What's the most expensive orient star?

So any idea why day wheel is misaligned on weekdays? SAT/SUN is perfect MON is straight up diagonal...
Misprint issue?
Or will it fix itself after I "break it in"

>>18059019
Sounds like either a misprinted wheel or a deformed toothing under the wheel.

>>18059025
Probably nothing to worry about too much right? Will look goofy as shit on a Monday. Even Friday is skewed but not as bad. Only Sat/Sun looked right for whatever reason. Did cycle through all days fine tho.

>>18059029
Can't tell without looking at the wheel in isolation but it does sound like it's fucked up somehow.
Either that or the movement was poorly lubricated.

I'll just deal with it then. Fingers crossed it fixes itself tomorrow!

Nato straps are based.

King Seiko KSK is the most beautiful watch case.

>>18059190
perhaps a small whack sets the wheel in place until the next change?
one of my watches does this after a service, either over tightened some screws or overlubed/underlubed something, I'm not confident on the work done on it
anyway, date sometimes gets stuck halfway change, but a shake or a whack sets it at the proper position

>>18059506
Might try it then... I also wonder if it will just fall into place after many hours so maybe it could be fine tomorrow. It will be the real test I guess.

Thanks anon, I like it for casual summery outfits.

Happy monday everyone, wearing my err... TBQH I don't know the ref or nickname. I only bought it because its a failed Seiko line. I guess if I were to give it a name I'd name it the quirky shitter.

There's so many things wrong with it, its needlessly big. The lugs are ugly as fuck, the case overall is ugly, its big but has shit water resistance of 50m. The dial looks big, but then the dial is also ugly as fuck. The indices aren't even all applied correctly. I guess Quirky Shitter is right...

I bought rose gold and yellow gold aftermarket buckles to complement the case on a leather strap, but I'm clueless as to whether the color is yellow or rose, or yellow patinated into rose gold.

I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions

>>18060863
Looks yellow to me. I don't see rose at all.

>>18060879
Folks here like to shit on Seikos, and there's something to be said for avoiding the mid-budget watches that demonstrate a familiarity with what 'nice watches' are, and a lack of resources to actually afford the upper echelon of nice watches.

That said, if you like the watch, then good for you; just wear it and enjoy it. Presages have the nicest dials of any automatics at that price-point. Pretty interesting stitched herringbone pattern there; hadn't seen that one before.

This is the way. If your poor stay in you're lane and don't act like an uppity poofter you know very well that you are a dumb piece of shit otherwise you'd be rich so don't presume your allowed to enjoy nice things that are made for you're betters.

>there's something to be said for avoiding the mid-budget watches that demonstrate a familiarity with what 'nice watches' are, and a lack of resources to actually afford the upper echelon of nice watches.
Why? If someone legit doesn't wanna spend more than a couple of hundred bucks on a watch, why not? I wouldn't spend more than a 150 on a coffee machine. I could, but why would I? Yes there's probably an increase in quality, but I don't care about coffee that much as to where that difference would be all that substantial to me.

>>18060879
if you want people to talk about this model online you have to endlessly post pictures of it in different locations or next to different props in your house

>>18060889
It is just tacky, if your too dumb to get money just wear you're shitty rags from Banana Republic and your Casios.

>>18060879
Nah that actually looks really nice. It's just that I've never seen it before. Ref number?

>>18060889
Well, it depends. The thing about mid-level products - especially when they are somewhat functional but largely ornamental, as watches are - is that they stand astride a pretty awkward chasm, with pure function on one side (a $15 quartz watch will keep better time than a $15,000 tourbillon), and human craftsmanship, labor, and 'prestige' on the other. For many - especially those who want to show off their status on /fa/, watches are essentially Veblen goods, where the expensive watches are praised precisely because they are expensive and can be used as status symbols on this anonymous image board in an attempt to get a bunch of admiring (you)s. I'm sure there are some who appreciate the tradition, craftsmanship, fit and finish, history, etc of the big names here as well, but there's often a larger contingent of 'if it's not Rolex it's shit' posters.

