There's three other watch threads and it took you two tries to even make this fifth one.
Reign in your autism, please.

daily reminder

>>8794901
I like this comic a lot but it's inaccurate: it should read "fags with watches without either lume or light".

Not being able to see your watch in the dark has nothing to do with whether or not your watch is mechanical. Thinking this is only a mechanical problem is pure ignorance.

Worried that some of the watches I want to bid on on eBay are counterfeits. What do?

>>8795021

> mechanical watches with a light

U wot m8?

Also superluminova is the best thing ever.

Pic is what I'm wearing today.

>>8794901
It is possible to get automatic watches with glow in the dark paint on the hands.

I need a cheap watch that can survive a nuclear holocaust. What's my best bet?

>>8795068
Ask /fa/ of course. Post 'em.

>>8795080
You probably won't survive one so what's the point?

>>8795113
Bredy gool. I like the bezel.

Any movement pics of 2 and 4?

>>8795127

I should add that #2 is only 'OK' because I fucking hate dauphine hands.

>>8795127
Sorry no pics of the movements, no idea how to take off the back either so I could take pics.

>>8795091
>You probably won't survive one so what's the point?
I need a rugged watch, is all.

>>8795140

No problemo. Keep collecting.

Did you personally buy the Seiko?
Was the Tissot a gift? This is shit because it's gold, quartz, and again dauphine hands.

Get something sporty for summer.

>>8795171
Found the Seiko after one of our rents moved out and left it behind, the Tissot was a graduation gift and the other two I bought online for around $20 each.

>>8795181

Good work on $20 for 2 and 4.

Grats on graduation, but I just don't like the watch. $5 movement sold for $500.

Seiko is just plain shit m8.

>>8795091
>Ask /fa/ of course. Post 'em.
Ehh. Really don't want the ones I'm aiming for sniped more than they already are going to be. Was looking for any tells that something might be fake.

>>8795186
Totally agree with you but a gift's a gift and free is free.

And thanks mate, /fa/ isn't so terrible after all.

>TFW you will never, ever, ever, ever, in a thousand fucking years, EVER get this watch

>>8795196

No problem champ. As long as you like what you've got, and you buy what you like, don't worry about what /fa/ or anyone says.

Pic is my collection. A lot won't be to /fa/'s tastes but that's the game you play.

Thinking about getting this one

>>8796109
dope

>>8796333
where from? also 8/10 cause all polished

>>8796336
I bought the watch from Manbushijie, the strap from Aliexpress, not bad at all for its price.

>>8796333
Every so often I'll see a watch with that little guard thing over the dial on the side. Is there a way to take that off without actually damaging the watch? In the pic it looks like there may be little screws on the side.

>>8796353
that's partially the point of having a panerai homage, there are models without it such as pic related

>>8796353
Well, i think it would look strange because the crown is done to be with that guard. Anyway, there are watches with a similar case (Radiomir Case style) but without guard, and with a crown that fits it well.

Here are mine

>>8796109
Too many bells and whistles for my taste. Some nice GMTs exist in the lower price bracket.

>>8795240
and your game is?? a shitty one?

stop reading wus too often and save a bit get nicer watches.

>nope.jpg

>>8798178

The least these fucking fashion watches could do is use some base automatic movement.

>>8798223
But that would ruin their insane profit margins on their 5 dollar movements in a 5 dollar case. It would also confuse the retards who pay hundreds of dollars for these watches when they don't wear it for a while and it stops running.

to my fellow germanfuccbois:

are Junkers Uhren any good?

I really like how they look and they kinda remind me of Emporio Armani lel

family picture, in order of when each was acquired
the indices on the seastar are askew because the outer dial got knocked off of its position. I haven't gotten around to opening it up and pressing it back on.

>>8798530
what is le red bezel watch?

>>8798546
Built it myself. It's an invicta 8926OB with all branding removed. I used an aftermarket rolex bezel from rafflestime, and hands+dial from dagaz. Strap is from cheapestnato.

>>8798561
i regret using the world 'built' because I didn't machine the case or anything but you know what I mean.

