Thoughts on fucked-up dials /wt/? I've just found a birth-year sub, no date, good price, with papers. The only hang-up is the dial. I know people do go in for these 'tropical' dials these days but I'm not sure. I'm not making a mistake buying this, am I? Pic related is the watch, it's actually only noticeable in certain lights.

Oh no, he's a retard. The limit for a screw in crown isn't the gasket, it's the case. A properly designed crown will partially compress the gasket at full tightness, and full tightness will be flush with the case. Doesn't matter how hard you try and keep screwing it down, it's a metal on metal connection so you can't get it any tighter.

Even if that were true it doesn't mean it's good, better, or more desirable. Quartz didn't nearly kill automatics because it is better or more desirable, it was because it was insanely cheap. Paying $10k+ for quartz defeats the entire purpose.

I'll explain it one more time, slowly, for you fucking brainlets.

Clockwork = EXPENSIVE
Quartz = CHEAP

Like many different variations of tools that perform similar tasks, one isn't really "better" than the other and there are pros and cons for each. Mechanical watches not needing batteries is honestly a huge plus for many reasons and applications. Yeah, it's cheap and not that hard to change a battery, but that's not really the point. You NEVER have to do it with a mechanical, you don't need to stock energy sources for your watch. But the biggest perk of quartz is that it's very cheap, sometimes so cheap it's disposable. For most people having something cheap that works well is more important than having something more expensive that does the same thing. So yeah, quartz is "better" for those people.

HOWEVER. When quartz starts getting up into the multiple thousands of dollars it's competing in price point for actual artisanal mechanical jewelry watches. At these higher price ranges the name recognition, history, and hand crafted nature of timepieces becomes very real, and the benefits of quartz(being cheap) are very much nonexistent because affordable practical timekeeping isn't even the point anymore in most cases. You're going for style and smooth sweeping hands and history and conjured up images of old craftsmen wearing magnification goggles installing gears and regulating movements. Those things cost money. Quartz doesn't. So what kind of blunt force trauma do you have to have inflicted on your skull to try to justify paying swiss watch prices for quartz movements? It makes absolutely no sense, you look like a fucking idiot that clearly has more money than reason. It's like you paid for a Lamborghini and got a Mazda Miyata with a cope Lamborghini body kit. Why on earth would you do that? You could have got the real thing, had a real collectors piece, and it would retain all or most of its value if you wanted to resell it later.

20 years ago, before the onslaught of microbrands and Chinese watches, Seiko watches actually offered good value for the money up until the early 2000s. The 4Sxx movements were well-built, accurate, and could easily compete with ETA movements. Unfortunately, they were discontinued 20 years ago, and the newer 4Rxx and 6Rxx movements are terrible and can't hold a candle to Seiko's old movements. Also, the SKX was a shitty Southeast Asian market exclusive watch meant for poor rice farmers and was never meant for the US market, but that did not stop a few retailers from selling them elsewhere through the internet. It was a message board meme watch that was shit, but that was fine since they costed nothing. Many of these watch forums have been dead for a while now, and Seikos haven't been good values for over a decade, at least.

Of course, none of this have stopped YouTubers, Insta influencers, and Redditors from parroting the dated meme that Seikos are a good value, despite the evidence showing the contrary. Social media was a mistake.

[Anonymous No.17600392]

Solar watches still have batteries and capacitors and stuff that go bad eventually. If anything, seiko spring drive is the future because it offers the best of both worlds. But we're probably not ready to have that conversation. Seiko is the only company doing anything like it, they don't make enough of them to really matter, and being Seiko even if they did get a lot of recognition and take off in popularity they'd probably either discontinue it or gimp everything appealing about it because Seiko doesn't take success lying down.

I'll tell you how to get one anon.
First, you need to keep in mind ADs have hundreds of people asking to buy a Sub. A good amount of them only want to flip it, and another good amount won't have the money when they'll get the call.
>go to your AD
>don't act like a fucking nigger
>ask to try a Submariner and some other models if you want
>say EXPLICITLY you want one to wear, and you have more than the amount on your bank account
I shit you not anon. My AD clearly told a lot of people chicken out when they get the call (mostly because they spent it on something else). I really insist on this, say something like "YOU CALL ME AND I COME WITH THE MONEY RIGHT AWAY".
>ask for the business card of the sale assistant when leaving
This point is important. You need to call the store a few days later and ask to talk to the sale assistant to remind them of you. Tell them again you really want that Sub.
You'll also have to visit the AD a few times (always ask to talk to the SA who took care of you) until the point they're tired of seeing your fucking face. ALWAYS ask to try some watches whenever you go there, ALWAYS say you want the Sub and ALWAYS tell them you have the money sleeping on your bank account. You'll get your Submariner in less than 3 months.

