WATCHES: POST EM HERE YOU DUMB FUCKS

[Anonymous No.9646323]

[Anonymous No.9646340]

Got this as a gift. Usually I'd be pretty sketchy about someone choosing my watch for me but I love it.

[Anonymous No.9646346]

Could you get away with wearing the two on the right casually/every day or would it draw too much attention?

[Anonymous No.9646352]

Maybe if you wore long sleeves that covered it up.

[Anonymous No.9646363]

>>9646352

What about t-shirts?

I showed this pic to a friend who knew nothing about watches and he didn't think it was that expensive/flashy at all

Seems like it would draw less attention from the average person than a big bulky submariner

[Anonymous No.9646365]

>>9646346
Yes, definitely. They may not match the way you dress but that's another thing entirely.

[Anonymous No.9646379]

>>9646363
Is there really any watch that to the average joe looks like it costs several months worth of salaries, though? I'm pretty much an average Joe myself when it comes to watches and a submariner wouldn't look expensive to me until I saw the Rolex logo, until then it could be any brand.

[Anonymous No.9646384]

>>9646363
True. Not everyone will recognize it, people aren't exactly gonna be gathering around in crowds then whats the worry? If I saw you wearing it in the street I'd be staring out of jealousy, cuz I'm a poorfag, so it would definitely catch my attention. Depends how you dress too though.

[Anonymous No.9646400]

>>9646379

I agree, I think people won't notice unless it is a big shiny gold watch, I think that would go under the radar for most people and they wouldn't give it a second look, just want others opinions.

>>9646384
The worry is maybe getting mugged or maybe looking like a snob/flashy
I'm trying to figure out is my chances of getting mugged substantially higher wearing that then lets say a two tone rolex or something. Are you a bit of a watch aficionado?
I think most people that may look at the watch would think it wasn't that expensive(especially muggers who are probably more on the lookout for big rolexes/gold watches), just has a little bit of gold on it and a regular leather strap, seems pretty understated

[Anonymous No.9646445]

>>9646400
I'm in no way an aficionado, I've just spent a lot of time looking at expensive watches while whispering 'one day....' to myself. And yeah I don't think being mugged is going to be a massive problem wearing it, that depends on where you live/where you'll be wearing it in general. I've never suffered from attention on any watch I've worn cuz I've never worn one worth over £300....I can imagine the worry will increase a canny bit when it comes to £30,000 ha

[Anonymous No.9646512]

>>9646445
It really depends on the watch. The last one I had was a £50 invicta that got a lot of attention from people - it was a really nice divers watch with a two tone bracelet.

My current watch was just shy of a grand and nobody has said shit about it.

Too thick/10 plus shit water resistance because the caseback is pressed in rather than screwed in

If you're ok with that then it's still a nice looking watch as long as you look at it head on so you don't notice how thick it is. I personally like white better especially since it's a dressier watch. I prefer dark dials for more casual watches.

[Anonymous No.9647344]

idm about thickness as i'm pretty tall and the only water on it will be rain between coat and gloves but its good to know that they're pressed rather than screwed- cheers for that. I probably agree with you about white, plus white is from an actual jewellers site

[Anonymous No.9647457]

I've come to the conclusion that the two best bracelet types are plain no-bullshit oyster bracelets or the type in the photo. Debate me.

Also I'm not really sure what to call this type of bracelet, I thin I've only seen it on snowfrakes and a few other Grand Seikos and on some Speedmasters.

[Anonymous No.9647465]

>>9647457
They're certainly functional, just I can't help but associate them with the cheap watches that use those chunkier bracelets. on personal preference, I prefer brick style for comfort and looks. If you want an heirloom watch, buy leather though

you may need to get it serviced. if you do, see if they can clean up the dial while they're in there ? wear it as often as you can. don't take for granted what a special gift it is.

SARB033 or 035? I'm leaning more towards white because I like the white one better by itself, but I feel like black might look better actually sitting on my wrist as part of an outfit, if that makes sense. I know some people here have SARBs, how does the dial look in person? I like that it's a simple subdued style, but I don't want it to be completely flat and featureless up close. I've been jerking off to all the beautifully textured grand seiko dials lately and everything else pales in comparison.

And why can't Seiko put those beautiful huge grand seiko dauphine hands on anything cheaper? What I really wish I could buy is an SBGX059 or SBGH001 or a snowfrake.

Ditch the strap ASAP. It blows goats, srsly. Gonna wear out at one of the edges despite being stiff as fuck, how do they even do it?

I also HATE the lume, re-lume if you can. And the crown sucks, too. How comes Chineese $47 watch can have nice finely machined crown with a fucking logo and fucking special edition twice that price can't?

That said, I didn't say the watch as a whole sucks, right? I like amphibians, it's an interesting design, definitely worth having one of these in a collection just because of this, and not too bad a casual watch either. But if only they got the fucking details right! It takes them fucking special edition to ditch eagles and tanks and bears on the dial, I hope someone comes up with super special edition sometime.

I used to have very similar 420, this one is 120 I believe.

You can get started for a whole lot less, it all depends on how deep in to it you want to get. As for the possibility of you breaking things instead of fixing them, that'll probably happen a few times.

the toolkit we get is really only needed for a really wide range of really involved repairs, and even then its a little bit of overkill. If you wanted to do something like swap a movement, you don't need more than some screwdrivers, hand pullers and a case opener, if you even need that.

Strap is fine. Has a vintage vibe to go with the dial. They don't wear out that quickly. Some quick fire can melt any fraying.

If you don't know, the dots and numbers are all lumed on that model and it works well.

It could just be a limitation to their equipment, and it's not as critical to import. Purchase an entirely different model like the 1967, Amfibia, or K-34 if you want a design from scratch.

Most modern Komandirskies have shitty designs save a few. I'd argue the opposite for Amphibians.

It works so well that without a description you sometimes can't tell the lume is there. Of two SEs I've been wearing none had good lume, I probably just should keep trying. Just before this mini cold war I asked them if they'll be making another batch of pic related and they were going to, not sure about it now but I hope they will.

I'd like to see really good Russian watches, without 'buts' and 'ifs', and the factory in Chistopol is one of two factories which still actually make watches, full cycle, and when I look at SEs and mods people make I see they have great opportunities, and it would be great to see them getting better over time.

Nobody on the street is going to take the watch off your wrist without you noticing. If you are really worried, just wear a metal band.

Just avoid sketchy areas, and be with friends at night to avoid getting mugged.

I dont know shit about watches but I really really want a rodina st17. Now can I find it for less than 120 dollars? Second hand? Something else? Eventually I'll cop it for 120 but cheaper the sooner, thanks!

the Seiko's fucking ugly and they both look in bad condition. Maybe get them cleaned up a bit

By having good taste.

Unlikely. You can search watchuseek f29 for a secondhand one but they're not super common to resell and any affordable put up there goes pretty quick anyway.

Helgray makes a vintage racing chrono style watch.
Alpha makes a watch styled after the Rolex that Paul Newman wore, I guess that makes it a motorsport watch.

my initial reaction is that those bracelets look like total shit. well, I guess the left one is sort of OK. you'd have to wear some kind of fifty-year-old business casual dadcore fit for it to go with, though.

How is this for a first watch? I am trying to get something decent under 200. I don't know too much about watches though.

Not a bad choice, have a look at the guide posted earlier in this thread. Your budget isn't much, this is a good thing for a first watch, because chances are your taste will change and you might not like it in time, this is also why you should opt for a generic looking watch for you first watch, Junkers are a good brand and that design is timeless, I would cop
