Is any of this shit any good? What kind of a brand is that anyway?

Just bought a fake Sea-gull 1963 for less than $200, seemed to have a fair few sales and reviews so fingers crossed it's a good repro. Also got the sapphire crystal and a "gooseneck"-thingy but I dunno what it is.

How do you guys supress the urge to consoom? If a person wants to wear a watch at all times you only really need 2. A gshock(or equivalent digital watch) for rough situations and one other for the rest. Before someone says you don't need a watch so even 1 is already illogical,
>If a person wants to wear a watch at all times

I feel guilty when my collection go over 3 watches, but I like more than 3 watches.

whenever i get deep into watches, i have to do a reset of my values. for most of us who aren't extremely wealthy, anything above $5,000 dollars is a lot of money. you could go on a very nice vacation, easily buy a nice entry level rifle and plenty of ammo and accessories, a project car, or even all of the above if you stretch a bit. all of those things are just examples and everyone has different hobbies, but there are plenty of things out there that will bring you a variety of experiences and in my opinion more value to your life than an expensive watch-piece.

>>15680323
adding onto this, its really easy to fall deep into watches because of the content on youtube and other media sites. when you look at articles reviewing Lange, Pateks, and Dufour for hours, it normalizes you to a price range that is honestly insane to 99.9% of people out there.

>>15680323
I think this is mainly a problem when you don't have anything else going on. I find in lockdown I have fallen into the hole a bit more because I can't really go out and do anything.

When you're a multifaceted individual you're never going to devote all of your disposable income into one hobby. I think that's mainly a problem for people who tie their whole identity to a reddit forum and blow it all on entry level Seiko's and funko pops.

I can see what you mean though. I could see myself getting a £3k tudor or something but spending Rolex money. I could go on holiday with my new Tudor go out for dinner make improvements to my house.

not trying to imply people with expenses watches have nothing else to them( for the most part). They just have more money to indulge those hobbies, whereas I don't.

>>15680323
bro i can barely justify spending 100$ on a gigashitter, 100 fucking dollars could upgrade so much in my place and i just spent it on a fricking vostok.

>>15680321

You are only ever going to be wearing one watch at a time. Life is too short to buy the watches you like. Buy ones you love, I wait until there is something that haunts my dreams before I pull the trigger.

If you like watches like anything else it's not a sprint to the finish line. enjoy what you love. I don't think I'd feel guilty for having a collection of X number of watches if it was something I had collected over time. I think there should be a certain amount of curation to a "collection".

>>15680336
It wasn't an either/or situation though ? There is going to be another time when you have $100 in your bank and you can fix up your house with your gigashitter on your wrist.

I think if you keep buying stuff you only like it's just the thrill of something new it's going to wear off pretty fast. Get something that makes you happy every time you look down. Don't step on the hedonic treadmill of watches.

>>15680347
thankfully i only have 2 (3 kinda but one is just a casio workout shitter) watches, both around 100$ and they bring me a lot of joy. i thought i could maybe get into watches, buy a few and get out but the interest keeps pulling me back in

>>15680323
As someone who isn't retarded to begin with, I mainly just come here to laugh at the hideous shitters people buy. I have never felt an urge to blow a grand on a watch, let alone 10, and the few watches I own all fill an obvious niche.

I only buy interesting watches. Next up on my list of shit to buy is a tuning fork watch, but I'm waiting for the right model to come up for sale, at the right price.

>>15680310
>wearing a commie watch

>>15680321
>How do you guys supress the urge to consoom?
Learn that watches can be jewelry or tools.If you are a utilitarian person won't need to have a lot of watches, just enough watches to fill a role, basically 2-4 watches can be more than enough for any ocassion and it can be cheap, no need to be affordable luxury items.

I'm a frugal guy and I'm thinking about spending 3-4k next year, don't know if it will be a single watch,many shitters,or a combination, then maybe some random chinkshit or some russian shitter or some digi watch if needed.

