/fa/ - Fashion

I noticed that you all hate quartz watches. What about electric cars?

I had sex with a black woman last night (twice).

>>18105059
What watch did you wear to set the trap?

>>18105061
My good old Explorer. Appropriate watch if you ask me, I felt like a 1800s frenchman exploring west Africa.
It's not the first time I'm seeing her. She's small, tight and has feline-like facial features.

>>18105066

does anyone actually like these?

Good afternoon Gents

Nice view.

>>18105066
I am married to an African woman, but I only did the traditional wedding in Africa, so that I cannot be stripped of half my property.

I have only one regret: not marrying a younger one. Having buyers remorse to be frank with you

>>18105081
I don't like the look of it very much.

Good morning gentlemen

>>18105084

I like electric watches

>>18105101

Geoguesser chads, where is this guy?

The absolute state of the Swiss watchmaking industry-
>entire claim to relevance comes from producing technology that’s been obsolete for half a century and charging people out their ears for it because ‘muh heritage’ (ignore that 90% of them are owned by the same 2~3 multinationals)
>even then still outdone by Japs at producing said obsolete technology (GS is accurate to +/- 1 second per day)
When will Swisstrannies finally rope?

>>18105117
You're forgetting the best part
>the oldest brands that use their age as a proof of prestige all made cheap copies of french and british movements, if not counterfeits and got their start that way

>>18105118
This is the best part imo.

PREFACE: This poem, is a dream of a universe. A universe where only Jaeger-Lecoutre, Rolex, Patek, Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, and IWC exist. A holy realm, consisting only of the SACRED SIX.

THE SACRED SIX is a communion of the finest, best watches for all humankind. No lesser beings can acquire, or even dream of obtaining such watches. Watches like Seiko, Casio, Timex, and Orient are a completely foreign concept to THE SACRED SIX, and are heretical watches. The SACRED SIX will purge such disgusting heretical watches from the universe, and bring about a better time.

Walk with me, let's try to imagine a better world, a better life, with the SACRED SIX.

Begin Poetry:

In the realm where time is king, behold the Sacred Six,

Masters of horology, their craftsmanship we fix.

Jaeger Lecoutre, with precision, ticks each fleeting hour,

In its intricate dance, a testament to power.

Rolex, a legend, on adventurous wrists it gleams,

Through tempests and triumphs, it fulfills dreams.

Patek Philippe, a tale of heritage and grace,

A legacy of elegance, in every watch face.

Vacheron Constantin, whispers of refined taste,

Centuries of excellence, never to be displaced.

Breguet, with innovation, its legacy unfurls,

In each tick, echoes the genius of its pearls.

IWC, with engineering prowess, takes its stand,

Crafting timepieces that echo across the land.

The Sacred Six, guardians of time's fleeting flight,

In each intricate tick, they weave pure delight.

In their hands, time becomes a cherished art,

Boundless tales woven in each beating heart.

The Sacred Six, immortal in their horologic dance,

A symphony of time, in eternal romance.

I cheated a bit by knowing the city beforehand, it was easy from then on. Personally i don't think it should be revealed exactly where he is, just tell enough for those who know. It borders on doxxing, but no harm was done in this case since he's not staying there. I wouldn't try to do this for his hotel room for example.

>>18105140
The fuck are you smoking.
That's like saying you're doxxing someone when you point out they're posting from the Eiffel tower.

>>18105144
Looks cool but man, at least they could have picked up a perfect example (or touched it up) for the official photo.

>>18105155
This looks nice, i like the case shape. Maybe it could have been a bit smaller.

>>18105162
If it was 38mm it could have been the goat.

Any anti-dermatologist tricks to keep the watch ticking without having to put it on every other day?

>>18105186
Anti-what now?

>>18105117
Which came first? Which one is the cope?

>>18105186
Yes.
Get a quartz.
Simple as.

>>18105198

>>18105186
There are devices for this purpose.

It somehow blows my mind that the mechanical watch industry has tricked millions of people into selling out thousands on an inaccurate piece of obsolete technology

>>18105212
Mechanicals are fun an all, but mostly as a gimmick nowadays.
What baffles me is how they managed to convince people to think mechanical watches "have soul" and are "better" than quartz.

