I'd like to get my first nice watch and I'm looking for something a little more dressy. Currently my only mechanical watch is pic related.

I'd like to spend around 1000-1500€ from a bonus I'm getting fairly soon, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Any recommendations?

I wanted a modern watch that was a heritage, or reissue, of a 60s or 70s tool diver... initially I had the seiko turtle reissue but it was too big for me. Pic related.

The price is pretty high for what you get. There are no guarantees that this is manufactured in France - only assembled. I imagine most of the parts are created in China.

I primarily brought this for the visual look. It is a 1:1 recreation of the vintage YEMA Superman. I just think it's the most attractive watch ever made.

Bracelet is thin and feels good, has micro adjustment and a 2cm wetsuit extension which gives you relief at a moments notice when you are out and about. Sapphire crystal is fine, a little over reflective maybe, but the way the dome warps light plays well with the dial and hands. White C3 lume, which is on par with the seiko turtle (aka the best in the industry). Dial black is very, very deep black. Quality of the metal hands/dial printing/lume application is as you'd expect for the price.

Flat out the biggest criticism is the bezel lock. It's not very effective in locking the bezel assuming you have the screwed down crown set tight. The whole concept of being unable to change the bezel underwater is a fucking joke. When I picked it up I assumed the bezel lock system would not affect the water resistance. It is such a massive and stupid flaw that I would say, don't buy this watch. Go for black bay. If you want a sub 40mm diver, you're fucked asides from longines legend 36mm and Oris 65 36mm

Buy the Seagull; there's nothing wrong with it if you get it from the right supplier and have a watchmaker nearby in case you have any doubts when you receive it. Mine is still running well (within 1 second per day), but I give it a few days rest every so often because now I have a rotation for work.

What are your concerns? (aside from China is shit, which is a rather undifferentiated statement given what you're thinking of buying)

It depends on what you want them for, how often you'd wear them, what you do for work or hobby, etc.

As an example, if you swim a lot, the seamaster makes sense. If you dive, it definitely makes sense. If you don't go near water most of the time, it's unnecessary and the money could go towards something else.

The constellation is fine...but for what purpose? If a dress watch, why not go for the gold variant?

Speedy is excellent choice, though I prefer Cal. 321 (more pricey, but iconic).

Grand Seiko...I never liked the aesthetics personally, but I understand wanting to get at least one example of the technology. Maybe you should look for something more 'exciting' in the colours and design.

As for the digital....I still don't know why people like these things at all. But there we are...no comment.

In the watch thread a few days ago someone suggested you get a monoprice clip on pickup and use TG timeographer software to regulate your watch on the cheap.

I just plugged mine into the PC and put it on the watch and its saying my watch is 2000 seconds a day out (which is obviously not correct since its like 40 seconds)

Any advice on how to get this software to work?

Seamsater would be my travel, go anywhere do anything watch. I live in a wet part of the world, I'd like an aqua terra but I'm going to pick over it the seamaster for the ceramic + movement.

I do like a smaller watch (constellation) on a leather strap and that's what I first wore, so it's kind of me getting back to basics, my dad has a 60s gold seamaster, which will be left to me so I'd feel like I'm doubling up.

I have decided yet on the speedy model

Wanted a F9 movement, one less watch to service I am trying to stay under 10k don't want to much money in watches.

Steel g shock is just a beater for around the house, how else am I to set the rest of them :)

Ty for your input, maybe I will rethink the GS, I would like a better dial on it.

A couple of ideas to think about.
1) Movement: The co-axial movement at this stage is only reliably serviced by Omega. Independents who can do it are far and few between nowadays, and given that Omega has stopped selling their parts to independents (like Rolex did officially years ago), you're looking at a situation where you MUST service it through Omega in the future. Movements that use a standard lever escapement can still be done by independents, for a lot less and with you determining precisely what you want done. Normally I'd say don't worry about this, but the issue is that the co-axial has not proven to be any more reliable or accurate than a trad lever escapement that is well balanced, and furthermore the average service times of the co-axial (which were initially advertised to be over 10 years) is now down to 5-7 from Omega officially (depending on the country, model, year, etc.). Which happens to be the same timeframe as trad movements.

2) The aqua terra is an excellent watch, far less expensive, and more 'under the radar'. Consider it seriously.

3) If you're getting a gold seamaster from the 60's, then you are in a sense doubling up so don't bother with the constellation unless you have cash to burn.

The other thing to consider is how much wear you'd get out of your watches. I find that the ones I wore for the longest periods (i.e. during school, during uni, etc.) are simply the ones that feel the most like 'mine'...whereas the new ones I've gotten recently still feel like they're imposters...lol

Ultimately get what you want, but the more watches you have, the less connection you'll feel to them and eventually you'll either turn into me (who has no interest in buying any watches in the future forever) or the Anon here who has the watch that you have to water to keep it going....his collection is remarkable, but gigantic.

Something else that came to mind.

