thanks for replying its been difficult to decide. Would the POWERMATIC 80.811 have plastic parts (one on the gentleman powermatic 80). As for the hamiltons, I was referring to both of them. I feel that the tissot may be too upmarket to wear to graduate school but compared to the hamiltons, the tissot is more versatile and will be worn for longer I imagine.

They bought themselves out from a conglomerate a few years (or decades) after the quartz crysis, they make several calibers in house, their less expensive models of course only have a no-idea-what-spec Sellita, I think, with a different rotor. I love the turbine bezel, personally and the pointer date models are very elegant, good enough to be a one-and-done watch.

[Anonymous No.15773138]

>>15773125
They're a great brand. Over 100 years old, and one of the few genuinely independent Swiss brands still going. I don't love too many of the watches since I'm more into vintage, but love the Divers 65 range (even if there are probably too many now) and the Big Crown, particularly in bronze. The Aquis is excellent for the money, and the new one with the Oris caliber 400 is pretty incredible with its 5 day power reserve and 10 year warranty, but people are saying there are some problems with it.

Back around the year 2000 Lange gave the Swiss a huge wake-up call.
A decade or so later the Swiss formally upped their game.

Yes, but no other brand in Grand Seiko's price bracket wants to spend as much on external finishing as GS does. That said, Rolex has better end link to case fitment, less flex in their bracelets, and glide-lock and JLC has better movement finishing on their entry level steel models. Plus Rolex and JLC have free sprung balance movements while, for now, GS remains mostly on regulated balances.

You can't just point to any one manufacturer in that price bracket and say that they are unambiguously the best over the other.

You aren't wrong, but again, you can also point to GS bracelets being a clear step behind Rolex. With GS introducing their own in-house escapement and free sprung balance, all they would need now to have a legitimate claim to be able to BTFO all their competitors is to upgrade their bracelets.

Some, the ones containing instruments are even larger I believe. They make the propilot in 40/41mm tho, the newer models have applied indices instead of a simple printed dial. Took a long time, seeing as cheap shitters also have applied hour markers, but the watch industry takes decades to catch up to buyers demands.

I already own Lange and I could afford that if I wanted to but I would not buy that model for a few reasons. Firstly its a large and very thick watch. No matter how good the movement is the watch is too big. Honesty I don't like the dial, it's too busy. Patek perpetual calander chronographs are the benchmark for how to design those. Lastly the resale market for Lange currently sucks. You can go into their boutique's and get a discount on almost all their watches. It's stupid to buy Lange at list price atm and even buying used to remove depreciation the 2nd hand prices aren't going up.

>Tweeds are an icon of traditional Scottish and Irish clothing, being desirable for informal outerwear, due to the material being moisture-resistant and durable. Tweeds are made to withstand harsh climates and are commonly worn for outdoor activities such as shooting and hunting, in both Ireland and Scotland.
>Traditionally used for upper-class country clothing like shooting jackets, tweed became popular among the Edwardian middle classes who associated it with the leisurely pursuits of the elite.It is not uncommon for members of long-established British and American land-owning families to wear high quality heirloom tweed inherited from their grandparents, some of which pre-dated the Second World War.

China has ruined much of decoratory finishing styles for me with overuse. Now when I see everything covered in perlage, I just think it looks cheap. Stripes are better, but anglage is the only thing that really pleases my eye anymore. I'd rather have a nice brushed finish or even a matte velvety surface than everything visible covered with shiny swirly bubbles.

then chinese proved they could do it, on everything, for pennies, just for the hell of it

>Perhaps the most interesting case interpretation of the three, however, is the Rado True SquareXFormafantasma (a Dutch/Italian design studio) ($2,550)
>Rendered in a clean light matte gray, the streamlined 38mm ceramic case takes inspiration from demi-hunter pocket watch cases by extending the bezel over nearly the entire top surface of the case. Instead of a wide sapphire crystal and a dial beneath, the True Square Formafantasma offers only a narrow circular sapphire window onto the dial surface below.
>Naturally, with such a small space to work with designing a visually cohesive dial for the Rado True Square Formafantasma is something of a challenge. Its solution is elegantly simple, with a minimal set of stick hands differentiated only by line weight.

so this watch only has a very small display window, the differentiation being the hour hand is thicker than the minute hand.

Also a miyota 9015. Seems like running the fastest dial up, and 2nd fastest dial down is a trait of the movement.

The solar atomic squares are pretty nice, they don't have the sensors that the rangeman watches have, but they are also smaller and much more versatile.
The rangeman is pretty chunky costs about twice as much and also has an altimeter/barometer, a compass, and a thermometer.
They also track sunrise/sunset times.
You can also save date/time/altitude/temp readings so you can view them later.

I know it's far from perfect but I'm really happy the miyota 9000 series movements are making high beat and more importantly thin movements available and affordable for microbrands.

I'm pretty sure the compass and barometer work wile you are wearing it but yeah you have to take the watch off and leave it somewhere for 10 minutes to get a good temperature reading.

[Anonymous No.15774868]

Now the newest rangeman is basically a g-shock tough smart watch. I has gps integration and you can track all kinds of stuff, lap data, gps lap times, altitude charts, heart rate during training.
I might get one but i will wait for gen 2.

The Seiko sub-division that manufacturers the cases and bracelets for Seiko's upper mid-range and up models and does the basic machining and finishing (non-zaratsu) for Grand Seiko cases and bracelets makes Casio's steel cases and bracelets. It's why the external finishing on the Oceanus and Mr. G line is so good.

>Pros
+sapphire bezel and sandwich dial are sexy vintage touches and very well executed
+finishing is great for the money
+movement is very solid and accurate
+tropic strap is god tier comfy, very supple
>Cons
-lume on bezel is pretty weak
-my bezel came slightly misaligned, an easy fix though when I can be bothered to get around to it