>>8798561
>>8798568
Nice job. Your own unique watch.

>>8794456
copped it earlier today.
shit looks nice.

>>8796343
Could I have a link to both? Particularly the strap. I love me some cheap Chinese goodies.

is the Mondaine Evo effay?

>>8798658
Middle school/10

>>8798658

Yes they are. Don't listen to /fa/'s negative opinion on Mondaine because watch threads are full of people autistic about looking like a gentlesir or having a "sick $13 terrorist watch" (a.k.a: I badly want someone to complement this even though I will have nothing to say back).

Out of any watch I have, my Mondaine looks the cleanest, stands out and makes a statement in anything I wear, and has received the most compliments.
So yes, it's effay

>>8798626
Sure, no problem.
http://www.manbushijie.com/productshow-1062-3.html
And I bought the strap from this store, you have plenty:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/100286

Would you think Alain Silberstein makes efffay watches? He is a renamed designer that imprints a very specific style on his designs. I kinda like it very much,

Pic related The Tourbillon Papaya

>>8799237
Another example of his work.

>>8799242
Aaand, one more.

Do any of you guys get compliments of your watches besides from other people who are watch enthusiasts, most people only seem to like watches that are gaudy, and from a generic fashion brand

>>8799351
I do. on a regular basis actually.
>> Feels nice but I always end up shouting myself up and simply saying "thanks"

Guys Whats a good cheap skeleton watch??

>>8799398
Define your standards for "good" and "cheap".

>>8799351
I have a Seiko Monster like pic related. Somebody always compliments the lume or the metal bracelet. The Monster is basically a shiny chunk of metal, and thats probably why people are attracted to it.

>>8799373
What kind of watches are we talking, something conservative or something bright and about 50mm

>>8799417
It is a pretty good looking watch though

>>8799351
I get asked about my invicta mod and my seiko 5 a lot.

>>8799430
Thanks, have some more. I know there's some better looking watches out there, but I just got this thing for its robustness and teeth. For $200, you will be hard pressed to find anything with better quality.

>>8799430
More in the traditional and conservative line (although no quite totally) but the quality is quite noticible after all (AL&S, F.P. Journe, A.P., V.C., JLC, etc...) and this atracts the attetion of my interlocutor.

>>8798658
How much would it cost to cop a classic?

>>8799455
i like it.

>>8795240
>>8795243
Hi m8

>>8799237
>>8799242
>>8799253
I also like Mr. Silberstein designs, specially his colaboration with MB&F.

>>8798530
Hi again m8. Good family picture.
>nice to see that Tissot up and running

>>8799455
The seiko monster and the 007 are the kings of casual IMO,

>>8799457
Chances are you have peers who are familiar with watches and the brands, wealthy people usually have wealthier peers, paupers like myself have friends who are impressed by bright and shiny watches with huge dials

>>8799489
This is true, but also not traditional desings (like my AP Millenary) had been noticed by common folks, The same goes to my JLC.
What do you wear m8? Please share. :-)

Posted in /g/ already, but figured I'd post it here too since the poorfag guide gets posted fairly often here too. These are changes I'll be making in the near future.
>adding bagelsport milgauss
>adding alpha paul newman chronograph

I still need at least two more watches to add as full entries. I'm not intentionally adding watches with designs lifted from luxury watches, it's simply a reality of low-cost watches that they're often not original designs.

>>8799510
I've only got one watch to my name at the moment, this is an orient cosmos. It's not the greatest but it suits my mainly casual wardrobe. I also have a submariner homage coming in the mail. Also how old are you, I'm rather young so I guess that could relate to my peers taste in style

>>8798178
Do not buy a designer watch. You can get much better watches with a decent automatic movement for less money.

>>8799565
I remember you from three or four threads ago, nice to see you again. :-)

I just turned 31. (I'm fucking old, I know)

>>8799577
Yeah I remember you too, watch threads are about the only things I post in these days

>>8799570
Does that watch has an entire dial made of luminiscent material? probably quite useful but I woudn't like to be so noticible in the dark in general.