>>18105212
They only make sense in the high-end category. They are luxury items and jewelry (literally made of gold or platinum for example). Cheap mechanical watches make no sense.

>>18105216
>>18105217
I nearly fell for it, but in the end I cannot get myself to spend thousands on something less accurate than a department store watch.

Nevertheless, maybe I want to replace my armani watch with a nice quartz. Any recommendations? I want it to look classy and not bloated. And I want it to be highly accurate. Preferably day date and not too large since my wrists are 7"

>>18105212
My friends electric car is great and all, but I love my old rattly shitbox and will keep driving it. If I ever go work somewhere where I get an ev I'll be happy as well, of course.

>>18105220
the 262khz bulovas are pretty dang accurate but no day dates afaik

>>18105212
> obsolete technology
You could say conventional battery powered quartz has been superseded by solar powered quartz with radio synchronization but somehow conventional ones are still the more popular product I believe

>>18105212
What blows my mind is most of the same companies also sell quartz watches for thousands of dollars, and people apparently pay it when they could find the same thing for a couple hundred dollars at Macy's.

>>18105220
>I want it to look classy and not bloated
>highly accurate

There is only one: Grand Seiko 9F83/86.

>>18105230
Very nice. This is the style that I can appreciate

>>18105242
In that scenario a mechanical watch is probably the best. Impervious to EMP

>>18105256
a-anata mo

>>18105226
>solar powered quartz
How long can you use this until you need to replace the entire watch?

>>18105263
So this is why people are investing in Raketa watches.

>>18105229
So in the end I did make the rational decision to just take a department store watch made in china with badge whore label slapped on

>>18105269
I think the weakest link is the rechargeable battery. You’ll have to replace it eventually, not the whole watch

>>18105276
Normal quartz battery lasts like 2 years and is cheap. I see no added value in solar. If you are afraid it will die on the road just replace every year

I am a big Kamen Rider fan and I wear a Henshin belt daily. What watches would go well with one of these belts?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vdNJXezeGM

>>18105279
Sure. I think a solar watch can last decades without a battery replacement in the best case. I have a citizen that’s almost twenty years old and it still works, nothing has been replaced

>>18105220
>>18105225
They have that sexy sweep going on too.

>>18105212
I got myself covered.

>>18105284
Boluva it sounds too much like bulgaria. Do not want

>>18105288
Baseddo.

>>18105288
The name citizen sounds kind of cucked. Who comes up with shit like this

>>18105296
It's for everyone who's not an illegal alien.
Clearly not for you.

>>18105291
Bulgari™ sounds like Bulgaria. Bulova is closer to butt lova'.

>>18105296
Well, I'm doing my part.

>>18105280
Any watch like this but with a steel bracelet, more angular case, simple baton indecies with dauphine hands, a date window and a black/siler sunburst dial? Preferably with a quartz movement.

>>18105304
A-are you a literal cuck?

>>18105302
Wtf I thought only Grand Seiko did zaratsu!

>>18105296
Unremarkable watch for the masses so the name is on point if you think about it that way

Mind blown that there are these mechanicals so cheap. What is the catch? Shit accuracy?

>>18105308
This is why the brand image doesnt appeal to me

>>18105313
Get yourself an Alpha.

>>18105311
According to google accuracy of -35 to +45 seconds per day

That is dog shit, but if you think about it, in practical terms it is not worse that a rolex. Since both require daily correction

>>18105306
>Citizen
>"I'm doing my part."
I'll give you a minute.
>>18105306
>Wtf I thought only Grand Seiko did zaratsu!
Snivelry!

>>18105318
Ah fuck, Starship troopers!

>>18105311
>What is the catch? Shit accuracy?
Pretty much. Seiko doesn't regulate their shit.

This watch is only off like 5 seconds a month, seems that way. Of maybe I am delusional

>>18105321
Good lad.

>>18105326
Nice Code 11.59 bro.

>>18105324
In that case better get quartz. I can see the appeal of mechanical, but not at the expense of accuracy

>>18105326
I'd buy this if the eagle had a swastica under it.

