It’s not even worth the 250 bucks, it feels insanely cheaper, although it does sit comfortable but you can TELL it’s made out of plastic by just looking at it. The dial looks beautiful though and it’s not a bad watch per se.
I might sell it and just get the Tissot Gentleman, heck even the quartz version would be fine at this point. I ultimately just want one watch for every occasion, sporty and elegant yet neither dress nor diver. I’d prolly get something like an Aqua Terra and or an Explorer, a g shock for sports and manual labor and call it a day.

What were the last two watches you bought.

>>18030530
Keep it. It's an overpriced gimick that can be fun every now and then.

Based edition

>>18030534
These two timepieces.

>>18030534
The Omega should be delivered tomorrow

>>18030544
Looks cool!

This vintage Tressa skin diver looks amazing

>>18030530
Which g-shock are you planning to get?

Can I get a rate? As you can tell from my collection I am pathologically incapable of spending more than ~$1000 on a watch.

Considering a Vulcain Cricket President to fill the last slot however. The obvious answer would be I need a chrono, but desu I just don't really like them.

Hamilton Dune Ventura Edge

>>18030567
Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. Does it have chrono function?
Also fuck this captcha.

>>18030573
Yeah

>>18030576
Sweet. Nice watch anon.

>>18030576
Can we see the back case?

>>18030534
I mean I might as well, am I not? It’d be a fun toy to give to my nephew whenever he’ll be getting into watches
>>18030563
I don’t know to be honest, the classic one feels a bit too nerdy so I’d get one of those newer rounder ones like the GA-2100 series

Finally a pic with both of them

Thoughts on Christopher Ward?

>>18030670
Into the trash.

>>18030670
Their moonphases watches are the prettiest in the industry

>>18030564
Just the Casio Royale makes the entire collection based. Tissot is nice and I like both Longines. Also that Art Deco Bulova is sweet as fuck.

>>18030690
lmao how delusional are you?

Spring drive: Is it more mechanical or more quartz? And why?

>>18030700
Depends on who you ask. Haters will say quartz, fanboys will say mechanical.
I'd say mechanical because 90% of the components are the same as a mechanical watch. Some say it's only about how the watch is regulated and nothing else matters, so it's a quartz for them.

>>18030700
>trying to start a fight lol

It’s both. The hands are driven by the mechanical force of a spring unwinding, the rate of the movement is controlled by the vibration of a quartz crystal with an electric current passing through it.

If you’ve ever disassembled a watch movement to service it, you’d see it’s the regulation and adjustment across multiple positions that is as much art as science.
Simply reassembling a gear train can be done while half asleep.

>>18030700
It's powered entirely mechanically, by a spring. There are zero batteries or capacitors.
But the timekeeping is done by a quartz crystal instead of an escapement.

>>18030713
This. The beating heart of the watch is the most important part. Spring Drive replaces it with quartz.
There’s a reason Grand Seiko has kept on making truly mechanical movements.

Making a seriously accurate movement with a purely mechanical system is difficult. Using quartz? Not so much.

>>18030719
Making a quartz regulator work purely on spring tension was monstrously difficult. It took decades to make it work, and iirc the original inventor never saw the actual production versions.

It's neat from a technical standpoint, and the gliding hand is insanely cool irl

>>18030723
Wasn’t difficult to make, just expensive to produce. Those are two different things. Even quartz movements were expensive to produce at one point. It’s not like any technology in it is beyond the ken of a second semester physics student.

>>18030705
>Haters will say quartz, fanboys will say mechanical.
You can really lump these two together. Fanboys treat anything other than fawning adoration as ‘hating’.

Most people don’t care or like other things better. That makes them haters.
Gos forbid anyone actually criticizes, however mildly or backed up with facts they may be; that’s a declaration of war.

faggits

>>18030583
>one of those newer rounder ones like the GA-2100 series
It's very comfortable and a nice looking watch.
>>18030587
Very nice watch anon. Don't mind the bitter anons.

I'll give a shit about spring drive, eco drive and all that nerd shit the day the japs will make a good looking watch.
Meanwhile you can eat shit, you fucking weebs

>>18030733
How the fuck would you criticize spring drive?
It works perfectly for what it is.