>>15680324
Before thinking about spending that amount of $ I thought about purchasing a new road bike, but was pretty unnecessary since I already had a couple of bikes,one of them fairly new, so I started looking at something that I could buy and that wasn't something that is not phisical like vacations, food, parties,travels,electronics that can become obsolete in a couple of years... The point is that with 3-4k you could already get a damn fucking nice bike, 1,5k you can have a decent bike, and you never felt the need to get an expensive bike because people told you to do, the comunity is pretty clear, you can pay more but a expensive bike won't give you more than a cheaper one, the increment in price is more than the increment of performance (in terms of watches, like getting a workhorse movement 3hander vs 3 hander in house), and generally as long as you like bikes, you won't be seeing as a pariah even if your bike is not expensive. Now in watch circles, there is a lot of pushing for the higher end, poorfags vs richfags, meme terms like ''entry level'' ,affordable luxury,quartz shit,stablishing tiers so you can think about gettin into the next tier... wtf, they are fucking watches, as long as they tell the time is enough.You can buy a motorbike with an entry level watch budget and it will be more useful. A lot of love about horology but the reality is love about luxury lifestyle instead of liking watches.

>>15680359
That's right baby, more quirky than buying a submariner look-a-like.

Howdie my fellow autists haha so uh my father gave me this watch, does anyone know the value and where can I get cash for it without an ID?

>>15680310
>not chad-acrylic
its not really a "fake" seagull, the movement inside is still a st19, likely still supplied by seagull. Seagull themselves did not make the 1963 until a couple of years ago. Until then it was various grey factories like Redstar who had been making them, either semi officially or "appropriated". When Seagull saw how well these watches were doing overseas with westerners they themselves reissued their own 1963, making a 5500pcs limited edition at $750, along with a 650pcs 'Plan B' limited edition at $1000 iirc.
the difference is an extra line of chinese text on the dial and the removal of the display back. (sad!)

>gooseneck
a gooseneck is a metal spring (pic related) that allows you to regulate the watch by turning a screw, instead of moving a lever. It's just a minor upgrade but hey why not.

>>15680294
Left, right, or middle?

>>15680422
Hideous.
The watch looks nice though.

>>15680444
you have to go with the white dial finishing on those everytime, no? if that's real gold, i think i even like the golden one but the bracelet and case color is weird.

>>15680444
Checked.
For me, it's:

>>15680444
Right

>>15680448
scratch that, i just looked at it seperately and i like that bracelet color even more than the cold steel. really unique.

>>15680444
the middle one looks like someone pissed in the snow, the gold is actually so vibrant it looks out of place and this is in seiko's publicity images which actually dull the look of the watch so it would only be even worse in person
the GMT is very compelling, is a true GMT, and looks better in person, if you want a simple watch you probably want that one because it's versatile but still has personality.
the snowflake is really beautiful, if you can handle the size the dial is magnificent. it really does give the impression of a calm field of snow, but you have to like that concept otherwise you will get bored of it

>>15680438
Yeah I figured that if it has the same movement then it's authentic enough. A thought just occurred though, do you know how often these watches need servicing? I'm a bit concerned that servicing the watch will end up costing more than the piece itself since it's pretty complex

>>15680444

>>15680461
would be my go to but can't drop +20K in a watch as of now

>>15680438
the gooseneck also applies pressure against the lever to help in preventing it being knocked out of calibration etc ?

I may be making that up though ?

>>15680460
>mechanical chronograph, column wheel
>servicing
it will be very costly and yes likely more than the <200 bucks
your mileage will depend on your luck i think. Its a horizontal clutch chronograph so dont leave the chrono running for long periods of time.

What is the cheapest mechanical watch I can buy that isn't made entirely out of plastic ?

I want to larp has a watchmaker and have a ago at taking it apart. there is a 99.99999% change I am going to break it.
Ideally I'd like to get to the point where i can get a project spare/repairs watch and not entirely butcher it.

>>15680487
indian HMT watches
$15 on ebay.
soviet shitters in poor condition also cost around $30

>>15680487
2-3 used seiko 5 on ebay

>>15680487
go on alibaba and take a look at the 20$ mechanicals they have. the movements run surprisingly fine but have 0 finishing, so you can just go at it.

