>>18076551

>>18076529
>>18076537
I took it to a jeweler who got it working but it stopped two days later. Battery tests good so there may be a problem with the movement. Jeweler is investigating.

>>18076553
The problem is that this is a fucking pathetic watch to wear. Even back in its day it was just for dumbass highschool kids who mom's got them at the mall for some function.

>>18076488
It's literally available on Amazon.

I don't understand why people like chronographs. It is the Larp watch par excellence. No one is going to use a chronograph these days and the subdials seem overloaded on the dial. I understand that it is for aesthetics, in this case i would opt for a perpetual calendar, at least in this case the subdials have a real use. That is just my opinion.

>>18076590
Yes, but it's better than a chink shitter.

Fits the bill.

>>18076778
I have owned a Seiko 5 and I can tell you that it makes no sense in the modern world when there are cheap and accurate quartz watches. Mechanical watches only make sense as highly manufactured pieces.

>>18076793
Are you a bot or something? Again, the problem has nothing to do with the movement. The problem is Seiko expects you to pay $1000 on a watch before they'll give you sapphire. You can buy Chinese shitter automatics for $100 that still manage to put sapphire on their shit and most of the time they're using literally the same seiko movements.There's literally no excuse for not putting sapphire on watches in every price range. Just pay the extra few cents per unit. And that's not even getting into the still shitty bracelet clasp, which again even cheap microbrands are putting proper milled clasps with toolless microadjustment on watches around this price range. It's a disgrace.

>Does a DLC coating decrease value of a Rolex?
Yes. Rolex will either outright refuse to service it or require you to replace the entire case.

The only modifications they seem to allow are personal engravings on the caseback.

>>18077053

I have skinny wrists and can't fit my steel bracelet right. It's either too tight or loose enough than when my arm isn't swelled my watch slides down to my hand.

This is quite annoying, I love the watch and want to make it fit nicely. I even bought an "on the fly" adjustment clasp and have reversed the clasps for a better fit but alas... it's not quite perfect

>>18077210
I hate all of the dead skin it attracts under the bezel though.

I wonder if whoretadello has this problem.
https://youtube.com/shorts/PC8FE26GxcI?si=7eVTXpOxja_e6mNo

Kofe time.

>>18076606
It's actually simple. I can activate, stop, and reset the chronograph sightless. It takes fewer actions than activating a stopwatch on a phone. If designed well, then it's extremely legible even under tough circumstances. I use two at work, and now they are indispensable. If you don't need a stopwatch for anything, then it's like having a date on a watch when you don't need one; a cool complication, but nothing more.

I am definitely a fan of the aesthetics of a chronograph; I love lots of subdials, and I love the interactivity that a chronograph provides. A 3-hander just tells the time...and that's about it. Boring.

Why are the same rich retards still in this thread? Can't they just get a Discord or some shit and circlejerk with each other? I really miss when this was about watches.

>>18077333

Good evening fren.
The Chronomaster is running well as ever. The Stiletto surprised me though, it didn't drift any noticeable amount between the time changes.
How have you been yourself, work keeping you busy? Hope all is well.

>>18077344
Glad to hear it's running well and that the Stiletto still impresses; what a great design that is!

At the moment, life is excellent, and any stresses that occur are predictable and manageable. Every once in a while I think about 'thinning the herd', but just can't bring myself to sell any of them. They all serve a purpose now, so I'm enjoying all of them for their charms.

Hope you are doing well and staying in good health too. Take care, and good luck with the thread!

>>18077349
>At the moment, life is excellent, and any stresses that occur are predictable and manageable.
I'm glad to hear that fren, hope your life keeps a steady upward trajectory.
As for selling watches, I would advice against it just for the sake of making a watchbox look nice. In your case, you are in the possession of some rarities which probably wouldn't be so well looked after elsewhere.

Thoughts on a mint smooth bezel with jubilee datejust? My AD has one for me but not sure if I should hold out for the fluted bezel

So I just visited Nakano, the shops there are kinda stuck up. They don't want you loitering for you long while at the same time never walked up to ask if you needed any help. They do the stupid Jap X when I try to take a picture. They give me the stinkeye just for looking too closely. And their watches aren't even that good.

