[Anonymous No.12548116]

>>12548057
but if you like the subs because of the bezel, maybe you should look the gmt II and the explorer II. I really don't like the sea-dweller, looks too bulky.
You have to consider that the biggest oyster is 39mm without that huge bezel, so it's going to feel small compared with the tudor.

[Anonymous No.12549417]

>>12548534
If you don't care about it being quartz or automatic, I would recommend the Tissot Courturier Chronograph. I have one, it looks very sharp, and the chronograph complication takes the watch a step back from being strictly a dress watch.

Also, you can get a quartz Junghans Max Bill for around that price, and they're very nice. Being from a company that's a part of the movement bringing the industry away from the Swiss for once, most watch-people will respect your choice.

If you want an automatic movement, I would go for the Seiko Cocktail Time or something from Hamilton. Both respected companies that make solid time pieces for the money.

I would avoid the big bezels if you're looking to be dressy in anyway. There are far too many investment hardos who wear they're financed Submariners with their suits not realizing how casual they look.

If you have small wrist go dressier so a leather or NATO strap. If I was you though would save up for an solid automatic watch, the Tissot everytime I recommend before is a quartz(which means its battery powered) watch nerds consider quartz to be cheap and have no soul , I only recommend it too you because of your price range, you cant go wrong with Tissot, Hamilton, or Seiko etc.. Just stay away from the cheap "fashion brands" like Daniel Wellington MVMT ,Nixon, Michael Kors, Armani etc..they are all made from cheap Chinese parts and cost less than $10 to make yet the sell them for 300...

I ended up going with the movado, I know price is not the only factor but it's a $1200 watch for $325, by far the nicest watch I've ever owned and decent enough for my purposes at this point in my life (28). I tried it on at Macy's and thought it fit great, so I went.

Clearly, I have a lot more to learn about watches then "get a weekender."

in the words of Anthony Fantano...
>the only reason why someone would spend $800 on a watch is because they can't spend an actual impressive amount of money on a watch
It's a shitty design with a shitty strap, and that's not even mentioning one of the biggest watch-buying rule
>ONLY BUY WATCHES FROM WATCH COMPANIES

[Anonymous No.12551627]

>>12550877
Well, just because the manufacturer says it's a $1,200 watch, doesn't mean it is worth that in reality. MSRP rates are often hiked up by watch brands simply because they'll be able to sell a higher volume to stores if those stores can then in turn tell costumers that they're saving a boat load of money. But I mean, Movado has its history, and with the recognizable design it makes their watches worthwhile for people who aren't watch snobs.

That's not to say that it isn't a nice watch, it certainly is, but there isn't very much horological beauty to it. Of course, if you don't give a shit about the inner mechanisms of a watch and the intricacies of watch making, then there's really no reason to go out and spend thousands on a mechanical, in-house, Swiss made movement. Your watch will keep more precise time and you won't have to wind it.

At the end of the day, the most important part about having a watch is if you enjoy it. You've said you're not well versed on watches, so I'm just explaining my rationale behind recommending other brands.

[Anonymous No.12551708]

>>12550456

This is the gist of it:
>That particular movement can be bought for around $30.
>Gucci has no interest in making limited edition watches, so they're undoubtedly paying less marginally.
>The case is yellow gold PVD, which basically means that there is actually hardly any gold whatsoever.
>Nylon strap is dirt cheap to make.

You're paying $800 for a watch that costed $20 to make and get into your hands. Surely, the Gucci branding has its recognizability, and anyone who knows nothing about watches will believe you have a nice watch, however anyone who knows anything about watches will laugh at you.

If you insist on getting a watch from a high-end fashion brand, get a Cartier.

It's literally all there in their self-description.
If you're getting into watches, the most basic rule is to buy watches made by watch makers, and not fashion designers. The latter make flashy watches with the cheapest parts that are horribly overpriced.
Sometimes fashion watches have neat designs that you couldn't get otherwise, so it may be somewhat justifiable to get one. However yours is yet another DW clone.

The 5th use "Japanese quartz" and are made in China. I'm gonna be positive and assume it's a Miyota movement made by Citizen. Now the thing is you can probably find the very same movement in Citizen watches at a 5th of the price.

Picture related is a Citizen Eco-Drive, meaning solar, so a steep step up from your regular Japanese quartz. It also costs less than yours.

it's automatic and you said you want reliability. mechanical watches lose or gain too much time in general if accuracy is your issue. that's the reason you actually need to go for a quartz watch instead.
the Pulsar one is better in that case because it's quartz. Seiko 5 looks better though and is smaller. the Pulsar one is 42mm case diameter and the other one 38mm.

What's a good place to buy a used Rolex? Crown and Caliber and Chrono24 seem to be the big sites, tons of smaller stores sell online too though. I really like the Explorer 114270 which isn't made anymore, it seems like most of these sites have them for $4000-$5000 in seemingly very good condition.

Indians take old Seikos and stuff and poorly repaint the dials with really ugly bright colors.

I don't know about new, but vintage should definitely be possible. Try to look for gold cap watches, they'll be cheaper than solid gold but a gold cap is much more durable than gold plating.

I'd buy a hundred Sinns before I bought a Nomos, but I know lots of people love that played out Bauhaus style.

Seiko SARB ("quality"). An Omega. Tudor.

Anyone have any good vintage dress watches to recommend?

Understated style like >>12551894, that 1960s minimalist dress kind of deal. But probably not a VC, Patek, JLC, or anything that high-end.

Very kind of you anon, but I don't think you read my post. Since a vintage Patek probably isn't in the budget (nor, for that matter, would other high brands be; it's hard to drop a few thousand on a watch right now), I'm wondering if anons know of other nice brands or models it's a bit easier to buy vintage.

Contemporary watches made a-la vintage is pig revolting hipster trash.

...Hence my curiosity about brands or models from around the 60s that anons had personal experience with, and could recommend. Jesus Christ.

Buy an Omega. Seamasters are cheaper, Constellations are nicer. Make sure you do lots of research, buying old watches is hard.

nomos! they aren't vintage but they are great time pieces and you could deff find a certified pre owned for 900

[Anonymous No.12565036]

>>12565006
I love Nomos' stuff. I've had my eye on an Orion for ages, but I know I'd feel guilty if I went for it, no matter how great it'd look. I really hadn't thought of looking at pre-owned stuff of theirs before, though, so that's an excellent idea that I'm retarded for not having considered.

What do you nigg noggs think about the rebranded withings nokia watches? I don't care about automatic watches, I just want something interesting and sleek.

[Anonymous No.12565823]

>>12565569
Last I've heard they're very inaccurate and don't resist water one bit. As in they actually let sweat in, which makes them useless as a sport watch, which it was designed to be as far as I know.
The local amazon reviews are mostly shit, though I've never had one myself.

Not a fan of the band, but solid choice.

Nah, looks like knock off Apple watch and you'll just be that guy explaining why the Zune better than the iPod.

>>12564830
I wouldn't buy it, but if your mum got it there's not much you can do.

>>12564542
Yes.

>>12564031
Seiko, Citizen, Timex. Shouldn't be too hard.

>>12563341
Hope it was a gift.

>>12561607
I like the J.Springs one. How much was it?

>>12561236
I dig it.

>>12559782
For the price, I think there are tons of better options. The tech watch scene is getting too big and prices are more competitive now.

>>12559039
Wouldn't buy, but if given the choice, I like the one on the right.
