nope.

the watch market just keeps automatics in luxurywatch tier but that happens for certain reasons that hold no significance to me personally.

got my new swatch in the mail today. barely remember the last one I bought as a teen way back but it's great. that silicone strap is so comfy, very light-weight, it has day/date, nice lume. doesn't even tick as loudly as some people on amazon always say about them. it's not unpleasant or noticeable. can really recommend getting one if you want something cheap, good-looking but has great quality. paid about 50 eurobucks but this is without shipping.

only downside is not even the fault of the watch: I noticed a very small mark some retard left on the plastic case, probably while adjusting time and date but it's barely even noticable and only in certain lighting conditions. so no need to send it back yet. I just don't want to blame stuff like that on the plastic case.

Buying a mechanical watch is the same as buying a $50 white tshirt. It's overpriced, only slightly superior in quality (saphire glass and better metal on the casing are more durable than what a swatch or timex will offer) and a layman won't even notice.

Yet people buy them because it's important for them. You pay for exclusivity and the feeling, not only the product.

[Anonymous No.10299359]

>>10299343
none of that is wrong, since I even own automatic watches too but feelings about stuff you own come from your individual relationship with it. everything is a product in the end and nothing is prone to disaster or getting broken so I'd rather have something that can be easily replaced although I totally get what you say.

It's not like battery for quartz watch is super expensive anyway, it's also not hard to change the battery either, which will last for quite a long time before it runs out of power.

[Anonymous No.10300003]

>>10299792
The pie-pan shaped dial and star at 6 o'clock and the fluted bezel are all throwbacks to the Constellation watches which were beautiful and probably some of the best watches Omega ever made. I agree that that watch is really ugly though, Omega really fucked it up with this new Globemaster line.

Just get a Daniel Wellington. They look great, and not so damn cheap, but they're only ~$200. It's also much easier to swap the bands out than most watches.

[Anonymous No.10300025]

>>10300007
For sure, but there's a floor on that. When you can get some decent watches for around $200 with swappable bands, there's no reason to go cheaper than that. Timex just looks cheap, and Cassio watches are only for trendy bullshit.
Just buy a Daniel Wellington or similar until you can afford/justify a proper watch. Even after that, the DW works well as a daily.

also, this is /fa/ for christ's sake. a quartz watch can look good as well and you can't really tell a difference from the outside in terms of aesthetics and design unless you have a close-up on the seconds hand movement.

so yeah, I just like quartz because it's more viable as an everyday watch. if it gains or loses seconds it kinda pisses me off. that happens with quartz too but more like over the course of a whole year and not just during one week where it becomes inaccurate already.

if you like it, that's cool, and really all that matters. but, aesthetics aside (because of how personal it is), for that kind of money there are some fantastic watches out there that are better made and will hold their value much better than any Tag will.

if buying a diver with that budget, i would have picked up a vintage omega seamaster (or a shogun for half the price).

a vintage omega constellation or a junghans max bill would also fit nicely in that range, as would any number of hamiltons (old or new).

>>10303742

I mean, it's fantastic. Timeless and all that. Classic, iconic, menswear. But it sort of strikes me as the watch for people who don't exactly like watches. Just kind of get the rolex, tick the box, "it's also an investment," wear it everyday and never think about it again.

Tell me, what does it mean to you? Does it feel like an accomplishment? Like reaching a certain level in life or career? Or is it something you've always loved and coveted as a piece of history and engineering? Do you have other watches?

Why a Seadweller over a regular Sub? I'm genuinely curious, I love subs but I don't really follow Rolex very closely or know a whole lot about most of their watches. Is there some difference in movements or some other subtleties or is it just a beefed up sub with no cyclops and a deeper WR rating?

The look without the cyclops is obviously cleaner, but I prefer the look of the seadweller because the crystal stands out a bit taller and it looks better to me and serves purpose.
As for the damage the pawn shop told me that they fixed it but there are some marks on it. On the lower left it looks like there are teeth marks near the bezel, they had it catch on something it took out the bezel and it knicked the crystal slightly.
The shop had a service done/wr testing on the watch and changed the bezel.