>, one isn't really "better" than the other and there are pros and cons for each.

Actually the Grand Seiko developed a perfect mechanism.
>Mechanical spring tension
>Electronic quartz time keeping beats any mechanical
>Electronically controlled STEPLESS escapement, the seconds arm glides continuously without making any steps at all beating the fanciest 7-step swiss escapements on smoothness
>Mechanical self winding - no batteries
>Higher efficiency than any mechanical escapement allows for two weeks power reserve


So yeah, the perfect watch actually exists. Precision of Quartz + smoothness of mechanics and the sense of prestige that comes from a unique and technically perfect Japanese movement.

All benefits, no downsides. The aesthetic fit and finish of Grand Seiko also matches or beat the Swiss at 1/10th their price.

Oh, and they also don't tick.

I'm working at an airport and have to pass the metal detector frame like all the fucking time. So I decided to give the Binladen watch a try and I'm fucking loving it. Being small and plastic it by far the most comfortable watch I ever worn, it's almost weightless and doesn't look like a stupid brick on my wrist. The retro design with blue trim and red accents is also cool as fuck I enjoy this watch so much.

The only downside is the shitty wristband made out ot some shit rubber, probably gonna buy a NATO or a leather band for them.

F91w is super nice for sure. It's the only watch I ever get compliments on. Comfy, stylish, cheap, fashionable, rugged.. hard to beat. When I first got it I wore it 24/7 for like 2 years, welding, cliff jumping, sleeping - everything. I replaced the strap on mine when it broke because it's a bit sentimental to me (a gift from my little brother)

How the fuck do you think the watch stores solar energy? You still have charge holding capacitors and batteries and other electrical components that go bad. You've probably had several cellular phones in your life that you either had to replace the battery or replace the phone because the rechargeable battery couldn't hold a charge anymore, right?

I swear by the islander mitchells. They have date, day date and no date versions, a few good colors, screw down crowns which even the Hamilton fanboys criticize Hamilton for not using, better AR on the crystal and the price is right for a watch you expect to do some work in and might actually get damaged.

A solar watch's battery or capacitor going bad after a decade or more is a big improvement on a lot of standard battery watches that need new cells every 2-5 years.

And you didn't address the massive boost in accuracy found in high-end quartz at all.

[Anonymous No.17601379]

>>17601359
>How the fuck do you think the watch stores solar energy?

They use a type of capacitor that can be expected to be good for many decades.
And it can be replaced.

I noticed you completely neglected the fact that the mechanical watches also require professional maintenance from periodic oiling and cleaning to Ballance wheel tuning and the eventual main spring replacement. Because the springs also go bad with time, you just can't keep the energy stored forever.

As for the regular quartz watches the maintence is limited to adjusting the time once a year and plopping a new battery in them every ten years.

With kinetic/solar watches the battery expected to last for 20 years or more, but I haven't owned one for that long so I can't tell. I'm pretty sure the first Seiko Kinetic ever made still run.

Given that a Seiko Kinetic has power reserve for two months even if the battery degrades after decades it's still going to beat the mechanical counterparts.

So when it comes to utility and maintenance the quartz watches are clear winners.

The topic was about paying the insanely high prices of luxury brand autos for quartz watches. Practical timekeeping and accuracy isn't relevant to the discussion. A <$100 Casio keeps time as well or better than a $3000 quartz JLC Reverso some old retarded bitch bought as a birthday gift to herself after her 7th husband divorced her. You don't get any more watch by going to that price. You do get a LOT more watch when you go from a $100 chinese automatic watch to an automatic in the $3k range and a lot more work goes into building and testing a watch like that. So it's really not the same thing.

A multi thousand dollar HAQ movement can get you +/- 10 seconds a year or even +/- 1 second a year with Citizen's 0100. That completely destroys standard quartz.

High end solar watches just go into sleep mode and jump back on as soon as they get light again.

>Forget your solar watch in a drawer for a year and see what happens.
The capacitor might be depleted, so you'd have to expose it to the light a bit and then it's working again.
What is your point?
