What are some preferences you found out about your watches along the years?

I like mine utilitarian. I like not having to worry about a watch, it being light, resistant to the elements, but not overbuilt for situations I will never encounter.
I really came to appreciate quartz. Extremely robust, precise, ticking seconds (never got the whole smooth sweep thing since the only one with a really smooth sweep is a grand seiko). Having the ability to pick up and take off a watch whenever and it being relatively accurate (bar the date). Not having to fear magnetism, but not needing 200m+ WR to go from and to work. Also, titanium is magical.

In my observations normies that know nothing about watches are very impressed by chornographs and the amount of dial complications, but don't give a shit about plain dial watches, regardless of how expensive the watch is.

Probably explains why so many mallshitters are quartz chronographs or have fake subdials.

As time goes on, I find high end luxury less and less appealing.
I clearly remember being a kid and seeing designs like the Monaco or the Navitimer and thinking it was the coolest thing, then learning about the heritage of the current luxury brand and thinking about how great it would be to have a Rolex and the like.
Now that I'm slowly discovering more and more and actually have the means to afford watches, it sort of lost its luster. The current state of these brands certainly doesn't help with Rolex basically being a hype maching coming up with new dial colours and making the market explode instead of actually pushing the envelope. It's like the ones dominating the market are fine having been trendsetters once and not doing much to change.
On the other hand, the more I learned about older brands that have fallen off the map as well as smaller projects, the more I fell in love with the "shitter" range of 500-2000€ where you can find a lot of variety, a lot of unassuming names with some history behind them, a lot of unique and interesting designs.
But I'm sure everyone here will just call that a "poorfag cope", why else would you not want a DayDate and enjoy the freshest innovation of 1956 at the low price of 15k?

Do you like this watch a lot? Then yes. It's a seiko it will work nicely. Be aware that you need to get the movement serviced. That will not be as cheap as you might think. But that service is years away. Nobody really does a regular servicing. Usually people wait until it starts running slow or fast or something breaks.

If you're poor, just get a quartz or learn to do the service yourself. But sometimes you need new parts so find out where to get them before.

Invictas are future classics. First they'll go entirely out of fashion and many mechanical ones will get discarded as getting them repaired won't be economical but a few decades later they will be regarded as the most iconic watches of the first quarter of the 21st century. They'll be highly collectable, especially amongst a new generation of SEA watch collectors, with the most obscene and morbidly oversized limited edition models fetching exorbitant prices. Unironically the best long term investment pieces in the market.

I like it a lot, except for it having a blue strap. Would've preferred black but beggars can't be choosers. I don't like the idea of quartz as it'll need a battery plus I'd like to look at the automatic mechanism through the back. Seems like extra entertainment for the money.

What similar product Rolex offers?

[New MTG gshock No.15670973]

>Today, we’re bringing you news of yet another entry into the MT-G line of G-Shocks, their selection of premium metallic watches with carbon fiber reinforced cases. Let’s take a look at the new MTGB2000.
>The MT-G series is G-Shock’s play at the luxury sports watch market, and watches under this umbrella maintain the robust quality we all expect from a G-Shock but incorporate premium metallic finishing in a package that feels a bit more premium than the tried and true resin cases that the brand built its reputation on.
>The MTGB2000 features what G-Shock refers to as a Dual Core Guard Structure, that uses carbon fiber to reinforce a resin case. That resin case is then surrounded by a metal frame, which gives the watch the appearance of a full metal G-Shock, but keeps a lot of the lightweight qualities that have always been part of the appeal of G-Shock’s watches. G-Shock has been using carbon fiber reinforced cases for a while now, across a spectrum of price points.
>Naturally, these watches feature all the built in functionality that’s ever present on modern G-Shocks, including alarms, a chronograph, a world timer, and so on. They’re also powered by solar energy and Bluetooth enabled, allowing for adjustments to be made to the watch via a smartphone. In addition to the carbon fiber construction, the other relatively novel feature here is implementation of three dual coil motors to control the hands on the dial, a first in the MT-G series. According to G-Shock, this allows for instantaneous adjustment of the time when paired with a smartphone. As you can probably guess, these watches are not even a little bit diminutive, coming in at 55mm in diameter and an eye popping 15.9mm thick.

>The MTGB2000, in both variants, will be available in November through G-Shock retailers. The version with a blue bezel and urethane strap (MTGB2000B1A2) will sell for $950, while the variant with the metallic shell MTGB2000D1A) is priced at $1,000.

