Top laughter.

I still have mine from my awkward highschool days. That watch went through 4 years of near-quotidian HS wear, heavy use on paintball fields for "tactical reasons", and the occasional use during college. It's a tacky cheap piece of shit that isn't exactly a cheap piece of shit.

Thanks for the laugh, OP. I'm going to give that watch a good polish and a new battery.

I finally got a Seiko sports/dressy watch right now with zrc strap from shipping.

My next Affordable-level watch for the collection might be a SKX007 or a SNZF17/SNZF29. But problem is that it's the same type of automatic movement as the one in the pic.

Can someone recommend me a Diver & Sports/Sport-chronograph watch other than anything by Seiko in the same affordable price range? I need one that's original and not a homage ripoff that includes an auto movement.

"Movement" refers to the clockwork, or the mechanics of the watch. This particular movement is powered by a battery, unlike it's hand-wind or self-wind counterparts. The movement for the Timex in question is reliable, and it is dead-quiet. Automatic watches are known for their tell-tale *tick, tick, tick, tickity-tick*. But this watch is quieter than a mouse.

Also, that JCrew Weekender is worth every penny. Definitely cop that timepiece. I'd pick up a Timex over a Rolex everyday. Did you know that Timex watches are more reliable than Rolex? Now you know.

If a watch takes a battery then in basically every case it's a quartz watch, which means it has a quartz oscillator in its circuitry that measures time very accurately, but it's also incredibly cheap to produce.

This is compared to mechanical watches that need to be wound rather than taking a battery, which is less accurate and costs more, which is why it's usually reserved for higher end watches.

I don't really care too much about it, but if I can find one it'll be an instant cop. Regardless, I think I'll cop me the weekender. It looks nice and is affordable.

showering will kill the timex but it's okay because you can find the change in the centre console of your car to buy a new one.

a 5k luxury watch can be passed down through generations where as your timex is likely to just stop working, probably from dust fucking up the circuitry or the battery corroding due to the sloppy job by the shoe repair guy you took it to

Rolex is not some magical company that can defy the laws of physics that wear a watch's moving parts down over time just because they charge more. Eventually, with much variation, you will NEED to service the watch. A quartz movement has far less areas of weakness and can last indefinitely, not even dust will stop it because dust isn't typically conductive.

Nighthawk/Skyhawk is a solid, reliable watch. People say it's busy and whatnot, but at the same time don't realize that even stylistically simple isn't inherintly something you want to pursue without further reasoning. You can even appreciate the fact it's busy, kind of techy instrument-like watch. Great to have along side of simple dress watch for example.

Also, it looks even better live. Feels really solid if you get what I mean. In different league compared to for example the staple /fa/ mechanicals like Orient Makos, Seiko 5's.

Hey /fa/, is the timex weekender really that loud? I'm pretty sensitive to ticking noises and if it is that audible I'd prefer to keep looking.

Or should I keep looking? I've seen the LLbean watch recommended, and I've also seen the j crew x timex watch thrown around too.

Nah, at least not in terms of your usual modern watches which tend to be chunky. At 41/12mm it's very wearable as everyday watch. People use divers that go above 15mm thickness in daily basis for example.

I'll say it time & time again. Only buy a replica watch using replica printed money. Never buy retail cuz retail is for suckers. Buy one that's never out of style and you'll get your moneys back.

Basically you collect wristwatches like collecting trading cards and show off with them if you want to.

I'd rather this poster >>7163913 just use your cellphone instead of a fake watch. It's like buying a fake pokemon/baseball trading cards.

One of my sports homage/ripoff quartz watches has a separate 24hr hand if I wanted to move it. This watch isn't part of my daily wear anymore.

>>7164624
I think that 24hr dial in the top right on that pic might be a 24 hour actual time b/c it's at the 22o'clock position as the main hands. It's not a stopwatch function I think.

I need a motorcycle watch. Maybe a quartz? Some people wear g-shocks for their supersports bikes I think.

>>7168766
Get it if it's available. If it's collecting entry/affordable watches. You can get it and trade it away if it gets out of production.

But that one you posted looks like a vintage. And also it depends if you want more affordable watches (quantity) or just 1 great watch that's higher priced (quality).

Forget my answer I don't need one. I'll just wear my Seiko 5.

Since it can easily fit in my gloves I think. I mostly wear long sleeved dress shirts underneath my jacket with gloves. And it's just a beater watch.

Also these outfits are optional for a watch to wear, it depends on the individual. That's if they collect watches at all.

I think I'm on the side where metal bracelets should not be worn without a long sleeved top. It should be inside/concealed or shown for sports like golfing/diving. Leather is preferable for short sleeved I think.

