It's a fashion watch. It is a good accessory, but people who actually care about horology will probably look down on you for it.

>>9789108
It's an ugly piece of shit.

Looking for a Submariner homage, probably copping the Steinhart Ocean One when I get paid in a couple weeks, unless there's anything else in that price range which is better, does anyone know anything?

Was just given a PR50 by my grandfather. It's a 12-year old model, but I like it's simplicity. Is it /fa/?

Ok smartass, is it 10:08 in that photo? 10:09? Could you tell at a glance? In a dimly lit room? In total darkness?

If a watch can barely accomplish its single primary function then it's shit and you might as well just wear a plain faggot bracelet.

>>9790036
Can't go wrong with Orient

Someone last thread asked how much I paid for my old Speedmaster, pic related. $1600, but I'm hoping to move it and pick up an old vintage Explorer. I might even do a trade+cash deal for the Explorer, which would be the easiest.

>>9790148
Explorers are cool I guess but they're so damn plain.

Someone else was asking about buying a movement and fitting it to a case and just how feasible that is. I'd recommend against it unless you know for sure that the movement will fit the case. If the distance from where the dial rests against the front of the case back to where the stem goes in to the movement isn't just right, the hole in the case for the stem and the spot where it goes in to the movement won't line up and there'll be no way to get the movement to sit properly. If you want some sort of project watch, buy an Asian 2824 clone. Dials, hands and cases are plentiful for 2824s. Pic related is a watch that I cobbled together, although it required a bit more work as it uses an A. Schild 1913 movement with all the other parts being for a 2824.

>>9790179
I love plain watches, I wear my old Tudor Oysterdate almost every day. The Mark II is just a bit too much for me it seems.

In other news, I'm in the background of a video. Does that make me internet famous yet? http://ifixit.org/blog/7168/watchmaker/

>>9790184
I think your oysterdate is really nice, I guess the problem is that explorers look like naked stripped down subs to me. They just look like they're missing something and they aren't dressy enough to be so simple, if that makes sense.

>>9789906
>nice watch
Then post one.

>>9789806
Any opinions about this?

>>9789875

Why do you want to be scammed?

>>9789944
why would anyone buy such a disgusting fake

>>9789108
need to use "watches" in the title so it shows up properly on search

>>9789806
I don't like the gold/silver contrast. I'd rather see only one metal or at least either white gold/silver or something like rose gold/copper. Other than that complaint I think it's a pretty design.

>>9790708
Not bad for a free watch, I guess? It's my first ever, so I'm pretty happy with it.

>>9789108
I saw one in person the other day, they really don't look as good in person. That being said there is no second hand and those vestigial indices look like shit. The silver on silver and un-lumed hands would make it impossible to see at night. 2/10 would not cop

Thoughts?

>>9790830
Not a fan of Roman numerals

>>9790036
If you like the design go for it. Orient is king of cheap automatics.

Any of you ever try going vintage?

any luck?

>>9790830
take a look at the new ones they put out

Cop or not?

>>9790888
If you're buying off of eBay, there's a good chance it won't be in good running condition. Pretty much everything I've bought was improved by a good service.

>>9790148
You'd be much better off with the RolExp. The Mark II looks way too 1970's and doesn't have as much retro charm as you probably thought when you bought it.

The Exp, particularly the 1016 and earlier models are much more versatile and better-looking. (Avoid 5500 Explorers, though, those are almost always Air Kings with a repro dial.)

>>9790925
oh yeah I dig that, probably will cop

>>9790926
If you like it go for it I guess, I like that timex doesn't pretend to be a luxury brand. they're decent quartz watches.

Cop or nah?

>>9790888
The problem with the vintage watches on eBay is that they are very often cobbled together from a mishmash of parts. It may be a functioning watch, but as a collector, they are basically worthless. Of course, there are plenty of very, very good pieces out there, but they're usually very pricey because assurance of provenance costs.

Pictured is my own vintage piece, a Bulova that my grandfather bought shortly after coming home from the Pacific in WW2. It's very small, as you can see. I don't usually wear it, since yellow gold doesn't go well with my skin tone.