[Anonymous No.15671504]

>>15671428
It's a 1970's British made Timex Sprite with an M25 movement currently worth about 25-30 pounds. Getting it repaired won't be economical but don't sell/discard it, vintage Timexes are getting into cult status thanks to succesful re-editions and watch journo hype lately and it's probably the nicest vintage military-style Timex model you can get so I'd expect its value to increase.
I'd set up an auction watch for NOS M25 movements on ebay, sometimes they do show up and it should be an easy swap.

[Anonymous No.15671505]

>>15671495
a bezel swap is literally pop-on and pop-off
put some tape or paper on the end of a knife and stick it under the bezel and lift it up, it'll come off
just push the new bezel in place where the old one went
the bezels have a thin wire inside them, this holds them onto the case and gives the turning some friction - it may have to be adjusted if the bezel is hard to turn or too easy to turn

I purchased my first Rolex, a stainless Submariner, on the occasion of my commissioning in the US Army. This particular model was the choice of many officers posted to the 82d Airborne Division. I just wanted to fit in. Turns out the watch was more accurately the watch of choice for senior officers, accordingly a Second Lieutenant with a Rolex was a bit of a standout. I’d like to think my obvious leadership traits and command of all things military gave me entrè into positions requiring a bit more rank than I had with my gold bars (AKA Butter Bars). The fact remains that this watch started many a conversation and brought me to the attention of the right people and in no time I was working for Major General Roscoe Robinson, Commanding General, 82d Airborne Division. General Robinson went on to be the the first African American to attain the rank of Four Star General in U.S. military history. THE BACKSTORY: I purchased the watch new from the C.D. Peacock store at Oakbrook Centre, Illinois in 1975 for $299.00. I replaced the stainless band in 1994 for $900 plus change. The price included a factory level watch cleaning and a reseal of the watch to factory spec diving depths and Chrono testing . Everyone thought I was wearing a new Rolex. TIP: When stationed overseas military members can purchase one Rolex at a pretty good discount. Join the Army. See the world. Get a Rolex. Who knew?

tissot is fine but a bit boring
think about what kind of watch you want 1st
many brands with good value to choose from, dont fall too hard for the 'swiss made' meme, you can effectively disregard it in any watch sub 1000

That's the problem. His first watch. Implying that he will be so dissatisfied with the performance that he will purchase another one. I don't know anyone who just has a Seiko 5 as their only watch. Also just because some people loved the skx doesn't make it a good watch. It was actually a pretty mediocre watch with great mod potential and at a reasonable price point (at one time).

I like that one too looks-wise but it's pointless because it's coax so you're never going to find anyone who can service it. Honestly if it's not ETA it has to be something else that's really widespread like a Rolex.

Watchless poorfag here again. I've been thinking about my life and what kind of watch I'd have more opportunities to wear (I mostly dress casual/smart casual). Would this be a better buy than the presage? Reviews on youtube seem positive, especially on the lume.

not the same kind of watch
not even the same kind of movement

the presage is a dress watch (even though its kinda big and loud for one)

that citizen is a diver, obviously.
wearing a diver with a suit would be a faux pas but lesser people care about jt nowadays. Its a very sporty look though.

the citizen will have less upkeep and more durability and you can bang it around

the $300 to $3000 range is full of unremarkable watches, ones that make you feel that you should have spent more for a watch that you really wanted. be careful to make sure that youre 110% satisfied with whatever watch you plan to purchase

I've been enjoying wearing my simple little Seiko5 lately.

I would get the eco drive if I was you. It will actually keep time unlike the persage and you won't have to worry about keeping it wound or changing batteries (the citizen eco drive is powered by light, any light, even artificial light). The titanium is definitely a plus especially at that price range since it is less irritating to the skin than steel and lighter but harder. The bracelets on the promaster models are pretty good as well.

[Anonymous No.15672980]

>>15672977
I'll qualify that by pointing out that the solar-powered watches will lose their charge quite quickly if they're not exposed to light constantly.
That means even when they're under your sleeve.

[Anonymous No.15672984]

>>15672948
If you have to ask the answer is yes, I've got a solar casio going to 12 years and still haven't had to replace the battery

[Anonymous No.15672986]

Sup /wt/ I'm thinking of upgrading my daily beater from a Seiko 5 to something a little fancier. Been looking at Hamilton Khakis, possibly the automatic since I could swap out the strap to make it dressier but then I might be too worried about scuffing it up. Any other suggestions? 40mm or less and under 500 canuckbucks ideally.

[Anonymous No.15672991]

>>15672986
Orient Kamasu. It's versatile and can be worn everywhere, even formally. The Khaki has some questionable specs other than the movement, which is great.