It is.
The original digiborgs were produced in late 80's. Very solid though, some of them are working up to this day.
There is a look-alike model but way more advanced and expensive.

I'm into mechanical watches but I realize that there are ton of amazing quartz movements out there, from example Seiko/Grand Seiko, Citizen (A660), Breitling Superquartz and whatnot. I guess what I'm saying is that there are differences in quartz movements just like there are in mechanical movements, and I'd choose quality quartz over some cheap Chinese mechanical anyday, or HEQ like Seiko 9F or Citizen A660 over your standard ETA mechanical they use in 2k$ Tudors etc.

This is common with watch newbies who have have read from some random menswear guide that mechanical=le classy and quartz=BAD without further reasoning

World of HEQ/HAQ (high end quartz, high accuracy quartz) is pretty fascinating, but is mostly appreciated in West by the more well-informed watch people. In Japan they are more common and more appreciated.

Conventional quartz movement accurate to +-15-20/s per month, where has HEQ like 9F does 20s per YEAR, not to mention A660 who is rated to 5s per year. These are movements that don't update their timekeeping externally via radio signal or anything at any point. Also note that these movements are found in watches as low as 1k USD$ category, where as mechanical equivalent in same price range commonly use 40$ bulk ETA2824 or Miyota 9015 or similar, with very little "prestige" or finishing.

Here are some info about the 9F and the technologies it uses, it's quite different to standard quartz you find in a 40$ Fossil

There there are other quartz based technologies like Springdrive which again is totally different animal, incredibly impressive nevertheless.

Ps. I am mechanical guy, I "get" them. Just incase someone labels me as hater. I have four mechanical watches and one quartz which isn't even HEQ. I am however looking for good deal on Citizen Chronomaster as we speak.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 11:46:31 2013 No.7173087 >>7169650 save up. it aint too much for a quality watch with history and a nice design. but, do not! stop te chronograph while it is running! motherfuckers breaks!

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 11:48:31 2013 No.7173092 >>7170354 diver watches are awesome. but yeah i agree, diversity is good. doesnt disqualify this faggots opinion though..

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 11:50:31 2013 No.7173099 >>7170427 about 6 months. i fucking broke the chronograph though... sonofabitch! great watch though

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 11:51:32 2013 No.7173100 >>7173087 What do you mean don't stop the chronograph while it's running? Don't you need to do that? How does it break? I'd already absolved my self to try and save like $30 a week out of my budget so that I could get it here in a few months.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 11:52:31 2013 No.7173104 >>7170730 fuck yeah. the monster is a brilliant watch. clean industrial beauty. functional and smooth. and to the haters, it really is not that big compared to many divers, only 42 or 43mm

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 11:55:01 2013 No.7173112 >>7169364 a rather limited guide, but all in all not too bad. id stick with seiko at that budget personally

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 11:56:32 2013 No.7173113 Watches are useless artifacts. I don't understand why anyone in a modern setting would continue to use this because it's just stupid remnant of a bygone era. A bracelet or a cuff are more suiting if you want a status symbol.

I don't understand why anyone in the modern setting would continue to wear them because they're just stupid remnants of a bygone era when the earth was cooler. A toga or bathrobe are more suiting if you want a status symbol.

shit, thanks for that video. ive never heard any official word on how much shock/abuse a mechanical can take, and that video made me feel a whole lot better.

i certainly wont take my dress watches out for that kind of abuse, but my seiko diver beaters are gonna

stay mad

watches usually have one purpose, and using a watch to tell time is outmoded. therefore, it is safe to say that watches are obsolete.

unless, you're an athlete or in the forest, wearing a watch is tantamount to a hipster buying an address book, sure it's cute, but it has no value. value can only be derived from it because it is jewelry.

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 12:17:32 2013 No.7173185 >>7173002 for that price ou should just buy timex or vintage dress watches (bulova, for example). Id recommend you step up though and get a braun, about 200, but with solid credentials and history

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 12:19:34 2013 No.7173189 >>7173100 watch has two buttons. one to start and stop the chronograph, one to reset it. I accidently pushed the reset button while the chronogrpah was running... very bad. dont do that.

yeah a great daily wearer
anything to do with work and every day activities is perfect, I only don't wear it when doing physical/outdoors stuff

It's just fun to wind every morning too, and the chrono is fun to use, just find yourself timing random shit

>>	Anonymous Fri Nov 1 22:19:42 2013 No.7175338 >>7173099 wtf how did you do that? have you inquired about what it would cost to fix (also where are you in the world)?
