I wanr to consider Japan as a first-world country but it does not feel like it is. $500 is expensive. I'm not asian, so wearing an asian watch feels off. Timex has a $500 watch which is made in Connecticut but I am wondering if other options exist.

Hey lads, this is my current collection and I'm contemplating selling off a few of my pieces that it would be worth it to do so (NTH, Steinhart etc) It would mainly be because I know I want to eventually replace these watches in my collection with watches from IWC, Breitling, Rolex etc.

I start work in finance next year and am currently planning on just keeping and enjoying my current collection until I can afford to add new pieces, but yeah I could also liquidate some although I am not in desperate need of cash.

For the moment enjoy all of them, rotate as much as you can and try to get out of your comfort zone with all of them so you really know how versatile every piece is and how they make you feel.
Spend a year or two saving money for more important stuff
Then start selling everything but the PO, the f91-w and the khaki. Maybe keep an orient or the other Casio if they have special meaning for you. The rest must go.
Then with your saving and the recently added funds from the sales you can start looking for new watches.
You'll have a dive a beater and a tool watch in your box, I'd look for a dress watch or a chrono (or a dressy vintage chrono)
The max bill chronoscope is hated here but it'd make an awesome addition to your collection. A vintage golden Leonidas with venus movement could also be an interesting piece

>"Swiss Made" means that it was assembled/inspected in Switzerland and at least 60% of "manufacturing" costs were domestic

>"Made In U.S.A" means "that virtually all materials and labor were domestic"

>"Made in Germany" is not regulated at all but "German export guarantees have a limit of 49 percent on foreign production"

>"Made in Japan" is not clear but I found the following "Misleading representations of country of origin
Especially designated as involving the possibility of misleading general consumers is representations
concerning country of origin (a country in which a treatment or process effecting substantial change to
the substance of the goods made). In response to the social problem for the disguising of the origins of
food products in recent years, in May 2009 the JAS Law was revised to establishing severe penalties for
the violations. In many cases, representations is regulated under other relevant laws such as the Food
Sanitation Act, the Household Goods Quality Labeling Act and, as necessary, detailed regulations such
as fair competition code for individual products or industries.
Under the Act against Unjustifiable Premiums and Misleading Representations, the examples below
are considered misleading representations.
Ex.: Apparel products sewed in China of Japanese material may not be labeled "Made in Japan"
(such products may be labeled "Made in China of Japan fabric").
Labeling that could cause consumers to imagine a product was produced in a country other than its
country of origin (country or region names, flags, or crests) is prohibited, etc."

Are "Made in Japan" watches 100% manufactured in Japan? Seiko has watches made in Malaysia but those are not "Made in Japan" watches. Japan also is a major exporter of steel and at least Seiko produces their own Sapphire, so it is potentially closer to 100% than the 60% of Switzerland, but then they have so many poor countries to import materials so I am not sure. I cannot find % requirement for "Made in Japan."

Enzo Ferrari wore a 30mm chronograph for forty years. The Universal Nina Rindt wore to time her husbands races was 36mm. This is also why Daytona's were popular before they were status symbols, because of their legibity, the contrast of the subdials and hands. A watch doesn't need to be over 40mm for that.

SSB is the model code (e.g. SSB003, SSB031, etc., there's probably like a million of them). The movement that powers them is the 6T63. This movement is also known as the VK63, or VK67, or VK83 depending on subdial placement and chrono function. Here's a quick intro on the movement.

http://calibercorner.com/what-is-a-meca-quartz-movement/

It's pretty much the only popular mecaquartz movement, because it actually does a reasonable job of mimicking mechanical chrono action. Hence, you get a fuckton of microbrands like Undone and Autodromo and others using it.

The 1963, from what I've heard, is a pretty solid watch. I don't have any firsthand experience with it, though, because I'm not crazy about the looks.

You could also take a look at Poljot, both the Aviator and the Strela. Those are powered by a movement that's pretty much just a slavshit clone of the old Valjoux, so they're pretty solid. Poljots used to be like $300, but I'm afraid they're more like $500 now.

Take a moment and think about the Nomos, because it is a rather subtle watch when compared with your others, and I'm saying that as someone who has one.
I mostly just trudge around in verry casual and sporty wear, and the Tangente is, as I see it, a dress watch through and through. That's not to say I don't ever dress up or that it's an ugly watch (which it in no way is), so I'm gonna put it down as my token dress watch and go back to hoarding big ol divers again.

Pilotfag here, I'm looking for an inexpensive (<$500 or so) watch with an easily legible GMT display. Mechanical is preferable but quartz could be acceptable too, and some kind of ana-digi might be nice as long as it isn't a busy clusterfuck of a watch like the Citizen Skyhawk/Navihawk etc. The only thing I'd really prefer to avoid is a full-on digital. Any suggestions?

