If you wear a G-Shock without actually doing demanding outdoor/survival activities, you're a fucking semen-slurper. Just get a random nice-looking quartzshitter you fruitcake.

Can someone help identify the watch of Singham?

You can just image search "Singham" for more pics, can't really find a closeup.

>>15661959
I'm not 100% sure if it's the same watch, better view of it on this one though.

>>15661922
Never had a problem with my seiko5 for 3+ years. No hacking is annoying so setting the time takes a little practice

>>15661953
look for it in the catalog yourself, you lazy mong

>>15661969
these are the new seiko5s, they dont use 7s26 anymore
its a 4r36 inside but they are also like $275 dollars.
no bezel, no screwdown, 100wr and mineral glass.

Does this one keep time better than the other seiko 5?

I was looking to upgrade my own seiko.

>>15661965
>>15661959
It's not a G-Shock. Maybe it's a Pro-Trek or a Luminox or something. Or it could just be some random Indian/Chinese G-Shock knockoff shitter.
Maybe you should settle for just getting a GA700SE, the watch the Spec Ops poo wears in Extraction

>>15661975
If by "other Seiko 5s" then yes since older S5s use a shittier movement while the new Sports ones at least have a 4R36 which has hacking, hand winding, and tends to be either more accurate or better regulated. Maybe both.
Honestly though in the $300 range you have your pick of many sweet microbrands that use that same movement but will give you actual sapphire crystals and milled clasps and sheeit.

>>15661975
>keep time better
>7s26 vs 4r36
anecdotally yes but on paper they are almost the same movement and 95% swappable between cases.
in terms of other specs there are better marginal choices, watches that also use the nh35a(4r36) but have things like sapphire, titanium etc
in terms of movement a ETA or a high beat miyota 9xxx is better

it depends on how much you like it

>>15661986
>>15661990
Do you have a link to
>>15661922
this watch?

Or since this is in the 300 dollar range, are there any other automatics that compare that look similar with better specs? Looking to trade up from my old one, I intend to use my own cuff so the band doesn't mean anything to me.

I want a watch with an actually functional back
For example you set perpetual calendar and you see month and year only on the back, and so you have perpetual with clean face
pic related has year on back and chode hand to point on month

Anything like this?

>>15662042
No anon, Rolex has only ever manufactured a couple of quartz watches. Mechanical watches store their power in a torsion spring.

>>15662062
No anon, clocks too follow the first law of thermodynamics. Some watches are wound by a weight following your motion, some are hardwound. Those old grandfather clocks need a push every now and then too.

>>15662062
>real clockwork just run forever?
no
friction, wear and tear, drying up of movement
with maintenance it can run forever
without maintenance 5-40+ years

I purchased a vostok shitter and I need to set the time almost every morning, and if I don't wear it for a week the time is super far off. Is this normal for one of these? Am I fucking something up or is it just a shitty watch?

>>15662075
I don't think you understood me right. Automatics have this off centered weight in them that rotates as you move your hand, winding up the mainspring.
Theoretically, this'll last forever and it'll keep running until the end of the universe so long as you keep wearing it. In reality? You gotta take it in every so often to fix up whatever might get worn down through all this use.
And how often is that and how much does it cost? Dunno lol, I'm too broke to own a Rolex.

>>15662075
every 10 years or so, it gets its power from moving your wrist around and stores that energy for up to 3 days depending on the model

i was thinking suunto traverse alpha. are they shit

>>15662093
>I need to set the time almost every morning
its perfectly normal for mechanicals to +- 20 seconds a day.
anything greatly higher (losing actual whole minutes a day) means theres something wrong, or maybe you magnetized your watch by accident
> if I don't wear it for a week the time is super far off.
its running all the time right?

you can regulate it to improve accuracy. There are videoes on youtube.
if watch is magnetized you can buy a demagnetizer.

>>15662075
This video used to be in the OP, maybe it helps you. There's lots and lots of other watchmakers that make watches without battery (usually automatic watches like Rolex, see in the video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COAmqUuW_Rs

>>15662103
not the guy but how do I avoid getting my watch magnetized? I have a phone cover with a magnet lock, should I get rid of it?

