Thanks, but I want that one for its 5 ticks per second chrono hand. The only other quartz watches that do that of which I'm aware that are available are the SSB series. Unfortunately, they are mostly unimpressive and all have the unnecessary 24hr dial.

If you can find a pilot-style chrono with the VK67 in it, then I'll be impressed. So far, I've only found it in Alba by Seiko and various OEM (Invicta Tungsten Chrono, Isssey Miyake, etc.)

right, left or niether one?

>>8363717
Left one.
The right one looks plain weird.

My AP Offshore.

On another note, I finally sold my Patek.

>>8363736
Really not a fan of the way-too-chunky Offshore, but glad to hear you got rid of the Patek.

Which Patek was it?

>>8363742
5970 in white gold.

The chunkiness is manageable as I have thick wrists. Though I mostly wear my 16600 nowadays.

I love it so much... only problem is that I want more expensive watches now.

>>8363717
Neither one, both are overpriced for what they are. Also Titanium always scratches easy, even with a really good coating. Always go for SS, it scratches as well, but it won't be as pronounced.

>>8363746
How much did you get for it?
It's a lovely watch in my opinion.

>>8363868
not "5 sports" logo on a seiko. so much better.

>>8363890
I got the normal market price for a mint condition 5970. I actually made profit.

>>8363434
Only if it's a Moto 360.

>>8363960
>not "5 sports" logo on a seiko.
Well it's a Spirit, not a 5 and has the 6R15 not the 7S24.

>>8363746

how did you get 150k for a watch ?

>>8364023
I have a job. I've never played the lottery in my life.

>>8364032

>>8364065

I work for an extremely high-end luxury goods business as product management adviser.

>>8364065

I already got my favorite watch and wore the shit out of it; but if I could get my hands on a Ball Spacemaster my life will be complete.

>>8364088
What education do you have?

>>8364161
Bachelor in business administration and service management.

>>8363434

>>8364174
What does this study involve?
Math?

>>8364236
It involves math and a whole bunch of other aspects of running a business. Sociology, marketing, economics, product development, customer service, etc.

>>8364278
A shame that sociology and customer service sounds boring.
Otherwise sounds pretty good.
Currently studying computer science, but I've been considering switching to math-economy.

>>8363746
god damnit that's beautiful

>>8363736

Why is the font on the numbers so bendy instead of straight?

>>8364305
I like sociology. It makes it easier to understand how people can be so shit. And customer service is actually exciting. Knowing how to take good care of customers is very important, especially in the luxury goods business.

>>8364343
dunno. Probably something to do with the model number/year.

People recommend that watches [especially automatic movements] should be serviced every five years. However, what actually causes a watch movement to break down?

Dirt entering through the crown slot?
Mechanical erosion?
Magnetisation?
Water damage?

>>8364480
Nothing. I have 30+ year old watches that work just fine.

>>8364480
Mostly the oil needing to be reapplied.

But I have not serviced my Rolex for 8 years and it's still going just fine. I'll have it serviced when it starts showing problems.

>>8364305
>sociology
>boring

Biomedical engineering major here. Sociology, along with Anthropology, were by far my favorite classes. It's a shame it's impossible to make money studying it or I would for sure have switched.

What's a really good vastok model?

>>8364650
none

>>8364206
That strap hurts my autism

my leisure time watch.

>>8364480
Most of the following is theory and some of it may be overemphasized by the obessesed:
>dirt entering through crown slot
Supposedly, despite gaskets, exceedingly small amounts of dust and dirt can enter the watch every time the crown is pulled out. Also, temperature and pressure gradients can draw dust in and out during thermal expansion.

>mechanical erosion
The pivots of each wheel are tiny and each is held in a synthetic jewel, reducing friction but not completely eliminating it. Allowed to run for years as grit collects in the oils and they dry out, the oils become less of a lubricant and more of an abrasive. In practice, there exist unjeweled mechanical watches from decades past that still run accurate to plus/minus 30 secs a day. But since watches are often heirloom pieces and owned long-term, erring on the side of caution is not a bad idea.

>magnetism
A demagnetizer fixes this quickly. Most modern watches use a hairspring that is at least somewhat resistant to magnetism (elinvar, invar, nivarox, etc.)

>water intrusion
Immediate attention required.

>>8364426
W2c

>>8363746
Choosing an AP Offshore over a 5970 . . . just why. Never mind that the only Royal Oak worth owning is the original styling, not Offshore and Safari.

