Squares don't come with GPS. The atomic time keeping is pretty good because you can be certain your watch always tells the correct time, and multiband 6 always comes with solar power which is also good, though I did manage to let my square completely die once in winter.

>>17664410
Only solar. I don't give a shit about the other stuff especially since the atomic signals are going to stop being broadcast soon enough. Newer models have bluetooth, which is a gimmick, but it means you can sync to atomic time via a smartphone app instead of leaving your watch on the windowsill at night in the hopes it can pick up a signal.
GPS? Why bother with that batter drainer seriously who's buying Seiko Astrons these days?

I don't care about heritage, history, ownership, I care about beauty and finishing quality of the watch and the full movement, and Lange has the best finishing in the entire industry with the very few exceptions of totally hand especialized independents like Dufour, Voutilainen or Rexhep Rexhepi, whose watches start at around 100k.
A beautiful entry level Lange 1 has a movement finishing not even Patek, Vacheron or AP can dream to compete.
And yes, finishing is what's most important to me. It's what separates simple higher end from ultra luxury.

>>17664410
Only feature worth paying a little bit of extra for is tough solar and Casio GW-M5610 has that plus the atomic sync (but atomic sync isn't available everywhere). But it's still 40-50bucks more expensive. I also don't like that the date has a different font/display. The cheaper DW-5600 is more consistent style wise and some say the solar panel makes the legibility worse. The only downside is that you need to replace the battery every 3-8 years which takes five minutes and costs less than a dollar

It was a real worry a few years ago when the national budget cuts called for a shutdown in the signals nationwide.
It's only a matter of time before some president signs it into effect and byebye multi-band6,
The way shit's playing out I could imagine that happening sooner rather than later.
I don't know how it is in other countries but I would imagine it's much the same debate going on about why they need to operate these radio broadcasts anymore. I think some in Japan have already gone dark.
A mistake to be sure, but try explaining this to bureaucratic bean counters.

im not a fan of langes typically german cold and clinical look so i never tok time to read about it. everything what i know about lange is what i heard while i was watching reviews or side comparisons with watches i actually was interested in. i was under impression that this here is a manufacturer that does everything in house and at higher standard than any other, for the lack of better word, mainstream watch brand (mainstream in this case meaning companies that can produce hundreds and thousands of watches and not just couple of guys commissioned to go above and beyond with extremely limited models). i imagined them as underdog who undeservingly doesnt get enough attention despite being objectively better in many points. now that i know they outsource most of their parts i just cant look at them the same. now of course they are going to claim
>yes, we are part of a massive group, but we are THE one who are left to do whatever we want, while all the others get told from the above how they have to do things
anyway, im not going to lose sleep over this. like i said i dont really like their "germanic" look so they were never an option for me even if was in the market. ill still enjoy watching macro shots of their movements. a good work can always be appreciated

The outsourcing thing is an funny business as far as watch brands go.
For example did you know Rolex doesn't make its own dials? Many brands don't btw. Small indies especially. It's a century long thorn in Rolex's side especially nowadays when they want to make as much stuff as possible themselves. The dials are made by a tiny, family owned specialty workshop that made itself its life's purpose to be the best dial maker in the world, so much so that in order to compete with their quality their current clients would have to spend far more than it was worth just to be able to go fully in house dial wise. And probably still be shittier in quality than that small firm. Every few years Rolex tries to buy them and every time they refuse to sell. Maybe matters have changed and they finally sold? Last I knew they hadn't and continue to make dials to order to their clients' exacting specifications.

VC was a glorified parts assembler and finisher for literally two hundred years. Patek, AP, and VC have extensively used JLC movements. Patek has extensively used Lemania based ebauches. Outsourcing stuff really means nothing in the watch world. Jerking off over whether or not they made the case or the hands is pointless compared to the quality of the final product.

Or you can pay the Patek tax where you get an independent with history and mostly fully vertically integrated manufacturing but literally a worse product for more money.