>>15662101
It's finnish. They have their opinions about what works and what doesn't. So it's broadly a matter of taste, and you'd best look at reviews both positive and negative from different kinds of people and then decide for yourself.

It's like buying a gun made in the Czech republic, really. European fairyland goods.

>>15662106
>phone cover with a magnet lock
nah, just be mindful of where you place your watch
its very hard to avoid such things.
speakers, computers, many electronics...
for example recently I realised my wacom drawing pad is magnetic and I have been putting my watch on it so often. oh well.
its easy to fix though.

>>15662108
>It's like buying a gun made in the Czech republic, really. European fairyland goods.

>>15662111

>>15662109
ah cool so it's nothing catastrophic.

>>15662123
>>15662124
It has flavour which you might not like. (or might. but, it could be an acquired taste.) Look at the competition also, so you don't get burned.

For example, a lot of "trekking computer" type watches don't do breadcrumb navigation, so there's no standard user interface for that (besides touchscreen wanking). And given where it's from, it may end up being a right christmas tree in terms of features, of which you'd use 2% and the rest becomes a UI maze where you end up lost in half the time. IIUC some of the Suunto engineers used to work for Nokia back in the feature-phone days.

>>15661791
San Martin just released a BB58 homage
its a bit thicker than the original (13mm) due to them using the thicker NH-35 movement but otherwise it looks decent.

>>15662139
oh and the mercedes hand for some reason, didn't even notice that at first

>>15662067
Cope harder

>>15661791
Something about this watch is really ugly, maybe its just pictures but the negative screen somehow looks worse than usual.
Also the face looks like shit, all the text is too small and there is too much poorly balanced negative space

>>15662139
holy shit that rivet bracelet is so fucking ugly
why does tudor think that looks good?

>>15662224
Good question, it looks like shit
Im pretty sure rolex put that on the bb58 to make sure they didnt accidentally make a watch that looks better than the sub

>>15662226
they probably also put the extra line of text on the pelagos dial to shit it up too
tudor is seriously being held back by rolex and their shitty fucking rolex tropes

I've been hearing that thing about
>Lesser know brands will do better for less money.

Can I get a rundown on this? Wanna explore some different options instead of BOCTOK and Seiko.

>>15662241
what's there to understand?
look at seiko, they still make great watches that I think are still reasonably priced although they're really fucking pushing it. but they're coasting on name because seiko is an old, established brand with recognition and following. so now the price of the watch is upshifted but they are not offering more value. the 6R movements are not wholly new, and are plagued with issues, yet this is what they choose to offer for the midrange market. you still get hardlex, you still don't get a milled clasp.
meanwhile chinkshit brands are able to offer a genuine seiko, eta, or sellita movement, with cases just as well machined, real sapphire, milled clasps, etc. for half the price. same for your microbrand of choice. why? because they cannot coast on reputation built up in the past, they need to prove to you that they are worth your dollar, so they must excel otherwise you would just go with the tried-and-true brand you know.

Grand seikos are shiny as hell, are the other watches that say zaratsu polishing or sallaz like the casio oceanus and orient star also the same?

>>15662258
Minase watches is the other zaratsu weeb brand. Shinzo Abe has one.

The ebay ruskie I ordered this from got this puppy to me in 18 days, very based comrade. Am loving this chonker.

whats your one-and-done, /wt/?

>>15662391
it's a nice design, but it's way to big for a dress watch. 40.5mm is huge desu.

Is the Navitimer the ultimate watch pleb filter?

>waaa its too busy
>waaaa how do you even use it
>waaaa i can’t read the time

I cringe whenever I see plebs rate the navitimer. One thing is to dislike the aesthetic, another is to dislike a watch because you can’t bother to spend 30 seconds to read instructions on how to use an E6B ruler.

>>15662404
i wonder why orient make it that size

>>15662417
The design is fine but you have no idea how shitty that watch is lol

should have set the bezel to allign (it actually alligns with 12)

Was thinking of getting a Seamaster or Speedmaster. Having trouble deciding. Thoughts, anons?

