Depends on the watch. Both Omegas can be set once every 3 months with regular wear and be fine for the time (though the numerical date will have to be reset depending on short months and February). I've never worn the Seagull for more than a month, but that was fine. The Waltham is dead on if need be, but I haven't run it more than 3 weeks at a time. Never tested the other ones. The Seamaster was so good at one point that I could predict the first strike of Big Ben's chimes, must to the astonishment of friends (it used to be 21 seconds before the hour, but I don't know what it is now since the renovation).

There is some website that will let you looks up the date by the model number, presumably its 80s or 90s but I don't really know. It's a cool watch to inherit because it's still easy to wear today with normal fits.

[Anonymous No.15436746]

>>15436731
Visit some watch stores, try a few things on; you'll figure out what you like and what definitely doesn't work, and then you can narrow down the possibilities until you settle on something. Then, find out the price, and start saving.

After a while, you should then start looking online on the secondary market, and if you find the model you want in decent to good condition, you can probably get a deal. Watches bought in the boutiques devalue heavily when you walk out the store, so the smart thing is to let other people take the hit and then buy secondary.

You still have to do research, and know your watches and your prices, as well as factoring in the cost of a possible full service. But it can be worth it if you're lucky and smart.

>pic related. It's in for servicing now, but the cost of a full service from Omega + the cost of the watch from Ebay is still less than half of what it cost new. Watches that make you happy don't have to cost a fortune Anon.

The conference yesterday revealed to the world the stuttering SWISS that run this scam. Price has already tanked 10%. Once it breaks through the $10,000 resistance the panic will begin and small ARCHIELUXURY subscribers and Hodinkee readers will begin to offload, with the flippers already long gone. Once it shoots through the $8500 mark, unabated FEAR will ripe through all Rolex owners. With all those who dumped their saving accounts into this scam twitching at their arsehole continuously while refreshing Chrono24. The $7000 mark will be met, the largest panic in history will ensue. The final deluded watch sites will begin to go offline, and wagecuckers with their middle management salaries loaded up in "investment watches" will be left with it stuck in their dressers, unable to move it to ebay to salvage some self respect. The price WILL tank at this point to sub $6000, and most probably sub AD retail levels. From that day forward the deluded ROLEXROLEXROLEX wagecucking "nouveau riche" middle managers who bought this STUNNA thinking it had investment value will go back to their jobs, with no money in their saving accounts, to be made redundant by the next wave of pajeets and changs arriving to undercut their wages. Deluded ROLEXROLEXROLEX will hold muh investment watches FOREVER, with no job, no money, and no value. I warned you Rolex owners. There’s still time to get out. Sell NOW.

[Anonymous No.15436793]

>>15436784
To answer your first question, I like to be here when I'm drunk. It's nice to see people enthusiastic about material possessions that I'm enthusiastic about too. It somehow makes things a little more bearable in the 'current year', when it's very difficult if not impossible to be honest about anything in public. There are watches here I've never seen before, and one or two I've picked up for myself as a result. So, it's in general a learning experience, but hopefully my thoughts can be of use to someone just getting into the 'hobby' (though buying things is not really a hobby, is it...).

I was asking what brought you here because it seems like you have nothing to contribute other than to complain about your current situation, which while problematic is outside the scope of /wt/ given that there are no direct solutions to your personal financial situation.

Interesting though:

Recessions are often good for high-end collectible markets. Classic cars, for example, went nuts after the '08 one. When more traditional investments like stocks go down rich people have a tendency to gravitate toward tangible assets that they think are more stable and/or have more potential for profit in a shorter time.

Morning lads, i´m strugling a lot here in UK when searching for a Vostok amphibia or Casio MDV 106 (any model). If they are cheap (10 pounds over the original price ofc) they´ll bleed me with imports/taxes/shipment. If they are not, they´ll cost me like 100 quid.

Use Meranom for Vostoks, they camouflage the package as broken watch parts or warranty returns.

Meranom for new Vostoks, eBay (and Meshok if you can speak Russian) for vintage Vostoks. What >>15437029 said is correct - Meranom are incredibly based and actively try to avoid getting you raped by customs charges. I have no idea when it comes to Casio, though.

[Anonymous No.15437318]

>>15437300
the bezel has a brass wire inside that controls the tightness of the bezel. The sharper the bent angles = the tighter the bezel.

1)tape up one lug so you dont scratch it by accident
2)insert butterknife/caseback pryer/blunt blade of choice between taped lug and bezel
3)grip it and with controlled force pop out the bezel
4)adjust wire with hands (not too much if not it'll be impossible to get bezel back on
5)put wire back inside the bezel, there is a groove. Make sure wire sits inside
6)press the bezel back down, you'll hear the 'pop' again. Remove tape.

