Recommend me a watch under $300 and under 38mm. My only requirements are sapphire, 100-200m WR, and a timing bezel.

I don't think you understand how much skilled hand labour goes into hand finishing a movement to HH standards, or how expensive that many hours of skilled labour is.

Grand Seiko's HH models are manufactured in a separate production chain than regular GS models. They are made by the Micro-Artist Studio which operates like a small independent watchmaker with a small number of highly skilled employees making a small number of watches per using using extensive amounts of hand labour per watch.

If more people had some familiarity with the huge gulf that exists in any manufacturing discipline between mass produced products and handmade, hand finished products, it would be easier for them to understand why hand made and hand finished watches are inevitably going to be expensive to produce.

At a 1k price point you will have a genuinely hard time finding watches with better external finishing. While the dial furniture and hands aren't anything to write home about, the case, dial and bracelet all offer very good finishing at that price. Most other brands in the same price range will have similar issues with there hands and dial furniture, but will also have mediocrely finished cases, dials and bracelets on top of that.


If you want external finishing from Seiko that will stand up to macro scrutiny you will need to spend a fair bit more than that to get a model made in the GS production chain.

>ice and you have the same shit then.
A $200 edifice won't have external finish on the same tier as upper mid-range Seikos, nor will it have a mechanical movement (which are still more expensive to make than inexpensive quartz movements).

Casio models with similar external finishing to upper mid-range Seikos are in the Oceanus line, because Casio literally outsources the manufacture of the cases and bracelets to Seiko for those. Casio Oceanus models are also not $200.

[Anonymous No.15989056]

>>15989046
Yes, but the Oysterquartz is different enough in design from the Royal Oak to not be a straight up copy of it. It's more like a homage inspired by the style of watch. That Tissot from the late 1970s is almost a 1:1 copy of the Oysterquartz design. I think that is enough of a difference to matter.

HAQ movements, particularly those that utilize metal construction and are jeweled, cost more to make than normal quartz movements, even those with extra features like the Casio Oceanus line.

Seiko spent years trying to expand the global market presence of their their higher end Seiko and GS offerings to little success because globally their attempts to offer good values up and down their range caused the average watch consumer to look down on them as a cheap value brand.

So now, they are going full Swiss and making their entry level and mid-range much worse values as well as much more aggressively pricing their near-GS models and new GS models. The sad part is that it's already starting to *work* and you can see perceptions of Seiko's brand and GS's brand improving in real time among non-autists.

each piece on its own is great, but they make a collection that is both full of redundancies and full of holes.

You don't have a dress watch (No, the Seamaster is not a dress watch, James Bond is a fictional character). The GMT makes the Seamaster and Explorer unnecessary, unless you plan on diving deeper than 100m.

The Speedmaster is nice, but it's also the most basic bitch chrono. You know why people like it? BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING CHEAP. They tell people it's because of space or they like a manually-wound chrono or some shit.

Also, do you need a Chrono? How often do you time shit?

They were all redundant. A steel sports watch ~40mm give or take on a bracelet. Let's be honest, aside from the chronograph, they're all basically the same. The Omega had a blue dial, so that was neat, but that was about it.

I swapped out a bunch of straps for the bracelets, but I prefer bracelets so that didn't help, and the Rolex bracelet is the most comfortable.

>>15989904
I would get the red Kamasu. Red dial watches are rare, and when you find one it's either shit quality or very pricey. The Kamasu does it well and it's got a really nice design. It's the kind of watch that can be your one and done if you just buy some different straps with it and it has its own style.
The Samurai is nice and all but it's like a young man's watch because it's got this aggressive industrial kind of look to it. If you can pull it off it is cool and the case and dial are nice to look at because of all the dimensionality so it might be more fun to look at in the long run, but I just don't think it has the timelessness and versatility of the Kamasu which feels like a modern classic.
Alternatively you could get the red Kamasu and the blue Samurai and you basically have a well rounded collection right there. The Kamasu easily dresses up on a leather strap.

Do you actually know why you want these? Because you know that no one will care when you try and explain what they are and why it makes the movement "better".

>hacking seconds
Doesn't matter on a chronograph. The running seconds subdial is just to indicate that the watch is running. If you want to time something, you've got the fucking chronograph function.

>chronometer certification or better
This is useless. Rolex marketing has made you believe it's actually indicative of accuracy. It's just paying a third party to say "Yup, it's good." JLC, for example, doesn't bother paying COSC so they can be allowed to use the word "chronometer".

The JLC Polaris Chrono is great, by the way. Get that one. Wear something you literally won't see on every beginner watch geek's wrist.

