Gotta go with the times and keep the price of the discontinued ones up. Seiko is desperately trying to elevate their brand on the success of GS, but they are not improving their product accordingly. I've said it before and i'll say it again, all they have to do is stop using hardlex, up their bracelet game and get the accuracy on ALL their movements sorted. They would be killing it if they did only those three things.

[Anonymous No.17994420]

>>17994415
I agree. Right now they get fucked by the Powermatic 80 which drops from the conveyer and produces +2 seconds a day. Also GS is overshadowed in most western countries by the sheer amount of quasi luxury brands that offer around the same quality while actually having a non mall shitter name.

[Anonymous No.17994441]

>>17994415
Their bracelets and their hangups with sapphire are the most baffling things about the brand. You look around the industry and see all the companies with decent bracelets are for the most part doing the same things - they make two or maybe three styles of bracelet that they use across all of their models so that they can just produce a couple high quality things that are interchangeable across a bunch of different lines of watches. What does seiko do? Produce a shitload of different watches with wildly different lug dimensions so every individual watch has to have its own shitty cheap bracelet. Simply committing to 2 or 3 decent varieties of bracelet they put on every watch would both produce better watches and and almost surely save them millions of dollars. It's stupid to tool up to make a hundred different shitty bracelets when you could just tool for a handful of good ones.

Sapphire is just baffling. Just spend the extra couple dollars per unit on sapphire.

[Anonymous No.17994446]

>>17994415
I disagree.

Seiko has made a number of mistakes.
They cranked up the price of Grand Seiko too quickly. GS was better when it was "95% of Swiss quality at 60% of the price", but when they are priced equally to the Rolexes and Omegas, they fall short.

If Seiko all of a sudden started making regular Seikos good (sapphire crystals, bezels that lined up, movements accurate to within 10 seconds per day, non-crap bracelets.) the effect would actually work to undercut Grand Seiko.
Why, then, would you buy a Grand Seiko when you could get a regular Seiko which is 90% as good? So GS would have to raise its prices even further to differentiate itself from Seiko, but then they'd be even more expensive than the Swiss brands.

Not really. The old bracelet was really well-made for the time. I like the look of the old one better with the wider centerlinks.
The old one had pins and collars instead of screws and pins for resizing, which is a pain in the ass, but you only have to resize a bracelet once.
The old clasp is more comfortable because it's shorter and thinner, but the microadjust requires a toothpick. It's not on-the-fly.
The male endlinks of the old one also make the watch wear larger, but that's only a problem for wristlets.

JLC Reverso vs Master Control FIGHT

[Anonymous No.17994677]

>>17994660
The basic Master Control Date costs 9,550.-
The basic Reverso Classic Monoface costs 10,300.-

Obviously, this does not take into account the discounts the ADs will offer you, which will probably be about 15-20% but that's still pretty expensive.
The MC has a simpler case whereas the Reverso has a much more complicated case. The MC's movement is automatic but is simpler and is also used in more watches so they can save money there, while the Reverso's hand-winding movement is shaped to fit the case, so there's less economies of scale.

Both feel more expensive than they should be because JLCs were so underpriced for so long, but whining about price hikes is a waste of time.

I suspect fucken /fa/ has a different opinion of course, so roast me you gronks.

>Are Titanium grank seikos more scratch resistant than normal steel watches?
No. Titanium is softer than steel. Seiko applies a coating to make it more scratch resistant than normal titanium, but even then, it's still softer than steel.

No. metal doesn't heal. Certain metals that are soft enough will have the individual scratches all mush into one other creating a "uniform" surface of scratches. Metals that are hard and brittle will simply chip.

why is there a stigma when watches in general are old fashioned and the average normie you meet will think you're a weirdo for not using an iwatch anyways, unless you have a rolex and then they'll just try to steal it.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, do you mean actually old vintage watches or are you saying vintage watches to mean mechanical or automatic watches in general?

If you mean actual vintage watches it's because they are generally harder and more expensive to maintain and get parts for and even if they are well taken care of they'll still ultimately need more maintenance and will neber be as accurate as new manufactured watches. You could also end up getting hornswaggled and paying a lot of money for a lemon or overpaying for a watch that turns out to not be what you thought it was. That intimidates some people, maybe most people. But if you understand what you're buying and what you're getting into there's nothing wrong with it.

If you're asking why do people prefer quartz and smart watches over mechanical watches, it's much of the same reason plus they give you better timekeeping and features for much cheaper. Someone that doesn't understand what you see in mechanical watches will probably never understand it if they can't get past accuracy or needing to wind and set it all the time and whatever. It just takes a certain kind of person to appreciate and wear them these days.

>what constitute a good bracelet in your opinion

Links should be thin with free movement but no rattle or play (definitely no binding). They should be shaped and sized so that they drape comfortably around the wrist. No sharp edges.
Sizing should be done via screws (or other methods like Cartier's tool-free version) but never pins and collars.
The bracelet should have a comfortable taper down to the clasp.
The clasp should be thin and well-proportioned to the bracelet (not overly long and bulky. The clasp should offer tool-free microadjust, along with at least one half-link in the bracelet itself, to get a perfect fit.
The finishing should be the equal to the degree of case finishing.

hey guys, I''ve got a friend who likes well made automatic watches with a slant towards divers. his current best watch is a lovely oris about 3K USD, which he chose because of the in-house movement.

His current collection lacks something silly and fun, and I would like to buy that for him. I'm thinking a skeleton with a nice movement but beyond that I'm not entirely sure where to go. I'd like something a little garish because he lacks that, but the classier and more well made it is the more likely he'll accept it. Any recommendations?

It sucks but it's possible they just don't know when it will be ready. The AD might not know. All they did was mail it off. Still, though, they should at least get in touch with the service center and follow up for you.

Well if you're specifically trying to make radio hits they can't be too 'out there' or too niche, the melody has to be somewhat catchy for it to be accepted and like by many people, so it helps to dumb the music down and have the standard drops and such... I used to be a DJ so i know a thing or two about music, i have no musical theory though, but i know what works and what doesn't. I didn't mean to berate you or anything, it's just that my taste in music is a bit more refined. I wish you good luck in your career.

It depends on if you're thinking about the watch as a permanent acquisition or something you intend to eventually sell.
Selling a watch without B&P, especially if it's a commonly faked watch, is much harder than selling a complete set, and it typically commands a lower price. Some people simply will not buy a watch without them.

Plenty of places will say "the power reserve is a little shorter than what is expected" or "there should be better movement finishing at this price point". Those are the unflattering parts. An educated customer knows those are pretty harsh things to say.

Do you want a magazine that's really acerbic and just flat out says "this watch is dogshit"? That's just not going to happen. The manufacturers will simply refuse to include them in any press events or releases and not submit watches for review.

While we find it funny, most people find that kind of mean-spiritedness a real turn-off. Even for many of us, it gets tiresome after a while.

Plus, running a magazine without any industry access is pretty difficult. You're always the last to know about any news since you'll have to find out from reading your competitors. People will order you to stop using their pictures. You won't make as much money advertising. Basically you'll just be running a blog.

Locally in my little european country. Learning to DJ isn't that hard, once you learn how to beatmatch and mix it's easy. It helps to practice, a lot, so that you know the songs you're playing inside and out, which one goes together and which one doesn't, then it's all about the flow and not being too wasted. Just get a console and start banging.

We mostly did our own gigs in my city though, i prefer a semi-private atmosphere of around 50-100 people where you can relax and just feel good, it also helps knowing your friend's musical tastes so you can drop someone's favorite song and make their day.
