50h is the bare minimum for any watch, especially for a dressy watch you won't wear on the week-end.

What if I buy a Reverso that isn't well regulated and lose 30s a day? JLC will tell me to fuck off. This is why COSC exists. It's a guarantee for the customer.
>> Real hairspring vs printed silicon
What's the benefit of having a "real hairspring"? If silicon hairspring does the same job and protects the watch from magnetic fields, give me that.

Watches to women on men are a sign of money and maybe family, if you tell them a story about how it was your dads. But 98% of women don't know shit about watches besides ROLEXROLEXROLEX ("I can't identify a Rolex or really have seen any/many, but I know they are nice"), AppleWatch and "what's that? Oh a Cartier?

Cope, the definition of "sports watch" has come a long way from meaning "a dress watch you can protect by reversing the case to hide the crystal".

That is a dress watch and one women do not, as it turns out, find masculine in a 1960s Don Draper kind of way. As I long suspected, Reversos and Tanks are copes for wristlets who cannot handle the Bauhaus dinner plate style.

Its just wasted space and asesthetically poor. Yes some machined or jeweled metal can look pretty. Rolex does a very classic design on some of their bezels, but when its nearly the same aurea (in square millimeters) as the watch dial itself, its the equivalent of looking for a lengthier word to make your essay longer. Its low effort and too obviously a copout.

That all being said, if they made the dial face really big and no bezel it may not look right either. But fuck >40mm watches, theres no need for that.

A plain-ish white watch is versatile and goes well with a variety of clothes. A dive watch or some ugly chronograph, on the other hand, doesn't.

There are way too many men today who have the fashion sense of a five year old. Imagine chubby engineering majors (or aging millennials) wearing cargo shorts, graphic t-shirts, and dive watches that hang over their wrists. There are even guys who don't even know how to wash themselves. I knew a guy who gave his gf a skin infection on her face after kissing her because he didn't wash his beard.

It also doesn't help that the type of people who wears a Rolex (assuming it isn't a fake) or some other status symbol watch are often douchebags. Gold-diggers don't care, but for plenty of women, that's a red flag.

Lol what a retard, if you had a real grasp on how the world works you'd know that women don't care almost at all about watches.

True but the seiko may have misaligned parts but is less likely to catastrophically fail ie stop working like a Chinese homage will. Fine for a purchase but after a year or two might stop working which isn't super great for a gift imo

Just got my Venturer GMT. This is my first watch ever. Looks even better than I expected and sits nice on my tiny wrists.

Couple scary moments though. Date seems to sit slightly towards the right of the window (maybe coz it is 4pm?) and metal shavings fell out while removing links. One link is stiff and doesn’t like to articulate, and one screw came corroded and was hard to remove.

I don’t know, maybe I’m overreacting. Or maybe I messed something up adjusting the bracelets myself. I’m just going to be happy about my new watch and play around with it for now.

It just reminds me of the fashion watch guide in the OP. Perfect.

I'm on the same boat. I kind of want it but at the round case catches my eye and puts me off 50/50.

I really want to buy this. Looks absolutely mint.

does anyone have the white orient bambino? is the white a silvered white or plain on it, and how does it compare with the cream if known? nowhere sells orient locally here.

I've been complimented by women on this cheapo.

Do you remember what really got you into watches? I remember I started reading a column called Watch Snob on Askmen over a decade ago. Was a really great primer to learn about watches.

Thinking of getting either an orange or yellow band for this casioak

sup /wt/,

I'm looking for an ultra versatile watch that is:
-less than 1000$ (far less preferably, im poorfag)
-automatic
-at least 100m WR
-38-40mm
-works in most environment (dress/office/casual)

I like Hamilton murph or seiko baby alpinist for exemple

absolutely horrid date display
they have a same design model without those ugly subdials

[Anonymous No.17468730]

>>17468729
jesus...it took me forever to realize that the subdial is supposed to be a date display. I wondered why theres a central seconds hand and a seperate one below.

[Anonymous No.17468731]

>>17468707
if you like those, go for it
although I don't particularly agree that the alpinist is that versatile, unless you're looking at bezelless versions

[Anonymous No.17468736]

>>17468731
Yeah i was talking about the baby alpinist
Juste wondering if there are other options

Made and used by deep sea divers. British and out of stock but you have time.

>>17468736
ah yeah, missed the baby part
it seems you like field watch aesthethic so try looking at other field watch options from other brands, there's tons of them, don't even know what to recommend
if you'd drop that 100m water resistance that hardly makes sense as a hard requirement, you'd probably find three times more options
