it looks good, how do you like the leather? I assume you only have to clean the steel part of the watch because the leather absorbs the moisture so it doesnt build up grime like these steel ones.

I found this the other day and have started wearing it. The band is a little shit, but I like it overall.

>>7927346
Yes the current one I have is just a Mk I picked up at Macys. Its nice for a fashionwatch.
Thinking of stepping it up with a 1953 Rolex oyster perpetual. Going for $1995
Yea or nay effay???

>>7927508
If you have buttloads of cash then go for it. But if that's like 10% of your income per year I wouldn't cop.

>>7927401
The leather is bretty good. I sometimes take put some rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball to clean the strap and bezel when it starts to get a little smelly.

Lots of compliments

w2c good leather watch bands

:)

>>7927570
oh my god

>>7927504
that watch look really unique if someone who knows the owner sees it on you they will probably think you stole it

My current watch

I wear one of these.

>>7927912
hey jackson

>>7927907
Nice, even numbers. That is a sweet watch.

>>7927907
>from china

god dammit dude

well its a nice watch nonetheless I suppose.

>>7927950
I know Chinas balls
The movement is reliable and has good reviews

>Best looking Bauhaus watch less than $500

and automatics are just cool

>>7927965
in my opinion of course. But the face is an exact copy of a couple thousand dollar NOMOS and I'm a student so nopenopenope

>>7927965
sounds like you did your research, good buy for sure.

>>7927504
if anyone asks say you bought it from "meranom"
shipping was free for a limited time when you bought it, although you paid $1 for tracking within Russia. It took 30 days, which is longer than you liked, but understandable considering how shitty their postal service is.

That's a good cover story thank me later

might be my favorite item of fachon

and heres a link for future reference

>>7928145
It's a much more uncommon case and bezel. Meranom never had that model, nor watches from that era. To anyone in the know it's easy to figure out it didn't come from an outside source unless you can point to an Ebay listing.

been wearing this a lot

real bond nato from corvus currently but I switch it out with a bespoke horween shell cordovan #8 strap occasionally

it takes like 2 seconds to swap out a strap with these kinds NATO strap

never have the fuck with spring bars again

>>7928376
can u post ur watch collection sieg

and whats ur favourite

>>7928424
that is a 5 slot watch box, and I can't even fill it

my favorite watch is an old Seiko 6309 for personal reasons, the other watches in there aren't great

a watch I picked out for my 18th bday, a watch I wore in college (selvedge nato lol) it's all trash

everything that was worth money I sold long ago, of the past, my favorite was a vintage patek I bought for cheap on craigslist.

I ended up paying $8700, was rose gold, hand wind and came in a suede bag, 2nd fav was a low end Hamilton perpetual moon phase

least favorite was a 1980's cartier tank flip

eh

>>7928163
is that an easyreader?

>>7928473
>eh
couldnt have said it better myself

>>7928163
>timex
it's your favorite item and you couldn't even afford a nice one?

>>7927907
Bought mine this summer. Pretty satisfied so far.

I dont much like big numbers on watches, wouldnt buy a watch because I only like a single feature either

I don't wear watches but I own this one has a gift.
It's a tonino lamborghini chronograph.
Been trying to sell it but literally no one buys watches anymore lel

My current epic(?) simple style (lol)

>>7927907
W2C? That website is sold out

Whatcha think about highend automatic onehand watches with a fancy calendar?

Retail 1.6k Eur, about 2.2k USD.

>>7928888
It's probably because that watch is disgusting.

>>7928473
>Calatrava
so plain and boring, yet so expensive.

Correction - no one buys watches that look like that anymore

Hi, I want to buy an /fa/ watch with a leather strap because they're my favourite btu I don't feel like I dress appropriately for it all the time. Sometimes I just have a tee, jeans and some battered converse.

Can I still pull it off?

