Thanks. I've been looking at the AE1200 for a few days since it seems like my best option, the brown-copper color looks nice. The issue is that casio has so many other nice watches. The A168 has a cool glowy light. But part of me wants to embrace the retro look and get the A100WE, DB-380, or the DBC-611. I like so many of them it's hard to choose.

Are there risks when buying something off chrono24? Besides scratches here and there that wouldn't show on the picture.
It seems pretty secure, they keep the money until you receive your watch and make sure the seller actually owns the item.

Anon is saying if you're fat, you don't know how to exercise, so you have to pay a personal trainer to teach you and pay to join a gym. You don't know how to follow a proper diet, so you have to pay a nutritionist to teach you. You're probably fat because of some psychological flaw, so you have to pay a therapist to help you with those issues.

After reading for 9000 hours my conclusions are this:

>Eat less fatass
>Lift. Honestly for beginners it doesn't even really fucking matter what lifts you do. 10 sets per muscle group per week to near failure. Give'em a good workout. You look at a billion experiments with noobs and guess what everyone improves body comp doing almost anything basic
>Do some cardio. Something brisk. HIIT could be good too, but holy fuck we're talking about a fatass so literally doing anything is fucking fine.
>Eat a decent ass diet that's not too much food. Cut junk. Avoid pretty much any restaurant meal or any processed food. You can get really granular, but again as a megafatass it's not hard. Eat lots of vegetables, eggs, fish and lean meat, nuts, then throw in some dairy, maybe a little fruit, all while staying under calorie targets. Don't eat much sugar or empty shit.

>>17590502
it's not that different in the end, in both cases it takes applied theory, and discipline over time, the elite athlete is just habituated to it so more "effort" is spent on the mental effort of sustaining exact wattage over time or whatever, whereas the fatass is still getting used to the idea of eating a vegetable so they naturally talk about different things when asked what's the biggest challenge

My girlfriend is looking to buy a watch because she wants to reward herself for finding a really good guy like me.

Her budget would be around 1100 dollars and she prefers silver full steel bracelet and preferably smaller size. I have looked around some of the brands I know such as seiko, longines, hanmirduon, etc but haven't found luck.

The motorcycle thing is really only applicable to ones with a lot of vibration in the handlebars like American V-Twins or single-cylinder bikes at high revs. And it doesn't really "damage" them, per se, but it can make it run fast or slow while you are riding by advancing or retarding the rate at which the balance actuates and it can cause screws to come loose inside the movement.

Ya know man thanks for your post, it is relatable to me. I realized this only after going knee deep into buying these watches. I bought a lot of them because I never had any money as a kid and thought it would make me complete and bought the watches I did because it was fun at the time without much of a care for what other people thought (including the watch I posted). The watch is kinda pure to me in the sense that I bought just because I liked it and how happy it made me at the time.

Buying mechanical watches feels like a money sink and it’s full of snobbery and lot of the YouTubers and enthusiasts spend tons of money on watches for the sake of being a “watch enthusiast” even though they look pretty bad. I somewhat regret buying as many watches as I did and sold the ones I didn’t like but it was a life experience which taught me consooming doesn’t bring joy to life. I don’t really feel like buying more watches I just like looking at them these days.

This is how I feel about an old Orient diver I used to have. I just loved it but after getting into watches and "researching" I sold it and bought something more respectable with a swiss movement.
That was like 6 years ago and still regret giving that Orient away. I could easily buy it again but it wouldnt feel the same. It used to be pure joy.
>and thought it would make me complete
Yeah funnily enough I had that phase too. Had to have an adventurers watch to go on adventures. Had to have a dive watch for swimming etc.
I realized that I had to work on my inner demons and no consumable object can fill the void I feel inside.
Now I only own a cheap casio, an Accurist watch and a Glashütte my mom bought me.

Buying a watch because it will impress people with how expensive it is or how niche it is a soulless task. The people who care are insecure and obsessed with appearances.

I keep hearing this, but I've never actually seen any evidence to back it up. Just some vague stuff about static vs dynamic pressure that, while I'm sure it matters, would really only apply to actual diving at significant depths.
I'm not saying you should go swimming with any watch that claims some sort of water resistance, but I'm sure that any watch that does can at least stand to be submerged for a short time (i.e. falling into a creek, washing dishes, etc.).

>Just some vague stuff about static vs dynamic pressure that, while I'm sure it matters, would really only apply to actual diving at significant depths.
That stuff is bullshit and completely wrong
The real problem is with many watch brands that have 50m or lower wster resistance ratings are just lying. Most waches rated for 5m will fill with water if you drop them in a pint glass. Etc etc
Lorus is a seiko brand so in theory its a real 50m which is more than enough. But people are rightly distrustful that you can actually swin in any watch rated for less than 200m because so many brands just shamelessly lie and sell you garbage they know can't survive a downpour let alone being immersed in water

Without looking I think GS's least expensive offering is like $6500 and they go up to like $20k? I think they're priced more reasonably than Rolexes and they have actually unique and good looking dials. Most of them will look great in 50 years.

/wt/ hates them for no reason other than admittedly some silly design things like 3 different fonts and the name "Seiko" on a luxury brand like that.

The only reason I would never buy them is their spring drive. To me it's actually the best movement out there but I don't like that the only people in charge of repairing/maintaining it are people Seiko employ. A common ETA will always have parts and everyone will know how to service them and parts will be available as long as chinks exist.

Dude it's a Seiko what in it could cost $6.5k? It looks exactly like the one $350 SARX or whatever that got posted here all the time a few years ago, except it has a brown/golden GMT hand?

Is there something super magical and proprietary about the spring drive nobody can get parts other than directly from Seiko? Every wristwatch repair video I've seen for watches 100 years old and made today has had most of the parts available today other than stuff that generally doesn't break but can usually be repaired with a non-working donor parts watch.

Turns out very little inside of watches other than the super luxury $100k nonsense watches actually contain special parts.

It's a totally proprietary movement. It doesn't use a palette fork and escape wheel, it just runs and the speed is regulated by a quartz-timed brake for which electricity is generated by the watch movement itself.

[Anonymous No.17591112]

>>17591099
I never thought about it before but how much parts interchangeability is there in different movements generally? Is it theoretically possible to use some parts from a seiko to repair a swatch group watch, or would you need to at least keep it within swatch group? Or would you almost certainly need to find a junk watch with the same movement?

[Anonymous No.17591116]

It used to be dress watches but we can all agree divers are now the most pleb entry level watches for people with no idea what they are doing, right?
They see Ohmeeguh on 007 and Rolex submariners on celebrities and want exactly that

[Anonymous No.17591119]

>>17591112
Probably very little is interchangable and if it is it wasn't intentional. Things like gearsposts, bridges, stuff is likely built to a certain specification, length, whatever that just wouldn't work in most other positions. Its like asking if a gear inside of a Ford truck could work inside of a Chevrolet car. Maybe but probably not?

But again, stuff that breaks in the relatively few watch repair vids i've seen have been crystals, main springs, porcelain/enamel dials, indeces falling off, and bent metal parts likely from user error or dropping them. Some parts can be subbed out by third party manufacturers such as crystals, crowns, stems, gaskets, indices, hands, and maybe a few other things.

But okay, is their spring in the spring drive just not widely available either from Seiko or by a third party? Is that quartz brake super fragile and simply not possible to fix? Or are people sperging over things that aren't an issue? I'm not sure.

This hits close to home. I went through this exact journey, got deep in some niche watch market and ended up selling everything.