>>18030719

>There’s a reason Grand Seiko has kept on making truly mechanical movements

Indeed and they are very nice. The Dual Impulse escapement is the refinement of Daniels’ coaxial escapement Omega wishes it had come up with.

>>18030727
>Wasn’t difficult to make, just expensive to produce
Why would you just make shit up? Do you have some kind of disorder?

It took over 20 years for Spring Drive to actually be released and went through three development cycles before it was actually practical.

>>18030748

The poster you’re responding to understands how the movement works. You think it’s magic and only spout back marketing materials.

>>18030748
>t. Doesn’t understand industrial engineering.

Just fixed up this puppy (turns out all it had was a loose cannon-pinion).

Strap ideas? Right now I have it on a Citizen ND-limits knockoff. Also thinking of swapping the dial, becuase this is kinda plain and the numerals look kinda cheap.

Also end of shift messy workbench.

>>18030741
That’s really at the heart of it, though.

>>18030576
>>18030567
What type of screen is that? is it OLED? it's not LED right?

Also what does it have beyond a chrono in terms of features?

>>18030504
holy shit is that the new smartwatch hooooooooly shiiiiit

>>18030700
It's the worst of both worlds.

>>18030700
It's the best of both worlds.

How big should a watch look like relative to your wrist size?

>>18030748
>>18030727
This is what I'm saying. On one hand, you have people who go as far as to say that a 2nd semester kid could come up with it, and on the other hand you have people who say that it took decades to make.
It's always like that, never seen anyone be objective about it.
I just enjoy the seethe on both sides.

>>18030780
Wrist width/phi=watch diameter

>>18030783
>It's always like that, never seen anyone be objective about it.
It’s weird. Like, imagine if Omega fans made co-axial their entire personality.

>>18030567
>>18030576
>>18030587
This is funky as fuck. Is it plastic or steel?

>>18030816
Hardcore Omega fans probably hate cuck-axial.

I only own two shitter Omegas, but I'll never in a million years get a cuck-axial.

>>18030700
It's a quartz watch that is more mechanical.

>>18030823
True, the hardcore probably don’t like any thing made post 1981 when they were taken over by what would later become Swatch.

I have a quartz 90s Bond Seamaster that I like, though. It’s a great travel beater.

>>18030823
>>18030832
Vintage Omegas are so good, especially the models from the 60s. Pic related is pure SEX. 38mm, hand winding movement. and not that expensive (less than 4k, brand new). I'd get this over a fucking Tudor any day.
Fuck the Hayek family for what they have done to the brand.

>>18030856
Another beauty from the early 70s. 37mm.
These sell for less than 3k. Blue or burgundy. BASED.

>>18030856
>>18030858
AAAAAAAAAAAH I'M GONNA COOOOOOM

>this OP is very happy and can't wait to recieve picrel he ordered today for 90€ no shipping cost

>>18030856

>>18030530
The swatch blancpain is so much better than the speedy it’s not even close.

>>18030870
Hands down this is a fucking gorgeous chronograph

>>18030861
I love Orient so much. Happy new watch brother

>>18030735
This is what I have. Kind of a piece of shit. The numerals have remnants of dead radium, but the hands are solid blued hands, so at one point they were likely replaced for whatever reason. Also the center of the dial is not as darkened as the rest, which is an indicative of radium-burn. As the hands went around over the years they slowly burned the dial evenly, except near the center, where the hands would not have a lume filling.

Also I assume the bezel was chromed as well, but it either all came off, or it partially came off, and someone just decided to remove all of it.

>>18030873
Imagine if Rolex had the balls to do white painted hands.

There's a reason why connoisseurs gravitate towards the Explorer II, while none of them can really explain why, But I can.

>>18030886
Very nice model overall, but I'm not a fan of that thick black outline.

>>18030874
thank's my bretheren :)
i think the new one with the light champagne dial will my by edc now

>>18030886
>Imagine if Rolex had the balls to do white painted hands.
They did in the past.

>>18030894
Looks like vintage sporty Omega hands.

>>18030894
>>18030908
Wrong pic.

I don't really understand why the multibillion dollar Swatch group, which seems to literally have more money than God, can't come up with a way to make a production automatic chronograph watch under 14mm thick. Instead they charge $1800 to pull the same trick that Chinese manufacturers pull when they put handwound Seagull 1963 movements into their $300 Daytona knockoffs.