>>15662449

Dress watches are for faggots. Simple as.
Imagine cucking yourself out of a spinny bezel because some faggot on reddit told you le can't wear it with my rented suit

my watch charges when i move my hand and when i turn the crown. lets say i wont be wearing the watch for a day, could i wind the watch and not wear it?

>>15662564
Yes

How many of you are asians itt?

>>15662567
oh thanks, i was worried that it would somehow damage it and make it lose more seconds a day.

>>15662545
We won't. Definitely 2-3 mm bigger than I would prefer, but I couldn't stop from loving the watch. I had a disease and the only cure was a shiny oversized jap shitter.

>Your budget
Flexible. Cheaper is better, but I'd like to know if there's some wild thing out there that's exactly what I want for an unattainable amount.

>Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot
Looking for something dressy, but it also being clearly readable and rugged without looking like a tool watch would be nice.

>Movement, e.g. automatic, hand wound, quartz
Ideally automatic, but very flexible.

>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, 2nd time zone
Here's the thing: a true, not doubled layered, 24 hour dial. Ideally with separate minute and second hands, not one of those gimmicky single hand ones.

Again, ruggedness is nice. Something elegant and clearly dressy, a little offbeat and/or flashy without being gaudy, but still functional would be ideal.

I know about Raketas, I have one, but I'd like something a little prettier and jewelry-y (but probably without actual jewels on the face). Something like a Cartier Tank (or Ronde) Solo, but with arabic numerals (ideally) in a true 24 hour setup and a second hand. If I were getting a custom dream... with a dark charcoal grey titanium case and a dial the color of the hands in the picture, with silver hands and the seconds labeled on the inside like the 24 hours on the Ronde.

>Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet
Leather probably.

>Wrist size or desired watch size
Like ~30mm, 38mm absolute tops. Small wrist.

TL;DR small true 24 hour dress watch, options?

>>15662623
also realized a pic of the specific current Tank and Ronde I'm referencing there might jog a head

Any recommendations for futuristic yet minimalistic style watches?

>>15662788
no, sorry

Pls share some strap ideas for fixed lug watches. There’s the NATO/zulu straps, lunar style, and single pass Velcro styles. What else am I missing? I have a watch that uses screw and tube style lugs, instead of spring bars, and they got stuck. The lugs aren’t going anywhere, but I’m okay with the concept of a fixed lug watch.

>>15662251
I just want some names of those brands to do a bit of research.
I wanted to get a SNKL43 since mine was stolen but I don't want to spend 100€ on an old movement that only has self winding just because seiko stopped with the production, same goes for the Seikonaut.

buy a citizen promaster diver and then buy an aftermarket metal bracelet for it from china

Whats the catch here? I know they are replicas, but how accurate are they? I can´t find any videos about them.

>>15663130
Jomashop doesn't sell replicas

>>15663133
Call it fakes then.

>>15663130
Lange is one of the most established, oldest and best German watchmakers, they should belong in the big 3.

>>15663122
Citizen is the go-to brand for quartz that costs over 200 bucks.

>>15663150
>>15663125

And they are quality? Worth the price?

I was looking at the promaster diver before, I like the blue one.

>>15663153
Yes, for quartz you can't get better.

>>15663113
>>15663130
Did you just ignore the three next numbers after the first three? Everything I see is tens to hundreds of thousands.

>>15663153
Citizen tries harder with their quartz offerings than anybody else in the watch game. Their Eco-Drive is a very efficient and reliable solar quartz movement. And they are a brand with heritage too. Citizen is an old company, it was created to bring great watches to the people. It's not just some shitter brand.
The Promaster Diver is amazing. 60 click bezel that works well. The dial on the blue one is great and the hands really pop. The weight is good too, substantial but not heavy. It has a very cool look, different from generic divers but not too over the top. The blue lume is a nice touch too, rarely seen at that price point. The only flaw is that the bezel design is a little too rounded, it would have been better if it were fully toothed or scalloped, but you can still easily turn it.
You can get aftermarket bracelets for it for probably around 30AUD that work great. Like Super Engineers or shark mesh if you want an alternative to the typical oyster bracelet that fit the watch well.
I got one for my dad when the watch was on sale for $120 and he is over the moon about it even though he owns much more expensive watches.