>>8363868
what is the name of this model?

>>8365593
I didn't choose one over the other. I didn't like the fact that the Patek had rhodium plating on the white gold, so it had to go.

I like the Offshore. You don't. That is fine.

I'm looking for a white simplistic watch, any recomendations?

>>8365625
>white simplistic watch
You sound like an absolute pleb.
Sorry if that sounds elitist.

>>8365625
what do you mean m8?

>>8365604
Haha, sorry, it's more that I'm so used to most people choosing the 5970 as their grail. To be honest, I've never really been a fan of the Royal Oak and Nautilus because of their styling, but I am warming up to them. Still wouldn't be my first choices at that price range, though.

The best watch is always the one that you enjoy the most, no question!

Copped this watch, but it didn't come with a band. I got a shitty black plastic one from a cheapo chink watch shop but it looks like total shit.

Could someone suggest a band that might go well with it? I really have no fucking idea...

leaning towards this lately

From my dad

>>8365943
>all ur gonna need
for three months until the strap breaks

question regarding automatic watches

1) I've read that they are not as accurate as quartz and that the can be +/- secs per day,
I've also read that the watch can be "regulated" to make it as accurate as possible.
is this permanent or do you have to have it regulated on a monthly/year;y basis

2)Can this

>>8366581
Regulating isn't exactly permanent but it's not temporary either. The accuracy of a mechanical watch is dependent on the period of oscillation of the balance wheel, which in turn is dependent on lots factors: the force of the mainspring, the swinging motion of one's arm, the position in which the watch rests the most, etc. The sorts of things vary from one day to the next for the wearer. Even Rolexes, which all receive COSC certification, will be off a few seconds per day. Regulation can make a mechanical watch more accurate overall, but it's virtually impossible for a mechanical watch to be consistently as accurate as a quartz.

So no, you don't have to regulate on a regular basis.

>>8366656
how difficult is it to regulate a watch?
should i go to a repair shop or is it a doable diy?

>>8366012
Hey thanks! I'm thinking of upgrading to the stop2go model.

>>8366677
In theory, it's easy. You just move a lever to change the effective length of the hairspring. But it's easy to mess up. If you don't have steady hands, you might slip and damage the hairspring and then you can be sure your watch won't keep time quite as well.

The lever will likely only need to be moved a tiny bit, so little you may not notice that you've moved it. There's also the matter of how you'll know if the watch is actually more accurate after you've "regulated". You may have overshot the happy medium. Some advocate resetting the time, wearing it for a day, and then checking with a more accurate time source. Actual watchmakers use a timegrapher. Some DIYrs use Audacity coupled with a pickup mic.

Honestly, if your watch is within 30 secs a day, I wouldn't bother regulating it.

or buy secondhand, which seems popular around here, though I personally have no experience

>>8367301
A Seiko mechanical (notably the 5 series, but they have a few other models there, too). Or, if you like the Submariner look, an Invicta 8926OB. There's literally an image guide with this shit posted earlier in the thread.

>>8368605
Boring.
Not a fan of Uniform Wares.

>>8368706
i value the simplistic look of it. i might just be reacting because i currently wear a chronograph so there's a lot going on.

could you recommend any watches <$400 that are still simplistic yet elegant? i really like some of the older styles that I see on Hodinkee and TimeTide but obviously i don't have 12 grand to blow

>>8368717
Why don't you just grab a vintage Omega or something?
Would probably fit into your price range.

>>8368605

My opinion, welcome or not, is that the simple design would allow this watch to go with anything, but the metallic finish, over-simplistic design and watch face cements this watch exclusively as a casual style.

Truly is the silver version of >>8365965 in some ways. Something more dress-like may be more practical, because you can casualise it or formalise it better.

>>8363746
nice, the old man has a 5270

I've noticed some leather bands have what seems to be a metal piece build-in. What is the purpose of this? Anti theft? Additional support?

>>8368977

Because I cant find it on any shops in my nation and it for some reason I got this feeling that this watch brand is kind of cheap.

Is there any /fa/ way to pull off a pocket watch in a casual suit?

>>8370104
Yeah just make sure it matches your fedora

>>8370076
Look into Citizen Grand Classic or Touring.

Probably best value you can get below 1.2k.

It's hand finished, Sapphire crystal front and back, double AR coated and domed front one, excellent craftsmanship all round, decorated Miyota 9010 movement with 28000bph and it can be regulated well beyond COSC ETA 2824-2.