>>15680338
It matters, somewhat, because wearing your watch above the bone limits your movement unless you're wearing a lady's watch that's below 30mm with a 10mm strap.
Only argument in favor of it is that it's easier to read the time because the watch isn't as far inside your cuff or sleeve. At the end of the day, that means your shirts are not sized correctly OR that you are wearing a fat tool watch with a shirt.
And if you are wearing a fat tool watch, then putting it over the bone will only make your movement much worse, which you probably don't want if you are in a situation where you need a tool watch.
>inb4 that fart sniffer comes back to make up some bullshit about how that's why the nobles wore their watch above the bone because they never need to work, with absolutely zero evidence other than photos of a notorious showoff or a half-prole with no taste

>>15680422

>>15680480
Well shit. At least it will still be a nice display piece when it gives up the ghost.

>>15680422
Stop shitting the thread up with the unfunniest bait trash. Shit it up with something original, you jew.

>>15680422
few thousand dollars

>>15680444
right

>>15680444
Right.

>>15680310
i want one of these specifically just to stare at the movement

>>15680560
The movement itself looks better than the sneedmaster one, the finishing is rough, but its more appealing.

does this apply to everything? so is the grill bezel applicable to every watch?

Why do watches attract the biggest soibois?

This guy is the most vile example. They treat them with like toys touching themselves ofer lume shots

>>15680678
Yeah as long as they fit

>>15680683
Looks like the kind of dude that would yell like a girl at Nintendo releases.

>>15680696
how do i know if it'll fit?

>>15680323
It's gotta hurt

>>15680460
Chronographs are expensive to service, but the movement itself is cheap. If you're feeling hands on one day, you could buy some tools and mess around.

>>15680701
I'm pretty sure the amphibia bezels fill all the amphibia and amphibia se models

>>15680361
>You can buy a motorbike with an entry level watch budget and it will be more useful.
Yeah and it will be an entry level motorbike too.

>>15680460
I have read somewhere that you should expect a servicing in the first two years.

I would advise to not using that watch for daily or recurrent use,maybe two or three days each month and the watch will last a lot of years,probably.If it breaks, as you say, you can always see the movement, is nice or even purchasing another watch and even trying to purchase the movement and changing it, I'm seeing that it cost 100eur new at aliexpress, so maybe getting one+labour service at a watchmaker can get your watch running again for less than 200.

>>15680726
oh okay, thanks. another question, do you know how intrusive this bezel is for reading time? i really do like this bezel, im the guy from the last thread btw

>>15680683
he is also a kike and mocks german watches because muh holocaust literally

>>15680729
Which is enough and will last years and maybe even will save you from higher costs and will provide utility and not just a shiny weight on your wrist that tells the time even worse than a casio f91-w.

>>15680683
He tries so hard to affect a "manly" image. Always with penknives and things he perceives to be butch in the periphery.

>>15680683
It's like with anime figurine or funko pop collector söys. Just another hobby where they can throw their money at.
They lack personality so they try as hard as they can to latch onto something. But since these "people" have a damaged psyche, they have little control and just overdo it like with everything. A bit of autism is also a big driver for that.
Most of them have also this silly elitism after throwing away loads of money. They think they are now worth something and can talk like a big boy.

The weaker a mans psyche, the bigger beta he was, the bigger the complexes they develop. It's like giving suddenly power to some total bitch and he can't handle it at all.

>>15680808

3 cheap mechanicals
>569€ poljot 3133 chrono zeppelin
>360€ eta 2824-2 junkers
>190€ chinese noname auto, local, german jewely store chain, christ

Rest is just cheap quartz shitters, about 10. Casios, hommages and the standard diving watch, which i wear the most.
I lost interest in mechanical watches after gaining more and more knowledge. I discovered that i care about the design and dial mostly. If i could, I'd buy all of them in quartz. All the styles that i like would be too expensive to finance and my taste changes over time.

>>15680817
Nah, just a very strong example of certain types in this hobby, fueled by my hate for that fat kike and him being shilled here.

>>15680743
Some anon bought one a while ago and posted pic in the thread, it's definitely a funky look and limits visibility some but it still seems readable

>>15680875
Okay, makes more sense to me now. Are there no aftermarket bezels in bronze, that also have the same shape as the helmet grid?
Would be an easy money opportunity.

