The GS Snowflake has a textured dial that made to resemble the windswept snow of the Nagano Prefecture. As you know, Nagano is where they make the high end movements found in the Grand Seiko collection. The GS Snowflake also has a power reserve indicator on the dial, it is the quarter circle looking thing on the dial. Very nifty.

The GS Hi-Beat has a different movement, and a non-textured dial, but it is still a very worthy watch.

I am basically saying that the GS Snowflake and the GS Hi-Beat are completely different.

[Anonymous No.7736445]

>>7736429
I know the differences, but I think the power reserve makes the whole dial look shit. Maybe I should have said "Would look better without the power reserve" instead of "looks" but I know they're different watches.

[Anonymous No.7736454]

>>7736445
Yeah, yeah. I was just yanking your chain.

The dial is beautiful, but that quarter-pie ruins it for me too. But then, I'm not a fan of most complications, with the exception being moonphases and chronographs.

[Anonymous No.7736484]

>>7736454
I'd be the same. I think a lot of Seiko's would look better without the day/date and just having the date. Apparently, everyone with a modded Seiko face agrees.

I wonder why they insist on adding the power reserve on every spring drive.

[Anonymous No.7736794]

>>7736757
Basically, yea, if you have a top tier diver that is worth its salt, then wear it however the fuck you want, you've got the scratch so what else matters. That being said, if you've got the money for a top diver, you've got money for a top dress watch, and why not do it right.

But yea, don't wear an Invicta for dress, however it's fine for banging about and still looking good.

>>7736764
I wouldn't call that a dress watch, the face and body are good, but the band (especially the stitching) looks too rugged for dress wear.

Making a statement doesn't necessarily mean standing out. I'm not the guy who's going to buy a platinum tourbillon minute repeater to impress coworkers and customers, that would scream insecurity in my opinion. I'm aware that that might be hypocritical since I'm considering buying a Rolex, but just having a nice watch that's a classic is important to me.

Dude, of course those are awesome

>>7736829
Okay, fair and of course I don't expect you to get a watch-nerd watch, unless you're a watch nerd. That being said, Submariners are fucking boring, every single manufacturer out there makes something that knocks off that styling, and to be frank, unless you're shouting from the hills IM WEARING A ROLEX people are just going to assume you're rocking a freaking invicta.

You can spend your watch dollars as you will, and if a submariner is your dream watch then why are you even asking the question? At the end of the day, if you want to make a statement, a submariner makes the statement of "I just bought this cause it seemed like the watch everyone else has bought". That is why Rolex is considered babbies first decent watch, because the brand saturation has reached the point where if you say "fancy watch" people immediately think Rolex, even people who couldn't name another watch manufacturer.

As to the quality to cost ratio of Rolex, I suggest you start trolling around watchuseek and other forums. To be frank the current consensus is that the lower tier Rolex watches are, at this point, surpassed by watches 1/3 as costly in quality, but because it says ROLEX, they are gonna always make money.

[Anonymous No.7736881]

>watch-nerd watch
Such as? Since I want a sports watch, I don't have many choices. I mean the Royal Oak (normal one, not the Offshore crap) is nice, but I'd have to save up like two months for the model I like (base model fortunately but still), and saving up for a watch seems silly to me.

I'm sure other, cheaper watches than Rolex are "better", but if I want a classic, what else can I possibly get?

[Anonymous No.7736886]

[Anonymous No.7736918]

Is around 10k your budget? Because there are at least a few hundred excellent watches from classic makers in that budget. I mean, how could you even ask "what else can I possibly get?", you literally are in the sweet spot for nearly every catalog maker entry-level watch.

Have you looked at anything other than Rolexes at all?

[Anonymous No.7736937]

>>7736787
Yes, the submariner is what you want. Tag is kid's tier. Omega makes a fine watch, but its resale value pales in comparison to Rolex.

He said he wants resale value, not a tag that'll break in 2 years. A rolex is a 50 year watch easy if you care for it.

[Anonymous No.7737050]

>>7737011
No, it's not the only option, but it's the most fitting one given your criteria. I don't find their brand recognition to be a downside like the other anon that is posting, though.

