in are fairly common and will be in almost any store carrying rolexes which is good for you. YOu don't really have to worry about fakes there either.

good luck and let us know how the trip goes. I want to go to Japan with my family in the near future.

>>18018957
and also to answer >>>18017647 this question, i got it from a dude on instagram called barnes watches. He sells second hand rolex, omega, cartier, etc. he seems to have a focus on steel and two-tone pieces under $10K

Homosexuality is not an aberration of nature because it springs from nature. Nature is wise. Homosexuals (you) exist as assistants to great men (me) and they also exist to provide balance between men and women if trained properly. They are men with female souls and should be treated as such, with the exception of hyper masculine homosexuals. Hyper masculine homosexuals are men with the souls of butch lesbians.

So right bro. How I pity those fools with less than a week of battery life.

>>18019433
It's mainly to squeeze in more battery. You can get full features in a 42 mm case, but battery life takes a hit. If you don't need maps you can get an entry level watch in 39 mm and it's so light it genuinely does feel like wearing a Casio. Touchscreens are not essential on a sports watch, many prefer to use buttons exclusively.

>>18019444

Look at this fucker >>18018391 How old are you? 85? Do you like driving your oldtimer from Soviet era? Jeesus fucking christ.

/fa/ means fashion. Fashion means that when you are 20, you are not wearing pyjamas under jacket like a fucking senile "I remember first president of Moldova" cunts and neither you wear watches that they do.

Or look at this idiot: >>18018459 What are you? A son of a sheik? Cause if not, these watch would have the same fashion value on you like Mickey Mouse watch with glass "diamonds". Whose gonna appreciate it? Where would you wear it. Fucking clown.

Or this one, lol >>18018860 Blue watch, what a rebel.

this looks weird as fuck. also check how the bracelet fits between the lugs, it shouldn't be this way

Is a divers extension generally enough to get a bracelet over a fur suit sleeve?

>>18019546
Frankly I don't understand why there aren't more field watches with above 100m. There are a few and many of them aren't even that expensive, so it's clearly doable.

>>18019588
10atm should be the absolute minimum for any watch. I can't think of a single good reason every watch produced today couldn't or shouldn't have at least that just for the hell of it.

>>18019422
hi gay, I use my fitness band for sleep tracking., they are redundant tech in general.

>>18019600
I got a fitbit charge 5 to wear on my right hand in part because amazon has a number of bracelet options for it that basically clip lugs onto it and you can pit any of your 18mm quick detach straps or straight end bracelets on it. I have a couple options for it to match the bracelet on the tracker to the bracelet on the watch I'm wearing.

Just got my first fountain pen. I saw some of you post yours and I wanted one too.

>>18019728
There are a lot of options for automatic chronographs in that price range bit they're all fat and clunky as hell. You basically have to go up and over $10k to get one that isn't over(often significantly over) 13mm thick.

>>18019607
I can't respect this. Nothing dispels the illusion that you're wearing a watch because it tells the time (the only justifiable reason to wear a watch) quicker than wearing another device displaying the time on your other wrist. Only screenless fitness devices (e.g.: WHOOP band) are appropriate to wear in combination with a dumbwatch.

>>18019575

What's the catch? I love it but for that cheap? There's something they're taking shortcuts on

>>18019977
imagine wants to pay more than what the merchant is charging.
the margin on a named brand watch is three times or higher.

We need to talk about the poor finishing of the crown on Grand Seiko's

How much do you have to spend at an AD to actually get good watches? Is there even a point when you are competing with rich arabs and asians who spend millions? I don't get spending 40k on useless knick knacks for a datejust.

>>18019977
Doesn't say Rolex on the dial.

>>18019250
No they aren't. Tell me which ones can you get for $100.

Also homages are just reps with a different name. It's basically the same thing except more embarassing to realize its a "fake"

>>18019262
I can afford luxury watches. But I don't believe the pricing is fair or sane minded.

>>18019745
Is tag heuer a good/reputable brand? I like this one though it is on the thicker side

I'm also considering a used speedmaster professional (used obviously)

>>18019249
Because they are never the same. REPLICA implies it is a perfect 1 to 1, they never are. You are lying to yourself if you buy one: do buy one if you just care to flex

>>18019249
I can't give you a good reason to not buy one, just know that if you do buy one it's because you want people to think you are wearing a more expensive watch than you can afford, or you don't have the financial discipline to save up until you can afford the genuine one you want

Also, the watch WILL eventually break and you'll be fucked and out however much you paid for it, so just know that

What is that one site that has the accurate market value prices for watches?