>>7928961
I dont think about them
prefer a regulateur layout

>>7929341

>>7929015
I know it looks crappy, but I was hoping a $2400 watch would at least sell for $600

My chopard,,, worn it everyday for about a year and a half
Thinking of Panerai or Audars Piguet for my next watch

>>7929473

>>7929353
low-end jap domestic automatic and Modern quartz analog. Uh oh.

>>7928888
maybe try to clean all the damn dandruff off the case before you take a pic of it? and anyways the bracelet part looks all scratched up.

current watch

>>7929341
Depends on the watch?
> /fa/ watch? depends on your taste
>leather strap goes with just about anything casual

just look at different styles find one that you like/ would fit with what you wear most of the time.

got a new one

>>7929634
Semi nice collection but not much diversity stylewise.

I've got this local flee market that always has tonnes of people selling vintage watches. Lots of old watches that don't look at the top of their game. Usually around 60-70USD each. I was thinking of buying one I think looks nice and maybe getting it cleaned/restored and throwing a nice new band on. Saw lots of Seiko 5's, Tissot, Orient, and a few random Russian watches.

What do you guys think of my plan of getting them cleaned? Are there anything i should look out for specifically when buying them?

look at mine :)

>>7929725

i like how AP are able to put in the screws on that watch aesthetically pleasing while Hublot fucks that up on the big bang watches.

>>7929740

for comparison. Fuck you Hublot and your overpriced ugly watches.

Rather save up and by a Royal Oak Offshore.

>>7929718
im not expert but
Ideal situation is if you go have a look and are able to look up online whats what because though theres some general stuff to look out for like everything moving smoothly/ not feeling too loose, many brands hav specific things you have to look out for. For example with russian 24h raketas there are a lot of fakes out there where a 12 h date movement has been modified to work with a 24h face.

But specific little things like that take a bit a research to find out.
If you find a nice looking watch that isnt too beat up and is running smoothly seems like a not bad plan. check out just some ballpark on how much to restore an average watch b/c you might just be better off buying new.

On mechanicals it might help if you can open the back to see the guts and how well they're maintained

>>7928896
unfortunately i haven't found any other website that sells them.

The bit saying end of Feb they'll come in stock referred to Feb 27th where they sold out in about a day. I just ordered mine 3 days ago when i randomly checked their stock. So it appear they stock monthly-ish. Just check daily if you really w2c this in particular. Or peruse ebay if youre impatient, i've seen a few up on there.

>>7929353

Top fuckin kek

>>7929748
By mechanicals you mean automatics aka not-quartz right?

>>7929770
Yeah mechanicals includes automatic and hand wound.

Insides for quartz if its working then worst case is probably a cheap battery replacement if its an old watch

>>7929202
This looks like something straight out of the 80s/early 90s, I like.

>>7929725
Beautiful watch dude !! Matches your car also.. But a bit out of my budget
What do you think of this one ? Seriously thinking of buying it

>>7927907
>Your Price: $10,000.00

>>7929999
yeah the derpy chinese website lists the price at 10k instead of out of stock for whatever reason. $120 USD is the real price

Here you are fellow watchbros:

Jacked up price but constantly re-stocked. Just type "seagull rodina" into google if this listing goes down.

Also if you're a richfag feel free to buy me one poorfag as fuck at the moment. Email in line.

>>7929987
how much is it?

rate my watch lads

>>7930650
according to chrono 24, the stainless steel version ranges from $15000-$20000 for a used one
It was a special edition released in 2009 and discontinued

>>7929481
pls choose AP, Panerai are ugly as sin and their brand history vs brand today have nothing in common.

>>7929634
Do you work next door to Tissot?
I like the gold Lelocle and FC,
Seems like the DayDate and Chronometre are a bit redundant...PUT THEM ON NATO'S!!!!!1

>>7929747
they're not all ugly, but yeah dem screws are annoying

>>7929725
yfw

>>7930853

this one looks nice but goddamit.. it cant be that hard to put screws symmetrically. espacially if you make watches in the price range of AP or A. Lange & Söhne.
it just fucks it up, like a on quartz watch when you realise the second hand never exactly hits the indexes. just ruins my day.

