Interstellar Hamilton is as much of a space watch as a fucking Omega speedmaster, maybe even better since it went to the black hole.

Speedy is the moon watch because supposedly some dude wore it on the moon in the sixties. BUT the watches you can purchase and wear now have not been to the moon and are exact replicas of the watch that supposedly has.
Besides it has not been proven the moon landings were real and not just an propaganda trick to piss off the soviets.

In reality the Hamilton has video evidence of flying into a massive black hole and the Omega has video evidence of being on the moon.

If you buy either watch, they have not been into any moons or black holes or space for that matter and are just exact replicas of the watches that did.

Daini produced a vertical clutch, flyback chronograph movement shortly after Suwa that has none of the Suwa's reliability issues. The 701x is a better design than the 613x.

I'd still rate the Lemania 5100 as the best tool-watch chronograph movement ever made though.

I have a few questions on buying a quartz watch.

1. When the battery goes low on power, does the inner workings of the watch gradually decrease in speed or it just stops?

2. If the inner workings gradually decreases speed, wouldn't it affect the accuracy a lot? How will I know if my watch is low on power?

3. How long does a quartz watch usually stays powered up?

>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 6 10:11:38 2018 No.13657562 >>13657552 it just stops, power depends but a ticking quartz analog will be no worse than 6 months, while a digital could last 8 years

This is why so many very nice swiss women's watches from previous decades are so cheap, if they are not in fashion at the moment they are worthless, end of story. If a very well made or very interesting man's watch goes out of fashion for a few years it still holds it's value

Well that is a retro watch anyway, isn't it? Gotta be 70's.

Unless your girlfriend is a sci-fi nerd or whatever, most women will just think it's nerdy.

If you try and convince them otherwise you'll only fall into the trap of being called a nerd. I always just turn it around and laugh/look of disgust at them because they are sensitive and they end up feeling sorry.

Teenage girls might be into watches but adult women who would pay any interest is a tiny percent.

Fair enough, I was not after a basic bitch when I laid my eyes upon her.

>Like I wouldn't start to talk about it show it off to a woman I just met because the chances are she wont be interested.
True, I wouldn't even mention any watches for some time, to them it's pretty much an accessory and that's it. Most women sport some expensive fashion clothes and bags etc while wearing a chink shitter that just looks nice for a month or so.

What do you guys think about having an all vintage collection and maybe a single modern beater shitter to compliment it?

I just can't buy modern watches anymore, I have enough wrist shitters as it is and buying a modern watch has no meaning to me. I see those stores as just storage, if I want that particular watch, I can just fucking buy it on the spot and be done with it, because of this some of the meaning is lost, there is no hunt.

When I buy vintage watches, the watch I buy is already rare and I have had to scout that particular timepiece for some time, it feels more like actual collecting and a hobby than just buying crap you like.

A QT Seiko arrived today from Buyee, caliber 3802, and another Pajeet one as a donor. The Japanese one looks worse than it is, a new crystal will greatly improve it. The Indian one is absolutely hilarious how butchered it is, I'll do pics of it tomorrow. I only need one nylon part from it, so it can't be rusted, so it's probably okay.

Update on grandpa's old Poljot. Here's how the dial looks without the messed up crystal obscuring most of the damage. Meanwhile my gran-gran told me more about this watch. He wore it in the early 70's, when he was in some metalworking shop and that's the reason why it's kinda messed up. On the other hand the back of the gold-plated case and the steel caseback are almost spotless.

However it's not running quite right yet. The center wheel is rubbing against the balance wheel when the watch is dial up, but only at one side of the wheel, so it's out of level. There isn't much space in these 24mm Poljots (though not as bad as later 26mm Raketas), so even a little deformity will lead to some scraping. I'll try to either level it out, punch the center wheel a little bit higher on its pinion with a staking set, or replace it altogether. Last case scenario I'll punch a tiny crater into the mainplate, so the balance cock would slope a tiny bit downwards, lessening the balance endshake.