>>9790968
pretty nice imo

>>9790969
Yeah, I'll take your advice on that. Not too interested as a collector but good to know, just wanting that classic look and reliability

Really nice piece btw.

>>9789884
Not him but bracelets are for fags. Watches these days are worn for fashion and its the only acceptable accesory for men, telling time is secondary because we always have our phones anyway.

Also this is /fa/

>>9790830
Looks neat. Cop

>>9790888
Servicing can be pretty expensive but vintage omegas are great watches and they're beautiful. I inherited mine so I didn't have to hunt through ebay but good luck with that, make sure you do your homework thoroughly before you buy some frankensteined mess or a watch that's falling apart and wait a while if you need to until something good comes up for sale.

If it needs servicing (it probably does) then I mailed mine to Govberg watch repair and it was expensive and it took a long time but they did a pretty good job and used real omega replacement parts where necessary. I don't know any other good places but I'm sure there's a lot, maybe you can find one where you live so you don't have to mail it off.

I also bought a vintage Seiko king quartz, if you're not too much of a snob to buy quartz then those are a lot easier since they're less delicate and you can get a hell of a high end watch for cheap because everyone turns up their noses at quartz.

>>9790036
What model orient is this? Google keeps thinking its a Seiko.

>>9791032
Longines is legendary for their support of antique/vintage/discontinued models.

A friend of mine has a gold Longines chrono from the late 50's which needed service. He sent it into to Longines and they didn't have a;; of the spare parts on hand so they actually hand-made the replacement parts that his movement needed.

It cost a fair amount, but there aren't too many companies out there that are willing to service all of their watches, regardless of how long ago they were made. Compare this to Rolex, which won't service watches over 30 years old, or Seiko, which stops producing spare parts for models that are over ten years old.

Moved to the new thread.

Sub C "Hulk" Ref. 116610 & GMT Master II "Batman" Ref. 116710

>>9791167
Omega supposedly does a very good job too but they're expensive and they don't give a shit about keeping your watch in all original collector condition. They'll fix it until it looks brand new again which is nice I guess, but it means they replace half the parts in your watch even if it isn't really necessary.

>>9791249
>Rolex

>>9791249
Should've bought a 14060M and a 1675. That GMT is pretty nice, though, and I'm sure you're enjoying the ceramic and the glidelock stuff.

>>9791324
Bad idea. It looks better with the riveted 7206 that it came with in the first place.

A vintage Rolex would look out of place with the chunkier modern Oyster.

>>9791334
How about blue leather nato on a pepsi (or all blue)?

>>9791337
I'm not into NATOs, sorry, but a blue leather strap, perhaps in something textured like sharkskin or gator, would look pretty cool on a Pepsi.

>>9791345
>leather on diver
I guess it's kind of okay on the gmt since it's not primarly a diver and I'm kind of grasping with the nato > leather.
But still.

>>9791389
I've felt it. It feels just like...a rubber strap.

The only rubber strap that I've ever worn that felt different from every other rubber strap was the one that came with the original Hublot in the 1980s. I have one that's nearly 30 years old and still has that subtle vanilla scent.

Sup people. So I've been sporting my vintage Omega for over a year now and I thought it was time to add another watch for my collection. I was thinking about the Hamilton Khaki King II Automatic. What are your thoughts?

Copped some HMT Sonas off ebay, what do you goys think? Havent recieved them yet though. This one and a similar one just with a gold dial.

>>9793526
That's funny, but I really don't give a shit what the help thinks, let alone the kids who are training for a shot at becoming the help.

I'm thinking about getting a Vostok Amphibia as a first diver watch, but I'm a bit insecure because it might be a little bit fedora-tier. Just look this video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L025vVwKijo

>>9794104
If you want a good quality diver that is not fedora core (and is a reliable watch to boot) check out the Orange Monster from Seiko.

It's cheap, moddable, comes with a great bracelet and truly great lume

>>9794171
Or if you want something almost as good in every way, even more moddable, and less obnoxious and loud there's the SKX007.

>>9794171
Sorry m8, but that's just hideous compared to pic related.