Fuck it, I've ordered this one on Dutyfreeisland today. I've tried it on at another nearby boutique and it chuffed me to bits. No more watches for the next months.

As much as I want to get the Formex Reef, I'll just save up for next year, it's not running away from me.

>>15680853
>>15680857

>>15680887
>massive Rolex fanboy
Oh.
so thats why he had a bitch fit over PANGANI DESIGN and got into arguments with his viewers in the comments.

>>15680900
He is a huge snob but isn't self-conscious about it, at all. Everything about his taste and his takes on the watches he reviews show a really strong bias towards "expensive = good", but because he likes G-Shocks so much and they are affordable, that's enough to convince himself that he is not biased in that way.
The really annoying part is that it shows so much whenever he touches on microbrand. He just can't help bud judge them on a standard that they really cannot compete with. Of course a Boldr is not going to be as polished as a Rolex or a JLC, that does not make it a bad watch. Whenever he reviews tool watches, it can be summed up as "well a Rolex Explorer is better than this and a G-Shock is cheaper so don't bother"
So of course, homages and the "shitter range" are not going to be something he likes. His audience however isn't exactly able to afford several Rolexes. Especially with his on-camera persona (if it is a persona, and let's hope it is) appealing to younger audiences by aping off the typical big youtuber in tone and delivery.
I'm telling you, he might be the worst.

>>15680918
sounds like his opinion as a reviewer is worthless

>>15680900
Really?, I must troll his channel with Pagani design coments.

>>15680898

He's a typical brandwhore. Imagine spending thousands on rolex, all that cope and justification, all the preaching of the marketing lingo. The waitlist and dicksucking at the AD, just to get on his good side.

>jacob and co is trash

you can dislike their designs but they push all sorts of impressive engineering memery and they dont take themselves so seriously like some stuffy HH brands

>>15680969
thats unfortunate, everyone here is saying its ugly so i wont go with it. ill look for something different

>>15680981
J&co, Richard Mille and to an extent Ulysse nardin are great snob filters.
Yes, their designs tend to be pretty terrible and tasteless, but they are the watchmakers pushing the envelope today.
The fact that they seem to be doing it in ways that specifically annoy the purists is an added bonus if you ask me.

>>15680985
I just think Richard Milles are fucking ugly
>hurr durr dee durr but they use different case materials
I don't care if they make watches out of fucking Gummy Bears their watches look like toys

>>15680988
I think I've only ever seen one RM that didn't look awful, the gimmick was that the case was an empty frame with a wire net and the movement was built on the net itself instead of having a main plate and bridge. Because the point was to show the net, then there was very little going on in terms of dial and hands so they had to refrain their maximalist autism.
But yeah, their design is pretty ugly most of the time.
The engineering going into their stuff is impressive though.

>>15680992
>Ugly designs, impressive engineering
Seconded. Then again, people likely only buy them as a status symbol rather than looking nice.

>>15680988
>hurr durr dee durr but they use different case materials
Why is it that every designer using unusual materials for their cases does meme-tier shit?
The only one I can think of who doesn't is Giuliano Mazzuoli with his marble cases.

>>15681126
>why do people mock invicta for shit taste when things like this exist and sell for a quarter of a million?

Because it cost a lot.Design is not important, money is.See how many people use the money argument when trying to defend watches, for some watches all they have is its monetary value or brand.

>>15681126
The price point makes it seem legit. After all, tehre's no way something that's ugly and shit could be so expensive, right? It HAS to be a good design if it costs that much.

>>15681114
He spoonfeeds Wikipedia articles to manchildren so he can sell nato straps and get youtube bux.