I'm starting at a bank in an entry/schooling position and need a dress watch. For some reason I have the feeling it has to be mechanical but it also feels like shit buying a low end dress watch like Tissot or a Seiko 5 that will lose like 30 seconds a day, I really would love a reliable dress watch. My budget is also low as fuck, I simply don't want to spend more than 200€ on a watch. I was thinking about that eco drive citizen, black dial, 39mm radio controlled on the leather strap. Or can you recommend a classy mechanical for that price that doesn't scream "I bought the entry model of entry models just for the automatic bro"

>>15663193

It looks cute and quirky, I like it. Would look good with flannels.

>>15661873
uhh I'm annoyed with how much of a miss this watch is desu. I love tuning fork watches, so when they announced a successor that seemed like an interesting take on smooth sweeping quartz I was quite excited for it.

Then it's like they decided to try to adopt the styling direction of invicta. Just so out of touch. What the fuck guys.

finally got my edifice quartz and therefore my first "real" watch i guess :) managed to shorten the bracelet by myself. i'm a complete wristlet but it wears fine right? also the photo is shit i know, i dont have my main phone.

here's from a distance.

To the guys who told me to get a Raketa Copernicus, thank you, this thing is legit banging. Really surprised me with the size as well, truly marvelous.

>>15663440
Size is fine, watch is not my style but hey that's the point with this game

>>15663440
Will get compliments from normies / 10

>>15663397

>>15663403
Just cropped the picture a little better

>>15661922
you can get a chink seiko hoemaji for half the price and much superior specs.

>>15663447
could be but i genuinely liked it the most out of probably 15 options i considered. i like the royal oakesque form, the fact it has sapphire, the dial in general and the yellow highlights that make it a bit special and fun.

>>15663407
Great specs and super size, especially the lack of thickness.
The dial design is what it is (personally don’t like this classic field watch design with the 24 hours in the centre circle but whatever).
Price is fine. Go with the Sellita even if it’s a bit more expensive.

>>15663431
Based, and nice to hear that you managed to do it yourself. Yeah it’s probably a fine size. The angle and closeness to the subject of the photo makes it look big, but I’m sure in irl life it’s appropriate.
I may have been the one to suggest it first if you are one specific poster I’m thinking of and I hope you enjoy it. It’s a very good-looking watch in my own personal opinion.

>>15663447

yeah i posted in like 3 generals in a row now, so it's probably me. i asked about a daily shitter for around 100 bucks and then asked about removing links. thank you for the compliment and all the advice you and other anons gave, this is one of the most based generals on this cespool site. i remember i actually found this watch on the casio site myself but kinda skipped it because i got on the mechanical train, then you or some other anon referred me back to it and then i was dead set on quartz and fell in love at second sight.

>>15663477

Yeah, we should have a sister thread in /soc/ or something. The 'rona got me thirsty enough to give these concealed boobies an impregnating gaze.

I’m in the lucky situation where I can witness the path I didn’t follow while I enjoy the one I did.
I’m somewhat loving the cheap shitter route while my colleague has spent about a year by now looking at, and almost bidding for, Datejusts and Daydates. He’s always so close to putting in a bid, but there’s always just this little detail keeping him from doing it with each watch.

>Yesterday, Putin stunned workers at a factory in the town of Tula when he gave away his latest timepiece to a worker.

Dressed in blue overalls, factory employee Viktor Zagaevsky approached Russia's tsar-like leader and asked him whether he might like to offer a memento. Apparently unable to think of an appropriate souvenir, Russia's premier swiftly took off his £5,500 black Blancpain watch and handed it over to a gobsmacked Zagaevsky.

Thoughts on Milanese straps? I'm never sure if I like how this looks, it matches the looks of the watch but the straight ends always ruin it for me.