Baltic makes a nice one and is honest about how they're made. Speedmaster reduced at 39mm, prices only go up so whenever you can afford it is the right time to buy. Probably some Zenith. Bought a Paul Newman knockoff from Tiger Concepts because I was curious, but can't recommend it and it's quartz if you care about that. Tons of old chrono's on chrono24 and of course you can jist get a f91w for 10 bucks.

I was under the impression that pilots made money out the ass?
$500 should go a way towards the first payment on a PAM 1320, or you could find one used.

Every retard wants to become a busdriver with wings and get a healthy dose of radiation during his lifetime.
So the market is a bit saturated.
From what i've heard, you earn dogshit when you start out. Need to collect flight hours with the smaller aircraft to be considered to pilot the big ones. Some pilots work for shitty wages with low cost airlines just to rack up those hours.
The truth might be somewhere in the middle with these stories.

I like this citizen. Looks lovely, costs around 100€. Or look for some older ana digis, citizen had some fun designs back then.

Hey watchbros I need some help; would it be possible to get a Nato strap on this watch, you reckon?

Looks like there are simple, straight lug bars, underneath the strange rubber band guides. Get the band off to be sure. A regular nato wont fit and i doubt that there are any adapters for your model. So just order a canvas strap. I suppose that you don't need the functionality of a nato and just want to replace the rubber straps.

Ah I can't check, I don't own it, the pictures are from an auction site. The original straps seem to look like pic rel. though, so what you're saying makes sense.
I don't really need the Nato strap functionality, I just think they look really comfortable.
Thanks for the tip, I'll look more into canvas straps. (I'm a watch noob, in case that wasn't clear enough.)

I'm still in the paying out the ass for training stage, won't be making money for a couple more years. Once I get a good job I'll buy myself a nice GMT though, thinking I'll pick up a Breitling when I get a decent entry-level job and then a Rolex when I make captain at a good one. The Panerai isn't really appropriate though, I need something with clearer markings for the GMT hand.

>>14808459
There's actually a huge pilot shortage going on, the market is the opposite of saturated. Basically the market WAS saturated to hell for decades and so barely anybody went into flying, and now all those old pilots are being forced to retire (65 is the limit for airlines) and there's not enough people to replace them. Even the regional and low-cost airline situation has changed massively in the last few years, pay at them has gone from absolute shit, like 30k, to a respectable 65k+ for first officers.

I don't think the Citizen there would really suit me, it'd look ridiculously tiny on me (I have decent-sized wrists, a 40mm looks dressy on me and a 46 is only slightly oversized) and I think the little digital display would be too small to read easily.

Maybe I'll try looking around at some of the local discount clothing places like TJ Maxx and Nordstrom Rack, I've seen some pretty good deals on Tissot and Hamilton ana-digis at those stores and some of those models are decent looking. If not I guess I'll probably just get pic related but I'm not in love with it.

Different anon, IIRC a lot of these casio's have 12~14~16mm lug width where springbars are while the straps are bigger. And 18mm is usually the minimum size for it being comfy more so on larger watches.

Though if you do get a canvas strap you can just cut it down to size.

[Anonymous No.14808556]

>>14808540
Good to know, thanks.
It seems like this model uses 17mm ones.
>Spring bars are not included with this watch strap. If new spring bars are required, please order the 17mm length of spring bar from the 1.8mm Diameter Straight Spring Bar Section. ( https://www.watchbattery.co.uk/shop/products/WSCS-10062474.shtml )

>Though if you do get a canvas strap you can just cut it down to size.
You can do the same with a Nato without fucking it up too, right? I was more concerned with being able to get a Nato on at all with this rubber casing around the bottom, see middle >>14808480 .

I love the look of this watch, really hope I'm able to snag it, it's only around $10 right now but there's 35 hours left on the auction.

[Anonymous No.14808576]

>>14808556
You have springbars already, otherwise your current strap wouldn't stay on.

Nato on these curved watches doesn't sit well unless you have specific adapters for specific models like 5600/5000 series gshocks that have plenty of strap adapters. If you're going to stretch the strap it's going to sit very high.

I'd get a black 2 piece 20mm nato/nylon strap and cut down the ends to fit in the 17mm lugs but do whatever you like.

>I'm a watch noob

That's no problem at all. We all were at some point. It's also funnier to piss off elitists on this board than people who want to get into the hobby.
I see the problem. Maybe google vids for your exact model or replacement bands and you will find a pic from another angle to get better info.
The problem with a canvas band could be, that there will be visible gaps. The resin band was fairly thick, so don't order too thin canvas straps.

it has a Swiss movement so obviously this isn't a patriotism thing to you (because clearly that watch fails that test), therefore you must just have a stick up your ass. This is pretty ironic considering you think $500 for a watch is expensive.

the thing you want cannot be achieved for sub $500. give up

Are the cases of these things really made in China?

Was choosing between the Stowa Verus klassik (new) or a grand seiko 6146 (over on the bay) - relatively the same price. The Seiko was bought by someone else; so im now really serious with buying a Stowa.

Either that or a vintage seamaster/geneve.