I just wanted a 16570 but they're all polished to hell. I'm kicking myself for not bringing with me a loope but now that I left(went to Thailand) there's no point. I'll just look for one if they turn up at a grey market. I've heard a few good things about this place though, so I might stop by to see what they got.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=NxDVFDdTrB4

I think it looks nice but DJ isn't something you need to jump on if they don't have a jubilee bezel now they will in a few months. Unfortunately the jubilee will bring the price well above 10k and as someone who has a smooth bezel I honestly prefer the smooth.

Take the strap pill, it's comfy.

>>18077425
Straps are comfortable but bracelets are so nice in how they don't give a fuck about what you're doing. You can do yard work, wash dishes, whatever, and they look good and you aren't going to hurt anything. With straps you have a choice of leather, which looks good but water can fuck them up, or rubber or nylon which are functional and fine in water but look like shit.

>>18077417
>Why would you ever send your watch to Rolex in the first place?
Because some watchmakers will refuse to service it since they cannot ever get any spare parts. Rolex will not send any to anyone.
If you go to an independent watchmaker who doesn't mind and doesn't have to mind with repair accreditations, they sure, a lot of them will do it and if necessary use generic parts (you really don't need a Rolex mainspring when you can get mainsprings by size anyway) but if certain things are broken then there might not be much they could do unless they have a stock of dead movements to cannibalize.
Also, don't underestimate how dumb owners are when it comes to this, thinking that you MUST go specifically to the brand or even the store you bought your watch from to have anything done on it.
>oiy vey we don't have the bezel insert
The worst part is that they will not return original parts because "muh black market, muh fakes".
All the Swatch Group brands will return any part that was replaced when a watch is serviced (aside from electronics because something something health and safety regulations what if your retarded kid tries to eat an integrated circuit or whatever) because you own them still. Rolex not only doesn't do that but they don't let you know what they will change and won't let you opt out either.
All of this so they don't have to admit that decades later, they still can't make a red bezel.

>>18077114
Date window is fucking atrocious.

>>18077442
I don’t think you should have an issue with anything like the 31xx or 30xx the jewelry district parts vender had room size safes full of old Rolex parts. Anything older you might have to go with aftermarket. I don’t even think Rolex themselves can fix older movements.

>>18077468
The 32xx movement or the current gen Rolex tend to be jews. And taking your watches to shady jewelers might result in your parts getting switched out.

I won’t be doing regular intervals on my 3235 DJ41 anyways, the AD said just wear it until it stops. In most cases you stop before the watch.

>>18077502

lmfao kek

>>18077498
>Switched out with what? Aftermarket chinkshit?

Either that, or a used part from a different watch.
A movement part like a bridge is unlikely to be swapped out, but parts that were (and still are) common will be.

Back when Rolex let anyone work on their watches, companies would come up with crystals, crowns, hands, bracelet parts, and other stuff that fit a Rolex but was not made by them. Like, the crown didn't have the Rolex Coronet on it so it's not illegal, but it still fit perfectly. If you have an old Datejust or something, finding aftermarket parts that fit it is very easy. Many used versions even have some of those parts.

A reputable watchmaker would ask,
>the crystal needs to be replaced, I can replace it with a geniuine Rolex part for 100 bucks, or I can use an aftermarket part for 20 bucks. The quality is the same, one just comes from Rolex.

That's even assuming that you could trust your watchmaker to not pocket the difference and swap it with the cheap one anyway.

>>18077502
Okay... :(

>>18077425
>Take the strap pill, it's comfy.
This. A bracelet can never mold to your wrist the way leather can.

The Big Block chrono might be coming back, since they did a solid gold one for Only Watch just a little bit ago.
BB54 with a blue dial seems like a no-brainer.

I imagine at least something will come way out of left field, like maybe a resurrection of the North Flag or an in-house movement for the Royal?

