Second hand one?

>>7238409
You can easily find a nice second-hand Omega for <200 dollars

/r/ing info on a watch ive seen posted a few times. Swiss made I think, white face, extremely minimal, date is in a square or circular box, hands and hour notches are quite chunky if I remember, and the second hand is red. Any ideas?

>>7238653
oooh very nice.

>>7239085
Mondaine?

They're modeled after the railway station clocks in switzerland.

>>7239111

Dayum, that's almost exactly what I was looking for though im sure there's one with a date. I'll take a look through their range, thanks bro.

Is this /fa/? Thinking of copping since the Weekender is fucking loud as shit and I can't find a good alternative with a white face.
The LL bean field watch.

:^)
thinking of copping a royal oak or nautilus next

>>7239258
Are you replying with that face just because the character is called DW, or are DW watches shit? Was thinking of getting one

>>7239204
Seconding this search. The only thing i've found is the jcrew/timex field watch, but it's still timex so it's probably still loud

>>7239280

I just got one, DW are nice watches

>>7238662
I bet this is exactly what clueless people would describe "classy"

Anyway, DW makes pretty crappy watches. They'd be OK if they cost 50$ max, but since they don't just stay away.

>>7239357

Enjoy your overpriced garbage.
There are probably Lego watches made with nicer parts.

>>7239446

Whatever, the watch is nice.

>>7239204
Don't get a fashion brand watch. Look at Seiko or Hamilton. Also this new Seagull.

>>7239534
>buying anything that says Chinese Military Watch

>>7239545
Just because it's Chinese doesn't mean it's shit.

>>7239446

Who cares if the watch has not the last graphic card on the inside if it's a nice accessory.

>>7239577
w2c?

is the weekender /fa/?

I really want a simple, CHEAP, watch that isn't super loud. Just kinda of an accessory. I was looking into this color because its very neutral.

>>7239618
if you want a watch that isn't loud do not get the Weekender.

>>7239587
the point is that it shouldn't have a graphics card at all
when you pay 150+ for watch you at least expect it to have a decent movement
the guy who makes DW is actually pretty clever, making money out of people who don't care about this sort of thing

>>7239618
>>7239625
he means visually loud. but yeah apparently the weekender has a loud tick
imo it also look and feels cheap, like a toy
you could do a lot worse for the price, though

>>7239618
If you don't mind the ticking and get a few NATO straps.

>>7239625
>>7239632
>>7239636
So is there one similar for maybe a little more that isn't as loud (both literally and figuratively) that is simple that would go well with basically all outfits

>>7239645
how much more are you thinking?

>>7239237

Skagenbro (my strap is too small, I know, it's only temporary)

>>7239657
maybe like $50-70

>>7239625
Get the SNK809, very similiar to the weekender

>>7239534
I actually really like that Sea-Gull. Where can I find one of those?

What strap should I get for my black poverty Seiko?

Copped off amazon a few days ago.

Considering I spent £6.50, how did I do?

>>7239684
Skagens are dogshit. You're better off getting a Timex; it'll last longer.

>>7239645
you should get a Rodina Small Seconds IMHO. They're automatic with a sapphire crystal which is super rare at their price point.

$120

>>7239645
Yes, Seiko SNK809.

>>7239921
it looks big as fuck

>>7239749
How's the movement in those? Very interested.

Daily beater

>>7239977
It's literally not. It's only 37mm.

just ordered this
any thoughts?
please be gentle

>>7239749
i like it, w2c?

>>7239977
Take a ruler, put it on your wrist, and imagine how a 38mm watch will look.

>>7239995
Stuhrling is pretty good quality. I'm impressed. I, myself, would have gone for a Daniel Wellington or an Invicta, but a Stuhrling would do.

Whatever you paid for the watch is worth every penny.

>>7240011

Do either of those have a white face though? I couldn't find a Seiko that did, and I can't make heads or tails of Seagulls website.

>>7239237
w2c too where do I buy this?

>>7240152
There's Khaki. Tons of less field watch-like white ones. You can always mod one as well.

Where do you guys like to buy your watches?
Do you go to a jewelry store or browse any specialty websites?

>>7240335
As a general rule, always buy online. Amazon is pretty safe, and check out sites like Jomashop and Creation Watches. Some sellers use eBay buy-it-now auctions too, so check those. It really depends on what you want. Anything luxury you should find an authorized dealer and buy it in person.

>>7239684
That is the first skagen I've seen that I actually like the look of.

>>7240259

>>7238349
Dat's not.

are nixon watches bad? im cheap and i dress pretty casual.

i like this one but the elasticized band really bothers me. any alternatives?

