God fucking damnit, why does no one appear to make straps and cases for the G-shock G-100.
there's literally thousands for the GA-100 or the GD-100, but none for the G-100. Or if there are, there impossible to find, because obviously, every single search engine wants to be helpful and just shows me results for GD and GA.
Found some original parts (or so they say…) on UK-ebay, but if I get a new strap, a new bezel and a new battery, I might as well get me a new watch for just 5€ more.
fuck that shit.
Or please tell me that I'm just stupid and show me the aliexpress links for "my" case.

No don't do that. It might make it disintegrate.
Gently wash with mild soapy water and treat it with some kind of silicone lubricant.
Casio at least used to sell replacement parts directly. Dig around on the casio UK website and see if you can find a phone number to call. Ordering parts direct from casio (if they still sell them) is significantly cheaper that getting them from any of the internet resellers.

If you do wear a bracelet, wear it on the other hand, but then you might give off sleazy vibes if it is metal.
If you mean an actual bracelet with an integrated watch like they sell to women on aliexpress, just kill yourself famalam. If you wear a metal bracelet on top of your watch, Im gonna kill you myself.
Wearing bracelets with a watch combined with smart wear, you out yourself as newmoney tasteless pleb that dresses by how magazines and gurus tell him to.

It is certainly more advanced in some ways. Whether they are more reliable or not is still out for debate. Rolex’s 313x have like 30-40 years worth of history now of being absolute tanks. There is a reason why watchmakers will often rave about how great it is to service it.

Unlike Omegas Co-Axial movements which generally cannot be serviced by your average watchmaker down the street. As in literally they do not know how and don’t have access to the parts.

ya, i wasnt looking to buy a vostok but it is a nice colour.

this is the reference showing the original colouration of the dial

watch seems very lightly used, (looking at movement and caseback). It likely sat on a desk somewhere for a long time with sunlight hitting the bottom more to make it look like that

then why not just buy a new modern watch though?

imo its about the history/romance/"honesty" of the piece. Original hands, dial, movement etc. It all adds to the consideration vs the price quoted. And its a good feeling to know for certain (as much as possible) that this watch came from this factory in a certain time period, even if its some cheap shitter. If its a fake vintage and only looks like one its kinda lame

Because they don't make 'em like they used to anymore…

No, but seriously, a lot of styles aren't made anymore, but I still like them, and if there's a reissue, it's often either with a "new and improved size" (and thus fucked up proportions, making it look like shit) or with a price that's so inflated that it's not even funny anymore or both of them.

Sure, give me the machinery they use in those factories, and I wouldn't have an issue with it.

The only hard part are the finishing techniques, but that's like saying "you can't dislike engravings if you can't engrave something!".

200 parts is simple. You think there's one fucking dude there who builds every single rolex? Cheaper places have machines, really cheap places have babushkas who each put in a single piece. All these things are designed in CAD, and before that, they were blueprints and tool paths.

I'm looking for a new automatic watch for work, preferably something anti-magnetic due to the nature of where I'm working. Something ≤ £2000 would be nice, leather strap or bracelet is fine.
Pic related would be nice but it seems like a bit of a meme for the price.

I think all current 3 hander Rolexes (except the Cellini) have that magnetic shielding that the Milgauss has. At least the Air King has it, the Datejusts, Explorer and Oyster Perpetuals might also have it, I'd have to check to be sure though. They might not advertise it.

What the fuck are you even talking about? Mechanical is even more redundant, and parts being made in chingchongnipnong in another factory down the street from the quartz manufacture is hardly "soulful" unless it comes with hours and hours of finishing. A Seiko 5 doesnt have soul, nor does a Rolex.

I have the PADI Turtle still with the metal bracelet it came with, I might pick one of these up sometime. They're just a bit expensive, but I imagine it'd be worth it.

Mine wears an Amphibia. The 420 case is quite small an the blue scuba dude with a blue Perlon strap looks really nice. Not *that* feminine that I couldn’t wear it, but also not tacticool-masculine. And the timing bezel is really handy to track our toddlers sleep times.

You are talking to the kind of gibbering retards who read ads and probably honestly believe shit like "diamonds are forever/a girl's best friend".

Owning a mechanical is like owning a musket because semi-auto is "soulless" and doesn't have the elegant simplicity of carefully hand loading your shit.

Why is it that most of the coveted luxury watches look like complete fucking garbage? Unironically worse than mall shitters.
>Rolex with their clownish cyclops and dated fluted bezels, Crayola color schemes and shitty Maxi case, or designs that are just plain bad like the Air King
>Patek Nautilus, a stupid looking watch usually encrusted in diamonds
>Richard Mille watches that look like something your kid would win at Chuck E. Cheese
>AP Royal Oak, a bunch of cool things mashed together until the resulting watch is hideous
>RO Offshore, which looks like a fucking Invicta
Nobody can explain why these are good watches either, it's always muh heritage, muh craftsmanship, it's expensive u just jealous, things that have nothing to do with the actual design of the watch

They're much to look "distinctive" so normies can instantly recognize them from a distance. It's about showing off for these people, not muh craftsmanship or anything else.

The best luxury watches are stuff like that Citizen 0100. Plain, unassuming, but with a high tech movement and costs like $16k.

Because different people enjoy different things. Honestly, I agree with you. All of those watches are completely hideous, the only rolex I'd even consider wearing for a second is a vintage datejust, and that's only assuming it was free because I wouldn't pay any money for one.

But you have to realise there are people with millions of dollars in the bank who have no taste. These are the people who rely on advertisements to tell them what they need to buy.

smart "watches" are not watches. anyone who says a smartwatch is a superior form of watch is on the same level as saying you don't need a watch because you have phones. or saying you don't need a watch because you can just stop someone on the street and ask them the time. smart "watches" have no independent ability to keep track of time. the whole point of a watch is independent timekeeping.
if you cannot understand this, you are either trolling or retarded

Do you think smartwatches just cease to function if the phone is more than a meter away or something?

You're probably going to get quartz level accuracy from a smartwatch, the issue is purely one of battery life, because powering a microprocessor when much simpler, lower powered components would do is just dumb.

Why are you this autistic? I don't like smartwatches, I don't consider them watches in the same way I don't consider my computer or my phone to be a watch, because for me the most basic requirement for being a watch is that it can live without an external source of electricity for a year. That's the absolute baseline minimum for something to be a watch.

But acting like a smartwatch can't keep time is retarded.

He (You) said Orients were overpriced. Implying that they cost more than his Guess shitter. They cost more because the Guess shitter is a quartz while the Orient is automatic. Considering that significant difference, the Orient is not overpriced at all. In fact the Guess is probably more overpriced.
Your question is stupid because it relies on the Guess and Orient being the same price and quartz. They are not the same in price or mechanism. So your question falls apart at its very premise and you are a dishonest bullshitter.

But automatic watches are objectively inferior to quartz. There is no possible way to consider the Orient reasonably priced when it costs more and does less.

What planet are you people from? A smartwatch can keep time independently, maybe there's some model that doesn't have this basic function built in from Apple, but maintaining a clock signal is basically as simplistic as you can get when it comes to computing.

Now, is it going to keep time independently WELL? No. But if a smartwatch wasn't a closed off piece of shit, it'd be pretty trivial to write an offset program to correct it.