To be fair I prefer Omega's styling more, they're just such handsome watches. But if you read the Omega forums in one of the many Omega vs Rolex threads, you will see that even Omega owners concede that Rolex beats Omega in their movements, in their service, and in their brand recognition.


Also to be fair, a Seamaster costs about 1/4 of what a Submariner costs.

[Anonymous No.7737043]

The only thing I don't like about the sub is that the part where the bezel attaches to the band is so rectangular. On the seamaster it's angled in and smaller in width. Other than that I think the sub is handsome as fuck.

The regular seamaster diver is what they have that competes with the subm in features. They have one called a planet ocean which has upgraded movement and is more expensive, but it's also bigger than the subm and a chrono so it's not really a direct competitor IMO. I also don't think it looks as good as the regular seamaster.

Are you fucking serious, though? All you have to do is remove the spring pin. It is the small bar that connects the strap to the watch head. Since you were banging the thing like a jackass, you probably broke it.

One of my many issues with Tag.

I love the 1887... till i realised it's an IWC Portuguese Chronograph copy... and the movement issue was a classic fuck up.

Tags have always been about the marketing and trying to market themselves as a real watch company yet are incapable of developing their own movement...

I love this line

>>“The origin of the patent was not in the original press release we sent out on the 1887, so the first thing we did on Monday was to mention that the intellectual property was from Seiko Instruments (SII), which is the engineering company under the Seiko umbrella,”

So basically you lied about the movement being 100% in house tried to use marketing speak to claw back credibility lol

Here's a bit of the original press release

>Back in January 2006, we started looking at every mechanical chronograph on the market, and none made the grade in terms of our criteria — high-volume production, unbeatable reliability, easy maintenance and reasonable manufacturing cost. So we set out to make our own, and three years later came up with a beauty.

>The turnaround time for a new movement — from first draft to final product — is between 3 and 5 years. The Calibre 1887 is at the front end of the timeframe. But we didn’t rush anything, we took our time, we didn’t make any compromises. When it was completely ready, we launched. As always, the number one priority was to produce the best possible product.

>>7755181
guess theyre all original then, yeah

I wear >>7755005 if I'm heading to a festival or if skateboarding but the others not really.
One is broken, one is old and showing it and the other is meh, my tastes have changed since buying them - they wear a little too small for my liking but are a great go-to quartz knock around watch with good style and a recognizable brand
there is no cheaper swiss alternative, I think.

A lot of these brands aren't really made in Germany and I wouldn't pay $600 and up for something that isn't really made in Germany.
Seiko actually made in Japan is really expensive, so are actually made in Germany watches, but there's a lot of expensive "German" that is not really German.

[Anonymous No.7755372]

So what is a good $300-600 and up set of watches worth it? I see a lot that are price gouged to make them seem luxurious when you can buy them online for $80.

Which is what I was lamenting how overpriced Invicta is and it uses fancy Latin to make you think it's genuine Swiss. I was wondering if there was anything other than Seiko around the 100 to 200 mark.

I don't, do you have bad reading comprehension? I don't want a Jap watch, I don't want a Jap watch faked as a Swiss watch either. I want a name that isn't total fucking bollocks.

The Portuguese chrono is by far one of the best looking chronographs on the market. That movement in that watch in the photo was modified inhouse by IWC.

I don't actually know what's happening now though since they use sellitas in the 3714 now.

I'd take that over a Zenith anyday. But it's pure personal opinion, I've just never liked zenith.

at those prices, settling for ETA/Valjoux/Sellita movements is ridiculous.

Agree on the aesthetics but that's about it.

[Mifune No.7756603]

>>7756546
Again, it's modified and made to IWC specs so it's not a vanilla movement per se.

I've always said ETA et al are fine movements, whether or not it's worth the money is up to the individual.

true that.

bought Elysse in Muenchen 3 years ago in a vacation, and broke down after a month. I shelled out 500eur for that. when I took it to a watch store for repair, it's revealed that the movement is chinese lol

though it does look beautiful and solid from the outside.

dont go with halfass "german" brand unless you really know the movement.