>>15663684
The Mach is such a great design, it's a shame the rubber pushers age like milk and that only the recent quartz versions have iron pushers.

>>15663396
Very dark nipples

>>15663716
It's vintage aesthetics, you like them or not.I like them, they usually look good on almost every watch as long as the colour-finish matches with the case, not to mention they are comfy as fuck.

>>15663716
they look good if you look rugged and hairy
they can look too effeminate if you lack the musculature to balance it out/ too much of a wristlet

>>15663719
>nooo, you can't have non-rubber pushers, that would totally ruin the ergonomic concept of the watch
it's a very french thing, they come up with a unique design incorporating novel ideas only to fuck up a small but important detail out of nonsense theoretical autism

I'm going to put one on my f91-w, should I go with straight black or stainless

>>15663753
Don't do it retard.
Just put a 2 piece perlon or silicon strap on it.

>>15663753
Black, stainless would look like shit. My casio royale (silver model)had a milanese until this morning, I wanted to change for a bit until I go back to it.

>>15663753
black for the full PVD meme
but keep in mind the coating will not last

>>15663760
>>15663759
Thanks
>>15663758
I'm going to wear it to my clinicals and no one will stop me

I keep getting ads for this brand called Goodspeed, which uses fucking kickstarter to fund their watch releases. Anybody know anything about this?

>>15663767

>>15663760
the coat not lasting is not really a problem, the problem is that the case is plastic and won't show wear as the bracelet, so it will be look like shit, a pvd watch with scratches can look good if you like your items showing some wear. For full autism, is better a NATO on that bad boy.

>>15663767
we have Dan Henry as /wt/'s resident vintage-inspired chronograph microshitter brand

>>15663775
Natos are not good on F91ws. They add so much bulk it's ridiculous considering how small the watch itself is.

>>15663775
I mean I see milanese straps for $35 bucks, surely it will last a few years of daily use in a hospital? I'll just replace it. It's just a meme I want to get because I'm sick with the rona and bored.

>>15663800

you can get them for $3.50 on aliexpress, but yea, sure why not for a meme and a laugh.

what the wtf is that????????????

>>15663816

>>15661791
>Should I buy this Swiss Made mechanical timekeeper?

>>15662404
That's because its for throwing on fun natos and wearing casually. That's what I do with my Esteem and I love it.

>>15663688
It’s a rep

>>15663829
F91 is the worst choice for a survival watch like that. Should be something with better water resistance and electroluminescence. A basic g-square would be much better, the world time royale could also be a good choice with its 100m water resistance and the fact it has an analog time display on the dial that could be used as a backup compass.

>>15663884
maybe is a watch for dry environments, not every place on earth has a lot of water.

edifice anon here again, is it normal that the bracelet or the watch squeaks?

>>15663893
Still would want something better than an f91. Better light and a bit more features can always come in handy. A world time isn't much more than an f91 and arguably a much better watch.

https://www.jomashop.com/glycine-watch-gl0109.html

How is this watch, can these be self wound at all?

>>15663898
no, but just put some grease/oil on the affecting joint. Not a big deal.

>>15663914
The airman looks cooler. Automatic means its self winging yes

>>15663914
the GL224 is Glycine's version of the ETA 2824, which is automatic and also handwinding and hacking.

But like all ETA 2824s, handwinding is advised to be kept at a minimum/occasional

>>15663925
I prefer the more simple dials, also I meant in addition to being self winding, some of these let you manually wind

It's been a headache looking for a watch.

>>15663911
>arguably
It's better in every way

>>15663938
It's the perfect watch.

>>15663923
are you sure? maybe it goes away after a day of wear?

>>15663022
do you have to push the pusher to activate the display like the old ones or is it a constant display like a normal LCD watch?

>>15663936
so it has self and manual?

>>15663407
I think it's neat.
wish it was 37 or 38 but I can live with anything 40 and under.

>>15663937
get a simple vostok without a date. they are made to be handwound if that is the specific action that you want to do a lot.
and you can regulate them to be accurate, and its easy.
im sure the glycine would be 100% fine though.
glycines are a very good deal for a ETA tier movement, their prices are crazy for a big brand. Its even cheaper than what most AE brands are willing to go.

dont think so much f.a.m.