>>15681126
>why do people mock invicta for shit taste when things like this exist and sell for a quarter of a million?

because invicta is cheap, it gets looked down on.
but tbqh its also about the movement inside. Invicta uses cheap quartz shit for their chunky watches and they dont have an inhouse calibre now afaik

hublot and J&Co and RMs may look like garish shit but they have actual tech inside

>>15681133
...but they could make the watch look good on the outside too, and they sell that shit to footballers who don't care about the movement anyway and just want to know what time it is
this is like laughing at some guy's shitty geo metro but then you buy some fad eurocar that has a 200km/h engine inside and it looks exactly like the geo metro and you will be driving it at 15km/h 99% of the time anyway

>>15680683
I don't get how people follow guys like him.
For example, most of these videos are simply them recommending/reviewing or talking shit about watches that they never held/seen in real life, using stock pics as example.
All of their advice is bullshit just repeating whatever is popular on the internet(patek/rolex overrated, GS, lange -> good, tag/hublot -> the worst thing in the world).
The biggest bullshit detector is always saying snowflakes are the best thing in the world for 5k, but every time these guys buy a watch in that price range, is always an explorer 2/datejust/reverso/motm etc... really makes you think how honest they are.

>>15681137
its not about being tasteful, its about showing off.
its a brand for the noveau riche and the ones looking to offend polite company.

>>15681137
>but they could make the watch look good on the outside too

I watched a Producer Michael YT video, he was shown two suitcases filled with jacob shitters, I only liked a couple and then the fucking dudes said that those two watches were the ugliest of all of them, they were the only ones that didn't have glued gemstones all over the place.

You can match this one to your jorts

does anyone still make a watch with tritium for the lume?

>I don't think Gravyboat's point was that $4k is not a lot of money (though that itself is relative), but that as far as serious manufactures go, the BB58 is at the lower end of the market. I own one - it has visible finishing defects on the hands, the bezel is misaligned by around 0.5mm, and I dare not take a loupe to it. But it's essentially an entry-level watch. It's a great little piece (and great value) for what it is, but I don't expect anything close to perfection at this price point.

FUCKING HELL

Yeah a ton of brands. Ball, Marathon, CWC, Luminox, MWC, this >>15680297

>>15681174
There is a strange cognitive dissonance in the watch world.

Why should i pay 4k for a watch when I can get one for 40 or 400 "quality and finishing"

Qc issue on a 4k watch "what do you expect its not a 40k watch"

Fuck me these people.

>>15681174
should have bought a grand seiko.

>>15681165
i kinda get the appeal, they look good like a MTG gshock looks good
at least this thing is only $1000 instead of $35000

>>15681170
yes? look up marathon/bertucci etc and if you are really broke or just want the tritium you can buy this, its like $50 for full tritium, really good deal for what it is

what a fucking whale. These are the kind of CHUDS that enable the brands to gouge prices. Literally go eat a dick

>>15681185
Both true, if you want perfect stuff, give money to the jews or purchase shitters that have enough quality.

The best thing is the guy is crying over some fault on the side of the hand that is only seen with a magnifiying glass and its a fucking tool watch. He is right on the lume, but not on the damn scratch.

>>15681198
For thousands of dollars that watch better be perfect, otherwise nothing puts it above Chinese homages besides a white man's hands touching it

Bro, I have seen this movie at least a half dozen times when I just came over to Canada FOB.

That time is gone...with our youth

Kind of want to get a speedy reduced as my first luxury watch, but it feels so basic; I feel like my first should be something more special, you know?

>>15681289
"kind of want" doesnt sound particularly special. It sounds like you are buying what you have been told is good value or is popular.

If you love the watch it will be special

>>15680321
Browsing Chrono24 puts my mind at ease. When you see just how many Rolexes, Omegas, Pateks, Langes,etc are for sale, and just how few of them are actually unique, then it helps to reset the mind a bit. Expensive watches are no longer 'special', they're just expensive, and there are lots of them out there. That issue alone (i.e. uniqueness) makes me see expensive watches as less of a thing that I want to get so everyone else can notice how special my watch is, and in today's world, that issue of consumer uniqueness is a huge contributing factor to why we buy things at all. Exclusivity really doesn't exist unless you're buying something of a 1-off from a single watchmaker or buying something ludicrously rare or in exceptional condition.

I have 6 watches on my list that I continually come back to over the course of the last 20 years, and so far I've acquired only 1. The 2nd is currently somewhere on a plane (hopefully) on its way to me. The other 4 will wait until the price is right.