>>18030858
this looks very kino

>>18030912
>>18030913
>>18030914
>>18030915
I don't have the wrist for them, but I respect Panerai's design. Instantly recognizable
>>18030910
Really reminds me of the junghans 1972. Does anyone here wear their watch with the face on the underside of their wrist?
>>18030870
yeah this is beautiful
>>18030823
yes, co-axial era omega outed many of their hardcore following at the time
>>18030780
I don't think there are any set rules, but I think watches that are too big on your wrist can be a bit cartoonish unless they offer a specific utility. That 36mm explorer looks tiny on that guy's wrist, while my 36mm datejust fits my 7" wrist fine
>>18030756
I think red nylon strap would look great. keep me updated
>>18030733
>>18030700
I'm not a GS 'hater' but I consider spring drive to be a quartz movement simply because it contains a quartz crystal. However if I were to buy a GS, it would definitely be a spring drive
>>18030670
I think they did a really good job with the antarctique
>>18030576

>>18031340
You ask a legitimate question about watches trying to discuss them and get no replies because everyone is too busy blogging and seething over blogging and dick measuring. So yes. Just let watch generals die at this point, they offer nothing of value.

>>18031379
yes, you can try regulating your nh35 shitter, but it's an unadjusted movement so +-2 is probably not happening

A spring drive is half a mechanical movement plus a small circuit plate, a magnet for the brake, and a quartz module.
How the absolute fuck is any of this inherently "expensive to produce"?

Protip: it's not, the only difficult part is making it all work together. Which is what took decades to perfect.

>ugly case lugs
>ugly-as-fuck metal strap and a leather one won't make it look better

Correct

>>18031573
I never liked the speedy either, it just does nothing for me. The case is not pretty, the flat bezel and protruding crystal make it look odd, the dial is boring...

This is what a good tricompax chronograph looks like.

>>18031591
Are you excited for when Breitling brings it back at 47mm across and 17mm thick?

>>18031592
Nope. On the contrary, I'm very worried.

>>18031592
I'm optimistic for the brand. Hypothetically all they really need to do is reissues of the bread and butter classics for the brand like the polerouter. Even Breitling can't screw up a simple little 3 hand watch, r-right?

Speaking of vintage Omega...
This just came in.
Chronostop Geneve from 1968. Love it.

>>18031620

>>18031630
One push to launch the chronograph. Push again and hold to stop and check the time. Release to reset it.
To be honest it's a complete meme function. You can only time things under a minute.
I bought it because I love the design and the big bold orange hand.

watches are stupid

this general is stupid

>>18031620
Classic. Very nice.

>>18031617
I would like to be optimistic but Breitling hasn’t released enough information yet.

UG was a top end, premium brand back in its heyday. Closer to JLC than Rolex, in terms of marketing.
If Breitling makes UG something similar, fine, but I worry that Breitling would not want to be the second-tier brand in their own company so they’ll make UG a sort of Tudor.

>>18031659
Universal Geneve was an absolute legend — and probably the biggest legend ever in the world of horology — but merely in terms of design and fashion status of those who wore their watches. The movements were not that good as people believe. The only way Breitling could revive the brand without shitting on it is by faithfully reproducing its classic chronographs — size, colours, hands, concepts and materials (except for the mineral glass) should be exactly the same — but with updated and perfected contemporary Swiss movements. This will imply very high prices, but it's the only way to make justice to one of the most glorious and worshiped watch brands of all time.

>>18031620
I'm not a fan of those 1970s case shapes, but you wear it very well. Also, I already told you, you have some nice body hair and a nice wrist.

>>18031617
It's breitling, they are physically incapable of producing a watch that isn't an atrocity

>>18031686

>>18031686
It's unfair to post a late 90s/early 00s shitter to make fun of Breitling. Pretty much every brands were making dogshit watches at that time.
I think they're doing much better these days. I still wouldn't buy one because there's a million watches I would buy before a Breitling, but pic related is alright.

Must be painful to see all these beautiful watches and then looking at your plastic toy :(
Here's a board for ya, little buddy >>>/toy/

I'd be quite surprised if the 54, which just came out last year, gets new iterations. I feel that the P01 will finally be put to rest, and they might make smaller GMTs or smaller Tudor Rangers. They might put the METAs certification in the 54, though. I'm not buying a watch until the summer, so it is not a big deal.