>>18105329
Yeah, but those dials are too sexy to pass up. Plus, you can try to regulate them yourself. It's a risky endeavor, but it can pay off.

>>18105272
If you're going to wear a Chinese shitter at least be honest about it. At least if you are honest about it people respect that you're just saving a buck and not that concerned about the watch you wear or what people think about it. Buying the same watch and trying to pretend it's a rolex is just pathetic cope.

>>18105335
I think the appeal of mechanical is 2 things
1. Cool smooth second pointer, but then retards like nomos make only miniaturized second pointer

2. The idea of some sophistocated crafty machine, bespoke and custom made by swiss mountain dwarves in mordor

going to spend a few grand on my first big boy watch. rolex and omega seem like the obvious choices, but i really like the look of this one. are these in the same ballpark, quality wise?

>>18105336
I dont understand at all. Arent all quartz watches made in the same chinese factories?

>>18105048
Hello my fellow horology enjoyers, from the most accurate watch possible.

Is it true that boluva precisionist is the most accurate watch in the world? Radio corrected watches dont count unless it is aligned with radio each second

>>18105344
Sorta.
The point of Panerai is that the construction is very simple, almost minimal, so it can be very rugged. You don't get the fancy fluted bezel or stuff like that, but they do feel hefty and solid.
Do not buy them at retail price though.

>>18105136

He has all of these things going for him. Based archie

>>18105344
Cringe shitter. The chinese reps are identical down to the movement for these because they are made so poorly. Lmao
>>18105317
So is your benchmark less than one second per day off? You'll need to get a quartz for that feller

>>18105372
>So is your benchmark less than one second per day off? You'll need to get a quartz for that feller


Yes, indeed. My ideal watch must be

>>18105380

>>18105383
No need to be rude just because you can't afford it.

>>18105393
didn't check the price since it looks like shit

>>18105311
I'm more impressed that Chink mechanical watches with Seiko NH35 movt are priced around $50 equiv. or even less after discount.

Are NATO straps actually bad or are they ruined by guys who collect them so they can swap them out every day?

>>18105291

>>18105311
>cheap
it's 100 euro in parts if u do it urself

>>18105317
that's not real life accuracy which is close to 2spd for press ass

What is a good amount of watches to have? I personally think 3 is probably enough to switch out between different outfits.

>>18105406
As many as you can accumulate.

>>18105406
>What is a good amount of watches to have? I personally think 3 is probably enough to switch out between different outfits.

Three is usually what a lot of people settle on in terms of an ideal number:
- a really casual watch like a big diver on a rubber strap
- a dressy watch, thin and gold on a gator strap
- something in between on a bracelet for daily wear

>>18105402
nato straps aren't bad, it's just that there are a lot of people who put straps that don't look good or don't pair well with the watch.
the good thing with changing straps from time to time is that it gives the watch a fresh look, so there's no need to buy another watch in search of variety.

>>18105409
Got any good specific suggestions for those three? I have a budget of about 600 per watch

>>18105406
there's no definite number desu, from 0 to hero. many are satisfied without a watch, just a phone and sometimes with an additional bracelet will do.

>The Citizen Caliber 0100 high-end quartz watch is accurate to within one second per year, and costs over $7,000.

if this is true, then it must be the most accurate watch in the world, and more accurate than the clock on your phone or computer

would buy, honestly, it's kinda out of my budget but the thought of this level of accuracy really triggers me

>>18105305
something seiko presage?

>>18105431
It's +-1 second per year and it is more accurate than the clock in your phone. Your phone gets synced to atomic time several times per day so it will never be off.

>>18105443
my phone is off very often, I keep checking it just for mentally gymnasticsing telling myself that there is indeed a valid use case for a 7000 euro+ watch (not serious, but not joking)

>>18105376
>look classy and minimalist
>have day and date function

>>18105443
>>18105451
just checked my computer

>Your clock is 1.9 seconds ahead.

see, I wouldn't be having this problem if I had a watch that was right 1 seconds a year, in fact, I think there is a case to be made that it is a tax deductible business expense for that reason, you think the fiscal auditor would agree to that?