I think you're right. I don't know anything about digital movements and I have cheap watch that's not by Casio but the display looks a lot like it is and it's way off in terms of time keeping. I haven't bothered checking any branding inside the case though to get some hints.

Black is more casual and would probably look better as part of an outfit with more casual outfits but I mostly come to /fa/ for the watches and I don't give too much of a shit about the rest of my clothes so I picked white because I just like how the white watch looks by itself, if that makes sense. The general rule is that white dials are dressier and black dials are more casual but nobody is really going to stop you to laugh at you for wearing a black dial with a suit or a white dial with a T-shirt or something. It's a pretty plain inoffensive watch anyway, it should go with most things.

well, femanon, if you want a digital Casio there are two nice lady models out there as well. just go to the casio website or amazon. in case you're concerned about the size.

the a168w and the b640 you quoted are both unisex though and would work as well.

pic related is model nr. LA670 and it also comes with full gold colored face instead of the black and I know there are versions in silver and with metal bracelet in gold and silver as well. they even got ones with blue leather straps.

the other one would be the LA680.

don't be so concerned about meme-tier judgment. it's fucking stupid. just buy what you enjoy, they all look fine IRL.

>What's better, a white watch face or a black watch face?

In case of the Timex Weekender it doesn't matter because they both got that indiglo feature anyway but overall, I think black faces are better because a darker dial with bright numbers is easier readable than vice versa.
it's a matter of personal taste though. I like how white dials look in general but I have this weird thing that once I start wearing the watch it doesn't feel right to me having a white dial on it all of a sudden. I think black dials feel a lot "safer" as a color choice in public. but that's just me. if you're not concerned about any of that and have no preference, get either white or black, it wouldn't matter.

but since you say the watch clearly works for you, that's good, what more could you want if people compliment you for it. keep wearing it then.

There are lots of brands out there that don't get a lot of credit. A man should have a good quartz, and a good automatic, in my mind. For really nice, entry-level automatics check out Certina. I have never seen someone with one before in the US or Europe (they are ore popular in Asia) but they have great styling and basic but reliable Swiss ETA movements.

The DS-1 Day-Date is what I am wearing right now. I have more expensive watches but keep coming back to this. The DS-1 Chrono is really nice too if you want a busier dial and need a chronograph, but I like the relative simplicity of the day-date.

aventurine dial is the proper name for this, by the way.

Should I swap the band on my hamilton?

Any recommendations?

rather lovely.

understated, non-ostentatious, yet luxurious. the only patek that interests me, tbh.

Get a refund if you can. Sturhling is terrible. It's equal to invicta and a step below fashion watches.

Unimaginative choice maybe, but they're still classic beautiful designs and excellent well-made watches. I do think they charge way too much and I wish that brand didn't elicit so much attention/jealousy/hate, but there's plenty of Rolexes I would definitely want to buy if I had the cash laying around, especially vintage ones.

The annoying thing is even when you get one people still accuse them of being fake. Rolexes are wonderful.

I'm a sucker for the blue DJs, too. But then again there's some similar-looking vintage Tudor Oysterdates which I maybe like even more. I love Tudor too, now that I think of it. They also go for more than they're worth though since they're associated with Rolex.

Nice, field watch is best watch

[Anonymous No.10320149]

part of me wants to get a watch, just one watch, that will work in any occasion and be with me for life.

the other part of me wants like 25, and the list only gets longer each year.

I think we have the same taste in watches. But this is the Marine Master I just can't get out of my head. That lollipop second hand with a red tip? Fucking fuck. Every little thing about this watch is perfect to me. My favorite non-vintage diver in existence.

i think the strap that's on there complements it nicely, but post a pic of what you're thinking about and maybe i can help.

very nice by the way. the first citizen dress watch i've seen that i kinda dig. the numbers are interesting... in a good way. kinda art nouveau. just not sure the typeface used in "quartz" works very well with them.

[Anonymous No.10320741]

that's a really versatile watch and a lot of straps would look great on it. i'd try dark brown or black leather. i'm generally not into contrast stitching, but white stitches may compliment it well.

a leather racing strap may also look cool.

i'd suggest even trying croc, but it looks like your watch has a brushed finish, and croc looks better with polished.
