It costs only 500$ or 300$ if you go for the one with Dolce branding. I think it's expensive because of usual watch brand markup and maybe the high accuracy quartz movement originally developed for Grabd Seiko.

Its quartz though. HAQ sounds like a lot of bullshit to me. No single component anywhere in that movement is costly nor will anyone care about its accuracy.

I forgot its a sapphire crystal, this watch satisfies my autism because the relavent nerd info is etched on the caseback; 3ATM water resistance, stainless stee, sapphire crystal, part number is 5569. I did a quick search and didn't find a similar one without the date window but I can see why you would or wouldn't want one, just personal preference.

Sapphire crystal isnt actually that expensive. You can get a sapphire watch crystal on ebay for like 10gbp. So think how cheap it is for watch manufacturers to get em. Its a synthetic crystal that is mass produced for like 1gbp a pop instead of 1 penny a pop like glass crystal. I dunno if domed crystal is more expensive, i imagine it is but i cant imagine its that much more.

There’s plenty of microbrands selling watches with plenty of good features. They just tend to fail in one area or another be it limited production, poor movements, etc. Also why would anyone get a micro brand over a Seiko which is well known and has a proper warranty/customer support?

[Anonymous No.17522062]

>>17522051
fuck if i know. To be fair you can get watches with sapphire crystals for like 130gbp here in uk. Budget watch companies (rightly) dont see it as something that is a high priority when it comes to expensive materials. As hard as sapphire is, it still scratches. It still cracks with wear and tear. It isnt magical. It isnt even that much better than standard glass really.

No, the number of “le jour” collectors, if any, are less than the number of beat up le jour shitters. There are hundreds of defunct shorter brands that got annihilated by the quartz crisis and vintage watches only hold value when they have a significant brand name attached or actual horological significance(think 1 of 1 watch hand crafted watch for king of France type of deal).

Perhaps you aren't aware, but Middle Easterners of all strips fucking love haggling. It's a game to them.

The first time I went to my Persian rug dealer he threw out a price on this vintage silk piece and when my eyes bugged at what a rug could possibly cost he immediately add "...but I can knock 20% off that".

Yeah and its fucking annoying. All middle easterners are just jews trying to jew people as hard as possible. I state a price I'm willing to pay, they then try to haggle, I tell them I'm leaving, they continue to haggle, refuse my price but are so desperate to get the sale but not at my price.

I had a middle eastern girlfriend once, just wanted to argue over prices on fucking everything as if it was some bazaar like no bitch corporate sets those prices stop asking for discounts it just makes you look cheap. She would brag about getting a good deal on leasing a new car like no you bitch they're still fucking you with financing and other charges you cannot defeat and are generally shit with money.

Same with fucking indians, they're extra cheap and its just a game to try and get the lowest price which I somewhat understand but once a price is agreed upon, stop trying to change the deal or renege on the deal.

no

I also have a "Mountain glacier" on a bracelet. For me, SARB Alpinists were always very busy with details, so cyclops just adds to complexity, a plus in my book. And it was present on red alpinist. Date window could've been framed, though.

There's social expectations, and then there's the degree to which members of a society live up to those expectations

The indians reneging on the price are just plebs who understand that haggling is the expectation, but they don't understand the niceties of the haggle system

It's like people who understand that tipping is "optional" but they don't understand that it's not nearly as optional as they take it to be

[Anonymous No.17522755]

Correction: Diashock and 20 bar are written with one font, but with different size on SARB, still looks weird.

Also keep in mind, both on older SARBs and on current Prospexes the compass bezel is quite free-moving because of the Seiko tolerances, and it's unlikely that you'll be able to align North and South with 12 and 6 most of the time.

Regardless of what I said, the Alpinist is the most expensive watch I own, and I like it a lot.

If you don't like old chronos or JLCs, neither of those anons takes it personally. Mortadello, on the other hand, is way too easy to bait.