One other thing to remember about the internet age: the vast majority of youtube videos that are 'reviewing' a watch are done by someone connected with the industry or someone who owns a watch shop and sells watches. Very very few are done by normies who just love a watch and want to share their enthusiasm with others. This makes the whole, '10 reasons I love the Speedmaster' type of video like a used-car salesman. It doesn't stop me from enjoying Watchfinder & Co's videos (they are shot well), but I know that they're reviewing watches because they want to sell them, not because they're necessarily passionate about them.

>it's been a long time folks...

>>15681417
because the several thousand goes into marketing memes and not production quality.

whats the deal with this and why is everybody shilling it

>>15681383

>>15681417
Bear in mind that Seagull and other chinese manufacturers can make just about any movement for fractions of the price of the Swiss and German counterparts; they do a Tourbillon for 500USD, for example. But I think you answered your own question (i.e. 'luxury watch'). It's a luxury, and you're paying for the name/brand, the status of wearing the brand, the quality control and servicing of the brand, etc.

Regarding the cam action vs. column wheel: column wheels are less reliable in harsh conditions than the cam, they're more expensive to produce, and over time they encounter more wear (with upper portions of the castellated wheel even being ripped off). There's a reason why Omega replaced the 321 cal. with the 861, for instance, and it was not only because of budget. Cams are easier and cheaper to produce, easier and cheaper to maintain and regulate or adjust, and are better over long periods of time without the servicing.

My own 1963 is the only column wheel I own, and while it's fun, I know that if it breaks down I'll simply either buy a new one or try fixing it myself. The cost of servicing is higher than the cost of the watch new.

Now a Sugess Tourbillon...I've had thoughts about buying one just to have a tourbillon and 'get over' the toy-factor of the complication. But their watches are fucking ugly as sin.

>>15681429
The Lemania 5100 isn't very photogenic, and given the number of plastic parts as well, I think it would be more of a disappointment to people than a benefit. It's an exceptional movement, just not something that garners 'oohs' and 'aahs' the way that movements with all metal components do.

>>15681445
It's one of the best watches that vostok makes, the bracelet is actually decent quality, the dial looks good, the neptune guy is cool.

are there any other that you would recommend aside from the neptune SE? its alot of money honestly.

chinese st19 movement. kinda pretty

>>15681490
Any of the regular neptune line is good, the only thing i would avoid are the cheap komradkies because the cases are plated metal instead of stainless steel.
I like the 420 series neptune watches.

>>15681490
Damn bro. You must not be doing well if you can't fork out that much for a mechanical watch.
710 SE ''icebreacker''
170 classic, feels like an SE though
960 classic also feels nice but comes with a folded link bracelet rather than the solid of the 960 SE

>>15681505
>>15681500
ok fine, ill buy the neptune SE. are there any modifications you guys would recommend i do? ive heard these watches are very modable. also im not sure if this is true but meranom allows you to pick certain pieces to mod your watch and theyll do it for you?

>>15681522
Yes they do that. If you want to mod it get a basic one. Something like a neptune SE is good the way it is, doesn't really need modding other than being relumed at some point.

>>15681522
Yeah you can do customizations you can have them swap belezs and even dials for a flat $5 fee. If you get the neptune it doesn't really need to be messed with.

>>15681522
Personally what I would do with a neptune is recase it from a 960 case to literally any other case, I am not a fan at all of the 960 case. I wish they would sell the 020 case but it hasn't restocked in over a year.

Here's a nice neptune recase into a 710 ministry case.

Thoughts on the HKED 1963? The design is closest to the original, the price is good and by all accounts the QC is good. Any flaws?

I like the look of this and every watchfag on yt says its good. My question for watchfags is, can I repair this myself (clean, lube, new main spring) in 5 years once its really off time? How much would it cost to have a watch shop do it?

I usually only buy tech that I can repair myself (computers, cars, etc) because Im autistic

>>15680321
I don't see the problem.

>>15681760
You can just switch out the movement when it dies to a better one. One eith hand winding.

>>15680422
You can pawn it, or go on Chrono 24, but you must authenticate it first. Anyway, a messy ordeal; personally would rather keep it.

The go to is an nh35, what you find in most microbrand watches. I'm not 100% sure it's compatible but I think it should be.

>>15681787
Thanks a tonne!

when it comes to dial colors, do you just pick the one that you personally like the most out of the bunch, or do you pick a color that you think highlights the details of the watch?