>>9794201
What is the fascination with Russian watches beyond the fact that they are cheap as dirt and not-Swiss?

>>9793649
Quality is going to be different on all of them, but I'll post this as a fair warning. This is what a properly oiled jewel from a Longines I was working on looks like. No debris in it, no oil on the flats, just a nice clean jewel.

>>9792245
have you removed the citizen eco drive label?

>>9794266
And this is one of the jewels of an HMT I bought off of eBay. Seriously, it was that bad. I actually got the movement running, but only barely. Keeps time to about a minute a day.

>>9794042
Well I didn't get interviewed, but I am in the background a few times, I can tell you that much.

What's the most functional watch in your opinion? I don't really care for bad aesthetics unless the design is a hindrance, I just want a good, quality watch that is basically the swiss army knife of watches.

>>9792245
nice ms paint edit

>>9794241
There are many reasons:
1. It's a way of standing out of the crowd because they are not common outside of Russia, so it's kind of unique.
2. They are cheap but they are well built and meant to resist
2. Movements are very solid and precise
3. Cyrillic letters give them an extra "coolness" and make them eye-catching
4. The interesting history behind these watches. The Vostok factory made watches for the red army back in the 2. World War

>>9794289
Probably a digital watch with ABC (altimeter/barometer/compass) plus all sorts of alarms and timers and stuff. So something like a Suunto or some of the G-shocks.

Personally all I need is an automatic diver. I don't need any additional stuff and the ruggedness and water resistance is the only extra feature I really need and use.

What do you guys think about smart watches?

My fianceé wants to get me a watch as a wedding gift and Ive been looking at sinn aviators for a while. Like 1,500 to 2,000. Sweeping hand. German built (better than swiss at this price range, in house movement unlike tags). Are they /fa/ approved? I'm leaning towards the one in the middle.

>>9795191
They generally look pretty good, but some of them are uggos, in my opinion.

>>9794533

>Attention Seeking Faggot: Wrist Edition

That being said I like the moto 360 the more than any other smart watch. Pebble being a close second. But I would never wear one. It something a sad guy pushing 40 wears and hope someone notices and strikes a conversation about how neat they are. Usually another sad guy pushing 40.

>Apple watch included

>>9795191
I agree with the previous comment.
You do know that there's both stainless and PVD versions as well as UTC (second time zone on fourth hand) and non-UTC of it right?
Though the non-utc is pretty much a more expensive barely bigger 556A (pic related) though.

>>9795197

Would it be a piece I'd be happy with for the rest of my life or when I'm out of my 20's will I be wondering what the fuck I was thinking?

I hate busy watch hands. IMO the ugliest fucking watches in the world are breitlings. Theyre designers need to be shot. And some sinns really get busy so I thought I would settle on the luftwaffe MT inner circle. Plus I could feel a little bit cheeky wearing a nazi watch.

Sinn's definitely have a classic, timeless style that will maintain their rugged good looks for a long time.

opinions, /fa/

>>9795223

Hey bud

I wanna tell you something and I'm gonna preface my warning with the fact that I am a cockmongling Sinn shill. I love their Nazi engineering skills and attention to nice design with rugged performance

BUT-
Don't get the tegiment coating if you intend to beat the shit out of your watch. The standard 316L steel is hardly the best but iit'll eat shit and dent fine, you can brush it out later. With tegiment, it'll gouge like a bitch and you'll see the steel through the layer. No fixing it. I love muh 856 and its dehumidifier technology but the tegiment just doesn't work for keeping the watxh in good shape. Double that for the PVD coated versions, you're gonna lose the black coating AND tegiment if you ever wear them for moderate activities. Even a hard fall to the floor can scratch the "iinvincible" tegiment

I'm now in a funny situation where my 856 is my beater and my Damasko is my more coddled tool watch. It's amusing because imo Damaskos steel can eat shit and not dent like a champ. Their Damest coating is also about 10x as strong as regular DLC and won't scratch in impressive circumstances. BUT it CAN and Will scratch at some point

I wish there was a beater watch packing a chronometer 2824, Damaskos steel, and Signs dehumidification technology that would be ideal. But for now if you want a true beater, I have to say: go Damasko, or just go and get a Sinn 556 because that's cheaper and at least you can fix it. Or a discontinued 656 if you want 1000 gauss antimagnetic protection

>>9789108
too much money for that shitty quartz!

