I was initially going to develop this into a series of troll posts about carrying a pocket watch and why they're superior to wrist watches and go full fedora, but I never was a good troll anyway.

I don't have any answers to your questions. I messed with it a bit before I really got into watches. It runs, but I've never checked the accuracy. I wound it regularly for a few weeks once, but I never made note of its full power reserve. And it probably hasn't been serviced in a long time. It was sitting on display at my grandpa's house for as I can remember, but I suspect it's been out of use long before that. I looked up the serial number once, and I think it's from 1918.

The dial printing, the case, the hands, and the crown all look really cheap. I guess it looks like a 1016 Explorer from far away, but it also looks like it came in a cereal box so $200 used sounds like a rip-off. Looks chunky too, all the proportions aren't quite right. Is the crystal acrylic? Miyota 9015 or one of the older Miyotas?

The finishing is quite decent, maybe that pic doesn't do it justice. It's a Miyota 8125. According to many watch forums this is the best Rolex Explorer I available and also difficult to get since Zeno got sued by Rolex and they stopped the production. It plexiglas, yes, like the older (vintage) Explorer models, also the size is 36 mm which for me is a big plus.

Because I always wanted a dressy watch from a non-shitter brand which I could afford as a student
>What do you like most about this watch?
It's deep blue dial
>What do you find difficult or unpleasant about this watch?
The lack of signed caseback, but that was typical in the 70s
>Would you be more inclined to purchase a new watch based on the design or functionality of the watch?
Both aspects are equally important, I just try to keep a decent collection that covers all segments (dressy, diver, field, chronograph...), being the only condition that they must be mechanical. I wouldn't mind a turning fork movement though.

I wanna know who attacked the screws on that movement with a chisel, it looks like someone with improper tools serviced it once.
Otherwise it looks fine, even though it's not a very expensive movement. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if the case was much more expensive than the movement, the dial is in perfect condition it seems, and the case and chain also look very good.
Can you take picture of the markings on the case?

For the Hamilton, I liked the history. It's a shame the got bought up by Swatch a long time ago, but oh well. As for the Seiko, I wanted a watch that was 20 Bar WR, and I hate the look of divers.
>What do you like most about this watch?
Hamilton: The day date I think looks fantastic. Seiko: That green dial of course, and the lume
>What do you find difficult or unpleasant about this watch?
Hamilton: 40mm looks just slightly too big for my wrists. Kinda bummed that most watch companies don't have much of a selection below that. Seiko: I guess the green dial doesn't go with everything, but that's fine

Do it, it's great. The 1016 is a classic, but personally I like the applied markers and the flat crystal and the glossy dial on the later models. I think all the aesthetic changes were for the better. I don't understand how Rolex managed to fuck it up so badly with the 214270, though.

Hey guys looking to get my first decent watch. I had been looking at a Movado meusem watch with a black or blue face but saw for a couple hundred more I could get a Movado 1881 automatic.

Anyone have assny experience with these?

Also while I'm at it I work in a business casual setting but more towards the business side than the casual.

Should I go with a blue or black face? Leather or metal?

Don't, shit quality and legibility. Stay away from Movado. You want something classy that's very good value? Get a Seiko Dolce. Think that's to small? (It isn't). Get a SARB033 or a SARX035, depending on how much you want to spend and how big you want the watch to be. The Dolce is the best value IMO, it's the cheapest watch with a thermocompensated quartz movement that I know of. It's also the cheapest watch with Seiko's anti-scratch coating that I know of. Lastly, it's thin as fuck, light, comfortable and elegant. The hour hand goes all the way to the hour markers, unlike the Movado: that helps with legibility. And the silver dial is classier and more versatile.

if you are going swiss, such as an oris or a fortis, do automatic...i only like high-end swiss quartzes like breitlings SuperQuartz or the omega seamaster in quartz...but at that price point, most people just get the omega or breitling in automatic

I know it's considered almost TGV tier but fuck is the Seagull 1963 brilliant for the money,
Column Wheel Chronograph originally used in fucking early Breitling's for around 300+usd.

It certainly looks nice, but I guess if you don't wear it there's not much point in owning it. Do you never dress up? Maybe get a nicer strap for it and wear it a few times at least to see if you like it.

I don't know why smooth sweeping seconds are supposedly a Rolex thing, every mechanical watch beats several times a second and Rolex has never used particularly high beatrate movements. In fact I'm pretty sure those high frequency GP movements are 36,000bph which is smoother than any Rolex.

>> No.12803306

>>12803300
yes, they are, indeed 36,000 bph. Higher frequency than any rolex, it's just for the comparison of that effect. I actually was thinking about getting a nicer strap for it. The watch is in minty condition, never restorated and keeps time perfectly. I love this constellation Pie-Pan, classy stunner!

I agree, but not for how it looks in an image, for how it would look in motion, I'd love to be able to see the balance wheel gyrate as the anchor lets the escapement turn on this piece. The fact that they made the balance wheel and the hour gear identically sized for the symmetry is also great.
I also love how the jewels are all arranged in a circle, it really helps the aesthetic.
Furthermore, putting the mainspring barrel prominently in the center of the watch looks fantastic.

>> No.12803605

Although I wish that Breguet would have taken the time to machine the screws and taps so that each screw would point to the center of the watch, just to help the symmetry.