>>18105443
is this citizen watch in a league of its own, or are there other watches with 1 second a year accuracy? and has the claim been put to the test?

pretty sure Citizen Caliber 0100 is a limited edition watch that you can't buy new anymore, and I would never buy a used watch. it's over...

>>18105467
It is the only one that is rated for that accuracy. Others may hit it too(Normal distribution & luck). I am not aware of any third party tests on the movement.

>>18105475
I wonder if after 1 year purchase it turns out to be 2 seconds off, if you can get your money back or a replacement for the faulty watch

>>18105274
Did you mail order it to your house, or are you waiting for it to come into a dealer or something? I have to say, I don't really like bauhaus generally but every time I see a Max Bill in any configuration I humor the idea of wearing one.

>>18105476
They'll just adjust it to run within spec.

>>18105480
https://www.citizenwatch.com/us/en/product/AQ6021-51E.html

reading the reviews here (kinda pointless since the watch seems unavailable, but hey)
>I have had this watch since day #1 (ordered on 10/03/2019). In 2 years it lost a total of appr. 3 seconds (1 sec in year #1 and 2 secs in year #2).

>>18105482
>2 secs in year #2
The the fucking bin it goes. Literally e-waste.

>>18105431
>and costs over $7,000
There are offers on chrono24 for pic, and the blue and white dial counterparts. They range between 4100 and 4600(+tax), new.

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

>>18105486
How is that possible actually? Seems suspect.. What are these market mechanisms that cause that to happen? You sure they aren't fakes?

>>18105487
theoretically, as a guy on the sidelines, it seems like it would be quite satisfying to have bought a watch that can stand up to the rational criticism of watches being obsolete and "your phone is more accurate anyway"

must feel good to be able to rebuke that typical argument of anti watch people

>>18105490
Japs being based, unlike their economy

>>18105487
are you sure it is not a fake? it doesn't look the same as the one on the official website

>>18105493
Positive

>>18105493
Oh fuck, what do I do now?

>>18105491
I don't partake in such arguments, but it is nice to have a watch that is more or less bang on all the time.

>>18105484
>The the fucking bin it goes. Literally e-waste.
forreal, why even wear a watch if it is not going to tell time accurately, just have a small screen on your wrist that is constantly showing time.is website but you might get wrist cancer from constant mobile internet radiation

>>18105495
>more or less
more or less is unacceptable for a device whose only purpose is to tell the time and costs thousands of dollars

>>18105487
Giving the gs some much deserved wrist time.

>>18105495
>Oh fuck, what do I do now?
sell it to the next imbecile who thinks it is real

>>18105500
I think you got your replies mixed up.

>>18105501
That's nice. You had a 9F too right?

>>18105500
By more or less I mean it's maybe 0.15 fast currently when I set in January. That's acceptable for me.

I am searching for Citizen Caliber 0100 but I cant find it anywhere, also on chronos24 I searched but there is nothing

>>18105478

that indeed seems acceptable, can you imagine shelling out over 10k for a watch that is off 2 seconds a day? this is what people are doing to themselves

>>18105490
Why would you expect a watch from a quartz mall shitter brand to hold value? That's the real question.

>>18105509
but it's used, I don't want it, it is bad enough my wife used to bang nigger cocks before I married her, at least my watch should be clean

>>18105510
Different priorities, watches aren't about the best possible timekeeping in the luxury categories.

>>18105528
Dumb because it's obviously not true? All of the highest end brands sell their watches on spending many hours double and triple chronometer certifying their watches.

>>18105531
I see, thanks for that. Is the titanium one the least easy to scratch?

>>18105537
They should be. From what I've read, they're also harder to polish.

>>18105537
Grade 2 titanium is very easily scratched. Usually they put coatings on them to try to mitigate scratching.

Grade 5 titanium is much better, but not many brands use it.

>>18105520
Based.
It's a mechanical watch and it's running close to HAQ spec.

what about boluva precisionist vs citizen 0100 accuracy? boluva has cooler sweeping second hand. but maybe it is otherwise shit

>>18105551
The Bolivar is specced at +-10 spy iirc.