>>9795437
Not bad, but definitely not the Hamilton I would've gone with.

>>9795434
That looks like a big pile of dookie

Should I get the 43mm or the 40mm? I have 7.5" wrists.

>>9796068

With your wrist size you could pull off a bigger watch. With a simple kind of dressy watch like that though definitely go smaller.

>>9791448
You realize it's not a rubber strap, right?

Because that's a big deal.

Those are all pretty solid, but if you want more options then check out the various midrange and higher end Japan-only Seiko divers on a site like seiyajapan, or there's the Tudor Pelagos which is super cool (Tudor is Rolex's slightly cheaper line), or there's the Squale 20 Atmos if you want a submariner homage similar to the Steinhart but a bit smaller and more faithful to the original.

I think I'm going to buy this watch soon. Cop or not? I think I like the pepsi bezel better, but there's also an optional ceramic bezel but it only comes in black. I've never seen a ceramic bezel in person so I don't know if I would like the shiny finish and I don't know if the ceramic is worth it if I don't like the color as much.

>>9796918

>>9794275

Have you fucked Katy yet? If not, why not? She's a qt.

Also that HMT jewel is disgusting. I bed the oil smelled like curry too.

>>9796068

Definitely 40. 43 will wear quite large, even on your wrist, because of how thin the bezel is.

Plus, for the 'dressier' style you'll always want to go smaller. 40 should be your sweet spot imo, with 42 being the limit for sportier watches.

>>9796188
Mine's better.

>>9796918
ignore the faggot that talked shit, this looks like a great watch.

>>9794533
I enjoy mine. Honestly with the bezel on the GWR people don't even realize its a smart watch until I tell them after they go "thats a cool looking watch". Plus, being able to put any watch face you want on it whenever you want is nice.

>>9797152
>>9797157
Ok Archie thanks for the opinion. Anything useful to add, especially regarding my question about the different bezel inserts?

Also does anyone have any experience with the ETA 2893? Seems like it's effectively a 2824 with a GMT hand slapped on, so I imagine it's about as good and should be almost as easy to get serviced and all that. It would actually be my first ETA movement.

>>9797058
But your bracelet is gay as fuck.

>>9797197
the shiny ceramic is worth it trust me and its extremely durable but I doubt Steinhart's inserts are actually real ceramic....get a MAN ON THE MOOOON! also 2893 is a true GMT movement

>>9797219
My friend made it though.

>>9795385
>>9795434

>>9797274

You make me sick.

>>9797318
You wanna fucking fight?

>>9797307
I'm sorry, do you not have any friends?

>>9797239
It's real ceramic, why wouldn't it be? It's not some rare unobtanium, I have plenty of coffee mugs lying around which are made of something pretty similar. I haven't found any good comparisons of Steinhart to more expensive ceramic watches but it does seem to be the real deal and it's definitely not actually made out of recycled coffee mugs.

I just really wish the ceramic bezels came in pepsi, but apparently that's a pretty hard color combination to make. Even Rolex only recently got as close as ugly off-red and purplish blue.

Not sure what you mean by true GMT, it seems to be the type where you can adjust the 24hr hand independent of the others. That's not the same as the Rolex/Omega movements which adjust the 12hr hand independent of the others which seems more "true GMT" to me since the 24hr hand is presumably meant to be set to GMT time and never changed. Both types can accomplish the same thing though, I guess.

>>9797345
Ooh, Rolex GMT Master II 18k white gold Ceremic Bezel. My absolute dream watch.

Every thread I have to repeat basically the same thing. Do not buy cheap black or gold coated watches. The coating will wear off quickly and the watch will look like shit. Also don't buy Nixon. If you want a cheap quartz watch buy Seiko/Citizen/Casio/Timex.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>>9797423
Sorry if i sound redundant but, if i have to stay away from black and gold coated watches, what about the silver ones?
I found this timex for 38$
Is it worth it?
Also found a seiko
Will be posting it shortly

>>9797548
It still has black coating, bruh.

