Pushers breaking seems to be more common than they should, already had two customers asking what to do with their broken moonswatches, told them to try Swatch or Omega service centers, but since they're limited watches, they're likely fucked.

The Moonswatch is total fucking garbage, but looking at a few real ones I really like the Speedmaster's size and proportions, so I'll just grind till I can afford a real one.

Seiko, Citizen, Omega, Heuer, all the brands that survived have very little lemons from that period. Also stuff that has ETA, Venus and Valjoux movements. AS movements are good too, but they were put in a lot of cheap basic shitters.

Avoid the very first auto-chronos though. They all have their own issues. Reliable auto-chronos started with the Valjoux 7750 (pic).

Same. I've always wanted to try and restore a mechanical too. Get a vintage non-runner from ebay, disassemble it, clean it, lube it, and reassemble it. But then you look at all the tools you might need: cannon pinion remover, robur press, mainspring winders, maybe a degausser. Too bad there aren't places where you can just go in and pay to use some watch tools.

Those are both things I really liked about it. There was only one around in a store in my area so I bought it even thought the dial/chapter ring alignment wasn't perfect. I knew I was going to end up opening the thing to regulate it at some point anyway, so I just fixed the alignment on mine while I had it open. I probably should get it pressure tested, but I have enough experience with greasing and screwing in casebacks properly that I'm not really worried about it.

Seiko really needs to get on their alignment issues though, I shouldn't have to fix crap like that on a brand new watch. I wouldn't have bought it at all if I didn't know i could fix it myself.

[Anonymous No.17432844]

>>17432842
Because they are one of the ultimate examples of a watchmaker that was great in the pre-quartz era that--as a result of the quartz crisis--ended up getting turned into the ultimate overpriced mall watch shitter brand of the 1990s (i.e. the modern nadir of watchmaking).

TAG went all in on pandering to normies who know nothing about watches using marketing to get them into the store so they could flog them wildly overpriced shitters with generic cheap movements in them. Their modern designs are all designed to appeal to normie aesthetic tastes in watches, also.

This makes them a brand with essentially zero modern horological value outside of their re-issues of vintage designs from before Heuer was ruined.

Modern Seiko 5s that use the 4R family of movements are fine and should provide comparable accuracy and durability to any other mechanical you can get in the price range.

Older Seiko 5 models use the 7S movement, those I'd avoid as the 7S struggled more with accuracy, shock resistance, and power reserve.

I dunno, I've been spending a lot recently on guns, big chunks toward the house (over $10k), holiday spending, and other bullshit. Just kinda have that itch for a new knife, watch, and flashlight kinda kick. Ideally I'd like around $100 but I know that doesn't really get you much especially when it should look good to non-watch people. So I guess under $250 realistically and even then I'm going to hesitate to buy since the difference between $150 and $250 watches is practically minimal.

Amazon is nearly unusable to browse for shit anymore (not just watches) as it starts recommending clearly chinese knockoffs with hundreds of fake reviews. This came up on page 1 when I was searching for "Seiko KS". Looks like amazon is droping the high resolution images but they actually photographed at least 3 different watches, and still have typo errors on the face. Its hard to see but in another closeup of this watch it says "SUPERLAFIVE CHRCEOMETET officlalcy certified". (thats not my typo, its whats on the watch face) What the fuck is this algorithm?

Don't look for Seiko KS models. Seiko's King Seiko line mostly existed in the 1960s and 1970s and you aren't in the market for a vintage watch. Seiko makes 1 re-issue of the original King Seiko design today, but it's catastrophically overpriced and frankly an insult to the original King Seiko line, so ignore it.

Oh, do you specifically want a mechanical? If you don't mind quartz, will it bother you if the second hand doesn't hit the minute markers exactly? That would give you way more options in the $150 to $250 range. If not, at least I can narrow down your options.

>you aren't in the market for a vintage watch.
I kinda am since I generally like the look of many of them, the hard part is finding one that is decent, runs well, and isn't $500 because "vintage".

It doesn't have to be mechanical, but considering the prices I'm looking at I generally look for it. I saw a couple Citizen watches that I kinda liked but for how inexpensive quartz movements are, I don't want to be paying extra just because of the brand.
>will it bother you if the second hand doesn't hit the minute markers exactly?
yes, explicitly yes. I have a timex that the second hand doesn't stop on the second markers exactly and it makes me never want to replace the battery once it dies.

