This thread is about the appreciation of watches and their design, their history, and the engineering and materials that are required to make a functioning timepiece.

Looking for a tool watch with a diving bezel for under 1000. Would prefer it under 40mm with a mechanical movement and possibly a date function. Some designs that I liked the look of were the baltic blue gilt diver and some blue oriss

There’s nothing wrong with not being able to afford luxury watches, or deciding that you don’t want to waste money on them.

I'm a poorfag, if I had the money for the cheapest rolex (datejust?) I'd still buy a GS snowflake instead and pocket the difference. 10 grand for a watch made of steel?!?! Some high end watches (that I'll never be able to afford) look gorgeous but a lot of them are tacky and are being bought because of the name on the dial. Like that gaudy rainbow rolex on Mark Wahlbergs wrist in a pic from a few threads ago...dumb as a boston area book report.

the stock strap is shit. Like real shit. So get a nato from aliexpress or whatever.
movement is basic and not very accurate, expect it to run +20-30s fast.
display caseback is nice.
all in all its a entry mechanical, dont expect too much of it. There is no handwinding which can be annoying once you own a few watches.

also take a look at orient tristars/flights, they occupy the same niche and at the same prices and functionality. There are also other choices in homage brands. Another $100 will get you the san martin flieger with a better movement and WR.

It's not a high end watch, probably not worth stealing a deal by anyone here: BM7360-82L, RRP is £269. Listed on the majority of sites between £200-230 (depending on dial colour) but the one site I've seen is listing it at £179, 34% lower than RRP. Even for online retail which has lower operating costs that still seems too low a price.

Thank you for not letting me hanging with the curiosity. That seems not too dodgy, imo. Don't know how much significance the RRP has in britain, but here in germany it's often too high on purpose and stores write it on the tag to make us feel good about how much we "saved". Punch the model into google, i found them being all over ebay and other shops for around 200€. But some go for 180€, Mind the VAT of 16%. Wait for the conformation of that guy, but i'd also say it's pretty safe. If that store exists physically, then they have a return policy and abide by british law. So no scams.

Very normal and good. That means that you just had an incomplete impression and an impulsive urge.

If the feeling does not go away, wait for a while, get distance to a product and forget about it a bit.

To be clear, there are limitations with the design—using the navigation tools require pairing the Rangeman with a smartphone, and the GPS mode will drain the battery even in direct sunlight. But it still represents a notable step to address the issue of battery life for extended backcountry trips. ???

however it does not have hacking, the seiko does.
iirc the seiko NH38A also can handwind. (its just a dateless version of nh35)

While I'm not in the position to do so, probably between 2,500 and 3,000 depending on condition.

To be completely honest, I’m a first time luxury watch buyer so I asked because i frankly don’t know much shit.

The innards look rough around the edges but it looks to be all authentic. Im still inclined to get it due to the price (1,600 seems pretty good even for a reworked dial) and its not easy to come across a watch like this from where I’m from. I still worry though if I’m making a right decision.

a redial is worthless, this is true not just for rolex but any vintage watch, even for shitters
a original rolex with heavy patina is worth its price specifically because of the original dial. With a redial the value of the watch drops like 75%
100% original parts as much as possible, you should also look out for overdone polishing where the edges are worn down/lost
the movement should look pristine, a gunked up watch will cause all sorts of problems down the road and you'd have to spend extra to service+clean it

all watch manufacturers websites are shit beyond belief.

What does /wt/ think of Namoki ?

It seems to be cheaper to build an SKX style watch from the ground up than to buy you and mod it slightly yourself after.

I thought it might be a fun project to put together a beater.

There was ONE website that was well made, had watches that adjust to the current time, forgot the name, though, might have been a microbrand.

I've heard shitty things about MWC .I think they are a very budget version of CWC.

The CWC is a lot more expensive though to be fair they have quartz watches which are more expensive. I guess it's if you want a legit tough military watch or you fancy a larp.

of course ive been googling this shit for like 3 hours
im trying to figure out whether there are subtle differences or different models by the same name
like, if you look at some srpc97j1 pics the dial looks much darker than in the url of the sary103 i posted
but this could just be caused to lighting, but im worried that its a slightly different model
so instead of being a reddit smart ass, maybe just answer my question?

One is the Japanese product code for the watch and the other is the Global sales code. they are both the exact same fuyugeshiki model just packaged for different markets. They probably have different SKU for what is in the box, instruction manuals etc in Japanese vs global instructions

They are the exact same watch from what I read. Not sure why I am helping after being called a "reddit smart ass" you thin skinned little bitch. If you don't like people being a smart ass maybe you should fuck off the reddit and you can downvote replies that aren't tailored to your delicate sensibilities.

"There’s no difference in the actual watch head or bracelet itself - SARY103 is the model number for Japan, and SRPC97(J1) is the international model number for the rest of the world, for the exact same watch. Both models added up together are limited to 7,000 total, but it’s not known how many there are of each model number within that."

Probably, isn't the first time Seiko having double references (see the new Sharp Edged watches)