Then why does a pp sell for more than the equivalent lange or vacheron? Their finishing has been proven time and time again to not necessarily be the best in class and is more often than not lacking in comparison, especially since the dropped of the geneva seal in favor of their own qc seal.
The average patek buyer, if there is such a thing, doesn't give a flying fuck about the finishing they'll only see through a loop they didn't bring along. They buy it because of the name. This has allowed pp to churn out all those substandard steel Nautilus bracelets and dials, because the main clientele doesn't give a shit.
Watcbfags that take a loop to a boutique are in the severe minority. Ergo those that actually care about muh finishing are also in the minority. Most people just want an expensive name to show off.

[Anonymous No.17664489]

>>17664395
For $500 it's overpriced since you don't get sapphire but you do get a great module, full metal construction, and a DLC back. If you can get it for under $400 I think it's a good deal as long as the weight doesn't bother you. You can get it for about $350 on ebay from japan. I went with the titanium version because I wanted sapphire, DLC, and the lighter weight. It's also overpriced but it was worth it for me because it's nearly perfect.

>>17664407
It surprised me as well. Some G-Shock faces are sublime.

>>17664410
Not at all. When I started I wanted all my models to be solar/atomic but I realized none of that makes a difference to me. The features that actually matter to me are things like current time in all modes and having a screwdown caseback. I never need second accuracy in my wrist watches and the only time I have ever had to change a battery was on watches over 15 years old and it was trivial. Putting a watch by a window at night to catch a signal and giving them sunbaths is insignificant to me but to some people it's too much hassle.

They don't "cut" the pucks of gold (or platinum) themselves, but they receive them raw and then polish and properly finish.

That's why I said "pretty much." You cherry picked the one example I can think of in the high end watch sector where an increase in price does not necessarily correlate to an increase in quality. Even then, it's utterly irrelevant because modern Patek watches at the very least maintain their value compared to the average Lange or Vacheron or virtually any other brand semi-mass production brand in the sector which all become a bloodbath when it comes time to sell.

The resin watches never feel right to me. I know some people like the light weight but I find the screwdown back more comfortable and satisfying.

This is my dream watch but it's out of my reach just because it's vintage.

It's not some Patek with an amazing finishing and movement or some kind of marvel of watchmaking with 100 complications. Just a normal chronograph. There is no reason it couldn't be remade today for a reasonable price like ~$2000. And yet there is nothing quite like it.

Some of them, mainly kommandirskies. Most of the newer nicer models have steel bezels, some even with aluminum inserts. They're also more accurate than seikos out of the box.

>Already own a Oris diver, Omega 2254 and some Seiko divers (SKX and Turtle).
Need some thoughts anons. I was thinking between:

A) Omega SMP 300 (Bond), the early models (just to complete) the pair with the 2254.

B) Tudor Black Bay 36 (not the new ones).

C) A couple of entry level field watches (Hamilton Khaki mechanical, Khaki pilot pioneer, Zeno explorer, etc)

Honestly, I do really like all those watches.

D) Maybe go for the Speedy (I'm bit of a pussy here and I do prefer the reduced version over the OG)

[Anonymous No.17664775]

>>17664773
Don't cope buy the Tudor
Not a fan of Option C

A's okay if you really want to complete the pair, but you have a bunch of divers already

But I'd go for the Sneed, the Sneed is too sexy, why do you prefer the reduced? Do you have a small wirst? The 2021 speedy wears really well as long as you have a 6 incher

The reduced is cheap too on second hand markets if you really want that

The whole watch is bulky to begin with, so I think they fit. Honestly, I don't see the point of screw-down crowns. Diver watches aren't for fucking diving, they haven't been for diving for 30+ years. I honestly prefer a non-screw down crown. Sure, it's less secure (except crown guards negate this). Sure, it might not last past 100m if I drop it in the ocean. But I can change the fucking date faster. I can set the watch faster. I don't have to unscrew it first. And before you say "lol just leave it unscrewed", that's ugly as shit.

No it's quite literally retarded because it deprives a very specific design of its actual function.