>>9797485
>openly parade job under name

Kek who.cares bro it's literally shitposting >>9797502

>>9797548

No, no cheap watches with any color coatings. Just by a fucking normal stainless steel watch.

>>9797548
The reason to never buy cheap watches with coatings is because they are covered with PVD. PVD isn't inherently bad, but when it's done by small children for cents then it's going to flake. Only higher end companies like Sinn make PVD worth a damn, and even that willnscratch with hard use

>>9797558
Ok what about this
It was 200$
Now its 70$
Should i buy it or not?

>>9797584

That one's fine, if you like it go ahead and buy it.

>>9796318
TBH I would pick a watch that floats or is easily replaceable should you drop it.

>>9797662
Er why would it fall off of your wrist?

>>9797681
The pins in the bracelet can come out, clasps can not be in properly, you can catch the clasp and open it up. Someone once posted a thread on how they lost a Rolex there dad gave them while diving

Which one /fa/?

>>9797737

Is Fossil a shit brand or something? I never see it mentioned in watch threads.

I got a fossil watch as a present and I think it looks really good.

pic related is the one I got

>>9797760
They are overpriced, they have slim to no prestige. They aren't really that bad, nothing to be proud of, better alternatives could be found for the price

>>9797578
>not posting Britbongistani version
U wot m8?

>>9797704
That can be due to age, though
To be totally honest though it seems like Fisherman anon has some disposable cash, therefore I'd say a reasonable option would be a Made in Grorious Japan 007 diver with aftermarket Super Oyster bracelet, which are virtually indestructible. And if he somehow breaks and loses it, no great mischief because he can get the whole package again for just about $400 or less

>>9797742
>That arrow
Why

>>9797058
Well ignore that other dickhead, I'm the anon who posted the Neptune photo. Nice blue one, that's the GOAT color for sure. How much did you shell out for it?

>>9797584

As long as the one you get has the date properly aligned. I'm surprised they used such a shit photo.

>>9797760

Whilst following my grill around Nordstrom, I stopped at the "watch" counter. The lady handed me a Fossil chronograph that wasn't actually a chronograph. The pushers did not depress, and the hands on the subdials weren't actually attached to a mechanism.

>mfw

>>9798584
Absolutely disgusting

>>9798584
I have a fossil chrono which is actually mostly functional, but the big seconds hand is the running seconds and the smaller seconds subdial is the chrono seconds. That would be a little weird but fine I guess, except there's also a tachymeter bezel which is 100% useless because it's on the running seconds.

I'm not sure if the people designing the watch had never actually seen a chronograph and had no idea what they were doing, or if they did it on purpose because the typical normies buying fossils would be unable to comprehend why the second hand didn't move.

>>9789884
Get a digital watch if you want to tell time down to exact minute, you fucking autist.

>>9798298
$200.

>tfw cant find exact dream watch anywhere

>>9798626
Isn't the Air king just a no-date Datejust?
Though I've seen Air kings with date too..

>>9797737
lel, Sandoz laboratories was the name of the place that used to make all the legal LSD until it was outlawed.

both watches are ugly as shit. either one would normally be seen on a track-suited slavic guido.

>>9798632
I think that specific watch is a Datejust, but you're right.
The Airking really looks like a no-date datejust.

>>9798666
It says Datejust right on the watch..
However I can't find that watch or even a replica of it

>>9798652
I think it'd look way better if the bezel wasnt textured like that or whatever you may call it. Too much going on and it doesnt really fit the rest of the watch

>>9792924
>rolex
>classy

Hahaha ok.

>>9789806
Sorry for bumping this again, but finally got them today. Although it's small I think it looks pretty neat.

>>9798986
It's important that you think it's beautiful.
I like the watchmakers 4.

>>9799231
It is beautiful indeed. I'm really sorry, I might be a noob, but what do you mean by "watchmakers 4"?

