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.

I carry picrel in the same configuration on a daily basis. I listen to music such as youtube related. I drive mostly at night and consume a fair amount of cocaine about once a month. I also have sex with a Korean MILF in my car a couple of times a week.

All of the above is true and I am aware I need to get my life under control. As part of my reformation I need a watch. What would you suggest?

AN is a real brand
they are old heritage swiss with a lot of history, but no longer original family or group owned

>During the first half of the 20th century, Tramelan was specialised in the production of movements and complete watches and around 1950 became the third pole of Swiss watch-making industry employing around 800 trained watch-makers in 150 factories. In those years, in the historic head office of Tramelan, the company Nicolet regulated and finished practically the whole production of Venus movements, whose components were assembled in different sophisticated calibres with excellent finishing: complete calendars, chronographs with “column wheel” including the 175 with split second pusher in the winding crown. During the 1950s Nicolet produced also the movement with the patented “Ajustor”, an ingenious mechanism, that when applied to the movement, allowed its regulation without having to open the watch.

Don’t let fanboys tell you “hurr durr, professional is the only real one” cause chances are, they don’t have the “real one” (321) either. It’s just justification of effort (a.k.a. buying an overpriced watch because of a tale)

You're making a lot of assumptions... I don't care about the moon thing. I'm talking about design, the balance on the professional is much better, even though reduce is smaller, the sub dials look like they are way too far apart.
If you're happy good for you, but in my opinion there's only one speedmaster the profissional. I'm not even a fan of the pre professional, the lugs are way too slim for the watch.

>>15800718
In my opinion, that watch should be more on the left, what I do is stretching my hand upwards, put two fingers on top of the wristbone touching the hand,and that distance is were my watch will sit, the two fingers space will be free always, so the watch won't never touch the wrist or the bone.I'm amazed when I see people with their watches on top of the bone.

Yes, I appreciate the utility of quartz watches, I'm happy I can see the time at night, chrono stuff and getting alarms.

You should probably just get the one from borealis, it's going to have 90% of the feel and performance of thw isofrane original it just is made out of a standard vulcanized rubber instead of the property formula isofrane uses. Also half the cost of the isofrane straps is that the buckles are hand finished and polished seems kind of unnecessary to me.

I believe this is actually the new version since the J09 was on Jomashop a while before the JH9 but they are sold out now. That said I think the J09 has a better dial. But it all depends on your preference of style.

J09 is on their website currently though:

https://www.armandnicolet.com/product-page/a663aaa-nr-ma4660a

That's the version that looks better to me, wish I could find it for an insane discount like some others.

I guess it went J09>JH9>J09 reissue then? Since they say "By popular demand, the unmistakable J09 collection returns"

You might be right, the J09s that are sold out look slightly different than the current J09 on their website. If that's the case I'd expect the new J09 to hit Jomashop sometime next year.

“The two screws on top can tilt the bridge from side to side while the screw on the underside, together with the ruby ball, can tilt the bridge in the other direction, as well as raise or lower the bridge,” explains Mr Lass, adding “The screws act against each other and will lock the bridge in place after adjustment.”

That Seamaster is absolutely disgusting. Blingy trash with shitty laser marking that can't even draw proper waves on the dial.

referring to what?

It's a standard 5600E with "carbon" case instead of plastic and a custom bezel/strap. It shouldn't cost more than $100.
Also, solar is a meme. Regular CR20xx battery can last a decade.

I believe one of the straps is carbon fiber reinforced. That tends to be pretty expensive, the Japanese GW-S5600-1JF with the carbon fiber reinforced strap goes for about $250.

So you have to buy it with all those straps and 2 bezels? Black set defeats the purpose of getting this version of a watch, and I don't see a matching bezel the 3rd strap. You're more likely to just use the standard set and keep the rest in a box. This is kind of dumb.

Why wouldn't Casio just make a normal square G-Shock with a steel case + screw-down back, and without stupid modern shit like Bluetooth?
There are only two options: DW-5035D (anniversary edition) with all that gold shit on it, and GW-5000, which is Japan-only, and also has some unnecessary stuff (solar/radio) that drives the price up.

Casio's weird. I think some of their watches would look much much better in a simple 3-hander layout without the extra dials. Maybe an extra GMT hand or a battery indicator but definitely not as busy as most analog g-shocks.

>At least with the movement in the Stowa its serviceable by any local watchmaker. Can't say the same about the Dornbluth
Actually you're wrong, the Dornbluth caliber 99.1 is copied off a Unitas architecture.
And even the fully in-house caliber is so basic any skilled watchmaker can service and even repair it.

You have to be mad to pick a cookie-cutter JLC over a fully independent Dornbluth.

I agree on the case back. I also wish Casio would make their outer bezel from carbon fiber reinforced polymer, rather than resin. Their standard resin gets gunky in the humidity, brittle in the heat, and after a few years the lugs and hard corners start cracking. The best alternative is a stainless steel bezel, but a carbon fiber would be lighter and just as strong. Imagine having a G Shock with the classic steel case and a carbon fiber bezel, it would be indestructible

Do there exist any 36mm Dress/Sports watch hybrids other than the Explorer (1)14270 and the Black Bay 36?