>>18105048

>>18105528

>>18105508
I feel like I like the Maxi Bill more on photos than when I tried it on IRL. maybe it feels a bit too flimsy because the case is so minimal

>>18105536
Ok. For a second I taught this place was filled with ignorants and retards.

>>18105081
It looks horrible. Keep in mind the history of the Casioak:
>"To be honest, I'm relieved the watch is selling well," he says. "Our approach for the GA-2100 was completely different from the conventional G-Shock models, and initially, we were met with a strong resistance internally, and some still say 'I don't know why it became such a big hit' to this day. I think the watch got the attention for the right reasons, but I do confess the budgeting for this project wasn't the easiest thing ever, and I must thank Amikura for delivering the solid design."
One guy wanted it, and the rest of the company hated it and thought it would fail. But it became one of their best sellers.
Casio wouldn't know a good design if it hit them in the head. They got lucky with the GA2100.

>>18105593
I do like the 2100 but I'm not fat enough to rock one

>>18105593
Why were they so hesitant about it? It's not any weirder or uglier than any of their other watches.

>>18105501
Nice

>>18105311
Mine is +18 spd.

>>18105625
Nice bait nigger, kys.

>>18105626
Absolutely
Milgauss doesn't have edges and angles

>>18105629
Are you sure you're not the one with face blindness? You're really trying to tell me you don't see the similarities between two steel watches with the same diameter with big lumed indexes and color matched seconds hand and minute numerals?

>>18105639
GS case is incredibly distinct and unique. I really like the white dial one, btw
The milgus is an incredibly generic big thicc OP with a satanic seconds hand and quirky colored crystal

>>18105639
I mean, they both tell time.

>>18105644
Next you're going to tell me all of the watches in the Richemont meme are distinct.

Just saw the this Stowa Flieger, it's 36mm and I love the finishing on the manual wound model. First time I've really liked a flieger model. Price is around €1.250.

>>18105652
I'll tell you the 1908 is a ripoff JLC

>>18105560
Don't worry...mine beat out my 0100 over a year. I love all of my watches, but nothing beats holding 'the real time' in your hands.

I'm interested in electronic mechanisms before the usage of quartz, so any technology (electromechanical or only electronics) used in watches before that. Can anyone give me a list or some links where I can learn more

Just because....

>>18105660
What kinds of conditions did you use for that watch?
Did you keep it in one position, wound it up regularly or did you alter that based on how it was running?

>>18105669
You could ask about dst

>>18105657
A ripoff of which model?

>>18105674
It's a master control with a tarted up guilloche dial. It's clear where they stole that design language. Rolex has one watch in various sizes with various bezels for their sports watch collection.

>>18105679
It's a calatrava actually.

>>18105682
The numerals bro

>Rolex ripping off other designs.
Nothing new here.

>>18105679
Nope, they have a different case, different bezel, different hands, 1908 is thicker... Jesus, are you stupid or something? They're nothing alike.

>>18105684
Blancpain came after
Sorry bro
>>18105685
They are very much alike

>>18105669
I altered the positions purposefully and measurably; some days it would be upright (crown up), some days dial up, all through the positions. It was always wound at the 24hour mark, so essentially it was 'full wind' for the entirety of the year.

I wasn't doing the thing I do with my other mechanicals where dial up will go faster, crown up slower, crown down slowest; it was just 'what day are we' and then check the rubric and follow through. I was genuinely curious, given that it performed flawlessly for a week when I got it back from servicing, so I wanted to see how to get it to go wrong. I already knew that past 24 hours power reserve it starts to get slightly slow, and given that deck clocks are always at least within the 24 hours, I thought I should run mine like that too.

Amazing pocket watch. You know the only downside? It won't be like this forever. Eventually it'll start running slightly slower, and positional variances will increase, and then it won't be as accurate. But for that year...it was a champ.

I'm convinced that with an excellent movement and an excellent watchmaker, almost any mechanical watch should be able to run very close to 0. Most people don't have a trusty watchmaker at hand, nor do most people want to void the warranty by having someone other than the brand open it up. This Zenith ran perfect, but was serviced by Zenith with no one else touching it. Bless those people in Schweiz....