>>18019306
Seagull 1963? It's small and looks nothing like a Daytona. Diver chronographs, but they're all rather large. Dress chronographs are the only other options. Also chronographs with odd shapes (Tag Heuer Monaco)

>>18019407

>>18019583
Yes.

>>18019588
>>18019591
Because you don't need 100m for the watch to be 'waterproof' for daily use. 25m is sufficient, and if you have it tested annually then you can have full confidence in it.

>>18019657
Here, Fren. What watch are you wearing today?

>>18019728
Tissot? I think they have a 3-6-9 configuration of the Valjoux 7753 in their new chronographs; don't know about green dial, but I think it might be an option.

>>18020021
If you follow the people on WUS, or forums dedicated to Rolex in particular, the current average to get a 'good' watch (i.e. a stainless steel Daytona) is around 75-100k, depending on the location. No, there is no point in competing with rich arabs and asians. You won't have to spend 40k for a datejust, you'll just have to wait a while. That's why getting a Daytona used for around 25k or so makes sense if you want it now. Spending lots just to get one at retail makes zero sense, since the 'real' price is the grey-market one. Pay the real price instead of paying multiples to get it at a discount.

>>18020029
Yes, it is a good reputable brand, though vintage Heuer has more respect in the 'community'. The one you are looking at would be fine; have you tried one on in person? That's the real test. Used Speedies are great, but you should factor in a service once you receive it. They're movements are built like tanks, so if it's serviced, it'll work well and long.

>>18020037
>t. I have never heard of an independent watchmaker

non official repair shops mostly don't care you brought them a fake. they're still familiar with the movements

>>18020032
>NOOOOO the text is.. 5 microns thicker and the finishing is slightly less crisp

>>18020051
>The one you are looking at would be fine; have you tried one on in person? That's the real test.

I haven't, there's a boutique near me though, I figured I would just go over and see if they had one I could try

>>18018893
Love it; I was wearing my Nighthawk the other day just because I wanted to. Great watch!

>>18019097
I've always felt it's the normal diver bracelet, as the jubilee seems unsettlingly celebratory for a tool-watch (which the datejust, for example, isn't).

>>18019157
Good luck, and get as much continuous sleep as you can. you'll miss it. Take the BB58; you don't want grandpa watch getting damaged or lost at the hospital when you are going on no-sleep for the 2nd day in a row.

>>18019283

My watch model was on the moon. Several astronauts including Buzz and Neil used 105-012 watches. Kinda like mine.

>>18020045
I find watchcharts to be reasonably accurate, though they still don't have much info on vintage watches that I like.

>>18020053
True, most independents I've come across don't care if it's a fake, though they will inform you that it is a fake (just in case you didn't know before) and if they're good they'll let you know what other cost-saving measures you can take to keep it running, even to the point of dropping in replacement movements that are slightly better (i.e. a new Sellita movement to replace some 90's era shitter from China). As for replicas being close to the real thing...the sad truth is that they are not unless they are a frankenwatch that uses factory parts. You'll see fake Rolii forums where people spend hundreds if not thousands to have factory dials, bezels, crystals, etc. but have a fake movement inside. Sure, from the outside it looks real (because the exterior parts ARE real), but it'll never perform the same way. For those people, it's enough that the watch is real on the outside, but to get it that way, you have to pay quite a hefty sum.

>>18020063
They should; Tags are usually well stocked since they're not in demand. Make sure to go in different emotional states.

>>18020051
75-100k for a stainless steel Daytona is so grim. I wonder how much it is to get limited pieces.

>>18020066
Further to that point >>18020063

What I mean is, when you go to try it on, try it on several times on different days; when you're tired, when you're happy, when you're hungry, etc. If you love the watch even when you're pissed off, then it's a keeper. If you change your mind due to your mood, you won't love the watch all the time and you should pass on to something else.

I've had odd experiences trying on watches...usually with watches that look great on paper and in pics but on wrist look awful. Nothing can change that initial experience where you put on a watch and your eyes say NO. I had that happen with the Octafinissimo or whatever the hell it's called, for instance; it looks great on paper, is super thin, and all the other things...but on my wrist it was a sudden (like explosive vomiting) no. Such is life. Is it your first Tag?