Are watches with brown leather straps and white faces good? I wear a black leather coat and like grey/khaki/navy pants

>>7240601
Nixon are pretty good watches. I would buy a Nixon if I had the money. That particular model is the Time Teller. With that watch you can tell the time unlike any other watch. This is the kind of watch that you want if you want to tell time. Get the Nixon Time Teller.

>fashion brands do not apply to watches, ever.

Calvin Klein for example is manufactured by Swatch, making if effectively same watch say Tissot in terms of is it fashion watch or not. But it's a good rule of thumb to avoid watched with fashion/fragrance designer name.

>>7239111
oh so it was on purpose, i was wondering

Am I /fa/ ??

>>7242744
No.

I wish Casio would make a non-Transformer style G-Shock. I would buy one if it had simple styling.

>>7242744
wind it back a little, the g shock is a great mountaineering watch and for the outdoors, the compass attachment is brilliant. If you get the GPS one, that shit can save your life.

Help me decide /fa/? I'm buying one in Jan-Feb when I get my bonuses.
Top row "classic" pieces are about 150€ more expensive, it doesn't matter that much in this range. I saw the "classic" with white dial at the local dealer, it was quite nice. Sportier models have the guards for the crown and pushers, which I would like, otherwise I prefer the classier versions. All of these have the same movement, column wheel chrono, Longines exclusive. I wonder if any of these would look good with a brown leather strap... Opinions, other brand/model suggestions in the ~2000€ price range and same style?

>>7243315
Don't think any of those would look good with leather.

>>7243333
That's what I was thinking too. Oh well, have to have something on the shopping list to piss off the gf again :D

>>7243377
what style are after?

>>7240619

I bought a Nixon once, it arrived broken. It could tell me the time, but the button to set time fell off. It was not an easy watch to set time with. If you want a great time setter, do not get Nixon. If all you want is a watch to tell you the time, get the Nixon Time Teller.

Can you fucking people not kid yourselves and the rest and stop posting watches that are over 1000 bucks, which none of us can afford?
Fucking hell.

IM TRYING TO FIND ENTRY PRICE SHIT.

>>7243585

1000 is pretty limiting as far as watches
and not everyone on here is a 21 year old working in starbucks, many of these are attainable to people and it's not uncommon for people to post their own Omega's Rolex's etc

tl;dr if you want a thread about sub$1000 watches, start one. Otherwise quit your bitching

Thanks a bunch, very nice watches. I especially like the Junghans, a real stunner, might have to get it (or something similar) as a dress watch at some point. B&M is also good looking, a little fuzzy tho, with the tachy markings.
What I'm interested in at this point is a watch to wear erryday at the offie (and occasionally in a more formal situation), so a steel bracelet is a must. Leather stinks up so fast, I can't stand it...
Also, "plain" is a good thing in my book, it won't be out of style or whatever even after decades, and it won't draw too much attention. I tend to like simple design, clean, hard lines, simple face (like my own) and good finish. That's what I like about the Longies, plus the interesting movement and the rich history of the brand. The one I saw at the dealer looked much better in real life tho than in the pictures. Any other suggestions?

>>7245158
I did, and still do consider getting a second hand Speedmaster, it's something that I've always wanted, but the ones in the used market here are usually quite banged up, so it'd get costly real fast. Complete service + polishing would add another 1000€ so it's not really worth it, I think... I even saw an old Tudor Monarch for about 1100€, wonder how much would it cost to get it working...

Well, have to keep looking.

>>7243585
If you have a steady job, no soul crushing debt, children or other such freeloaders in your life, you can easily afford $1000 watches. It's just a matter of prioritizing your income. Plus, a good watch will last you a lifetime, so divide that $1000 / 40 years of use, it's not that big of an investment.

Sorry about the rant

That is really purrdy. Too bad tho, I've been looking around, and found out there's no official Junghans dealers around where I live. Online shopping hasn't been much of a success either... Could you point out where I could get one, preferably in EU?

I found a Casio AMW-320D without the straps just lying around. Should I pick up a pair of leather or NATO straps for it or just donate it?

Guy asks for watches not over $1000 and you post a guide for stuff under $50.. Is it an insult?

>>7253046
But one has already been made. Watches for entry mechanical stuff like in this buying chart.

I really want any Tudor watch one day. My fave watches I wear right now is both my seiko 5s and a beater invitca 9402.

>>7253046
It wasn't an insult. But if you have any other watches to add to that buying list. I'm interested because I'm a half neet & jobseeker.

But it has to be available online in both eBay and international shipping online shops.

You... realize you're trying to take fashion advice from finance douches, right?

It'd also be interesting to know their ages - as a Gen-Y'r, Omegas are the shit they slapped on Pierce Brosnan when I was a kid. That said, Submariners and any watch with a dial over 40mm are for assholes. GMTs, Explorers, especially vintage ones - those are the good shit.