Also the crown is just a temporary one I screwed on to be able to examine the movement, and I'll pick up a new crystal next week.

This seems common with these movements for some reason, both for the 1MChZ and later Poljot era, the center wheel is somehow prone do damage. However this watch has a replacement balance assembly, so that may be the real reason. The commies didn't stick brass shims under the balance cock for nothing.

Honestly I'm not sure. This watch was dropped at least once (it had broken balance pivots) so maybe that made it move out of level. I've seen another 1MChZ one that had the center wheel completely mangled. But bear in mind that these are 50-60 year old movements and in that time a lot of things could happen.

I have a yellow dial one that's in much better condition, I COULD put that dial in, but I'm gonna keep this one how it is, apart from the crystal, which is badly cracked.

I already have a bunch of watches that have flawless dials, and I can obtain infinite more. But this one is from my grandpa, so it stays as close to original as possible. Also his Raketa and Vostok 2409 I inherited in pretty good condition.

I've recently had to gut a women's gold Chaika. The case was stamped 585, meaning 18-carat gold, so the owner sold the case as scrap gold to the store, and I got to keep the pretty much worthless movement. I already have like two dozen donors of this movement.

It's something I think about. But to be honest my main collecting interest is in unusual tech, especially in the 60s to 80s, and so owning a single, say, sub and Lange 1815, which would be about the same cost as the collection, wouldn't be as interesting to me (not that I'd mind owning those two watches)

Uh

Anyways I am not inspired by your suggestions, I'm sorry. If I were to spend 30k on three modern watches, it would probably be a Lange 1815 in white gold, whatever the new citizen with the 1spy haq cal 0100 ends up being, and maybe the small blancpain fifty fathoms diver they released recently.

I mean that collection is pretty scattershot, honestly. There's no uniform aesthetic to it that I can see.

>Lange 1815
I don't know. I find the uncomplicated Langes pretty boring. Maybe that's just me. Also the idea of wearing watches made of precious metals does nothing for me.

>Citizen 1spy
Not too interesting to me. I didn't really get into watches for +or- 1 second accuracy per year.

>Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
I like these but I think the Sub/Black Bay is more versatile in its looks. If I was going to pick a non rolex/tudor diver I'd go with maybe a Rado Captain Cook or seamaster 300. I don't know, though the Sub is such a classic look.

Depends on which patek & JLC are in question. That said if I had choice from any of the top tier makers, I'd either pick a lange 1815 chrono or an fp journe chronometre bleu. The former's movement is absolutely gorgeous, same with the latter along with that unique blue dial & tantalum case.

The one on the right is a 2loo Special from India that I only got because I need one part for another 380x, and this was the cheapest solution.

Even an entry level patek is around $20k. At that price range I'd rather get one of the higher end JLCs to be honest. I can't be assed to find that one pic of a calatrava with a tiny ass movement & a plain looking spacer, but it's been posted in these threads before.

One the other hand this is VERY extreme. What you should look for are things like the case appearing flawless on an older watch, despite not being listed NOS. Or missing brushed surfaces, compared to other examples of the same reference, or too rough brushing.

Using IIII is a watch/clock making tradition, it helps to balance the dial by splitting into 3 zones.
>zone 1
Only I
>zone 2
Introduces V
>zone 3
Introduces X
Also the Romans used IIII & IV interchangeably as seen by this picture of exit 54 at the Colosseum in Rome.

Hello, noob here.
Are Adidas watches ok quality ?
I'd like to gift one to someone who doesn't care much about watches, but needs one. Something he could wear with formal clothes but also more casual ones.

If you could only choose one watch then you'd have to pick one that could be worn in as many occasions as possible. Casual, dresses, sporty, etc.

In that case I'd have to put a Rolex at the top of the list to look at even though I prefer HH dress watches.