Laco Augsburg.

The lume seems overbearing, but I like it, gives it charm and authenticity as to its purpose.

Other choices are the Orient pilot, Seiko snk, Avi 8 pilot, San Martin pilot and if you are daring, Boldr and Glycine have some okayish showings. But overall, I think Laco is the way to go.

Start out making steel cased digitals since they'd be low cost and there's a gap in the market. Then start on modifying off the shelf movements to get the features I want like changing subdial positions or adding interesting complications like power reserves on the backs. Try and aim for the £1000-£2000 range. Most of my designs would be amalgamations of vintage watches I like. Eventually start buying in movements unassembled and doing all the assembly / finishing in house, or enter a partnership with an ebauché to make movements especially for me, and move up in price accordingly

you can still wear leather NATOs as a wristlet but only the other way, where most of the strap is scrunched up under your wrist (annoying as I found out. I've since ordered and waiting for normal leather straps from AE). If you wear it the normal way, like that anon said--it will be very fat/sticking out of your wrist.

But if you do that (having it scrunch up under your wrist) you might as well just get a normal 2 piece strap... other alternative would be a single pass nato strap.

You can knock off about 20% from MSRP if you negotiate with an AD. They also go for around $5,500 in the grey market.

I don’t think you can go wrong with it at that price. Probably the best chronograph in that range. The B01 calibre is column wheel driven with a vertical clutch, kif shock protection system and a 70 hour power reserve with a COSC rating. The design itself is based on Rolexs’ 4130 architecture which powers the Daytona. It’s built for reliability and serviceability. Breitling spent 5+ years working and refining the movement. It also serves as the base for some of Tudors modern chronographs. For something equivalent from Omega for example you would have to pay close to $13,000 if not more depending on the model.

The Sinn Navitimer uses the V7750 which is a reliable and time tested/proven movement. Sinn probably adjusts it as well to make it more accurate. One thing I am not a fan of about the V7750 is the thickness. The Sinn 903 st is almost 15mm thick.

[Anonymous No.15438588]

>>15438581
I'd have to try one on to see if it would irk me, but I doubt it would be deal breaking. I have time to think about it but I'm leaning towards getting a new Brietling Navi either way, but the Sinn is a nice alternative for almost half the price. My main worry is having the watch a month later and regretting either settling for the "inferior" choice or being upset that I spent too much on a watch that looks and feels identical to a less expensive variant outside of movement semantics.

Go to an authorized dealer and try them out. Breitling itself I think has some watches that use the V7750, though I am not sure if that is still the case. If they do you could try them out side by side.

This. The Sinn 903 is absolutely fantastic. The only disadvantage it has to the newer Navitimers is the lack of in house movement, but that's to be expected at a fraction of the cost.

I get the same feel from expensive watches brands like rolex, omega, ap, and higher, that I get from luxurious smatphones like vertu and luxurious brands in general, I must say they are pretty cringe.
They just overly-do some item with cringe luxourious design, and some pretencious gimmicks, and also some of them LARP as being a tough manly tool for the adventurous man, specially diver and race watches

When you can get a nice seiko for a small fraction of the price but with no pretentious garbage and real soul.

they started as non pretentious actual tool watches. Like watches working blue collar people can actually afford and buy back then. A rolex only costed a few hundred $ in the 70s. But over the years and mainly due to quartz crisis they became luxury brands with increased pricing. Along with this luxury status and such prices, they have to offer their customers many new gimmicks, refined finishing and materials so as to justify their cost.

hes talking about new designs. And even though they "make one million per year" you still have to wait out your ass at the AD. Its not that impressive when you consider its a hell lot easier to just stagnate on a already tuned production line making the same stuff ad nauseum rather than having to design new watches and shift and reprogram machinery each time. Look at what Grand Seiko is doing, can you imagine how much behind the scenes work is needed to come up with 83748748 different dials and cases all the time and having to ensure the QC on those.

> After seven days, the watch must not have varied by more than one minute. Furthermore, the incrementation of all dial indicators (date, day, month, etc.) is tested.

The Sinn is the original Navitimer, they bought the rights to the design but not the name when Breitling went bust in the 70s.
Breitling today is a company formed in the late 70s by Sicura after they bought the name at auction, so the modern Breitling Navitimer is actually an homage.

Looks like total crap. Just wear a regular leather band. The bulk underneath must be a bitch, constantly snagging on things.
Natos are a meme. Your springbars won't fail under regular use. Loosen your band a bit when doing stuff that forces you to bend your wrist alot. This way you will not put as much tension on the springbars.