For a long time, my Seamaster was my go-to travel anywhere watch, but after getting it serviced I decided I'd use it only for work and scuba, and my 'beater' would be pic related.

I can go to the range with it, I can go on rollercoasters with it, and I'm not really worried. Yes, modern mechanicals have lots of shock protection, but I'm at the point now where full services just aren't worth the money anymore, so if I can avoid them and use my independent for a fraction of the price, I'm happier.

There's nothing wrong having and using nice watches...but these days I wouldn't travel to places I don't know wearing any of my nice ones. It's just a feeling...the world has gotten more dangerous lately.

Back to the seamaster or aqua terra though: they're both very good for different occasions, and dress up or down depending on what you need. The Ceramic bezel looks nice...but isn't anything to write home about after a year or so.

GS has a lot of possibilities; the dial you posted wasn't bad...just...indistinct. If you want it to fly under the radar, then it's fine...but their attention to finishing is excellent so you might as well get one with detailing on the dial...you know what I mean?

I'm afraid it comes with the territory. The black/black North American version isn't made anymore, and the Japanese ones are going fast if you want one. All watches with sliderules are large...if you go with a Breitling it'll be just as present on the wrist. But that's the function; it's not a dress watch, it's not something that should fit under a suit or a collared shirt sleeve cuff. It's a 'military' style watch. Enjoy it for what it is, and if you want something different, look for something different.

I hear you on the coaxial, I don't mind getting it service with omega as long as its 7 year maybe push to 10, I make quite alot. I honestly didn't think about the bezel wear, I know the older model wears in heavy, I use a bezel alot for cooking.

I might go for the AT, price is a factor. I see good deals on the grey market now and then. I just lean more the 300m, adjustable clasp, shinyer but the AT is a better daily. I need to get over the teak dial, im 60/40 on it.

It could be 10 year or 20 years or next year for the gold seamaster, I just so happen to see a excellent example of a constellation. I have the extra cash, I'd like to finish the collection by the years end. Wear and enjoy them, maybe tweak it with a jlc (constellation is sort of a place holder for jlc ultra thin) but that would be a few years down the line.

I'd wear them daily, if I don't wear it, it normally goes, 1 in 1 out, small manageable collections are what I like. I well add higher end watch most likely in the future but no more than 6, 4 would be nice but 3 is hard for me.

No that's what the g shocks for, I clay pigeon shoot with it. Travel to London with it. Activelys. I could switch it for a gs quartz but I just need to find the right model for a good price /fair. I still feel a little errrr paying 2k for a quartz even if it's a gs.

Pastel colored canvas maybe? The polished case kindof limits the military/tool strap choices imo. Also, dont buy suede straps from cheapestnatostraps. The name fits, mine is about to tear at the lugs after about a month of wear and the second holding ring has stretched.

What's the point of wearing a watch when you have a phone? Unless you're going sea diving or mountain climbing and have a specialized watch for that purpose you'll just be seen as a try-hard.

some work it's impractical to pull a phone out of your pocket whenever you need time
plus it's a good way for people to help minimize phone time, if you dont need it for a watch then you can just leave it in the car unless expecting important calls etc
there's hundreds of other reasons but to me those are the two mains ones

(I still use phone for time btw)

Anyone have experience with wearing the Bulova Lunar Pilot? Is it really as fuck-huge as people say it is? Plan on buying it anyway because I'm currently collecting space watches, but I do want a respectable, functional daily.

By virtue of being an Omega, and being a black dial chrono watch, people comment on it all the time, and assume I'm far richer than I actually am.

By a few seconds, sure. That's not enough of a reason for most people who just need to check the time periodically and not every two minutes.

Smartphones eliminates the normal use of wrist watches for most of the population meaning it's becoming more and more of an outlier in fashion. So, you either end up with rapers bragging about having "ice on their wrist" trying to associate with a bygone era or you end up with pretentious hipsters using antiquated tech as an accessory.

But I guess a thread on a fashion board shouldn't ever talk about larger fashion trends, right?

I used to use a cheap water proof watch for swimming too.

So we can break it down into at least two broad types:
>Luxury/wannabe status symbols
Serves as jewelry/flexing along with a hipster-like association with the past by using antiquated tech.
>Practical
For people who need to check the time very often and need those few extra seconds, can't afford to piss off customers/associates by looking at phone, don't have a phone (like young children and very poor), specialized watches designed for extreme environments/activity.

The only one that is excusable and not tryhard is the practical watches and those shouldn't be worn as fashion statements.

Certain people are very autistic and are unable to understand that people are allowed to like things other people dont like.

I think that depends on whether you can accept that everyone are making Pepsi bezels now, and you just want one from a decently prestigious brand, or if you're hellbent on the Roly for some reason.
Personally, I've yet to come around to the GMT models with 24 hour markers - I feel like there's too much going on there, and it looks a bit cluttered.

To give you an idea of the quality of these Tunas: the notches on those bezels are individually polished, see pic.

On a Rolex Sub, those notches have raw machining marks.