And honestly, given that if we want to talk about functionality, we also need to admit that everyone is walking around with an atomic clock in their pocket (their cell phone), which makes that 'function' side of the equation tough to justify.

But honestly, if you like your couple-of-hundred-dollar watch, then just wear it and enjoy it; if you're not trying to show off or prove something to anyone else then there's nothing to it but to just wear what you like. If that's a Seiko, so be it.

as nice as this seiko is it showed me you have to only buy watches you have tried irl and instantly loved and the worst way to buy watches and you all do it is buy them online after looking at pictures/videos

not rly
it's easier to check your wrist for the time and this ease of keeping time helps with daily routines while a phone is cumbersome to carry and quickly glance at frequently

>>18060908
Yea that's why u wear a Shitty $50 Casio if your poor. Turn the rest into investment.

>>18060906 - That's your call.
>>18060908 - Sure, and it's also far more polite to glance at your watch than to pull out your phone and look at it if you're in a meeting or a conversation, but again if we're just talking function, a $15 quartz shitter is going to have you covered.

Buy an ad, mark

Been measuring my watches power reserve to compare to factory specs.

Interestingly my Moonwatch rated at 48 hours stopped at 53 hours. That's a fuck ton more than spec. Why does this happen?

>ngl these new Islander hammered dial GMTs look pretty based.
Ok mark

>>18061555
Buy a trip, faggot.

>>18061556
It's probably an average. Maybe yoirs is on the high end, maybe as the spring breaks in more it'll come down. It would also be interesting and make some sense if the advertised spec is based on running the chronograph the whole time, maybe that plays a role.

>>18061554
lovely

>>18061556
For power reserve, brands underestimate their movement performances on purpose in order to :
>make you happy when you realize your power reserve is closer to 51 h than the factory-tolerance 48h
>avoid complains, warranty repairs and possible returns from that one retard who will say it's intolerable that his watch lasts 47h when it's supposed to last 48
>aiming for this as the low bar means you'll get better performances once optimization and redundancies and such are added during conception
Same with accuracy : your factory tolerances for beat error, amplitude and daily rate are very easily improved upon because they're lowball numbers. It's not hard to get a 7750 or even a basic 2824 to COSC levels of regulation if you've oiled it well but its factory tolerances will still be -10/+15 with a 40 seconds delta.

>>18061569
It plays a role because that shit crushes your accuracy and power reserve. I have tried with some 7750s and you go from approx. 50h to 30h, running very late at the last third.

>>18061572
When you try to explain this kind of thing concerning seiko's giant range for accuracy guarantee on their movements they guffaw, but it's true. I've never had a watch that was anywhere close to the extremes of the accuracy range in the manuals, but if they made the stated range too tight they'd probably get destroyed by everyone sending their watches back. When you're told your watch could be as much as 40 seconds fast a day and you find it's actually only about 8 seconds fast, even though that's not particularly great it feels like you made out okay. In a weird way.

>>18061578
>if they made the stated range too tight they'd probably get destroyed by everyone sending their watches back
Exactly.
IF you tighten your stated specs, you open yourself to a whoooole lot of warranty interventions on which you'll lose money, all because the operators on your production line were having a shit day when that movement batch fall into their hands.
It's much safer to give very broad estimates knowing full well your movement is capable of much, much better if regulated correctly.
It's also great for maintenance watchmakers who can wing it and still be within factory tolerances because ETA's paper says it's okay as long as you gain less than 15s/d. IF you're being a shitheel and not giving timegrapher tickets to clients, that is.

No, it's his friend he doxx'd with a photo he posted of him trying to be slick with a wrist shot sitting next to his "date"(he actually started dating prostitutes he was seeing regularly) in a hooka lounge in Nuremberg. He's a narcissistic menace to everyone around him.

>>18062121
Yeah at least TGV and Maaahk shit on watches sometimes. More so TGV I guess because Long Island watch shop is a thing.

>>18062200
kek how many times did he post tjis picture?