For the second time this week we are seeing competing threads, which is not only diminishing the value of /wt/ but dragging anon into some petty squabble between two OP's, at least one of which is attempting to raise a personal army and so prove himself the superior gatekeeper.
It's this type of inability to self-police that escalates into board wars, where other users of a board start to notice the multiple postings and becoming irritated, engage in mass-reporting campaigns.
I strongly suggest you two refrain from creating another /wt/ for a month and sort yourselves out, as there are plenty of other users who can pick up the slack when a general hits the bump limit.

I also kinda want to lock it up in my safe and just get another watch that looks similar so it doesn’t get stolen id be crushed its got a lot of sentimental value as its one of the very few things of his I have any ideas on watches akin to the Tag 980.029? Is it even worth restoring this watch is it decent?

No, throw the Gucci away, unless you really like it.

You should wear it, maybe swap out the crystal and have the battery changed. Nobody’s going to steal it.

Is there anywhere I can see 3 o clock watches in 4 o clock cases? Not realigned, same movement, same dial, just turned 30 degrees?

I'm kind of tempted to make one.

It isn't expensive enough for someone to steal it unless you're passing out in crack houses. Just wear it, don't bother getting it refinished, it's PVD coated so you don't want to fuck around with getting the case stripped and recoated and shit. Wear it the way your old man did.

It looks cute

[Anonymous No.17524316]

how do you people deal with small imperfections? There is a small strand of metal that protrudes from the date window frame, you can barely see it unless you look closely but the light will glint on it. Is it worth the hassle to send it back/warranty or do I just accept it. It was not a very expensive watch and does not impact the function at all.

[Anonymous No.17524321]

>>17524316
If it’s just a cheap Seiko or below, just accept it. If you just got it and can return it to the seller maybe do that. I wouldn’t bother trying to get it fixed under warranty.

Citizen (on sale, and their last one on that particular shop). I plan on getting another watch later on the path when I get rich so I guess I can live with this until then.

Watches and watchmaking uniquely tickle my autism and have had my attention more than anything since I was a kid but I'm not feeling it anymore.

in all sincerity, you need to submit to the rightful lordship of your Creator and God: Jesus Christ

you were made in His image, being bequeathed with an immortal soul designed for the highest purpose of reflecting His glorious grace, and in nothing else will you find fulfilment
you need to surrender your life to His call on it, today: turning from your rebellious hatred and acknowledging Christ as King over, trusting Him to save you from the righteous wrath He has stored up against sinners

I've been reading le meme stoic philosophy, especially Seneca has some great thoughts. Do I still feel depressed and suicidal? Yes, occasionally. Does the literature help? Yes, it does. There is plenty of things I've yet to see so I might as well.

didn't you see the second clause of that sentence about being made in the image of God, having been instilled with an immortal spirit ?
that soul is the reflection of God, not the mortal flesh

srsly dude, have you been going round thinking being 'made in the image of God' referred to arms and legs and stuff - what are you, mormon?

The Father doesn't have an image. Adam was a type of Christ. We were made in Christ's image.

>The Father doesn't have an image.

that's an interesting take, but the issue you have there is thinking it requires a physical form for the character, or nature of a being to be reflected
when Christ is titled 'the image of the invisible God'* it speaks more to him having the attributes of the Divine Father, such as an Eternal Divinity from before the beginning, and being One in purpose with Him, than it does his looking like a reflection of any physical characteristics of the Father

thus when man is said to be made 'In Our image' by God in creation, it refers to that spirit Christ the Creator-God breathed into the clay

This threads full of larping dipshits, don't listen to them. Thats a very valuable PVD model - one of the rarer variations. Worth around $600-$800 in good condition. The lumed dial version is in a shitty 80's bond movie for 5 seconds.

You can get drop in sapphire crystal replacements on ebay. Leave the rest original - or just do the gaskets so you don't kill the movement with humidity.

Reasons why no don’t eat a bullet: sex, watches, guns, film, video games, luxury stuff and cars, playing, writing, and listening to music, lots of autistic research into politics/space stuff/other cultures particularly warrior cultures, etc. that’s what does it for me. The sex I like is kinky and it tickles my autism a lot
