So all Rolex except for a couple of Submariner models.
Also most limited editions are investments, not watches. They might as well look like shit, it's not like you're gonna wear them anyway.

This is a whole new level of apologism for one of the big three tossing out their integrity to make gaudy trash for all cash chinese buyers.

Don't worry, that is available as well, visit a Hong Kong boutique near you!

>>15945707
Honestly, I respect JLC making relatively affordable steel models, but the external finishing on their entry level MUT line models is unacceptably soft. They need to fix that. It's not the 90s anymore, hell, even Omega's have decent external finishing these days (unlike 10 years ago).

>>15945822
We don't need autists like you sullying the brand. Thank you for your service.

>>15945805
This. Safe watches are largely uninteresting and I imagine their owners find them as interesting as a jar of mayonnaise. If someone's not shitting on your watch then it's an uninteresting turd, trying to please everyone results in mediocrity and boredom.

>>15945793
The sinn is an excellent choice
You should also consider the damasko ds30 or dk30

You should aslo look at the Archimede 1950-2 , the outdoor 39 protect , and the pilot 36

>>15945851
Ouch. Short of lurking in secondhand trading spots and getting lucky, probably worth looking at something else. That or if the SARB033 will make you exceptionally happy, it's just money.

>>15945707
Black dial is nicer as it has the gold moon for contrast

>>15945851
seiko has abandoned you
but orient star classic fills in at the $350 gap
its even better

>>15945902
Do they use sapphire as opposed to the mineral crystals found on most of the standard Orient line? I think if they tweaked a few things here and there, even if they have to bump up pricing by $50-$100, Orient and Orient Star could have a solid grip on the budget market.

Square pill month two

>>15945947

>>15945921
still mineral crystal for these
but some like this orient star carbon fibre is sapphire at $500, and the same mirrorlike sharp polishing you'd expect for $1000 seikos

>Orient and Orient Star could have a solid grip on the budget market.
they already do

Same. I mean the Islander seems nice def better specs but I'm not sure if it has the same finishing as the sarb. I have the sarb035 and I kinda want the a black dial instead since it goes better on a sportier watch. I already have a white face dress watch.

>>15945694

Ok /wt/, let's try something new.

>TEMPLATE

>>15945953
Orient is cool but you realize it's owned by Seiko right? It's just a sub-brand at this point.

>>15945971
>Under the Seiko Group are diverse companies, including Seiko Holdings, which in turn, owns the Seiko Watch Corporation that, obviously, makes Seiko branded watches. Orient is owned by Seiko Epson Corp., also under the larger Seiko Group, but quite distinct from the company that owns Seiko Watch Corporation. I believe that some watch lovers have tended to think that Orient was a subsidiary of Seiko Watches or even a sub-brand in some sense, when in fact, they are probably more distant than that.

>>15945968
whats high comp?

>>15945867
i like it a lot, going to get it

>>15945973
To add a bit more detail to this, Orient are owned by Seiko Epson, but are not at all integrated with Seiko Epson's own watch operations, nor with the watch operations of Seiko Instruments International. Orient operates entirely separately from Seiko's watch manufacturing operations, even though Seiko Epson owns it.

Also, in terms of Seiko watchmaking, Seiko Epson makes only quartz and spring drive Seiko, Grand Seiko and Credor models in its watch operations. All mechanical Seikos, Grand Seikos and Credors are manufactured by Seiko Instruments Inc.

>>15945973
To add a bit more detail to this, even though Orient are owned by Seiko Epson they are not at all integrated into Seiko Epson or Seiko Instruments Inc.'s watch manufacturing operations. They share no staff, parts, movements, manufacturing facilities or anything else.

Based Meihualu anon if you're still here. I haven't been checking these threads but finally thought to do an archive search. Glad you got your watch safely. Looking again your case is actually different than the ugly one mine came with and it looks not too bad. This pic is after I swapped it into the same case as the WUS example. The caseback should open with a regular caseback wrench around the polygonal edges, although the ball might work too. Movement isn't really worth servicing if it works fine, or buy some other cheap tongji movements/watches to swap over. I don't know that the age of collecting VCMs is over because you never hear about them, especially given the demanding process as you mention, so they'll probably continue to slowly be listed, meanwhile my other expertise in Soviets is a fucking expensive competitive mess these days.

Holy spicy butthurt.
At least VC doesn't "toss out its integrity" to make gaudy oversized diamond-encrusted trash for all cash rapper buyers.
These Chinese zodiac editions are limited and boutique-only. If nothing else, the Chinese zodiac is a nice platform to show off the skill of the in-house sculptors.