BMWs (late model ones, at least) scream Yup (and Pierce was slapped into them), and Mercedes scream arrogant power. Audis have this utilitarian sportiness I've always dug - except the A7, way bigger than I'd ever go for, but the most elegant-lined sedan in production today. Above Mercedes you're not looking at Audis as competition.

You're right that anything over 40mm is obnoxious, but I think Rolex Date, Datejust, and Day-Date models, and some Air Kings look good too.

The Dayjust II and Day Date II models are junk though, 40mm is too big for a dress watch.

Zenitar or Meranom for new models. eBay in general for older ones.

Rolexes do lack a bit of style. For the past few decades, they have been sticking with their staple designs:
>Submariner
>Explorer
>Date Just
>etc. etc.

Just by sticking to this, yeah, Rolex lacks style. However, Rolex makes a goddamned steel brick of a watch. Their timepieces are reliable and durable.

I'm happy with my Submariner. It lacks any spice, yes, but it has been a reliable piece for many years. It has been through swamps, oceans, sand, mud, the insides of an alligator, ice and snow. I'd like to see this kind of toughness in any other watch.

>>7256038
>the insides of an alligator
H-H-Hook?

>>7256102
I was doing a field dissection on a dead alligator. I didn't bother taking off the watch because it was already dirty.

Apparently there has been an increase of pulmonary disease amongst alligators in the American south. It's the contaminants that we're dumping in the rivers--pharmaceuticals, chemicals, whatever. All of this stuff is being dumped into their habitats and they are dying off.

What watch does drive own??
Pls respond

I got one of these Uzi watches a while back because I wanted a military watch with tritium, but was too hard on money to afford a Luminox or a Marathon.

It looks kind of neat, in my opinion. But, I guess you get what you pay for, as the parts are complete shit. It wasn't long before the hands fell off.

Your autism is in full effect. Holy shit you are a fucking retard. Not only do you have shit tastes in watches, you are fucking gross and stupid. You must be some shit-tier Asian.

>>7258606
You sound really envious that you can't afford a watch like that let alone use it like you don't give a fuck.

Eh, I wish they would lay off the images on the dials.

what's a good sub $200 classy looking watch for going out?

>>7260584
Timex Weekender is posted a lot as a cheap watch that wears well. Check out Skagen and Swatch for quartz movements, which is probably what you want if you're just going out.

Retail is 725 but got it for 230 due to a pricing error.

Wow.

>>7261696
That's not /fa/ at all. It's /g/ tier. It looks like a great beater watch to wear but still.. A digital watch as a fuck-off time piece? Or a favorite wristwatch that makes you happy?

I'd rather get the metal bracelet version instead of a plastic one.

Plebs gonna pleb.

>>7261840
This is my current one though. I can't stand analogue.

>>7261696
Is that the 'terrorist watch'? I suppose there is some ironic class in that.

I was curious if someone has put one of those casios with a leather band and I found these images.

Would you wear any one of these /fa/?

>>7245501
I really loved how that watch looked so I googled it in hopes of finding a place to buy...

It's $2000. Wat the fak

>>7264311
for that?... yeah dont

>>7246421

Link?

>>7264311
If it was a generic quartz watch yes it'll cost under the $500 price mark. But it has an auto/mechanical movement inside which makes it way more dearer. But for that price instead you could've bought a pre-owned Speedy professional chronograph instead.

It doesn't really work like that. Valjoux 7753 costs about 400-500$, from Stowa propably closer to 200-250$ if that. Mechanical movement, unless some elaborate inhouse one, usually doesn't explain the price alone, there's just ton of air in the price for it being an luxury item. Also Stowa produces really small numbers.

>>7264453

What I'm getting for christmas

>>7264366
what model is that? that back looks sexy

So I started looking at Orients, and the Millenium really caught my eye (dat textured dial)... But seeing as I can't even find one on eBay, the Esteem (pic related) was both attractive and attainable. What are your thoughts on this model, and of Orient in general.. at least quality-wise.

>>7264768
>Wearing square watches

>>7267695

I have also been interested in Orients. Any opinions on which one of these (pic related) I should get. Both are 42mm.

Just copped this last weekend. Is it /fa/?

>>7268845
A better, stock image.

Just gonna leave this here.

For someone with a budget of $5k, looking for a thin sporty watch similar to the hamilton jazzmaster or skagen, but better quality...any recommendations?

>>7268845
might get some hate on the brand, but actually a pretty nice watch.

thoughts on uniform wares?