You can find these for around 700-800 but you won't find something similar below 1.2k and even then the crystal probably wouldn't be domed.

>>8370076
>shut up poorfag
Top lel faggot.

>>8370146
Sorry but the entire brand "Citizen" got it ruined for me. I dunno. I just saw their brand in shops around my city with too many other low brands.

This watch however. Very nice.

>>8370146
Although if you are willing to spend a little more like 1.6k I'd get and probably will get this year a "The Citizen" Chronomaster high accuracy quartz. Nobody will now it's a 2-3k MSRP watch. It does have perfect finish though and is very simple but together with a few special edition GS the most autonomous accurate watch in the world.

Also fyi the Grand Classic is US DM and the Chronomaster JDM

>>8370163
No worries man, it's OK.
I just don't like showing off. I think it's a culture thing.

Anyhow I'm watching football and typing on phone, slowly, hence the suggestion for Chronomaster when you already wrote you are not interested.

>>8368595
I think it's 42mm so it's not that big.

>>8370223
42mm is fuckhuge for proper watches, but at least it's an honest fashion watch and not one of those pretenders.
Also Nixon has terrible value for what they are.

>>8370243
Yeah, I wouldn't recommend anyone buying one.
At least their support is good though. I got a nixon watch as a gift a few years ago that recently fucked up(digital functions). I contacted support they're allowing me to pick a new watch(even a new model in same price range) for the price of the repair cost.

I don't really want another Nixon but It's better than nothing I guess.

Thoughts on skeleton watches?

It's like you like looking like a tool

>>8372560
Like 90% of omega watches look like shit though... even they are fully aware of it.

Also that one should have had a cleaner bezel and rounder face and it should have a swanneck. Not him though.

If you have to have a skeleton watch get a cheap Chinese one you won't be able to afford the nice ones anyway

>>8372560

Most skeleton watches are regarded as the fedora of time-pieces. I don't like that concept either, because I find watch mechanics interesting. Skeleton watches are generally less versatile than regular watches as the transparent face artificially clutters the watch in a way - making it harder to read the time in comparison to conventional watches. The watches tend to be more often than not a little bulky, and many skeleton watch manufacturers incorporate edgy face designs to partially hide some of the mechanics - unlike the omega you posted.

Find a nice shaped skeleton watch that's easy to read and has a simple and clean appearance. I'll post some if I come across any.

Could be worse though. You could have a mundaine.

Recent cop, needs bands.

Could anyone identify this watch for me?
I've never been able to find it on my own, hopefully one of you can spot it.

I'm looking to get a watch that would go with basic summer wear (v-neck and chino shorts) and I"m leaning towards this basic Timex recommended in the sticky. Do you think there's something better I could get? Better color that would match with more outfits? I'm looking to spend less than $100.

>>8374074

All watches from that era look roughly the same, from Timex to Omega. There was no such thing as a dress or casual watch. The watch you wore to work was likely the watch you wore on a night out.

I'm getting a watch for 2.5k next month and will get another one for 6k next year.
And I bet that dude with the 30k watch secretly wants some minute repeater for 500k and for that you could be the great timekeeper with only Rolexes all over.

But you will learn soon enough.

>>8375130
from a fashion standpoint though, you should get one rather than later as well, because it's too big for your wrist (and probably anyone else as well).

And yeah when I got my latest watch my gf also wanted me to get the stupid Nixon (fu**ing automatic <-- not even kidding that is what it is actually called and written on the back). What's up with women and far too big fashion watches. (Additionally I only have 17cm (6.8 inch) wrists as well)

I highly doubt that. 100$ movement somehow amounts to a 600£ watch? The watch should be 400$ at most. All in all it's way too much.

Also spending that kind of money on a non-HAQ quartz watch is also very questionable.

If I were you and wanted a chronometer and were limited to 600£, I'd look for a nice second hand watch with ETA 7750

>>8375263
if you insist on a quartz chronometer, get the Tissot PRC 200. It actually has quite good value unlike the one you posted.

There's some pretty beautiful dress watches posted near the end of this thread.

for that kind of budget, Timex is one of the best brands you can get. You can get all of their watches for way less than 100$

that's just a faux-swiss brand using chinese seagull st19 movements.

I'm not big on roman numerals either but it was a gift and I like the simple design despite them.