>>18020070
It's worse. If you wanted that limited edition Daytona that they released with the Newman-style subdial markers, you'd have to be in the 500k range of spending. Bear in mind, this normally includes jewellery as well as watches, so this could include stuff for the wife. One guy I know has a 'relationship' with his Rolex AD, and thank god that AD hasn't moved on or changed owners. Prior to covid, he first bought a two-tone datejust for himself and his then-girlfriend just because, and when Covid first started, he bought a Cellini (one of the modern ugly ones) and a red dialed OP so that he could get on the list for a SS sub with date. He got it after 6 months of waiting, and then he got on the list for a Platinum Skydweller. He got that after 2 months of waiting, but was told he still wouldn't be on the list for a stainless steel daytona. So, he bought a president day-date (again in platinum because that's what he likes), and got on the list for a Daytona. He's been on the list for about 3 years now and is still waiting.

>pic because I fired up the old Zenith yesterday just to see moonman.

>>18020073
>Is it your first Tag?

First tag but also first nice watch in general

>>18020074
>first nice watch in general

Well, that's a horse of a different colour....lots of serious decisions to make there. I'll write more in a moment.

>>18020074
Okay, sorry for the delay. When purchasing your first 'nice' watch, you have to establish a few things before spending any money.

1) Do you prefer style or performance?
2) Do you prefer quartz-regulated or mechanically-regulated watches?
3) What daily use will the watch go through? Does this include use underwater?
4) Do you prefer brand new (you are the first owner) or are you okay with pre-owned?
5) Do you know a watchmaker who can service/repair your watch, or are you okay with sending it to the manufacturer (which is usually a higher cost)?

Once you establish these general parameters, then you can start to zero-in on what works for you, for your style, and your budget. Expectations on the performance of the watch can also be constrained as a result.

What do you think?

>my first 'nice' watch.

>>18019930
>>18019962
Why do you noggers even try with this chinese shit?

>>18019575
No the fit of the bracelet is pretty normal actually.

>>18020103
>1) Do you prefer style or performance?
Style
>2) Do you prefer quartz-regulated or mechanically-regulated watches?
Mechanical
>3) What daily use will the watch go through? Does this include use underwater?
Nothing crazy, I work an office job
>4) Do you prefer brand new (you are the first owner) or are you okay with pre-owned?
I'd prefer brand new just because it simplifies the process but I wouldn't mind buying something vintage either
>5) Do you know a watchmaker who can service/repair your watch, or are you okay with sending it to the manufacturer (which is usually a higher cost)?
I know of a watchmaker near me that services watches but I've never needed their services

From what I've seen I prefer chronographs/weird complications in general, not a huge fan of GMTs/dive watches (though I don't hate the submariner or rolex gmt they're just not my first choice)

I also found this used JLC near me that I really like but I haven't been to try it on yet, the website lists it at 4k

>>18020114
That JLC is a very nice watch.

>>18020114
Good; with this info, other Anons can chime in with ideas now that we've narrowed down a few things. Here's what I'd suggest as a general suggestion:

1) Style: if it's your first 'nice' watch, don't settle for the style if that's a priority; find the 'best' within reason, and if you can't afford it now, save up for it. As an example, if you liked a Rolex Submariner in terms of style, it would be better to save for that precise watch instead of getting a lookalike that was less expensive; the 'cope' watch will never scratch the itch. Performance is far easier to mimic than style.

2) Mechanical: would you prefer automatic wind or hand-wound? Do you want chronometer specs (or better), or is it okay for it to be +/- 10 seconds or more per day?

3) Then you should be fine with almost any watch, as long as it has new gaskets and/or has been pressure tested within a year. If it's an office job, do you want something formal-looking and sharp, or can anything go (like a g-shock).

4) Understandable, but the price may be higher for less-desirable models and brands in order to accomplish this.

5) Excellent.

The JLC Master Geographic looks like a cool model, even though the dial looks like it has damage to it (under the handset). Have you checked Chrono24? They might offer more options, although so far the price is higher than the one you have found.

Quite honestly, for what you're looking for, I'd suggest doing a blanket search on Chrono24 by budget (say, between 2-5k) of all watches, and just look through and see what you like and what you don't. You may find certain companies tend to have watches that appeal to your eye, but you'll also see things that might not come up if you only visit ADs that have current stock and nothing from older designs.