>>In the cinema.
>>Motherfucking bright circle two rows ahead

>>8799584
Keep doing so. I, for the other part, have begon posting in the other threads of /fa/. It's kinda fun.

>>8799586
Yes the whole dial is painted with paint containing radium.

>>8799601
In normal light I can like it, in darkness, however I think is "too much"

>>8799601
Lume paint doesn't have radium. They haven't used radium in watches for years. These days the only radioactive lume is tritium tubes on certain rarer vintage-style watches.

>>8799656

*Just wanting to share something interesting.

Why did they call you?


BURRRNNNT

Selling, email or inquire within.

Will restore the digital watch if there is interest.

>>8799237

Should I?

>>8795240I

>>8795240

I like them, especially the top-left and top-middle ones.

own this, and it pulls bitches. great conversation piece

>>8800022
I think you should, it looks pretty contemporary, how much is it going to set you back?

>>8795243
Your collection looks like you studied /fa/ watch threads and bought exactly what they told you to

Get some tasteman

None of you faggots have the foresight to see that this will be the only watch that matters once designers start making 3rd party replaceable bands.

>>8800431
apple can't even get the battery life of their iphones right

this watch will last 8 hrs, tops.

>>8800431
I don't even have a smart phone, why would I buy a smart watch. The idea of a watch like that isn't very good at all. It has the same features as a smart phone but is way harder to use. Anyway, watches aren't really about telling the time, it's a piece of jewellery for a man

>>8800431
nope, until they fix the ugly design it is still obsolete

thoughts on rodina?

>>8800431
Maybe when companies other than apple start producing.

>>8800022
By all means.
Great watch.

Can somebody post please as many watch info graphics as possible?

>>8800626
no. use the one you have

/fa/ I need a cheap, decent watch that I can wear everyday to work (army) that has a durable strap and can handle a beating. None of that big, gaudy gshock shit either.

>>8800693
gshock

>>8800460
can someone point me in the direction of a similar watch size, shape and colour scheme but without the 2nd face inside the larger face, without the numbers, if possible. preferably <$500

Still wear the one dad bought me as a present for landing my first job

>>8800776

Part 1

Already posted similar list in the last thread.

Microbrands - Ronda quartz, but with sapphire glass - Brathwait (gold plated) and Rossling (white metal of some sort)

Fashion watches - also quartz, one has to check the specs on his own. Some come with mineral glass, all probably won't age very good - would pick scratches etc., also watch purists would look down on you and probably quartz watches in that cases and with that glasses shouldn't cost that much, but fuck that, these look nice: Skagen, Braun, Laco Absolute (unless you go for the mechanical ones), Void, Uniform Wares

Japanese entry level mechanical watches - Orient or Seiko have some more or less minimalist models, but they are probably more on the dress watch size, like Orient Bambino. They have a fuckton of models each, so I just propose to just browse the stores. In my personal opinion, they just don't make watches in this aesthetics and something would always be wrong (from the standpoint of this aesthetic only) - they'd be with fancy applied indexes, or on a bracelet, or have a bezel, or a hole on them to look at the mechanism or whatnot. They make watches which are better than anything from the previous paragraph, just not in this style. I'd be really happy if anyone proved me wrong. One exception would be Riki Watanabe, I believe Seiko makes them or he uses Seiko movements or something like that, these may be similar to what you look for.

Chineese mechanical watches. Sea-Gull, Shanghai, Beijing factory. First, Sea-Gull makes this Nomos/Stowa clone, Rodina. Then there are some dress watches you would probably like. good-stuffs.com AKA Times International offers a curated list of Chineese watches, all seem to have good feedback on watch forums. All pretty affordable, honest mechanical watches of decent quality.

>>8801205

Part 2

German watches - Laco, Aristo, Archimede, Zeppelin (meh) or even Ruhla, Stowa. Germans are really good at making minimalist timepieces, for what you have you can probably find something with a quartz movement, Miyota or Ronda. I think some Laco Marines, Aristo Dessau, Laco Absolute or Ruhla or Junkers Bauhaus might match your taste and budget. Of these, Ruhla, Junkers and Zeppelin are cheaper but maybe less reputable than the rest. Proper mechanical watches would be $1000-$2000 - Stowa Antea, Junghans Max Bill, Aristo Dessau or Aristo Modern art etc.

