TI feels cheap to the touch and can't be finished as nicely. and case backs need a shitload of grease or the threads cease up

hypocritically, bronze is my favorite casing material. its not worth finishing much because it will patina and case backs have to be made from a different material or the patina will fuse them together. but bronze is still my favorite. patina is so romantic

As long as you find someone to service it every so many years it should be fine. There's Larry at palmer's jewelry (he used to be the head of service at bulova iirc). There was also one anon in these threads whose shop (jmechanix.com) could service them, dunno if he's still around though.

it's just the reliability and the fact I will most likely have all of these in 20 years. I like mechanical watches, I have a sub homage I want, another vostok, russian chrono. It's just that I'm not sure what I'm gonna do in 5-10 years, I guess google someone that works on russian/in house jap/seiko movements and pay a couple hundred because I want to keep owning them. But I'm trying to mitigate having a lot of them since they will eventually need service (I guess the flag for that is when they keep horrible time?)

If get just owning a rolex or a few luxury pieces because of this, because with them there really isn't much of a question whether you should just keep sending them away every few years. Owning 10 cheap mechs though, eeehhhhhhh

Omega and Rolex service is gonna start at $400 at an independent shop, $600 for authorized service. more complications or precious metal cases will up the cost.

they need service every five years. the oils have a limited life. even if a watch is keeping time into the sixth, seventh, tenth year, you're damaging components which will need to be replaced and your service cost will be higher.

other costs will only really be if you break or wearout casing components. bands, pushers, crowns, crystals...

>>13732311
Steinhart isn't a watchmaker, they're a watch assembler. you can buy the exact same cases and movements and build the same watch. the only thing they provide is a dial, crown, and buckle with the Steinhart logo.

Yes, it's called a timegrapher. It has a very sensitive microphone that listens to the beat of the watch and calculates accuracy and shows beat error.

It's not a springdrive. It's a Beta 21, a swiss quartz movement from 1970. Back then, frequency dividers used too much power, so rather than divide down the 8KHz quartz signal down to 1Hz, they only divided it down to 256Hz and used an accutron-like system to advance the second hand 256 times per second.

I'm absolutely in love with this 18 carat, rose gold TAG Heuer Carrera watch purchased from the beautiful city of Perth. Made with sapphire infused glass that only diamond can scratch, I've spoiled myself with this gorgeous timepiece. The calibre 16 movement has been crowned as the most successful automatic chronograph movement ever produced, completely handmade by man. It is also my very first day date watch and it will be interesting to see if it becomes an important feature that Will depend on over time. I hope you all enjoy this watch as much as I do.

I'm interested in replacing an old watch I have and this thread is very disappointing. As usual, it's a circle jerk of divers when I doubt most of you have even been diving in an ocean. Realistically, I doubt most of you have even worn your silly dive watches into swimming pools.

There are better watches for the price of the Black Bay.
As for Tudor over Rolex, I mean who cares do what you want. But come on, you're a fag for getting the Tudor.
The only point of a Tudor is to get something interesting that Rolex wouldn't normally do.

a breguet overcoil.
in silicon...

that's now how it works. overcoils, thanks to Bregut's genius, have indeed been the horological standard since it's inception.
in steel.

today, manufacturers are moving toward photolithography silicon hairsprings. hairsprings which can be printed into a number of shapes. some shapes like pic related, achieve the same result and the breguet overcoil, making it unescessary. what's more - photolith can't make a 3dimentional coil like an overcoils.

so what did modern breguet do? they threw a fit that no one wanted an overcoil any more and created this abomination.

Breguet, the man? cool.
Breguet, the company today? nah

You idiots that think mechanical movements are the best thing ever!1!1 make me cringe more than the 300lb feminists at my university. Can you just admit you like the watches for the look and the prestige of the brand?

As an engineer it triggers my autism when you fucks pretend that making more complicated and more expensive movements that have no additional functionality is "superior technology". Could you imagine if a watch engineer had to design a car engine? He would make the casing out of sapphire. The engine would have a hand crank lever to charge the mechanical mechanism that spins a generator to produce the electricity. To service the engine you have to send it to the "masters" in Switzerland or Germany and it takes two months for them to respond to tell you if anything is even wrong with the engine.

Let it go anon, pilot watches are entirely alien from the brand's dna (yeah, there's a single known prototype of an aviator's watch from 1936, that's not even a chronograph and looks nothing like this). Its sole reason of existence is to make easy money off horologically uncultured boomers and non-whites larping as "cool pilot guys". Yeah, it might look cool but PP should never have released this abomination.

Is the crux of your argument "I think rounded cases and straight lugs and flat, minimally decorated dials are great, and worth paying multiples above other watches with the same movement that are about equivalently finished"?

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against ETA movements - just against them priced way above other watches with the same tech.

If you think CW is expensive then you don't understand watches. Steinhart use generic ETA movements, CW use their own movement in some models, ETA in the cheaper ones.

They are both basically fashion brands that market themselves as high end because they are mechanical.

Richard Mille have some interesting tech, like the Nadal watch thst has the movement sudpended on cables so he can wear it whilst playing tennis.
They're ugly as fuck and almost completely illegible though.

Id go for Casio Pro-Trek; solar with all that you said + altimeter/barometer, compass and moonphase.

I personally wear a Gshock Riseman on duty whit a little compass on the strap, but when i change it ill buy a protrek. The moonphase is pretty useful and even there are versions with tidegraph if you need that.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 5 10:47:51 2018 No.13736183 >>13736166 Yeah the ultra thin, was looking at that one too. But the dial on the captain had me. This one is only slightly thicker then the ultra thin. So should slide under the cuff easily.

Didn't think I'd find a waterproof strap that would look goon on this Shitterwave, but I remembered that I have this 20mm perlon on a watch I don't wear anymore, so I tried it on, and I think it looks nice.