The problem with vintage watches is that if you aren't willing to do a fair bit of research into the model(s) you are interested in, to the point of being able to trust yourself to judge condition, originality, and value, you're almost certain to get ripped off. Plus you need to be able to find a reliable independent watchmaker to service them and that costs money.

For someone just getting into mechanical watches I would strongly recommend avoiding vintage watches.

Shit, wait, I just thought of the perfect watch for you. Based on what you are looking for, you need an Escapement Time VH31 watch It's a Chinese Ali-Express watch but it's actually an amazing value for the price, looks like a vintage King Seiko, uses a quartz movement that ticks 4 times a second so you don't have to worry about it hitting the markers exactly, and is available in both 35mm (historically correct size) or 40mm (oversized modern look). It's under $100 US.

It's a Chinese copy of an old Swiss handwound chronograph movement called the Venus 175. he design is solid, but with Chinese mechanical movements the question is always QC. Assuming someone in the manufacturing chain is making sure the movements aren't duds, it should be fine.

Just be aware that it won't have quite the shock resistance or typical accuracy of modern, more robust, mechanical chronograph movements.

The movement it's a copy of was designed in the 1940s when robustness and ease of manufacturing were not as high priorities, so mechanical chronograph movements from that era were often quite pretty.

One of it's design contemporaries was the legendary Lemania 2310, which went on to be used as the Omega Calibre 321, and then also formed the basis for the Patek 27-70 and Vacheron Constantin 1141, not to mention the gorgeous modern Omega 321 remake. That era was basically the peak of classical manually wound low beat chronograph design.

I also would love to see someone do a presentation contrasting it with the co-axial escapement, since I think its fascinating how the two escapements have somewhat parallel approaches but are intended to achieve radically different goals.

Not what I asked, but titanium is usually a neutral material too. But brass, nickel, and zinc are cheap and easy to machine or stamp into place even. Stainless is usually put on the back of the watch because thats what comes in contact with your sweaty corrosive skin.

Try stainless or titanium, thats pretty much it unless you get a gold plated back which isn't likely to happen. Your alternative is getting those giant leather bracer type bands so its just leather in contact with your skin.

I realize that the permanent solution is to lose weight, but what do you do when even a G-Shock's last notch is a little too tight? Are there extra long bands available?

FUCK FUCK FUCK whats the notch at the bottom indicate? Whats halfway between 15 and 45? I need to time something for 26 minutes but the markers on the bezel don't go past 20 minutes and the pin striping lining up with some of the minute markers is giving me a seizure. why is the bezel surface area so much bigger than the face of the fucking watch?

Why would anyone need to know their watch is rated for 200 meters or 20 atmospheres EVERY TIME THEY LOOK AT THE FUCKING WATCH? Stop printing that shit on the front. 24 jewels too, nobodys ever looked at another mans watch asking how many jewels were inside of it. Put that on the case back, it doesn't need to ruin the face.

I hate it, don't pay more than $60 for it.

/fit/ here and unfortunately that is not a thing, like the other guy said the wrist muscles are all down the forearm and doing any kind of wrist exercises is for forearm gainz.
t. small wrists with relatively giant forearms

the only option for actual bigger wrists is to become really fucking obese

Just count how many notches your arrow went past a 5 minute marker and then you can tell once it's passed 20 on the bezel

I'm trying to get some watches dressier than a Casio Royale, which is currently my only one. I was thinking of a G-shock for a beater, but I want something stainless steel and dressier.

>budget
$5-700

>type
Dive or pilot. The Bulova moonwatch really calls to me, even if it's probably too big for me.

>bracelet
metal, potentially the option to put it on shark mesh

kinda subjective but IMO the finishing on a diver is what makes or breaks its ability to be worn as a "dressy" (typing that makes my autism flare) watch

you really want something with a ceramic bezel and AR coating and "nice" finishing overall, and i don't think you're going to find that at that price point, even with quartz, but I could be wrong

When I say dressy, sorry to bother the tism, I mean in the sense of not a true dress watch - but stainless steel and appropriate for a wider variety of occasions than a G-shock or some novelty watch.

No because when I first started I like gaudy crap skeleton watches, dinner plates, or fashion brand watches. I later moved on to dedicated watch brand shitters like citizen and seiko but would still choose crappy designs.

Tissot visodate is a beautiful watch. It’s 650 but is not a dive or pilot watch. Sapphire in front and back, day/date complication, versatile and can be dressed up or down, and the powermatic 80 movement is decent. I wear it as my daily and anyone who sees it stops and makes a point to ask about it.