More expensive German watches in similar aesthetics are Nomos and Muhle Glasshute. These would be $2000-$5000, I think. Nomos Tangente or Muhle Glasshute M29 Classic.

Then some Swiss watches. Tissot Desire, some Eterna models maybe, and then there is Mondaine, but Mondaine is minimalist AND ugly.

>>8800776
save up a little and get the Nomos Club. I mean you are already almost halfway there and you'd have a super nice watch with a manufacture movement.

The style you are looking for is Bauhaus. You might also like something turning up on 'tool watch' or maybe even 'field watch' queries.

I'll also leave this link here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Watches/comments/1w6kpn/summary_of_bauhaus_style_watches/ - you can hate Reddit all you like but this list is very good and you guys have a fucking wiki and it's a shame it's on Reddit not there, so deal with it.

>>8801251

And this guy is right, I'd just say Stowa Antea/Partitio not Nomos Club.

Here's my choice. Criticise away.

>>8801364

My first choice was this one, though. But it has less and is more expensive.

>>8801370

Looks better IMO.

The power reserve on the first one is ugly, and why would you need seconds like that on otherwise classical watch.

>>8801364
>>8801370
like them both

Ok /fa/, i'm looking for a skeleton watch under 250Euros. I've came across Stuhrling Original watches and i like them, which one should i cop?
pic related

>>8801525
All of them. Sturhling is a very well respected brand that rivals even Swiss watchmakers such as Patek Philippe.

>>8801531
really? i didn't knew that.
However, i'm still undecided. i was thinking to cop 1 and 3 for less than 500 euros, but idk...

>>8801531
kek

>>8801556

He's trolling, and quite fat at that. Don't buy any of these. Skeleton under 250 euro is also nonsense. To make a good skeleton watch, you don't only need a mechanism, but one with perfect finish, and these are expensive, more expensive than that.

still don't get what you're trying to ask for

why do you need this information?

>>8801903

I want to buy a watch without going to a watch shop and the only thing I'm not sure about is how big the watch should be.

I have thin wrists.

>>8801929
why don't you just go to a shop?
when i got mine my mum basically did all the talking so you can't look any more autistic than me
i'm sure people who work in shops would much rather serve a quiet person than an obnoxious asshole

>>8801947
As someone who works in a watch shop, I can confirm this as true.

>>8801929
just grab a compass and draw a 40mm diameter circle on some paper or something, goddamn.

>>8795704

Yeah, this, although I'll admit there are some memes from here I wish I could introduce to WUS. There was a great one about what your watch says about you I thought would rustle some jimmies on the Affordables forum.

Too bad none of them can resist words like "fag" or "fuccboi" somewhere in the text. I ain't posting that shit because I spend more time there than here and don't want to get b&.

>>8801947
>why don't you just go to a shop?

I'm socially awkward and hate situations like these, though I fight hard.

>>8801947
>i'm sure people who work in shops would much rather serve a quiet person than an obnoxious asshole

True.

>>8801959

I did, actually, but is it the face of the watch or the whole thing?

>>8802044
just be clear with what you want and it will be fine
how badly can you fuck up buying a watch?

>>8802058
depends on the watch.

>>8802061

I know I won't fuck up. I went to a watch shop and asked for a specific brand, but they didn't have it. I asked for other shops that might have it. Everything goes fine, I just hate the feels.

>>8802066

Longines.

It's $15 cheaper, I've only had it for just over a month. Just not diggin' it.

>>8802390
you'll be lucky to get half retail for it

Where can I buy Longines for women online without it being retailer shit?

Can you order from a jeweller directly?

>>8802596
>without it being retailer shit?
i dont understand what you mean by this?

>>8802600

Most websites sell watches cheaper because they rub out the serial number, which prevents you from getting it repaired later on or checked.

>>8802610
wut

also, when they rub out the serial number its called grey market

>>8802610
Just buy from a reputable retailer and not some sketchy site. Jeez.