>>18105687
It doesn't even have a date, you faceblind retard.

>>18105689
They even stole the hands from someone else
I actually like it
But we need to be completely honest with ourselves here

>>18105691
I notice you're happy to dish out pedantry but you're hesitant to accept it. INTERESTING.

>>18105607

It's a shame Seiko puts some much text on the dial nowadays. Older Seikos have much cleaner dials. Those '5', presage and prospec logos were a huge mistake.

>>18105688
>It won't be like this forever. Eventually it'll start running slightly slower, and positional variances will increase, and then it won't be as accurate.
An unavoidable reality with mechanical watches. Given it was already in a used and slightly worn condition the watchmaker who regulated it was very skilled in his craft.

>>18105694
There is actually merit to my pedantry. For instance, the JLC Polaris lifted the numerals straight off an explorer. I still like the watch very much, and I'm being honest with myself.

>>18105048
Fuck now i want a gold moonphase dresswatch. /wt/ bros whats the best moonphase dress watch/brand from these JLC, IWC, Breguet, or Blancpain. I kinda dont like the german designs but IWC sort of looks okay?

I see you appreciate high end quartz, what are your thoughts on Grand Seiko 9f and spring drive?

>>18105660
Do you wear this in public? Do people have negative reactions to it?

>>18105688
Based Omega Chad. How's the 0100 running currently?

>>18105706
ALS sounds like a disease.

>>18105696
I think so, but also the movement was designed to be the best ever constructed in its class. To this day, the 5011k is respected for its capabilities, and is considered to be the best pocket watch movement for performance designed and constructed prior to the quartz crisis. I wanted one for the same reason I wanted the 0100; get the most accurate one in terms of fundamental design ever made. Sure, there will always be individual watches and pocket watches that will out-perform them in a 1:1 test (i.e. over a 5-years span, for instance), but to have a mass manufactured movement designed for this kind of thing is, in my mind, a beautiful element to horology.

I almost went down the road of observatory chronometers, but ultimately they are very rare and very costly if you want ones in great condition. Besides, I normally wear chronographs, so having them in wristwatch form is somewhat useless in my existence. But they're still cool.

What are you wearing today, Fren?

>>18105715
Grand Seiko 9f is cool, but I've never owned one. I only have one HAQ, and the purpose was to get the very best of the time. Spring drive is also cool; the smoothness of the second-hand is so smooth. Given that GS designs don't appeal to me en masse, I think of it as a best-case scenario if one finds them appealing. GS dials and finishing are off-the-chart for watches of their pricepoint however; occasionally, you'll walk into a boutique selling GS alongside Breitling, for instance, and the difference is stark.

>>18105717
Yes. No. I wear it with my 3-piece suits, so it's not something I just pull out at the movie theater or carnival. When I'm dressed that way, I'm surrounded by other people who dress the same, and as I mentioned in another previous post, one of my colleagues who sits next to me now sports a Patek minute-repeater pocket watch. So, we have fun.

>>18105720
Great to see you Citizenchad! 0100 was out today, and running excellently as always. You?

>>18105721
An attractive disease

>>18105727
I don't know if I can explain exactly why, but a really highly finished high end watch on an exotic leather strap has never looked right to me. The hide looks so ragged and primal next to a sophisticated device. You have this hand made machine that you decide to hang from your body by a piece of animal. Just seems weird.

>>18105151

>>18105724
My A060 is running really, a hair fast right now like I said in a previous post. It's been just a few months though.
When was the last time you set yours and is it within spec?

For the anon who wanted a new 0100 (1spy) you can find new-old-stock available, but there's also citizen chronomasters or if you prefer women , 9F grand seikos which are 5 or 10 sec per year accurate and GS finishing and quality walks all over shitizen.

>>18105745

>>18105597
on the contary, it was not weird or ugly enough. the boomers in charge thought that everbody still wanted big, chunky watches with a lot of useless functions and that no ghsock fans would be interested in something more pared down. stuck in the 2000s basically.

Critically based.

What kind of watch boxes do you anons all use?

I have a cheap shitty one from Amazon and I wanna get something nicer that also has some spots for storing stuff like tie clips, cufflinks, etc.