>>9799345
IIII rather than IV

>>9799416
Oh, it's fine the way it is in my opinion. I can't believe how happy I actually am just because of a watch.

Easy best watch in thread

>>9799537
I legitimately thought that was an apple watch from the thumbnail

>>9799550
looks really good on the wrist although a bit pleb...
bought it for 150 dollars two years ago from Swatch

>>9799537
>>9799573
>150$
:')

>>9799595
You see the three lines at the bottom? its a touch interface to switch functions.
It can support up to 3 different timezones, I have mine set for NY (where I live) and Paris (originally from). Alarm, stopwatch, timer, calendar...
I did not get it off my wrist for 2 years and thing barely shows any sign of wear...
Honestly it paid off in compliments and if I want to be a little more serious I would put my "serious" Swatch. pic related.

>>9799573
>150 dollars

>>9792138
where did u get that bezel?

>>9795149
Hey fatty boombah.

gonna buy this for swamp adventures

>>9800036
what model of seiko is that?

>>9800068
SARB017 Owlpenis

>>9800075
oh ok faget

>>9800088

>>9799750
Looks like he stole it from Seiko and then filed off some of the inside to make it fit (look at the inside tip of the triangle). That said, it actually looks pretty great. Assuming it really is just an original SKX007 bezel then you can buy those from Dagaz or probably anywhere else that sells parts for modding 007s.

>>9799750
Custom bezel, Seiko insert
>>9800130
>filed off some of the inside to make it fit
No.
>look at the inside tip of the triangle
That's the curved crystal in the way.

>>9800178
why are you modding a $25 watch?

>>9800201
Why are you always such a chucklefuck?

>>9796618
>No A. Lange & Söhne
I would replace VC with that.

>>9800268

I'd replace AP before Vacheron.

>>9800201
>Stop having hobbies

Funny thing is you still have yet to post a single watch

Just got this.

Be gentle...

>>9800430
>raymond weil

could have gone longines at that price range
but at least you bought from a watch house instead of some fashion brand

>>9800487

Raymond Weil is pretty much a fashion brand these days imo.

Speaking of, what does /fa/ think of Raymond Weil's latest creation? A Tourbillon with (so far) undisclosed movement manufacturer ;-)

MUH CARBEN FOIBAH. Why anyone would drop $40k on this I don't know. They're not going to be changing any markets with this and anyone who buys it is literally spending $40k for the novelty of having a tourbillon.

That's entry Patek and ALS money right there. Or a decent collection of watches from the greatest watch house of all time; JLC.

>>9800753
You can get a used annual calendar chronograph for half that or even a tourbillon chronograph for about the same.
Based pre-owned Blancplain.
I also find that Raymond Weil looks a lot like the GP three bridges.
Meanwhile, chinese tourbillons are down to sub-500$

>>9800801

You're right about the GP bridges. But the design was inspired by a cello and its f shaped acoustic holes. I have no idea what they're actually called.

Good point on Blancpain. Definitely a better option.

Definitely, they're getting very cheap. I understand there is a lot of hand finishing on the higher end tourbillons, but is there really any reason other than 'muh tourbillon' for a tourbillon to cost as much as they do? Is it some gentleman's agreement among high end watchmakers to charge a high premium? The Tourbillon Tax?

It's a cool complication but something I'd never be interested in having unless I was very wealthy. As in, capacity to drop $100k without batting an eye.

>>9797423
this is true that they wear. ive worn the Nixon 51-30 daily for the past year and a half and the finish is starting to wear off the one side of the band. doesnt look like shit though, you wouldnt see it without looking

i like it though. got it half price and im a pretty big guy so the large face suits me, get compliments all the time

>>9795149
Is this fake? I've been suspecting it as soon as she handed it to me. I have another MK watch that's real, but I'm not an expert on watches anyway. Any input will calm my anger.

>>9801025
It's a horrible blinged out piece of shit anyway whether it's real or fake. Why don't you ask her?

>>9801025
>anger
bitch your mother gave that to you. how bout some fuckin appreciation instead of wondering if its fake?