>>15681788
Try to find out what movement that seiko 5 has and then google if it can be replaced eith an nh35

>>15681884
He's not an autist, he just lacks self awareness.

>>15681760
You can do it, but it will take a lot of learning so you might wanna practice first. Probably will take at least 10 years before you need to do anything. With the 7S26 movement, there will be cheap replacement parts and whole movements around for years to come.
When I got into vintage watches, I realized that with the price of one servicing I could just buy the basic stuff to work on them myself, and it's been really interesting. Also really frustrating at times.
>>15681787
>>15681784
Yeah, NH36 (not date-only 35) is a 4R36 offered to other manufacturers, and it's just an upgraded 7S26 so it should fit. It is slightly thicker, but not enough to cause problems in most cases. I actually have one coming in to swap to a SNK807, so I'll let you know how that goes. I'm mostly worried about how well you can hand wind it with the small recessed crown design.

>>15681408
Fuck me what flew up your vag. I was just saying it doesn't sound like he was in love with it and for 3k for a watch thats going to be a pain in the ass to service (pretty sure omega don't service they just swap out the movement).

They belong in the same group as Lumtec, Victorinox and similar. They almost exclusively make field watches or ones in that aesthetic, heavy on lume or tritium. Maybe a bit overpriced, but an alternative to the other companies in the same field.

>>15681967
I would have gotten a similar looking casio and it would have been pretty much the same watch at a fraction of the price. It's kinda boring desu but I guess that's the point.

>>15681747
Something I discovered earlier in the thread is that the watch is so cheap for a mechanical chrono that it's basically a write-off when it needs servicing. So don't use it too often, or expect that it will end up as a display piece rather than a daily driver.

Any suggestions for a single watch collection that isn't too dressy and isn't too low class either? Just something nice enough to wear for the rest of my days (3-4 years max).

>>15682141
A single watch does not make a collection. Also if you are asking for recommendations it's a good idea to give a budget, just sayin.

The answer to that has always been Rolex Datejust and it will always be Rolex Datejust.

>>15682162
>ya it can be swapped relatively easily but you need to swap the movement holder as well iirc. The stem would need to be changed too i think
Yeah, and the day wheel since the SNK has a 4 o'clock crown. I don't have a new crown at hand, so I hope I can get the original one off the old stem easily.

>>15682175
is watch collecting really all about loving everything old and hating everything new?

>>15682174
Fuck, what did they do to it?
The original with blue dial is pure class.

>>15682172
just get a seiko 5 and leave us alone

>>15682195
You could also call it refining your tastes to the point where anything different, including a revised model of the same from the same brand, puts it in the "haven't, won't, and wouldn't" bucket.

>>15682172
a budget of $150-$550 is good enough.

what exactly do you want? your description is very vague

>>15682195
Nah, I just really liked the look of older ones with green glass, and that orange lightning in otherwise boring case. Would be passable if it was it's own thing, I'm just being salty about older one being replaced by that, I'd guess.

No, there aren't. Modern watches fall into one of three categories.

>cheap quartz
This is alright if you just want a watch and don't care what it looks like.
>automatics
Outdated boomer tech that only a fucking retard would ever buy.
>overpriced quartz
Passable, but you're paying a bomb for the sake of finishing work.

Meanwhile there are plenty of great vintage quartz models that look fantastic because they were pricey as fuck new, are built with actual jewels and shit instead of boring motors, and they're even more accurate now because now the crystals are aged and you can really dial them in.

Sure, in an ideal world, we'd have 500 dollar models of F-91Ws with sapphire screens and titanium cases. But we don't, so the next best thing is vintage.

Quartz watches are the best watches though, unless we're talking chronographs or higher end complications.
The Breitling aerospace/cockpit, GS Spring drive or Longines VHP watches are just so sweet.

>durr quartz r teh shitterz XD

Enjoy getting fucked in the ass when you need to service your 10k autismo watch.

Missing some serious good feels, anon.

