It's still very much functional; the SKX007 has 60 click on that bezel and the insert can still indicate any minute turn it to like any other would. You can use it to remember what time an appointment, how longer you have with the air in left your bottle, what direction is North, etc. If you think this watch isn't functional as it is, you probably don't know much about watches anyway. Never mind needing a special watch to tell what time it is in

Sure but the point was that someone spent money and took time to mod a watch with a GMT bezel that cannot be used for its intended purpose, i.e tracking additional time zones. I'm not saying there's a rule you cannot do this, but personally I see mods like this kind of tacky.

[Anonymous No.12266235]

24 hour bezel assumes you have a GMT hand geared for half a speed (i.e circles dial once a day instead of two). Without this, the 24h bezel has no purpose. They should have put in a 12h instead.

Not the guy but usually if someone doesn't especially ask for automatic movement, I recommend quartz. The "features" that come with mechanical watch can be very annoying if they come as suprise.

well, yes. like pic related but it only costs slightly less than 200 bucks. Pulsar and Lorus are pretty good because they are Seiko owned brands too and Casio makes decent looking analog watches sometimes and I can recommend Boccia Titanium and that Regent watch I posted too.

but you know what Archieluxury always says,
if it's anything less than a Rolex, Patek etc. it's a total SHITTER watch. I think he actually draws the line at Seiko stuff though.

Can somebody give me the run-down on watch movement types? I know about quartz and solar powered but I'm a bit fuzzy on "kinetic" and "automatic." I know at least one of them is the kind that charges itself when you move your wrist or something like that, but I'm not sure if they mean the same thing are not.

Either way, how reliable are those? I feel like the thought that my watch's battery could run out if I don't move around enough would make me kinda nervous, but then again quartz watches have batteries as well that I've simply never had to worry about replacing.

Is there a general rule of thumb when it comes to when a watch it too large? Like a wrist to lug ratio?

I've got kind of girly wrists (6"), but I do enjoy a large watch.

I really like the look if the Depthmaster 3k in black but I'm pretty sure it would be comically large on my wrist.

Any suggestions that look similar? Specifically the sapphire bezel and larger lum for about the came price ($500) I've got a 45mm wide by 51mm lug to lug that looks good on me, but that Depthmaster is a bit larger than that and way thicker.

Lugs should not hang over your wrist, the first links should compliment the watch. Otherwise, it always depends on the watch itself. Some massive panerai watches can look ok in even smaller wrists because of the design.

>>12282558
There's a difference between minimalist and simple design. Minimalist is extremely hard to do right so that it is not boring. Look at some nomos or junghans designs for example, simple and effective design, but enough personality not to be interesting. Some random blank face with 3 sticks, that's not even a design.

Agreed, the Seiko is fine.

The ETA 2824, commonly skeletonized, does not actually have a 90 degree angle between the balance staff and the crown, so the balance wheel is slightly to the right of 12. It's obvious on the B&M because the indexes for the 1 and the 11 are very visibly different lengths, but it shows up in any skeletonized 2824.

Pls no bully, but is there a site where one can easily browse cheap Chinese knock off watches? I want a quartz watch purely for aesthetics but I really don't feel like paying more than 50€ for one.

Why it gotta be knock-off? You'd get much better and reliable watch for same kind of money if you go with actual watch brand with warranty and repuation.

I've been using my great grandfather's old watch. Couldn't find much info on the maker, but it seems to have been a swiss company owned by an italian group of watchmakers.

It's 18k/0,750 so it's nothing too special, but it has some family history. Going to get the glass (?) cover either polished properly or switched for a new one if possible. Need to replace the armband aswell since it's very worn.

a nice piece. What kind of time does it keep (seconds per day)? If it hasn't been serviced in the last ten years consider having it serviced to make sure it doesn't grind itself to dust.

[Anonymous No.12291525]

>>12291311
Well, you make a good point. Can you reccommend some brands that make fairly minimalistic yet functional watches in a low price range?

[Anonymous No.12291529]

>>12291511
Yeah I should probably hand it in. It's been used very rarely since my grandfather died in -00, so service is definitely in order.

>What kind of time does it keep (seconds per day)?
Do you mean how accurate it seems to be? I wound it up yesterday according to the clock on my computer and it seems to be pretty in sync; might be a few seconds off, but I only made sure I got the minute-hand right.

If you hold down the right 24 hour button, genuine /terror/ watches should display 'Casio' in an awkward format.

Cheers anon's I'll get right on it.

I know 50€ is a very low amount to spend on a watch but a student's budget is very limiting and I just want something non-ugly to strap on my wrist. Hopefully I'll be able to get a proper one in the summer.

Phones made watches redundant. If you are buying a watch because of muh movement you should kill yourself.

If you are buying a fairly "cheap" quartz watch solely for style, you are okay.

I work as an EMT, gearing up for paramedic school and looking to med school after that. Having a timepiece with a second hand strapped to my wrist is essential to performing my job, as I need to be able to document times and count seconds without a free hand. I used to use a cheap quartz watch (pic related, it lives on my backpack strap now), but the battery died on me mid-call so I now wear mechanical watches. My fire chief and EMS captain both wear mechanical dive watches, as do many others in the department.

Working construction, I also made good use of a wrist watch. My dive watch would hold up in environments and working conditions that had everyone else leaving their phones behind, so I was often the only one with any idea what time it was. There were also plenty of times when there wasn't really time to stop working to pull out a phone, but there was time to steal a quick glance at a watch.

Just because you have time to play with your phone all day doesn't mean the rest of us also aren't doing anything with our lives.

I'm wearing my 556 right now. Such a nice watch and a perfect size at 38.5mm.

It can also look casual or professional with a simple strap change.

[Anonymous No.12292850]

>>12290231
yeah the indices dial is far more versatile than the 12,3,6,9. The only complaint I have is that you can't tell what way is up in the dark because there is no special marking for the 12. Minor complain though .

What what do you have? I hope it's good quality and reliable. For example single magnet near by can screw up mechanical movement.

Any good quality quartz is still ten times more reliable than any mechanical movement out there, there's just so little that can fail compared to so much of a mechanical caliber.

Also, any decent quartz will somehow signal that batter is near it's end. For example Seikos, Citizens will start double ticking with second hand like 6 months before the battery is dead, so you will have plenty of time to replace.

I'm not saying you did a wrong choice by going mechanical on your job, but if you did it for reliability purposes you downgraded considerably.

[Anonymous No.12293350]

It has nothing to do with wrist size. It's rather a style thing. Simple three hand watches always look better conservatively sized. Watch makes know this and it's the reason they make 36mm DJ's, 38mm AT's, etc.

Sports watch like divers are and look fine larger, and chronographs/instruments with busy dials even larger. I have an avarage wrist size, around 8 inches, and here's how I'd prefer my watches:

>Non-diver, non-chronograph dress or sports watch: 36-38.5mm

>Diver (with divers bezel): 38.5-42mm

>Chrono: 40-44mm.

I've been using my Omega because that's the watch I ended up with (paid literally a dollar, rescued it from a gun shop that just thought it was a worthless beat-up old watch and had it in the dollar junk bin), but I've been shopping around for an SKX or similar.

You should get a G-Shock or similar for your line of work. I'd hate my life depending from 60-year-old junkbox Omega, which has propably never seen a proper service I assume (not that even matters).