>>9801034
I did ask her. She says it's real. But while looking at it, I don't really believe her.

>>9801037
I truly do appreciate it, but at the same time I can't shake the fact that she bought it for $45...

Where can I get a minimal gray watch like the OP, but for a bit less?

>>9801037
Dude, did you even look at it?

>>9801048
It's a shitty quartz fashion watch with fake diamonds all over it, $45 sounds like more than enough.

>>9801052

rossling and co

>>9801089

Thanks!

>>9800430
Looks like a Cartier Santos that stopped trying. Get a refund, anon. You can seriously, seriously do better.

>>9801141
B-but much swiss silver rectangles

>>9798620
Ahhhh you bastard, mine was $300 and it wasn't even the blue colorway. I hadn't seen any online after like a year of searching, so I decided to spring for it

>>9800130
Excuse me but is that watch still in production? If so, where can I cop? If it is not still in production, where can I find one used besides eBay or other auction sites? Please I have a mighty need.

>>9802162
It's an SKX007, they're in production and cheap and great and everybody has one and so should you. The bracelet it comes with is shit, the one in that photo is sold on Amazon and it's called a Super Oyster and it's also very nice, you should buy that too if you get the watch.

>>9796068
How do i measure my wrist?
A tape measure?

>>9802222
Wrap a piece of string around your wrist slightly loosely and then lay it flat and measure with a ruler.

>>9800268
Lange isn't swiss so can't be in the Swiss trinity

poorfag here. got this in the mail today, it's much nicer than I expected

>>9802413
Should have gotten a g shock

>>9802235
Say my wrist is 7 inches.
what size watch should i get?
Im a newb ay watches so sorry.
say its below that?
When is the watch too big To look nice?

>>9802604
7 inch isn't a bitch wrist, 45mm is the limit for anyone I think, more is just too big, it's up to you though, get what you like

>>9802604

Arguably the most important thing with watch sizes is the lug to lug measurement. That's the 46mm in the picture if you don't know. You want to make sure that measurement is going to sit completely on your wrist and not hang over. If it'll hang over that means the watch is going to be too damn big for you.

>>9802631
>>9802617
>>9802617
Thx guys.

>>9802659
Do me a favour and don't let some faggot who does nothing but post about watches on the internet too much influence your life too much, please do as you wish and only come hear for guidance

>>9802665
Yea i know bro, ive been on 4chan for a while and this is one of the few times i ever posted on /fa/
I just like to see what people here consider fashion.
and if there is any way to improve or stay away from.
Well i started off with a 10$ casio watch just to fuck with it.
then i slowly got curious about watches.
thx for the advice dude.

Not a huge fan of watches that are too minimalist, but I think this one isn't too hectic, opinions? £60

>>9802696
Not a bad watch but personally,i dont like when there is too much stuff going on.

>>9802701
Yeah, I'm looking for something similar that doesn't have the three little dials but no luck yet

>>9802696

Don't buy rotary. Had a rotary skeleton automatic.

Had to have it replaced three times because it just stopped working. The weight kept poping off.

>>9802709
You may have had a bad experience, I've had a Rotary watch for a good 4 years now and not a single issue. It also comes with life time guarantee, though I don't know if that's all models or just certain ones

i dig mine personally. really old pic of mine

Should I get the SKX007 in 46mm or 42mm?
I'm thinking 46 will look ridiculous.

>>9802604
Here's a rule of thumb:

Take your wrist size, convert to mm, then divide by the case diameter.

Ideally you want your answer to be between 4 and 5. Below 4, it's too big; above 5, it's too small.

>>9802729

What? This is literally the first I've ever heard of multiple case sizes for the 007.

>>9802729
>>9802739

007 is 42. It has never come in 46. There is a smaller version available (38 I think), but it isn't a "007". Different code.

Get the 42 as it's more readily available for purchase, which makes it easier to do hectic sick mawdz

Opinions on Pulsar? Not seem them mentioned much here. Anyone bought a Pulsar watch before? How was it?

>>9802746

PJN299X1 and its variants or bust nigga

>>9802746
Pulsars are budget Seikos, which is redundant because Seikos are already pretty cheap.