>>8802847

Know of any? Because every site I checked was dodgy.

I've just bought an Omega Seamaster the same as in the pic. This may be a noob question, but is does the watch update the date month to month by itself? Or do I have to adjust it manually each month depending if it's a 28/29/30/31 day month or whatever. Fanks

>>8802880
I believe Goldsmiths sell Longines.

>>8802923
>This may be a noob question, but is does the watch update the date month to month by itself?

AhahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Motherfucker, you're a funny piece of ass!

If it's a mechanical watch, nothing gets done automatically.

That said, once the right month is on, you just wind up the watch, or not, since it's automatic.

>>8802923
It's usually 31 days on the day counter, so you have to adjust the date at the start of each month (unless previous month had 31 days).

>>8802923

>>8802934

What of this website?

>>8802948
I have no experience with that company. Honestly, if you're this worried you should just go to a jewellers.

>>8802942
Wow, adjusting the date once every 4 months is so ooo difficult.

You'll be pulling out the crown to adjust the time much more often than that.

>>8802983

What do you have to do exactly?

>>8802948
What kind of store has "authentic" in its name?

People actually believe this soon-to-be-obsolete brick will upset the luxury Swiss market, as if a Honda Civic will upset Porsche and Maserati. Even in the lower end market, some men just buy watches for their look, feel, and design, not the actual functionality of telling time. How long will the Apple Watch even last as a working tool? It certainly won't be for decades like even a cheapo Seiko automatic can, let alone your luxury Swiss brands, and those even appreciate in value while they literally give iPhones away with contracts.

MWC make pretty nice military watches.

>>8803085
I was being sarcastic.
Plus, nice waterproofing, there's already dust in the case.

cop or not

>>8803087
Look, it's not a watch. I know it's called "Apple Watch", but it's just called a watch because it happens to be worn on your wrist and it can tell time. But other than that they are completely different things. If you think about it as a watch, of course you'll get nowhere. It's like comparing a notebook to, well, a notebook. They are called the same, and they've got obvious similarities, but still, they have different purposes. A smart watch just doesn't need to be made for centuries, why should it? It makes no sense to say "Oh, watches are made to last centuries, but this smart watch will probably cease to work after a few years! It's a bad watch!", of course it's a bad watch, because it isn't a watch. It's like saying "Real notebooks work without any electricity, but this notebook just works for a few hours without electricity! It's a bad notebook!".

I don't know how to explain it properly, whatever, maybe you understand my point.

Stop pretending to be me.
I'm not trying to spare anyone's feelings.

Both >>8803112 and >>8803073 are me.
This isn't reddit, nobody is going to coddle you here, and you certainly can't force coddle anyone else.

Shut the fuck up faggot. You aren't clever.

Where the fuck do you get off impersonating people like that?
And for what?

The argument is that the Apple Watch will specifically upset Swiss luxury watches.

http://online.wsj.com/articles/what-do-the-worlds-top-watchmakers-think-of-apple-watch-1410449406

It doesn't matter what Swiss brands this, the markets are completely non-intersecting. Those who think this means anything to horology, which there definitely are people like that, are idiots.

>>8803293
Nobody said you had to respond, fuckface.

>I often ask other professors around the world how many of their students wear watches. The answer is always the same: “very few.”

That's because they're thinking of the watch in modernity as a tool for telling time, and not a functional piece of jewelry for men to wear. Besides, they're students, they don't have incomes.

do you like it?

What do you y'all think of the Nixon Unit? Specifically the Cosmos edition. I like the layout of the face and the mirror coating makes it look pretty unique. It's a bit big though and you have to press the light button everytime you want to read the face which could get annoying fast.

>>8805538
Different color.

>>8805543
>>8805538
disgusting "OBEY" mall tier douchebag shit, combined somehow with neckbeardyness.

>>8805538
I think if I want novelty watches, China provides them far cheaper than $150.

>>8805563
They honestly never fail to impress me.

>>8805563
Apple Watch for poor people.

>>8800776

There is an $180 version of the Rodina with an improved movement and a seconds hand in the middle without a seconds face.