I give you that for a GMT watch it makes sense to not have a screw-down crown, but given that even their diving model has the same shortcoming it suggest they simply didn't give a shit about design and wanted to save as much money as they could by making as many watches with the same legacy parts as possible. Why? Because S_O_Y_K_O hasn't made a decent watch in almost a decade.

[Anonymous No.17665025]

>>17665017
The function of a crown is to set the fucking watch. A screw-down crown improves water resistance slightly while being more cumbersome.

Seiko correctly assumed that most people don't really care if the watch can do 300m, because 99% of these watches will never see anything deeper than a pool. You can totally argue that other parts of the watch are cost saving (shitty bracelets and endlinks, shit crystal, etc), but using a regular crown feels like more of a design decision to me.

No, the function of a *big* and *chunky* crown is to grant the ability to screw it down.

>feels like more of a design decision to me.
Like I said they're doing it on their """"dive"""" watches too which coincidentally come with the exact same case (solely for design reasons of course).
But I guess then you'll argue that nobody is actually diving with a dive watch anyway so what's the point. I mean nobody is actually using the GMT function either, might as well make it a 2nd minute hand, just for design reasons.

A bigger crown is easier to adjust. And like I said, it fits better on a big chunky case with a rotating bezel.

>I mean nobody is actually using the GMT function either,
I hate GMT dogshit, but I assume most people buying them expect to use the GMT feature once or twice when they go on holiday or something. This is very different to a screw-down crown, which is a direct DOWNGRADE for most people, because most people don't care about 100m+ water resistance.

I think the actual good spot for WR is 200m, since that means you can do any "extreme" sport with water involved no problem, like riding a jetski or surfing (as long as the movement can endure it too of course), which is not the case for 50 and 100m WR.

Even people who get that '50M' doesn't mean you can dive 50 metres deep, they usually still don't understand that it's about probability of failure.

A 5ATM watch might still fail during swimming, a 10ATM watch might still fail while snorkelling.
But a 10ATM watch is much less likely to fail during swimming than it is during snorkelling.

So if you're actually someone who goes snorkeling a lot, you are still better off buying a 20ATM watch than a 10ATM one.

Got memed and bought a Bark and Jack NATO. Don't do it, the hole has broken after 2 wears.
They sent a replacement and it happened again after 3 wears. When I asked for a refund he asked me to send a picture of me wearing it (!) implying I'm wearing it wrong.
Got a refund and two shitty-looking but usable straps.

Got my second CASIO, LOVE it, still doesn't have enough metal in it to trigger a metal detector at my work, but sits on my wrist better than f91 did. The f91 was so small it would either rotate around my wrist or i'd have to tighten it uncomfortably. The display is more legible too and the backlight is great, really bright. The world time feature is useful to time my PIXIV posts and the coundown timer helps cooking.

Overall it's great.

There's a lot of people who dislike Mortadello. I'm not sure why. Sure, he's a weird guy, but his posts are generally meaningless fluff. It's not like he's showing up with crazy opinions. He just wants some friends. He's admitted as much.

That's like 95% of his posts.

I can see it. People's motivations are pretty simple.
A lot of it is legit jealousy. He's got some pretty nice pieces that a lot of people here would kill for. They rightly wonder why on earth a guy with a Journe would be here. They can only assume that he's here to flex. They either willfully ignore or are unaware that Mort has admitted that he doesn't have a lot of friends. Without this place, he doesn't have any other place to talk about watches and other luxuries.
Ultimately, he's just really lonely.

Then, a bunch of other guys are just trolls who don't care one way or another but like to stir up shit and get the haters and the simps fighting.

New to watches.
Not a collector or enthusiast level, but appreciate the beauty of mechanical watches as an art form.

Wanting a daily watch that’s simple so no chronographs and extra dials, just simple.

Something that fits for any and all occasions from going to store for groceries to night out with boys.

Let’s say if I were to buy one watch to wear for the rest of my life, what would it be?