>>15663961
it wont hurt the watch, dont be afraid of such things. If you dont like the grease then just wash it off the bracelet. Use a tiny drop and then ease it into the joint.
silicone grease is 100% used for casebacks and Orings anyway. For things like bezels many people use oil/silicone grease to make them turn better. I used baby oil for my bezel.
>>15663974
yes they are self and manual. Aka auto and handwind.
But like i said, as most ETA2824s are, they do NOT like being handwound often. It should only be used occasionally.

it's fine.
probably the largest case you could go. edifices are well-spec'd for the price and pretty handsome other than that logo. although the white-on-dark logo looks better than the black-on-white, somehow.

>Are there any like this without the orange shit or the extra greeble on the rim there?
vostok has thousands of models and cases my man, you can go look, im lazy to dig.
go look on meranom, not ebay.
meranom gives the best prices. Checkout in russian rubles instead of USD to save even more.
ebay is more expensive, only when you want certain models that arent in stock on meranom.

vostok bezels can be easily replaced. For things like the hands or whatever its more involved.

I opened the case back of my starking watch and this is what is inside it

>the straight ends always ruin it for me.
It's because of the curvy lugs. Looks much more at home on straighter, squarer lugs like on vintage dress watches

>>15664028
The cheapest one. I paid 19 euros on sale

How legit is the Ferdinand Berthoud brand?

It's owned by Chopard, which has been in the hands of same family (Scheufele) since the 60s when the last Chopard sold it to them.

>>15663688
and Blancpain immediately sent Putin a new one gratis, no doubt.
everyone wins.

>>15663716

>>15663453
That's a neat NATO, Fembro.

>>15664022
I like rotors like this. everyone puts logos and type on them and it looks super tacky. even plain looks worse than this style

>>15664101
You need to wear golden clothes too.

I guess if you are not wearing a tracksuit or some sportwear, a gold watch can be worn with no problem.And as usual most people won't notice your watch.If the watch has a brown leather bracelet then a gold watch is totally ok and easier to pull off than a gold bracelet.

wooo I slightly overpayed for a watch that no longer is sold with the older movement

>>15664107
it is a bezel, but an internal/inner bezel.
i dont think it can be replaced, at least not easily.
You'll need a replacement bezel and also take the watch apart for a inner bezel.

vostoks with outer bezels are the one that are easy to replace

OK, hi guys.
I hope your Seikos and F-91Ws are all well and good.

i ordered a $86 one hander from luch.by and I was surprised at the extremely prompt same day reply in english, and FREE shipping all the way here to SEasia.
Its their new 3.0 series, many now in full stainless steel (vs plated brass in the past)and with smoll exhibition window (back then only on more special models).

This is a good argument which extends to other products also. I have two German cameras, a Leica and a pre-unification Agfa. The latter has no exposed screw-heads aside from a weird two-hole spanner head on the bottom which is hard to recognize as a screwhead; even in the film bay there are no screw heads. The Leica also has no exposed screwheads accessible to the ordinary user.

Compare to Japanese cameras, which do have exposed screwheads. Even the really good ones, pro models from Nikon and Canon. Even the film era ones. Japan kind of didn't care about that sort of thing, and apparently still doesn't. For good reason too, because the user doesn't care; the jerries only do this to please themselves.

The swiss are mountain jews. They outsource to bugmen, but still.
Bugmen watches shouldn't be lumped in with what the mountain jews sell

>>15664204
I have one.
People say the bracelet pulls hairs. It does. It is not too bad if you have only a moderately hairy arm but if your arm is very hairy then I think it could be annoying for you. Other than that, it's really nice. Looks fantastic, very light and comfortable, and the yellow backlight is extremely legible. I wish they had updated the module a little bit to have timer and maybe the ability to shut off the button tone but it's still great.

>>15664456
>Bugmen watches shouldn't be lumped in with what the mountain jews sell
Of course not. One is actually fairly priced and worth buying.