I want a column wheel because it’s a more classical design and has better pusher feel. I want a vertical clutch so the chrono seconds starts without any jump and I can leave it running for however long I want without having to worry about wear and tear.

I wouldn’t use the hacking function to time anything, I just like the ability to sync to a reference time.

Cosc certification is the least crucial of the criteria but I like knowing that the watch is rated by a third party as having a certain accuracy. It’s just something I like.

The only thing I dislike about the JLC is that there’s no constant seconds so the dial has a bit less visual interest when the chrono isn’t running and you can’t immediately tell that the watch is still ticking.

you get on the list by walking in and buying six Datejusts for the family and a Day-Date for yourself.

Haha. By the way, are Day Dates as fucking stupid to get as Daytonas? If I’m already saving 20 gs for a watch I might as well double it

Hah, I posted about the RLG in the first place and I bought the RZE too because I was looking for a titanium watch, but I got the blue because I guess I'm just more conservative in my color choices. I need some of these Jody-endorsed shitters I've ordered to get here so I stop buying new ones.

[Anonymous No.15990072]

No, Day-Dates are easy-peasy to get. Any color you like. Great watch, by the way. It's hard to imagine, but it actually flies under the radar if you get a white gold or platinum version and if you get it on a strap.

They should be readily available from an AD but no longer at a discount. Even the precious metal models which you used to be able to get huge discounts on.

The platinum DD is maybe the best watch Rolex make and comparatively stealth wealth.

[Anonymous No.15990087]

>>15990072
Yeah, because it's been the watch of old greaseballs for so long, one easily forgets that the 3255 is a brilliant movement, it's got 100m of water resistance. Even the lume is pretty good. Aside from how it's marketed, how is it not a luxury sports watch?

Personal preference. PP doesn't make anything quite like the Day-Date. And I don't think you're getting haute horologie from Patek at the $40k level. Even the annual calendar starts at arund $50k, if I remember.

That's for something that can't take a bump or get wet.

Not really that many choices on the market that even meet most of those criteria. Breitling has a few B01 and B09 powered models that hit most of them barring the water resistance and the hand-winds still being a hair over 14mm thick, but Breitlings are also ugly and have mediocre external finishing.

>>15989959
It's my understanding that the vertical clutch is more responsible for the pusher feel than column wheel vs. cam actuation. My Lemania 5100 powered vintage Speedmaster has very smooth pusher action and no chrono second hand jump on engagement from its vertical clutch even though it is cam actuated.

[Anonymous No.15990226]

>>15989195
i didn't think many people knew about this collection too. If I could, I'd buy the whole set in stainless steel.

[Anonymous No.15990248]

>>15990212
A cam actuated chrono may be more difficult to start or feel as if it "thunks" into motion because the cam has a more forceful motion than a column wheel. Some prefer the "sharpness" of a cam actuated chrono. The vertical clutch generally is what is responsible for the lack of jump.

All this is kind of moot because as you have experienced first hand, there are well made and regulated cam actuated chronos that feel just as good as column wheel chronos and there are also lateral clutch chronos that don't have a perceivable jump.

new to this
looking at seiko lord matics on ebay after reading the poor watch guide
>Watch out for the quickset mechanism on the 56xx's - is fatally flawed due to the ageing plastic gear prone to cracking
>Be extremely wary of frankensteins and refinished dials. Oh, and overpolished cases too!
How do I check for these? what am I looking for?

[Anonymous No.15990305]

>>15990302
You need to be willing to spend the time googling and researching the vintage model(s) you are interested in until you can independently evaluate their condition, originality, and pricing. If you don't do your homework, you are very likely to get ripped off by someone. The vintage watch world is full of scumbags who make a living by pleb-catching people.

I find it really odd that you have these extremely autistic criteria for a chronograph, but seemingly don’t care about the screw down pushers on a Daytona. I find the screw down crown tedious on my Datejust, I can’t imagine fiddling with it all the time on a chronograph. It’s just ridiculous.

Even the HH movements that GS does make are relative bargains.
They're finished to very much the same standard as Dufour or Voutilainen, but they cost a lot less.

That depends. Are you an adult and have you taken care of your other shit like savings and your house? Take care of that first if you haven't. Still young? Go for it, man. It would probably be better to invest it, but the same could be said about the money spent on a vacation with friends that will be a beautiful memory.

The larping comes with the brands who make it. Fundamentally its clothing that pushes boundaries through the means of new materials capable of stuff like breathing better, better water proofing, windproofing, staying light flexible and utilizing new clothing technologies/functionality.