>>18062194
Why does that mean there couldn't be an expensive rare Lip? I don't know anything about the brand but in briefly looking around I saw a couple watches people were asking over $1000 for. Some of these watches are 50-70 years old, it's almost amazing they're worth anything.

Id on this watch?

>>18062211
Left is probably a Nautilus but obviously you mean cr7s watch. It's probably a Casio that costs 5 digits

>>18062206
Once, bittertadello has been posting it ever since

>>18062200
That guy wasn’t even his friend. It was just another guy at the hookah bar. Probably wondering why anyone would date a literal whore.

Why would anyone be seething at somebody having intercourse with a prostitute. You can literally do it yourself, what's stopping you?

>>18062200
What's the backstory on this guy?

>>18062226
He was way too close and making way too much eye contact to not be there with him.
>>18062230
Nobody is seething that he hires prostitutes. They're saying nobody cares for his blogging about prostitutes and that literally trying to treat them as dates is fucking cringe. Not to mention paying people to put your watches in their ass crack for something to post online is fucking cringe.

>>18062235
tl;dr he's a greek faggot that immigrated to Germany, cheated on his wife so she divorced and shitcanned him, he discovered luxury watches and prostitutes to distract himself from his shameful life and incessantly and narcissistically blogs about it here, posting other people's faces without their consent because he doesn't give a shit. He usually blurs the whores faces but probably only because he expects to have continued relations with them and doesn't want to be doxx'd by his connection to them. He's now moved on to doing the same shit except in Japan.

Because Lip was mass-producing poor quality watches, sometimes based on movement pattents they imported from the USSR. If you try to sell thmem high, you are trying to rip someone off hoping they won't know about the brand. The only Lip that really grow in price because of the demand are vintage Mach 2000 in good condition (because the plastic pushers flake off) and some of the early Nautic Ski models but that's kind of it.
It's like getting a Mickey Mouse dollar watch from Ingersoll in the US, send it to Italy or whatever and ask for 1000 bucks because it's old and vintage. It is absolutely not worth that much, it's a low quality, mass-produced watch and you're just exploiting the possibility that your customers won't know about a foreign brand and believe you that it's worth anything.

I wouldn't think you could get away with that on a website like Chrono24 or ebay or something though. If you're selling watches in person maybe, but when you're scrolling through a website and see a bunch of $100 shitters and then suddenly a couple $1000 watches show up you know something's up. 2 minutes on google can tell you if it's a scam or there's some legitimate reason for that.

I get that anybody can list anything for any price, but still. He's not the only one selling a Lip that high, so there's probably more to the story.

>>18062272
It doesn't even work, fincel posted his quartz shitter pictures in the vintage watch thread. They don't give a shit, they just NEED to show everyone their shitters at every opportunity and let people know they are still here lurking.

>>18062211
Ugly shitter+diamonds

>>18062274
Never ever EVER forget to check bought listings, not active listings.
Especially on ebay.
The site is packed with listings that will most likely never work because the price is way higher than it should in case a sucker falls for it, and if you check the prices that actually resulted in sales, it's often much lower.
Same with chrono24, most prices end up negociated down.
And no, there's really not that much more to Lip, it's :
>the Mach 2000 because of the Talon design and history
>the Nautic Ski because of the olympic connection and the electrical movement
>the supposed "strike watches" that were hidden and sold during the mass strikes at the Lip factory when unions decided to bypass managment and run the sales and finances themselves. Most watches sold as "strike watches" have zero proof that they were actually part of these hidden stock
The rest is mostly basic cheapo dress watches with thin gold plating, some gold cases for ladies watches with less than 20g worth of metal, a small handful of unusuals (the Parking Watch with a countdown for instance. These very rarely show up on sale because they were flops, last one I saw ended up sold on ebay for 600 euro) and their contemporary fake-heritage stuff pretending De Gaulle and Churchill wore their watches

>>18062427
do you bother setting the day of the week window?

One month here, never wore the credor once.

>>18062429
Of course he does. What, do you thibk he's some kind of baka gaijin that doesn't read kanji?

