Why would you want it? The only thing a mechanical offers over a quartz is smaller second hand steps. But Spring drive beats that.
Spring drive like a hybrid car, not full electric. It doesn't use a rechargable battery which would eventually die like a solar Citizen, but rather a rotor and a spring to generate it's own electricity for the quartz regulator.

It's 80% mechanical minus the escapement, it's literally called SPRING drive. and while we appreciate the neat watchmaking artistry, how can you not appreciate the revolutionary breakthrough that enhances every aspect of the watch including the smoothness.

Oh, I can appreciate it. But I don't want it if it's only fitted into ugly watches that cost over a THOUSAND DOLLARS to service and cannot be serviced by anyone but Seiko. (Seiko, of course, recommends service every 3-4 years.)

I'm almost ready to buy the Breguet 5177 (see attached picture), but I'm concerned that it might look too large on my small ~16mm wrist.

Despite the face's 38.5mm diameter, I've read reviews stating the lug-to-lug distance is nearly 45mm.

Can anyone offer some advice on this?

[Anonymous No.17713781]

>>17713780
It will probably fit but it will look absolutely huge because the bezel is so thin and the dial is a bright, empty expanse of brilliant white.

Like what >>17713781 said. It will look like a dinner plate. You'll feel ridiculous.
I've got 16cm wrists as well, albeit pretty flat, and the 38mm Classique Ultra Slim looked gigantic. It's not the case size. It's the size of the dial that is the problem.

Perhaps Something like the 8787 (picrel) which is 36mm. It still has the enamel dial, but also has a little more going on so it will appear a little smaller. I, personally, like the classic pocket watch architecture of the movement but I recognize it's not everyone cup of tea.

I don't know too much about the Breguet catalogue, maybe there are other smaller watches out there they make, or try other ultra lux brands.

I've thought about it.

I can't get rid of the blue Omega. That was a high school graduation gift from my grandfather. (And it also makes a good travel beater.)

The Seamaster 300...I'm going to give it another year before deciding whether to move on. It's been incredibly accurate, it's got great lume, and it's very comfortable (take note, Omega, people like thin, tapered bracelets).

I don't know if I'd get a Cartier. None of their lineup really speaks to me right now.

I love it. It's such a great grab-and-go watch.
My wrist is 17cm, flat profile.
They don't make OP Dates anymore, so if you're picking between a used version of it and the DJ, then it's a tossup. But it doesn't compare to a new DJ, in terms of bracelet quality, movement technology, etc.

Take >>17713947 for example. The Piaget can stand in for the VC. Close enough for the sake of argument.
The Reverso is the watch that stands out. The Piaget is just another little gold dress watch. If it weren't for those 2000s-style Arabesque numerals it would be completely anonymous.

Ref. 15200.

The case size is actually 35mm from 3 to 9, not including crown. The size differences between the DJ and OP Date is the 20mm vs 19mm bracelet and the lug-to-lug. The DJ is a taller watch.

It just sort of happened. I didn't look to tick boxed off a checklist like "dress watch, field watch, dive watch, chronograph".

I tend to lean towards dressier watches because when I'm doing anything sporty I have a Garmin GPS tracker.

The blue Omega was my first watch. High school graduation gift.
The Reverso came next. I got that after graduated college and wanted a dressier watch.
After that came the Rolex or the Piaget, I can't remember. I spent a lot of time buying and flipping watches in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
I bought the Hometime in the late 2000s, sold it to a friend and then bought it back.

Then the Seamaster 300 was purchased last year because I fell in love with the looks but I'm slowly getting tired of it because I like dressier watches.

They already recommended you a g-shock, those are marketed on robustness, and are supposedly unkillable.

You can also get a regular digital casio they are thin, light, comfortable and can take a beating and if you break it you wouldn't cry about it.

Orient, Seiko and Citizen also have ranges of what's called "field watch" a military style comfortable and legible watches, not too fancy but rather utilitarian and the numbers glow in the dark.

They are really fun clocks to own. I have one in my office and one in my house. (The "Royale" in the right, is in the office.) They aren't really that expensive either, less than 5k.

If you decide to buy one, you'll adore it. A few tips:
1. Make sure the one you buy has an untouched hairspring. And I mean UNTOUCHED. (Picrel) Sadly, over the years people tend to mess around with the clocks and more often that not they damage the spring, either by not fixing the weight before transporting it or by playing with the weight itself.
2. Once you buy it, take it to a watchmaker that knows how to work with them and ask to have the gas capsule refilled.
3. Never buy one new. They're too expensive. Hunt for a used one in pristine condition. There are some around.
4. Find a place near a wall that experiences temperature changes during the day. That's all you'll need.
5. Enjoy it. They are awesome.

the artsy hobbies are the only ones that have a chance of impressing women. like playing an instrument or painting. women just treat watches as a minor fashion accessory, it's like trying to "impress" them with a pocket square

Hello guys and welcome to the show, in another independent video without sponsors. (Intro with music 007) In today's video I'm going to show you my EDC 2024 update. This briefcase and this wallet made by Carl Friedrik, so cool and so stylish. Link in the description. Oh my God, look at this, my new yellow gold chain, with a cross or a Marcus Aurelius medallion. High quality craftsmanship, made in Italy. Link in the description. Guys I'm a real fan of Persol sunglasses, but I'd like to recommend these Wooden Sunglasses handcrafted in china by child slaves. Link in the description. Gentlemen, the Santos is so classy, but my favorite watch is the Explorer, although now my favorite watch is this Squale, capolavoro, capolavoro. I have personally designed it's Squale. Link in the description. Next I show my creepy rings. Thanks for watching my videos. Subscribe to enjoy more free, independent and non-sponsored content. Ciao.

Seiko, Tissot and Citizen have a bunch of titanium quartz watches in your price range.

If you don't care about automatic go straight for a titanium quartz, it's thin, fucking weightless wears like there's nothing on your wrist and just feels magical to the touch.

There are titanium designs that would fit just as well. You asked for a pilot the citizen i linked is a pilot with large luminous numerals, these >>17714734 >>17714743 are sports watches, not exactly pilots. If you don't care about knowing time when you wake up at night to take a piss - sure get a sports. I personally am a very bad sleeper and when i do wake up i'd prefer to know time without blasting my eyes with light from my phone.

>it just says seiko so not much branding good for lying and saying it's grand seiko to flex on wagies as full time NEET

The only people who know what a Grand Seiko is are gonna call your BS immediatelly.

But in general my advise is to get something titanium, it's so fucking cool you just gotta hold it in your hand once to understand.

It's not a real world timer though, the ring with the cities is fixed. The Patek 2523 (launched in the 1950s and considered as the first Worldtimer) had a similar movement as the Omega, but also had a simple mechanism to rotate the bezel with the crown on the left, making it a functional Worldtimer.

This Omega is a perfect example of dishonest watchmaking. Also there's no valid justification for its grotesque dimensions (43mm wide and 15mm thick). What a joke of a brand...

That's not even it. Omega's coaxial movements are not appreciably thicker than Rolex's traditional movements.

I really like TGV, but it's kind of a Larper, which is a lot of fun. He wants to be at the same time a character from the sopranos, a British aristocrat, an elegant and sophisticated guy like Hannibla Lecter, a kind of lover of military aesthetics. you only have to see the TGV apartment to realize how chaotic he is.
