I need a watch for under 100€ that I can just wear every single day. Not dressy but not too funky, although it can have fun colors like orange, green, etc. I don't give a fuck about movements.

[Anonymous No.15647137]

>>15647063
>how can you tell if a watch fits your wrist? does it matter?

first >>15647070 .Second ,size your wrist width and see your wrist shape, round/flat. The next step is having the watch size, the case size, the lug to lug size, and the lug shape.
The watch does not fit you if the lugs are on the air on the most relaxed position, and also the lug to lug never should surpass the max wrist width. Overall, to see the fit, put the watch, look at the mirror and put the arm on the position Silvester is, that's the relaxed position, the other position is hand at the pocket.When you are checking the time the arm is not relaxed and is rotated, decreasing the overall arm wrist, many people do it when taking picks so the watch looks bigger and less proportionated.
See the pic, the watch is huge, but never cover the entire wrist width, that's the perfect fit, at the sides of the watch the arm should be visible. You can improve the fit if you get a smaller watch, specially if its not a tool watch, some watches are good when they are big, but the rest are not like that. Also you must be secure about your looks, you can pull things even if they don't fit, but if you don't have big dick energy you will look like a kid with his father's watch.

I purchased this watch new for between $6200 and $6500. It’s a purchase I wish I had not made. I like the watch but find it nearly impossible to read the time! I contacted B&R to see if they could make the indices a more contrasting color..a service which I informed them I would happily pay for. They laughed in my electronic face and refused to even entertain the idea! So..while I’ll keep the watch, I will most likely not buy another B&R though there are several I would like.

muh in house movement+pleb minimalistic design+affordable luxury.

They have a niche with their designs and they appeal to more people. Tool watches?, tons of companies make tool watches and sport watches.Nomos makes slim and dressy/casual watches for homos, no other brand is so focused on that type of watches,even their diver is pretty similar to the rest of the models. So if you have around 3k and like that style you can have an awesome watch with in house movement that is really thin and looks good, only bad thing about them are the lugs if you are on the wristlet side. Their top movement in the Lambda model is also extremely nice, hard to believe its on a sub 6k watch (sub 6k for the steel version, gold versions are on the 15k range), that shows they are a real brand and that make their own shit and not just modify ebauches like other brands.Not saying other brands are shit compared to Nomos, but nomos deserves the praise it gets, they are good watches with actual pretty acceptable prices.

definitely small. I have 6.5" wrist and a 37mm case/42 lug-to-lug is about right, I could go a few more mms L2L but beyond that the lugs will hang over my wrist, and you're 6"? no way is the large one going to fit.
the Ventura comes in several variations. I love the Elvis, but I don't believe it comes in a small size, unfortunately.

Thoughts on these Earnshaw watches? I'm in need of a black-strap watch, and these are tempting me desu. Both at £129.99 on TKMaxx, down from an RRP of £500.

What's wrong with TKMaxx? Their whole gimmick is selling designer stuff at discount prices, and that works for me. Surely it's the manufacturer rather than the retailer who's important.

Orient Bambino seems quite nice too though

your skin gives you reasonable protection, although 24/7 would probably eventually give you a nice melanoma . once it's been internalized is when it fucks up your more-susceptible cells. so breathing paint dust or eating the paint or something. and that only has to happen once, if you're unlucky.

>I'm in need of a black-strap watch
straps can be changed freely, in less than a minute.
you should not buy watches based on straps (unless its integrated).
Most watches do not have integrated straps and can go on any strap that you want. Leather straps can be bought for $10 and up.

i dont see anything super wrong with the pricing on these. You can ignore the MSRP price, its always heavily inflated, especially for "mall brand" watches like these.
the RG is much, much nicer looking than the YG, but it is also bigger which is not a plus.

[Anonymous No.15648999]

I retract this statement after seeing the cutouts.
those pointy bits throw off the raw numbers. the watch could really do without them, imo, but ultimately they don't ruin it or anything.

[Anonymous No.15649013]

It's literal Chinese shit, not the good Chinese shit, because that exists, but the bad Chinese shit that holds a value of $5.

Other things to mention, it is 42mm, which is way too big, there is no mention of the movement which is without a doubt a $1 quartz and I think the mention on the site that "it comes in a box" should tell you everything.

I mean, if you like it go for it, but there are literally millions of better pieces out there for the price, as this one is bottom of the barrel.

nigga you can literally see the balance wheel on both watches. They are mechanicals. Non-branded, so they arent worth much, maybe $20-30 for the movement itself. On a good day they might be seagulls at best, or maybe not at worst. The rest of the price is the dial, casing, strap, brand etc.

day 2 of my new citizen chandler.
coming from dailying a weekender, not having indiglo is going to take some getting used to. the lume does not seem to be any stronger than the weekender, so unless it's been around bright light recently it isn't especially bright. although maybe a bit brighter when fully charged? it is an impressive color of blue, anyway.
the cool part that I didn't realize yesterday is that the thin bezel is highly polished, so it looks really sparkly against the brushed case, pic related.
love having a day date. they do tend to throw the balance off, but this one isn't particularly egregious as far as they go. but I'm a bit of a space case so having today's day and date at a glance is really helpful to me, lol.

>>15649031
the point of lume is that when it's starting to get dark, it's very bright because it's been charged by sunlight for hours. after 20-30 minutes, it will greatly diminish in brightness, but then when you wake up at 4-5AM your eyes will be super dilated from sleep and in that low-light vision the low glow of the lume will still let the time be readable. it's obviously not as bright as an actual light behind the dial, but it doesn't need batteries and is much more elegant since it's passive.

im not that dude and you can clearly see that they are mechanicals. one of those watches is almost a skeleton.

mall brands do have mechanicals, you know. For example Fossil has no-name mechanicals, Timex gets their mechanicals from seagull. Just because its a mall brand doesnt = quartz shit all the time

Ever so slightly modified Seiko, Miyota or ETA movement.

[Anonymous No.15649055]

>>15649036
right, but I guess I meant in comparison to radioactive "always on" stuff like radium and tritium tubes. I guess I assumed much more expensive, modern watches e.g. rolex had some kind of modern lume that was more comparable to the radioactive stuff but I don't know why I thought that. just figured there'd be tech progress in that area. I know my watch is still a budget model but was hopeful for something above weekender-tier but not surprised that it's similar.
indiglo is pretty awesome, though, but yeah, that's a separate thing.

watch some LUME WARS and you'll find out very quickly that expensive watches do not have any better lume than cheap watches. Many times a $300 microshitter is going to win over a rolex or whatever.

get the O.helios if you like open hearts and put it on a leather strap, its easy to do yourself. Now you have 2 looks to swap between, bracelet and strap. Actual watch brand, long history, inhouse movement, its much better horogically.

do not fall for the MSRP scam. The watch was never worth that much in the 1st place. Its a common practice but some brands like Invicta are very guilty of this.

>OMG, THIS WATCH IS 86% OFF, PLZ BUY
also since tjmax is a grey seller (i assume), these are very likely old stock that they are desperately trying to sell, hence the steep discounts.

[Anonymous No.15649152]

In-house movement means you won't find anyone to service your watch.
Custom-made movement means ETA or Seiko automatic movement with the brand's name engraved on the counterweight.
"movement made to our specifications" means they adjusted a Miyota or an ETA before putting it in the watch so you don't have to do it yourself.