I just edited my fingers out. They were reflecting

>>18062508
Wow, so you'll edit your own fingers out of a reflection on a watch but you won't bother to edit someone's full face in a shot. Fucking unbelievable.

>>18062514
incredibly narcissist behaviour

No style of watch excites me as a dive watch. Most of them look absolutely horrible I admit. But those that do look good look so much more adventurous and interesting than other watch styles. It's a shame that they are viewed as Rolex homages. In fact the less a dive watch looks like a Sub the better, unless it's a Tudor hehe. I wish I had the wrist for all the amazing shitters like Orient Kamasu, Glycine Airman, Seiko Marinemaster, Certinas, Squales, etc...

This is what I'm saying, why is he allowed to continue to do this? At best he's an annoying spammer, at worst he could be doxing people, and when they try to ban him he evades the ban. He should be banned on sight for ban evasion alone and it shouldn't even be hard to do because he sticks out like a sore thumb and deliberately makes himself known.

>>18062619
Filter "IMG" and stop being a bitch about it. We're also tired of your 10 replies- meltdown for every pic of his.

>>18063061
No we're not.

>>18063101
Then keep having a small mental breakdown whenever you see a tudor or granseiko

>>18063152
Whoretadello or just simping?

>>18063162
You know it's whoretadello. If anyone causes 10 replies of bitching when he posts a picture it's him bitchfully trying to defend himself from people telling him his watches are shit or he's a retard.

Classmate bought an SLGAH005

Is it the camera or is the hibeat actually smaller in diameter?

>>18063340
Oops. I guess that makes two people who know how to avoid being filtered by not using trips or keywords to get max attention from the attention farm general.

you got the certification for Omega service and the extra one for co-axial?

>>18063403
Damn. This is why Omega > Rolex

>>18061365
You can buy a Braun watch for like a 10th of the price and get superior aesthetics. I normally am not pessimistic about any brand but this company is absolutely trash and everything they make is such a cynical reflection of the market. These things are dog shit with zero redeeming value for anyone besides /r/cars users excited with “vintage” inspiration. This is a Chinese made watch. Theyre as bad as Shinola.

Maybe one day, I primarily work on Cartier and Panerai.

>>18063577
Yep, now with the co-axial escapement and free sprung balance, first ever for the Speedmaster Professional

>>18063445
Good luck! Please don't buy one at retail as these can be found pre owned for 5.5-6k full set if you know where to look.

>>18063691
You and me both
Shame the store I work for doesn't carry a lot of Swatch Group stuff so I'm really low on the priority list for an Omega accreditation.
Also, FUCK Cartier repair guidelines, worst corner-cutting I've ever seen.
>hey do I get to service your automatic watches now?
>no
>why not?
>because we make more by hiring operators in our repair centers who will change movements entirely and you have to follow our repair centers standards, also we get a kickback since you buy the spare movements from us

>>18063694
>for 5.5-6k full
Not him, but WHERE!! The lowest I can find that isn't half the world away is 2 years old and used and even then it was like 6400 €.

>>18063697
>...who will change movements entirely...
This is why I appreciate companies that ensure cases and movements receive matching serial numbers.

>>18063712
Look on Chrono 24 buddy, you can find Speedy Pros with exhibiton case back starting at around 5k depending if it's got box/papers. Don't be afraid of used pieces. I got mine for 5.4k full set with bracelet 2021 production pre owned and still have two years of warranty left

>>18064806
Looks classy,my only complaint would be the thickness and the somewhat pale shade of 'rose gold'.

>>18063857
>starting at around 5k
It used to be $2k lmfao.

Gday cunts

>>18064906
Well Omega marketing worked I guess

>>18064898
The paleness could be from the lighting/camera. My precisionist shitter's rg accents do appear more muted in certain lighting situations compared to others.
I like that dial configuration. I'd take a date wheel over a date window any fucking day of the week. While looking it up I found a few other versions, dark-blue dial, light-blue (almost white) dial, green, brown, and they're not that expensive either. They are chunky though.

>>18065079
There are many colors to choose from, yes. I have the 'normal' one without the power reserve in blue.