What does /fa/ think of this?

>>9802753
Way too much going on, looks repulsive

>>9802757
It's also a wrist clock at 46mm.

Are there any similar watches to this? I've been searching and searching but I can't find anything even close to this watch. Would be nice to find an automatic or water resistant one, but seems like there are none.

Guess I'll just buy this one unless there is some glaring issue with it.

>>9802769
Timex Waterbury

>>9802753

Ugly as shit just like their other two watches.

>>9802773
The dial looks really cluttered, and it has the same water resistance as the Helgray (5 ATM)

>>9802739
>>9802743
http://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SKX007K2-Divers-Automatic-Watch/dp/B000B5OD4I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1430815546&sr=8-2&keywords=skx007

SKX007K2 is also SKX007

Should I? I don't really want to go much over 1500.

>>9802753
Fun, but ugly as shit.

>>9802788
I think that watch is very hard to pull off.

>>9802783

That's probably the measurement with the crown which is the wrong way to do it.

>>9792287
>claims to be a luxury connoisseur
>won't spent a 25 cents to have a rat gnaw that thing off the side of his head

I plan on pairing it with this. I have dark olive skin, and generally wear a lot of off whites and browns. I think I can make it work.

>>9802783

Look up the K2 on any other website and you'll see it's listed as 42-43. The K2 denotes the SS bracelet I think. Could be way off with that though.

>>9802788

> case that wide
> hands don't even come CLOSE to the edge

What the fuck is this? I bed it's bigger than 42mm. Money's on 44.

just received this from Ali, ~20 days China to aus on free shipping. so happy with it.

>>9802933

Yes I read that soon after posting. What are your thoughts lawbro? You've the capacity to buy one I imagine. Would you? I'm assuming not given your tastes, but would the complication draw you in?

>>9802852
>>9802866
>>9802898

What the fuck. Isn't DW like a year old or some shit? I just looked it up and they have hundreds of thousands of likes on facebook. Jesus christ weren't those pieces of shit a kickstarter campaign last year?

How does that even happen for something so shit?

>>9803018
> hundreds of thousands of likes
buying fb likes in bulk is a norm for startup businesses that cater to social media hipsters.
I remember reading somewhere that the rate is around $2k for 50k likes.

>>9803049
Sauce? Interested in hearing more; frankly a little relieved at least some of those likes are BS though it makes me kek tens of thousands aren't.

How did DW sell so well? Simple. Easy maymays design without brains catered to hipster retards who don't know any better

>>9803062
the practice is pretty well known. A friend of mine who does tumblr tshirts and merchandise told me about it way back in 2011.
A quick google search shows plenty of sites advertising. If you dig deeper you can find some chink/e.european sellers that offer likes from decorated legit-looking profiles instead of shoddy just-name-and-no-picture ones.

>>9798272
It's called design fuckwit. Don't you fucking dare question Omegas perfect design.

wat do people think about Ulysse Nardin Classico Enamel watches?

>>9803018
They're pushed pretty hard by literally any shitty fashion blog over here in Norway. There's a discount code on a ton of them.

>>9803200
>Omegas perfect design

Hahhaha! Literally 99% of their watches looks like they're designed by kindergarteners.

>>9797356
It's pretty good.

>>9803591

>>9804031
Not b8, but I did leave 1% for okay looking watches.

Was supposed to get this Bulova Precisionist in the mail, (pic) but got this instead (pic to follow)

Post2:

I don't understand?

>>9804102

What happened?

>>9804102
Sell the Longines and buy another Bulova from another dealer, keep the money.

>>9804106

Estimate worth? (The bulova was 118$)

>>9804112
Write down what it says on the back, I can't really tell.
But considering pic related it is looking good for you.

>>9804123

Assuming it's not a fake in any way, I suppose so.

I question due to the mechanism displaying L 629 1 and the case saying L1.620.3.

Also, just started to appreciate watches. :(

Is there a way to verify? (Watch specialist of some kind i guess?)

>>9804149
Go to your local jeweler/watchmaker, I'm sure they will help you.