What brands are gud? Where should I be looking?

I don't need a luxury box but I want it to at least be made of actual wood instead of pleather wrapped paperboard.

>>18105778
i got a pelican ripoff on aliexpress. 15 slots for around $50 cad so like $35 real money. cant complain. not rlly what your looking for though

>>18105779
Not entirely opposed to even a genuine pelican. Cool idea I didn't realize even existed. I kinda want something more for the nightstand with a glass panel on top or something to display like, my favorite handful, while I can keep some of my shitters in lower drawers and maybe some other smaller accessories like the aforementioned cufflinks, etc.

>>18105654
>You're smart to have done only the ceremonial wedding.
Yeah, thanks. It was a no brainer to me, having witnessed my parents divorce as 13 year old I knew what was up before having kissed a girl. My dad got shafted. Never liked him anyway. Stupid fucking family all of them

>>18105665
Did the super titaniumTM really prevent scratching. I see some spots or is it dirt?

>>18105819
No and no. Sorry, Matt, ya lost this one, breh.

>9F grand seikos which are 5 or 10 sec per year accurate

That is terrible in comparison to 1 second. What about the price difference? Quartz?

>>18105831
How accurate does a watch really need to be?

>>18105818
>Did the super titaniumTM really prevent scratching
Nothing prevents scratches. The coatings can turn big scratches into small scratches. The simple fact is that you have to accept that if you have a titanium watch, you have a watch made of a light, soft material.

If you want something hard and scratch resistant, you have to choose ceramic, but that will chip and shatter if you bump it.

>>18105831
if 5/10 SPY is terrible in comparison to 1 SPY , what is it in comparison to 30 seconds a day?

Also 9F's are like 2k a piece and have complications like GMT and date.

And yes, to achieve this kind of accuracy requires thermocompensated quartz.

Also the citizen chronometers look like knockoff GS.

>>18105831
lmao blud really went from tolerating 10sec a day to calling 10SPY terrible

>>18105838
And the GS is a DJ knockoff, what's your point?

>>18105838
Ok im open to suggestion, I am also looking at Longines VHP. Pretty ugly tho so I dont think so buddy

>>18105839
Yeah I am really fixated now that I know 1spy is possible

>>18105831
You're just flexing your epeen at that point. Those citizen watches are an acquired taste. Why sacrifice aesthetics for a few seconds a year.

>>18105841
Is is cheap tho. May need to reconsider my position

they didnt seem super reliable when i was looking into them. probably still more reliable than mechanical but issues didnt seem uncommon. seiko DOLCE is the king for quartz value if you can rock a 33.5mm dress watch lol

I tend to set mine once a year, using the independent hour hand setting for DST. Glad to hear yours is running well; mine runs very predictably, losing a little bit under a second per year. That's how the Zenith beat it.

>>18105818
I haven't had any yet, though I am not known for scratching my watches. A YouTuber (the bald guy) did a test on these and found that it does scratch, at a far lower hardness than he had hoped. The spots you see are dust, not indents; it's tough to keep any of my watches super-clean, and the cameras pick up everything. On almost all of my pics, you'll see dust of some kind...such is life. It's worse in the summer when the windows are open all the time.

>>18105834
For me, within 1 second per day. Anything else is uncivilized.

>>18105836
>chip and shatter if you bump it.
No, only if you drop it onto a hard surface at the wrong angle. Daily wear, and the watch will continue to look brand new if it's modern ceramic (i.e. Grey Side of the Moon Speedmaster, for instance).

>>18105845
Definitely an acquired taste, but it is not a sacrifice in aesthetics. The 0100 was designed beautifully if you break down the elements and how they're all connected to the AT crystal. It's remarkable, actually.

>>18105884
Congrats! New Hesalite with the Sapphire bracelet? It'll look great! Wear it in good health!

...and the GMW-B5000, and the MRG, and the Frogman, and the DW-5000, all of which faced challenges and resistance before they became top sellers. The original G-Shock was even a failure when it released in Japan until the US made it popular. Casio gets lucky repeatedly, it's almost like it's not luck at all.