Anyone have any experience with Orient watches? (good or bad)

There's a black ray up on ebay for like 40 bucks. Kinda tempted but im not sure if its worth it

>>8379803
It's actually a good company for watches in general. It belongs to Seiko and has slightly worse finish than the equivalent Seiko, but is also cheaper. All in all it's always good value (like Seiko).

I just googled and it should be at least 150$ (including shipping). So go for it.

Bad lighting and picture does not make it a fake.

>>8382664

wtf did you pay 10k for this shit watch?

in germany you could buy this for 5600€

>>8382777
>5600€
So, if he bought it today, he overpaid by $3k, but given the Euro hasn't been quite so weak in relation to the dollar until recently, the price was probably comparable.

>>8382793

not really 5600€ is for a new yachtmaster you can get a used one for 3800€

nobody buys yachtmasters because the sub or dj is supperior and more iconic

>>8382664
I really hope you did not pay that sticker price.

Either way, that watch doesn't work on your wrist.

They share the movement oftentimes, but finish is always worse on Orient. Therefore Orient is always a little cheaper in all segments:

Seiko 5 70$ish -- Orient 3 Star 50$ish
Grand Seiko 2k-3k - Royal Orient 1.5k
Seiko SARB 400$ - Orient Star WZ00 400$

And that also goes for single watches:
Seiko Prospex SBDB001 2.5k - Orient World Stage WV011EL 1k
Seiko SKX 160$ - Orient Ray 100$

And since both offer great value the Seiko is almost always the better finished watch. The most obvious it really is with the SARB and WZ00.

All in all both are great watch makers, but Seiko really uses Orient as a cheaper alternative. But you can't just say that Seiko is always better since there a fringe cases where you might be able to afford a higher tiered Orient model than a Seiko at a given budget.

>>8383832
also make that Grand Seiko Price 2k-7k. I came up with 2-3k, mostly because I was looking too much at their high accuracy quartz GS lately, forgetting the Hi-Beats and Spring Drives. Also I just looked it up and there are also 3k Royal Orients.

Not that it matters to the point I was making.

>They share the movement oftentimes...
No. This is blatantly false: just google it.

>The finish is always worse on Orient.
I prefer not to talk about "finish" myself because it's a highly subjective buzzword but to say that it is "always" worse is just outright dumb.

>Therefore Orient is always a little cheaper in all segments:
The problem with this is that you've given your premises unsupported. But then you go on to offer price comparisons as if your conclusion is your premise. It's almost as if you think a lower price *necessitates* a lower quality.

tl;dr You talk like a fag and your shit is pants-on-head retarded.

>No. This is blatantly false: just google it.
I could have sworn I've seen some Seiko movements without the Seiko branding in Orient watches. I'm still not convinced, but since I can't find one at this moment, you are apparently right, at least to the degree that it's mostly inhouse movements.

>finish is a buzzword
No it's not, it describes what you see under a magnifier, like the edges of the hands, the detail parts of the dial and the transitions from brushed to polished SS parts.

>The problem with this is that you've given your premises unsupported.
No it's not unsupported I've given plenty of examples you could have just googled and compared for yourself. Look here:
SARB033 and Orient Star WZ0031DV (rare occasion where the same watch has about the same price and is not cheaper for Orient):

>tl;dr You talk like a fag and your shit is pants-on-head retarded.
Do you really have to start insulting? Are you an Orient collector or something? You are way too mad.
I said they both have good value and that's why price is indicative of the quality you'll get. You can't compare the more expensive Seiko directly to the Orient since it will obviously be better because it was more expensive (which they objectively are). If you have 130$ and want a diver, I'd tell you get a Orient and if you have 170$, I'd tell you to get the Seiko, in both cases you would get the most for your money.

>>8384403
also the question was:
>wut. I thought Orient is slightly better Seiko?

So my answer basically was to every Orient there is a better (and more expensive) Seiko.

So what is your guys opinion on Steinhart and their GMT II?

Since Rolex design patterns ran out other companies can legitimately almost clone the watch if they feel like it.

Steinhart (German company, producing in Switzerland) produces well made homages (to use a friendly word) with good materials like domed sapphire crystals, ceramic/sapphire bezels, good lume and good detail. On top of that, they use actually good movements like the ETA 2824-2 or in this case the ETA 2893-2.

it's solid watch but deep inside you know it's no rolex.

>>8386868
Yep that's the problem, I'd totally buy it for 500€ without giving it a second thought, if it had the 2893-2, the ceramic bezel and the domed sapphire, but wouldn't look exactly like the Rolex.

Why can't they into own designs.