If I were to buy that JLC, I'd take it to JLC immediately and have them service it. It would be costly, and they might have to replace the dial...but it would be fresh and working very well after.

>>18020130
additionally; the choices are so numerous now from established brands and microbrands that you have quite a huge ocean of watches to choose from.

I guess the only other question to consider is, 'are you going to be happy with 1 watch, or will you want more than one for variety?'

>>18020133
Based OmegaChad.

Kofe time.

>>18020150
Based Citizenchad! It's rest time for me. Do you have any suggestions for the Anon's search? Honestly...there are so many choices available to him...I can't think of where to begin. Everything from vintage sector dials and excellent 3-handers from universal geneve to brand-new Tag, Oris, and Longines are within, say, 5k. Then if he goes to 10k, there's exponentially far more variety, and that's not even counting Grand Seiko or high-end Citizen.

I'm too tired to think of other options right now...I need help from other Anons who can suggest possibilities. Time to rest.

This looks much better than the coomers red seiko. I would open these threads and see his watch thinking it might be the bulova jet star and was disappointed to see his seiko which wasn't even a grand seiko.

I like the red more than the limited edition one.

It is a sexy dial.

>>18019249
>>18019262
$100 reps are junk.

You need to spend $500 plus for good ones and even then you need additional authentic parts to fool the scrutinizing watch euthuiast and a good back story. The smartest wealthy people I know that are smart are boomers that hate watches period. The others will be influenced by the superficial charm of the watch they perceive is real. I own several authentic watches and fakes and it is very difficult to tell the difference. The only fakes not worth getting are precious metal ones where the weight difference is obvious.

It also depends what you do for a profession and other elements of your life. You can pull it off. It requires finess.

They're most beneficial for job interviews for positions paying $150,000 salary plus. You never want to negotiate from a position of weakness or desperation. A $16000 watch conveys you don't need the job and can walk away if they lowball. Video interviews should be done with a DSLR so the watch is clearly visible. Once you make it and can prop up the image of being even wealthier through loans, find local charity events and auctions where you can hob knob with the local bourgeoisie and then once you're in that circle opportunities will open to be in the position to make enough money to not need to work a normie job again and can afford the authentic at that point.

If you can then do it. Better than wearing cope watched like Hamilton or Tissot.

Use replicas as a status stepping stone. Get a rolex at first. Then when you're in higher circles get a Patek or a VC. Don't bother with social watches like dive watches. You look low class and stupid with a submariner. That's restaurant owner or trades guy with too much money and not enough brains and will be out of place.
>>18019250
Soicuck argument.

Would I have a difficult time buying a basic black dial OP41 like this at a rolex AD? Or are these fairly easy to get in such a basic combination?

Also when you consider the value of what you're getting, is the OP a worthy option? Or does the rolex "entry level" truly start at the datejust and the OP, airking, and explorer are sort of the redheaded stepchildren of the lineup?

What is the right ratio of watch price to salary for men? You know how women want a diamond that’s equal to two months pay or whatever, is there a rule of thumb? I am tired of working with people who make 110k flexing a their gray market steel Rolexes. Esp if you don’t own a car, have children or own a house.

>>18020556
the consensus is that anything above 30% of your monthly salary makes you a poser

>>18020564
Who came up with this concensus?

>>18020594
Me and your mom.

>>18020564
MONTHLY salary? Are you sure you don't mean annual salary? If everyone went by that you'd have to be making over $200k a year to even justify buying an OP.

>>18020599
>you'd have to be making over $200k a year to even justify buying an OP.
200k a year means 16k per month.
You couldn't afford an OP if you spent 100% of your monthly salary, let alone 30%.

Yes exactly. 200k is maybe enough to be talking about the most entry level Rolex.

I personally have been considering a vintage OP/Date or Air King, I make more than that and I feel like it’s about borderline acceptable at my income/age.

30% of annual is just retarded. You’re gonna buy a GMT or whatever with your 42k/yr job as a receptionist?

>>18020700
I'm still not seeing any reason why. Why the fuck couldn't someone making $80-100k a year buy and wear a fuckin explorer or datejust? Assuming your finances are in the right place and you already have your house secured and a year or so of emergency money built up, why the fuck not?

By your logic if I make $100k I can buy and rotate wearing 20 seikos but if I save the money up and buy one datejust I've somehow committed an imaginary sin you yourself cannot explain.