Nice. I had a SUB 1200T from 2016 for a little bit. (It was like a modernized SUB 300 before they decided to just reissue the 300 and 300T.)
It was a really great watch. Very legible with nuclear lume. Very accurate despite having a rather pedestrian ETA 2824-2.

I shouldn't have gotten rid of it, but I didn't find too many occasions where a bright orange watch was appropriate to merit owning one.
It was made under the previous brand management, though. I'm not sure of all the details since Doxa has more drama than a high school lunch room.

Like >>18077615 said, there's been some troubling developments with the QC and customer service. Not the Chinese parts thing, because that's been the case for a long time. (Assembled in Switzerland out of parts made in China.)
But when I read about bad lume, that's just intolerable for a dive watch.

Sure, but that's been the case for Doxa since the early 80s. It was just one bankruptcy after another.

If you know and accept what it is, then it's fine. If you're thinking you're getting something all in Switzerland by a company with 100+ years of heritage, then I guess never google "Doxa history".

If it looks cool and works as the specs advertise, then I can live with it. After all, there's nothing else out there that looks like it. (Apart from obvious ripoffs.)
It's one of those unique designs from the 60s heyday of dive watches where companies experimented with all sorts of designs before the industry ultimately settled on a combination of Submariner/Fifty Fathoms.

It just feels wrong without the fluted bezel.

>>18077649
It's unexpected, certainly but it's not like it's bad looking, just...odd.
Personally, I'm pretty conventional in preferring Smooth+Oyster and Fluted+Jubilee.

Like some other anon said, though, Datejusts are not hard to source, so it makes sense to hold out for exactly the one you want.

>>18077649
I agree but there have been Datejust in the past with a smooth bezel.
My main problem with the nu-Datejust are those DISGUSTING POLISHED LUGS. I hate these. Unironically ruins the watch for me. BRING BACK BRUSHED LUGS ROLEX REEEEEEEEEE

No Date > Dogshit > 6 o'clock > 12 o'clock date > 3 o'clock date > Pigshit >4:30 date

>>18077655

>>18077655
Also they should bring back the engine-turned and Turn-o-graph bezels

>>18077655

Informal timing functionality.

If you don't want to have a chronograph but you still like to occasionally time things. In the same way you can time something with a diving bezel but don't have to deal with the loud ratcheting and unidirectional rotating. You can do it much more discreetly.

Rolex should bring back the King Midas.

>>18077693

Rolex should bring back the Triple Calendar Moonphase.

But I guess in your head canon you are winning, right? Now go back to your basement.

>>18077769
The ideal bracelet game has already been solved by every other company - just use 2 or maybe 3 decent bracelets on everything. But Seiko likes to make every single watch with totally different lugs and lug widths so that they have to make 20 different shitty bracelets.

>>18077770

No, the Oysterflex is based.
What they should do is make it something that comes with a watch so you can easily swap back and forth, not make it something you're stuck with.

>>18077799
You thick about dicks an awful lot. That's kinda weird.

>>18077796
Tapestry isn't guilloché though, different tools are used for both.
I like guilloché better. When it's crisp, it elevates a dial like nothing else imo

You're right. I've heard it referred to by both which is wrong.

>>tonneau case shape makes it wear like a 40mm
The opposite. Tonneau shape cases have more surface than round case shapes, so they wear larger.
Also that Overseas is 42mm in diameter and 51mm lug to lug. Compare it with a Speedmaster, which is also 42mm in diameter but 47mm lug to lug, and that will give an idea of how large that Overseas actually.

>>18077859

You're welcome to hide my pictures if you are unable to appreciate the beauty of a Citizen timepiece.

>>18077862

fuck you, you nigger

>>18077863
You are clearly having an emotional response to my watch for some reason.
I suggest you take a step back and calm yourself, keep the discussion civil. I am sure you can afford one yourself if you set your mind to it.

>>18077379
The ones I was thinking of were the ones that weren't worn as much (1861 Speedy, and maybe one of the Seamasters), but a month or so, all of that changed due to circumstances that encouraged/required me to wear them more. So, the 1861 is in regular rotation now during recreation, as are the two Seamasters. It's funny how life works out.