>>7930848

haha no. but my GFs mother works for one of the swatch groups companys. they get 40% discount on all watch brands that belong ton swatch. (swatch, rado, certina, tissot, omega, glasshütte etc.) so its a nice oppertunity. thinking of buying a speedy next.

i got a g-shock as a gift, and i tend to think i look stupid when i wear it

>>7930935
Then just take your quartz watches to the watch repair guy (I don't even know the name for this) and tell him to adjust seconds hand correctly.

>>7929229
lets go bomb something anon

>>7929229
How much did you cop that for? The model with the gold face is $20 on the walmart website and $80 on ASOS. I want to know if there's any difference between the two or if ASOS is just marking up because they know turds will pay that much.

>>7930661
5/10

I can't afford it. I have to use my phone like a pleb

muh baume

>>7931260
I dig some texture.

>>7927555
Why is the date black on white?

It suits my sense of style, and it fits well.

god I love ulysse nardin watches so much they're all so perfect but I'll never be able to afford one

>>7931776
Sorry dude but this watch is garbage. Looks tacky and is probably fossil-tier. You can do much better in the sub-100 price range.

Feel free to chastise my taste

>>7932069
needs a better color scheme

and you really shouldn't be showing off the movements of a fossil

Most recent cop and I love it, get more complements on it than any of my other watches too. Wish the build quality was better though, and it's surprisingly inaccurate for a quartz movement (+5 seconds a day).

If I could get the same design with a higher build quality and a mechanical movement it would be the perfect watch, for me at least. I'll have a Speedmaster some day ;__;

>>7929305
Every thread mang, please get it soon.

Put a brown leather strap on my SNK809, thoughts? I'm not sure if I like it. It kind of feels like I'm trying to dress up a casual watch, almost the watch version of a child wearing his dad's suit.

Also, I'll be looking for a ~$2-300 watch to buy around my birthday in June. Recommendations for that range?

>>7932145
To be honest, I'm not sure I like it. I think a really dark leather nato like this would look good on it, something like this

http://www.cheapestnatostraps.com/collections/leather-nato-straps/products/pvd-leather-nato-strap-black-18mm-20mm-22mm

>>7931062
I'm almost tempted to get one of those, but having a whole bunch of pointless stuff printed on them kind of turns me off.

For example, there's already a label for which button activates the light. Do I also need "Electro Luminescent" and "Illuminator" printed in big bold letters?

Do they make a "cleaner" version?

>>7932208
There's this but I'm not sure if it really exists, I never looked into it

>>7932219
Did some digging and this is the A158WEA-1EF apparently

Hope that helps

>>7932219
>>7932236
Wow, much better, thanks!

>>7932248
No problem, kinda tempted to get one for myself now.

>>7932145
You can certainly dress it up a little bit, but it's hard to match black and brown. Certainly not how you have it. You could go for a lighter more casual brown, but I'd stick to black leather with white stitching if preferred. The flatter non-padded leather without rounded edges looks best. Metal rivets like in traditional pilot watchbands are cool too. You can also buy a wider strap and cut notches off the end to fit as well.

>>7932219
Yeah, that and several other Casio models seem to be only carried in Europe however.

>>7932874
where would I get a watch strap like that?
all I've been able to find is cheap Chinese shit

>>7927570
where do i acquire this?

>>7932925
Try Amazon or Ebay, black leather pilot watch strap.

Cheap watch from asos. The face is arguably 2trendy4me, but I like it.

>>7933070
just came into this thread to say that watch is disgusting and you should feel bad

>>7933070
jesus christ..

>>7932143
I know, sorry bro, having trouble saving for it.

jomashop.com

Got this from my father sometthing like 14 years ago. The original leather strap broke years ago, and at the time I was in the military so I bought a rubber one, should really buy a new leather strap...

>>7929235
Agreed

>>7932874
>>7932874
>only carried in Europe
Internet tho

>>7933370

This is the watch that I'm wearing atm.