I'm poor. Please recommend a watch for the gym. I will get a job I promise.

Jumping hour, from Chaumet. Automatic movement, 36mm.
There's a vintage watch shop in my city that sells one in white gold with a quartz movement for 4k. Hmmmmmm

Ugh, this is so cool

>>18032016
Gshock

what are some kino but cheap movements

>>18032034
Seagull

>>18032035
which ones?

>>18032042
Seagull's ST1901

Swatch doesn't seem ashamed to be the shitter brand that owns 20 higher end brands.

>>18031501
I usually don't like Nomos as well, but im really thinking about buying Club Sport. I think it looks great

>>18031483
I really like the off-center dial design on the Lange 1, but I think the panomaticlunar does it way smoother for a fraction of the price

>>18031659
That's not how it works. Volkswagen owns Porsche for example. FIAT Chrysler owns Ferrari. And so on.

>>18031492
I love the bracelet design those seamsters

>>18032062
That’s how it COULD work. If Breitling wants to move upmarket they could use UG as an entry level brand, just like what Rolex does with Tudor.
They own it. They can do whatever they want with it.

>>18032060
But, without the good finishing.

Why are people who make and wear watches where the main time telling dial is a subdial allowed to share space with normal people?

>>18032065
Tudor didn't start out as a legendary high end manufacturer that went defunct though.

>>18032063
Why? It's a 5 link with extra steps.

>>18032070
Doesn’t really matter. Universal Geneve was already dead on its feet by the 1970s. The marketing team is basically starting with a clean slate in terms of brand awareness. The number of people who actually know the brand is comparatively tiny.

>>18031853
>Soiko

>>18030780
forget that the question do you actually want to be able to read the clock face without puttingg your eyes right up to it or squinting,

>>18032084
You might want to get your eyes checked

>>18032076
People in the market for a UG probably know UG.

>>18030780
It depends on what kind of watch ot is and what your tastes are. As long as a watch fits on your wrist without the lugs hanging over the top you can wear it, but most watches really don't need to be very large. If a watch has a lot of complications on it then it may make sense to make it larger for the sake of being able to read it clearly, but if you're just wearing a 3 hand watch with no complications it doesn't really even make sense to go much larger than 38mm in diameter. You can add a lot of weight and make it uncomfortable pretty quickly.

You're a legit brainlet, this is the first time I see a lot of gorgeous watches posted on /wt/. The thread has never been this good. Probably a poorfag cope.

People will buy it.

>>18030670
I am at all times tempted by their light-catcher case style and I'm actively trying to avoid buying a trident.

>>18032105
So the only flaw is the change of size?

>>18030861
Baste Orient.

>>18032105
I've been really considering getting one of the lorier astras. It looks about as good as a new reinterpretation of a polerouter is going to get.

>>18032117
That and it'll probably have one of those retarded series-of-tubes bracelets Breitling keeps using.

>>18032123
38 mm would be fine for chronograph reissues, but very bad for a new Polerouter

>>18032097
and you are a big fat tranny faggot. and also bald. who multi replies like some greek woman? no sorry, just calling yourself one doesn’t count. I’m sorry your datejust is an utter piece of shit I’m not the one making poor decisions for you KEK

I'll never be able to afford a Audemars Piguet.

this thing costs $1000+ to service btw

and they "recommend" you do it every 3 years

>>18032124
>astra_references
I had it in my cart during pre-order but took too long. I'm glad now, the hour hand is too small. I would never get over it.
Hoping the inevitable new polerouters are good.

very happy to see watch threads exists. i own a Timex x Space Snoopy MK1, Timex Ironman Flix, Grand Seiko SGM221, Omega X-33 Skywalker, Mühle Glashütte SAR Rescue Timer Lumen and a Z serial 114270.

none are perfect but all together they fit me and my life well. i can answer questions about any of them. site won’t let me post pics right now for some reason.

you guys are all staying up to turn your non perpetual calendars right?

>>18032203
that's all?

>>18032125
Are the original UG chronographs that small?

Very nice and clean, i don't usually like the look of most Pateks but this is nice.

>>18032189
Ignore GS chronographs, they are unable to make one that isn't buttugly.