>>18077501
Good to see you, CredorChad! Love those street racers; we'd never see that stuff where I live.

>>18077543
For me, a 4:30 date window looks odd because if I'm wearing a single watch, it'll be on my right hand, so reading the date is sideways. If they did a left-hand 7:30 date, then it would be fine.

>>18077554
I agree with >>18077573 on this one: definitely one of the Citizen models with the 0100 movement in them. Mine has been discontinued, but they've put the movement into less expensive but still beautiful watches. The only thing I don't know about them is what happens when we need servicing...I'm a little concerned about that.

>>18077777
Gorgeous twin-turbo...they didn't make many of those.

>>18077787

>>18077869
Not a car guy, but I know my Deloreans.
>current ride?
Depends on what is sent for me.

What watch are you sporting today, Fren?

>>18077866
Based. Do you still dual-wield speedmasters?

>>18077876
>but I know my Deloreans.
Then you should know that the company went under before any turbocharged cars went into production.

Fucking larper.
Probably drives a Prius.

>>18077887
brutal takedown

>>18077886
For work, of course. It was the other recreational watches that fell out of use but are now being used almost daily again. I love the finishing on your Citizen...they are always clean and sharp in the upper ranges.

>>18077887
AKCHUALLY, they made 1 known prototype during the original production days, but several more have appeared (including barn finds) over the decades well after the company went under and the parts+tooling bought and transferred. Given that modern running Deloreans have been serviced, modified, etc., it wouldn't be a surprise to see another one, as it does fit the normal description (i.e. left-hand drive). What would be interesting is whether or not the engine is in fact the twin-turbo original type, or if they have modified it further (i.e. electric engines, or a whole different system that simply requires extra air). Most Deloreans today are 'franken'...a sad state, but what can you do with a car that is now over 40 years old. I've had the pleasure of briefly driving 2 twin-turbos in my life-time...lovely creatures.

>>18077893
Anyone can make inaccurate and ill-informed accusations...that's a tactic of someone still holding an empty sack. What are you wearing today Fren?

>>18077866
>For me, a 4:30 date window looks odd because if I'm wearing a single watch, it'll be on my right hand, so reading the date is sideways. If they did a left-hand 7:30 date, then it would be fine.

But isn't that because they include the tapering lugs in the measurement, which are huge given they reach into the bracelet?

>>18077900
No, they made four prototypes, two single-turbo, two twin-turbo. They were tested and later destroyed. When DMC went bankrupt, their turbo supplier died with them.
Any turbo DMC-12 is just a bodge job.

Why bother calling yourself an expert when you can be so easily proven wrong?

>>18077838
We were discussing the Gen 1 vs Gen 2. The Gen 3 is a considerably more expensive piece so you would expect a higher used price. But they are not as far apart as you might think. The normal color dials go for about 5k more than the Gen 2.

One more thing to remember is the Gen 2 has doubled in value from its retail price, while the Gen 3 is sold below its retail price today. So what does the market say about that?

>>18077916
>>18077907
Absolute /o/bliteration

>>18077900
Thanks, fren. I love your 0100. How's it running?

>>18077918
The Gen 2 is still considered less valuable. The market has changed heavily from when the Gen 2 was in production.

>>18077933
>The Gen 2 is still considered less valuable.
Yes, in absolute money, but a watch that doubles in value in ~5 years is obviously worth collecting and has huge potential.

Genuine question, how much potential do you think the Gen 3 has? I think none. Why? Because it's already fucking expensive.

I'm afraid your information is inaccurate. The original twin-turbo that made it through production and testing still exists...that's one of the ones I've driven (#502); they weren't 'destroyed'. DMC had extra parts for the turbo as well before they went under, which is why others began to surface after the company went under as they were constructed by enthusiasts. Much has happened since then, of course, but Delorean history gets murky as time goes by. Have you driven a normal Delorean before Anon?