How hard is it to read? I love panda dials but I got the black ver because I thought the gold/white hands on white dial would be impossible to read in sunlight and now I'm having some regrets.
If I decide to start a "themed" collection one day, it would be vintage panda sports chronos

>>15682364
You don't like getting fucked in the ass?? Also you think 10k is a lot of money??

>>15682334
not him i like the different colours tbqh. its a fun one
>>15682371
that watch is like $1000 now

>>15682365
But that is ugly as fuck.

>>15682382
Subjective, but it's certainly not pretty. I think it's cool though.

>>15682380
>that watch is like $1000 now
I know :( Whoever was designing seiko's chronos knew what they were doing though

>>15682325
no

>>15682382

>>15682404
>zero arguments or replies
lol

who do I hold in the same esteem as Rolex... Well... Nobody. Rolex does it’s own thing, and none of the true high-end marques really try to do what they do. Plenty of lower marques do, but they’re, you know, lower.

Rolex makes high(ish) end beaters. Let me clarify- they make high-end sports and professional tool watches designed to have the living hell kicked out of them, and continue to function and look good. And they are the highest-end watchmaker that does that, bar none.

Vacheron doesn’t intend for you to dive in your Overseas, or run it through a jungle. The only seal that’s actually been in proximity to AP’s Offshore is a dead one wrapped around the neck of some Oligarch’s wife.

So in terms of terms of holding other marques in the same esteem as Rolex... Well, they are the best at what they do. So I don’t.

a $65 gshock is more durable than an rolex ever made.

>>15682408
This. Rolex are the pleb filter of watches.

>>15682410

>>15682412
Rolex is the LV bag of watches.

Sell all of those to help fund a watch that's at least half-decent.

>>15682412
>easily the best known and most desirable "luxury" brand, so much so that any and all pleb even in the third world has some idea what a Rolex is

if the concept it too hard for you to understand then you are on the wrong board.

>>15682453
small peepee

imagine being this insecure you need a watch to help you out lmao instead of buying what you really like

>>15682420 >>15682434

The watch is fake. I do like the Rolex explorer I think it looks nice. its a damn good fake also has a 40 hour power reserve and is accurate as hell. has hacking and all.

Bought it years ago off eBay wouldn't be able to say what specifically. Just a generic Chinese box.

>>15682406
i like the new watch because it looks better In My Opinion

>>15682397
Why don't seiko make any mech chronographs anymore.

Is making special editions for the soi boi crowd just too easy for money ? They would make an absolute killing.

>>15682371
It's not difficult to read because the gold hands reflect the light differently than the dial.

>>15682380
The hands are 3 different colours and it looks like shit to me, maybe if the chrono seconds hand wasn't randomly red it wouldn't be as bad.

>>15682479
They do though.

>>15682462
>The watch is fake. I do like the Rolex explorer I think it looks nice.
How do I get a fake Rolex when I can't import it into my country because it'll get confiscated by customs?

>>15682504
Are there any more modern toolish watches that use the same movement.

It would be good to have a mech chronograph. But all the ones i can find aren't really my style

>>15682553
Just went to a trip to LA and there's so many watches on offer up that a picked up a big blue seiko for $50that needs repair. Then the guy saw I was wearing the alpha 1993 explorer homage to the rolex, he then went in and pulled out the fake rolex. Winded like butter. I declined his offer because I didn't want to spend more money. Later I looked online and found out that good replicas go for around $300 from china with nice movements in them. So I bought it for $50. It's gonna be my beater. I'm gonna do an oil change wearing the thing.

>>15682635
Theres the HKED bundeswehr chronograph.

>>15682657
>Later I looked online and found out that good replicas go for around $300 from china with nice movements in them.
Except they don't, there are no 'good' fakes for less than $600-700, and the actually good ones are $1-2k.

>>15682453
If fashion is all you care about, you can buy an homage or a replica, but then if you care about it not being real it means you don't really care about the fashion and care about the idea of the brand and know you will be judged by snobs for it.

>>15682103
repostan

>>15682691
Who the hell would buy a fake watch around $1-2k? That's even dumber than what I'm doing. But hey to each their own.

>>15682417
I would get some snazzy parnis homages in there and some. Love the alpha explorer

>>15682657
>. I'm gonna do an oil change wearing the thing.
lel, fuckin A!