> answering rodina questions until I abandon thread, because i've owned one since June and they're pretty ok

I just found out that timex makes translucent green fake casios.

>>8806177
Forgot the image
Also not completely 'fake casios' since the times core digital watches have the same design.

>>8806182

Mint lolipop which happens to tell time, lol.

Picrelated looks more expensive though.

>>8806182
>$80 for that

Absolute perfection

thinking of copping Moonwatch for 2k ~ worth it?

>also any other good watches in the 2k range

>>8806558
moonwatch is an essential part of any good collection, definitely cop

>>8806558
Don't, everyone has it.

>>8806567
What you recommend then? In the 2k range of course..

>>8806567
>implying this is a good reason not to buy a classic timepiece

tbh

Gold or silver? What's the rule of thumb here? 20 y/o light skin

>>8806592
don't buy anything gold unless it's solid

>>8806592
Gold only looks good on swarthy people

>>8806579
really nice!

i recently copped a seiko 5 but i cant stand the canvas strap, what would be a good alternative? black leather?

>>8805524


>>8806978

Nato..

>>8806998
Is there any difference in the quality of NATO bands or are they all generally the same?

>>8807030

Different qualitty too, just google it.

>>8807030
The cheap ones for a few dollars off eBay aren't that bad. Any kind of NATO is basically disposable though, the same as a leather strap, but with a shorter lifespan.

>>8807058
I wish I could fine NATO bands with the same design variety as dog collars.

>>8807058
Getting one off of eBay even is a PITA unless you just swallow the retail price.

>>8798561
that shit is beautiful son, how much would you say you spent on it?

cop or not?

>>8807671
no

>>8806592
Always predominantly silver

love this watch

Can only black folk pull off gold well?

>>8803059
this faggot will be the new meme succeeding the patek i-got-accepted-by-first-chosen-uni faggot

>>8807834
Depends on how white you are and what kind of gold watch.

>>8803165
cop. no branding. like it.

>>8807858
you sure are salty, someone with a rolex rape your mom?

>>8806571

There are, in my mind, only a couple things in the $2k range worth a damn

Nomos Glashutte (which are watch nerd favourites and also "too common" imo and not that much of a step up from an ETA)

And the Frederique Constant Slim-line Moonphase

You might be able to get some kinda other used Omega in there, too

How do you guys deal with nicks on the crystal short of a full replacement?

My Vostok has taken quite a few doors to the face.

>>8808087
a full replacement is the best option

>>8807877
salty of fake rolex?

stay pleb, you bitchass nigga

It's not fake you fuckbucket. Please provide evidence to back up your claims.

>>8808087
>babying a fucking Russian watch

Russian stuff is meant to wear down.

>>8808087
Toothpaste + rag + an hour of rubbing
Start with fine sandpaper if it's really bad.

>>8807181
$80 for the watch, $60 for the dial and hands, $12 for the bezel and $20 for the strap.

Wind once, lasts all day son. 17 jewels, such envy. Jealous it makes little boys.

>>8808360
I honestly don't like it, but I can see how some people would.

Do they make anything like a cellphone face guard for watches?

>>8808375
No. Buy a real watch with a sapphire crystal and you don't need anything like that.

>>8808380
>No. Buy a real watch with a sapphire crystal and you don't need anything like that.
I'm a poorfag. Little chance of that.

>>8808360
Did you put your watch on your dick? Your wrist looks like a foreskin

>>8808422
You don't have to spend the earth. You could also have the plastic/glass/mineral crystal replaced with sapphire by a watch repairman.

>>8808431
I'm tan, lavish lifesteyle. I'm extreme, scratched crystal. I'm rich 17 JEWELS!

>>8808360
So 17 jewels is good? Then these Indian watches I've been buying are good? What about the 21 jewel ones?

>>8806633
>Gold only looks good on swarthy people
Agreed

>don't buy anything gold unless it's solid
Agreed.

>>8808637
Read about it on wikipedia.

>>8794431
Both are gorgeous. I like the white dial with a brown leather strap and the black dial with black leather strap.