>>7261605
I love this watch
but for fuck sake what you should get you a domed sapphire crystal

idgaf about heritage and homage to the original speedmaster, they raped the design with like 50 different kinds of special editions just put a fucking sapphire on that thing already

>>7264282

square watches aren't good, get a round one
>>7268742
price vs. quality they are fucking awesome. One of the best entry level options. My first auto was an Eminence and it is really nice. longislandwatch.com do awesome discounts >pic related

>>7268780
right
Small-seconds doesn't really look good on that style
Okay on chronos and vintage pieces but not that

a bit contradictory but I'll take a shot. Seamaster Aqua Terra for 2.5-3k

>>7269980
woops, pic is actually the 5.5k GMT version

or i unno, breitling transocean? you don't have 5 k i just like posting watches

anyone know where I can get something that looks similar and minimal to this?
I really fucking like it.

it's part of seikos design contest or something.
never actually made it to production or anything.

but damn it. I love it.

>>7270051

having trouble finding something with that dial/hands/indices configuration that is also in a black case...

>>7270080
>>7270085
wow thanks.
that mondaine would be ideal if the case was black.
here's another I really like.

>>7270096
also non-black case but similar again

>>7270096
i know they make black cases, but i don't think i've seen the black case with the white dial

Thoughts for someone with large un/fa/shionable wrists?

>square watches aren't good, get a round one


This is just silly. There are plenty of classic, even iconic square, and especially tonneau pieces out there.

>>7270337
Would you cop? Or a Cartier tank? I couldn't because I'm not rich. And plus it's too much dressy for a $6k+ watch. I like dressy-sporty ones.

>>7270356
The only square JLC worth copping is the Reverso.

>>7270411
Fuck, that is a JLC. I meant square watches in general. So yes, would cop.

>>7270356
not him but I'd definitely cop one, do they come in brass or gold?

>>7270450
I'm not sure. Someone could chime in on this one because I'd only like to pay that much cash for a real precious metal one.

>>7269960

Thanks, I appreciate the opinion. I was starting to think right as well, because it is more symmetrical and clean.

Any non-diver, decent looking watches with tritium or radium lighting?

6" wrists
What watch will not look comically huge?

My only watch atm which is the only thing that my grandpa left us. Vintage Omega's are a great starter watch

>>7270942
Ball. Not many have non-diver/sportwatches with tritium tubes.

Marathon has the cheap Navigator but it's a pure mil watch.

>>7269270
bump for this, anyone?

>>7269270
>>7271289
Nothing that bad but seriously overpriced.

Had this bought for me a while ago. Not sure what I can make it work with or if I should ditch the big part of the strap under the watch itself.

>>7271318
Ditch, I hate those bund straps. Put in a normal leather strap. Or is that badge that goes under removable without damaging rest of the strap?

>>7271325

The lower part of the strap slides right off, but the top part will need to be cut on the big part. It won't damage the strap itself and will allow the watch to be worn without having to get a new strap. I also need to soften the leather, since I haven't worn it since it was bought for me a year or so ago. Any recommendations?

Great with a futuristic fit imo

>>7271341
Don't treat it with anything like you would say boots, you don't want watch strap to be oily or greasy. Just wear it and it will soften.

>>7271364

Alright thanks for the info.

Judging by the lack of negative reactions to the watch itself, I'm guessing it's reasonably tasteful?

Kinda new to /fa/ and fashion in general, so I really don't know what to look for

>>7271381
It's pretty basic and inoffensive.

>>7241166

chrono24 nigger

>>7271386

Good. I can live with that.

>>7240847

The Rollie looks old. From what year? I really like the Longines, how much was it and when did you buy it?

are there any minimal watches less than a 150 (or even less than 100) that aren't timex or casio

>>7271419

see

>>7270080

>>7271419
Citizen Stiletto, not sure if they are under or over 150 but not much either way.

It's a range btw, with lot of different models.

>>7271439

>>7271439
>>7271444
Fuck that simplistic shit.

If you can tell the time by looking at your watch for less than 3 seconds you're doing it wrong.

>>7271468
Different style for different purposes. I love both, including the super busy instrument-esque watches like Skyhawk etc. Works well in more sporty or techy outfits.

>>7270055
Where can I cop this one?

>>7271643
Not that guy but I'm 98% that's Japan domestic Seiko.

I've seen them somewhere though, I will check for you because I have nothing better to do. Moment.

>>7271667
Alright I didn't find that exact one, what I was thinking were these:

>>7271439
>>7271444
i'd rather not look like a geezer

>>7271678
the black Stiletto is sportier while being minimalistic

>>7271690
ya that's a lot nicer to me, but it's like 200-300

Why do I have to be so poor. :(

I just want this Russian beauty.

>>7238409

Buy secondhand.

watches decrease in value crazy quick.

>>7271667
>>7271670
Thank you kind gantleman.

>>7271439
Exact model number?
Also where did you get it.. I can't find any stiletto that even close to $200