>>18032375
here you go

>>18032375
>>18032412
good day bros

>>18032412
This just sold for 230 on ebay, as usual I set my phone down to keep tabs on the bidding and then forgot. I assume it's a dial repaint though?
I've seen a few black dial seiko business weekdaters but not blue.

G'mornin
Kofe time.

>>18031853
You got Soikio's number pal keep buying those Rolex's they only produce 1.8 - 2 million units per year so they're about as rare as a Timex diver.

>>18032056
Utter irony really.
Muh "high end watch". Yes sir that's an excellent "gentleman's time piece" lol.

What watch is this?

>>18032189
Shit, like everything else made by Grand Seiko.

Tell me about this brand. Anyone own one?

>>18032441

Certina are absolute shitter.

>>18032420
Nope not a repaint, charcoal dials did exist but are rare.

>>18032420
>>18032422
It's black, the blue is just a reflection on the crystal. The one on your pic is a quite rare model with the blocky indices. Not my favorite one as far as looks go desu.

>>18032420
>for 230
Just get a good one for 400-600 the cheap ones are beat to hell usually and are not good looking, it's worth it.

>>18032424
I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

>>18032441
Have a cool proprietary waterproofing system right?

>>18032336
They were usually somewhere between 35 and 39 mm.

>>18032441
Vintage Certinas are highly appreciated among watch enthusiasts. It's a good brand.

>field watch
>quartz
>illuminated
>no annoying loud ticking

Does such a thing even exist? Timex Expedition would be perfect, but like all the garbage Timex is loud as fuck.

>>18032482
>field watch
What do you think you're going to do in the fields, kid?

>>18032484
i just find them nice to look at.

>>18032485
Is that what you think

>>18032484
The killing fields? Oh, you know...

>>18030538
Is that a 8200 on the left?

>>18032482
I'm sure aliexpress has these dime a dozen, just make sure they're not using the same movement as timex does

>>18032482
>>18032518
oh iluminated like with a fucking light, not lume
my bad, no idea

>>18031865
Wearing my 20-something year old Seiko Premier Quartz I inherited from my grandpa. Thinking about picking up an automatic daily watch

New industry news

humble beater/daily/dress combo, recently upgraded the reddit straps

>>18032537
Nice Seiko. Hard to see Soikos as nice as that.

>>18032565
Please no. Not an 18 mm strap on the World Time. Looks fucking wrong.

>>18032565
How's the KUOE?

>>18032589
yea i was just testing it out a bit, i really like the black on it
i have a cardboard chink pleather strap but i hate how it feels compared to genuine leather

>>18032587
Thanks man

>>18032598
i love it, im glad i didnt buy one of the seiko basic bitch shit and spent some time looking into more niche stuff
at 600$ it might not be the best value but it checks everything that u need: sapphire, good lume, +-3sec, quality dial, really shows these japs put in the work
its also pretty rare to see a 36mm watch nowadays

>>18030504
Does anyone know where to get a 1960s vintage Zodiac Aerospace GMT serviced? I inherited one from my grandpa that he bought at the PX while he was stationed in Germany in 60s. It loses about 10 minutes a day and the date complication stop on the stem does not engage. Tried to get it serviced at a local jeweler, all they did was heavily scratch the back and replace the crown (losing the original zodiac logo crown in the process) rather than repairing anything. Like an idiot, I did not take pics before so suing them is out. I'm in East TN, but willing to travel a bit for service.

>>18032343
Why not just buy a rep

>>18032343
Didn't watch the video, just left a troll comment under it, btw you should consider killing yourself while wearing those faggy fur glowes...

>>18032626
Kuoe bros... We win again.
Where can I get one in tokyo?

>>18032682
Is that that white birch again?
Does it have this "plain white dial with black markers and hands" effect under certain lighting irl as well, or just in pics?

>>18032638
Try a Zodiac AD?

>>18032685
It does, it does.

>>18030504
is the ick on eck guy on /pol/ fat mortadello?

>>18032690
Now that zodiac is owned by fossil, they no longer service the old swiss movements, at least that is what the ones I tried told me.

>>18032695
That's insane

Oh wow, another immigrant in a country where they don’t belong. HOW EXCITING! make sure you spend money and buy buy buy more overpriced GARBAGE fucking weeb faggot hope you have an absolute SHIT weekend with your prostitue of choice LMFAOOOOOOOOO