Next you're gonna say VC is pandering to all-cash Papuan buyers with this "les masques" version.

Making gaudy shit for tasteless new money chinks is the opposite of integrity. It's just as bad as the diamond encrusted Rolexes they make for shiekhs except nobody pretends that Rolex has integrity.

I'm new to watches, what constitutes a "field" watch?

>>15946395
A watch that is worn in the field

>>15946395
The dial pretty much. The 24h time lay out. Other than that there isn't anything particular. In times gone past they were typically small watches, handwinding, somewhat water proof and typically on some kind of strap

>>15946395
a simple rugged 3 handed watch meant to be worn in the outdoors/battlefield, with big, easy to read arabic numerals. 24 hr military markings are usually present as well, along with some lume (but usually not as strong as divers'). Traditional field watches are also on the smaller side so as not to get in the way of anything. A dull/matte/brushed finish on the case is preferred, along with usable water resist.

the only true *must have* is the big numerals.

Anyone know how difficult it is to regulate tuning fork movements? This is running 10 seconds/day fast and I’d like it to be more accurate if it’s easy.

>>15946395
>wear field watch
>fall in river
>watch breaks
>field watches

>>15945849
both gorgeous

>>15945707
>If you don’t like them
It's not that I don't like them, I just have no reason to want one other than how it looks.

>>15946446
Indeed

>>15945849
Personally I'm more attracted to the Loreir, and will very likely be buying the black one with the gilt dial very shortly.

>>15946462
This design + proportions with a 6 o'clock date window would be perfect. Shame about the lorier.

>>15946159
yes im still here. Since then Ive noticed some differences in the dial of mine vs yours and others. In mine the plum blossoms stop short of the indices, but in yours and others they extend all the way to the edges. Im not sure if this is a later print or a variant, it doesnt look like a new redial unlike the shanghai peacock ones (hopefully). The exact placement of the embossing and logo is the same and there is some age on the dial. Not sure if you have any idea about why its like that.
The case i got is almost like new but with some very minor scuffs. Im okay/happy with it.
For the movement I had succeeded in opening it with a 3 prong opener, it is a standard tongji. It is visually very clean but i think it needs some lube/cleaning, the movement does not start up immediately upon winding, but takes a few winds and a ~30 sec delay. Yea it would be more economically sound to just replace the movement but idk, i might service it if able. And yes its very painful to wind and im still waiting for the winder.

which soviets are you looking at?

>>15946469
>date window
NO!

>>15946469
I could go either way on a date but the sunburst dial on this is pretty dope. It may take away from that.

>>15946432
I wouldn't try doing it myself to be honest. Try and find a watchmaker that works specifically on tuning fork (or other electric) watches.

>>15946191
this is a cheapo recommendation but this has really worked out for me (i have the aviator version). Its just nice for what it is, leather is soft but not too soft, it doesnt scruff and it looks good.

So...what watch are you buying when Link hits $1000?

>>15946711
Probably the Overseas.
Best of all worlds.

- It has nice hand finishing (Geneva Seal) kinda like independents, but it's one of the holy trinity so it has tons of historical heritage that independents don't have.

- It's also a Genta-esque watch so it'll suit my thicc arms, but it's not an RO so it flies under the radar with the nouveau riche plebs (and it doesn't look quite as gaudy as an RO among non-rich normies).

- And on top of that, it comes with three quick-change straps (bracelet, leather, rubber) so it suits any occasion.

>>15945801
Is that the Chinese flieger people have been talking about for the last couple weeks? Looks surprisingly decent.

>>15946726
>Chinese flieger

The accepted nomenclature is "Chinieger".
Please keep this in mind.

>>15946726
the stats-value are insane for that watch, i might have bought it if i didnt already have a flieger
brushed case,300WR, real heat blued hands,nh35,sapphire, BGW9 lume, even a metal spacer inside all for $99
the size is at 42mm

Chinese bootlegs have gotten really good in the past 5 years or so because of the higher quality and standardization of industrial machining.
And 90% of the Swiss brands are getting their shit made in China anyway. Which makes you wonder what you're really paying for.

>>15946721
Very cool.
For me it's the A.Lange & Sohne 1815 flyback chronograph. I'm also interested in the PP Nautilus, even if that might be a bit cliche now.

>>15945801
What's the lug to lug? I'm getting conflicting distances. And can you post a wrist shot with what size your wrist is? I really want to get this but I think it might be a touch too big for me.

>>15946730
Noted.

>>15946735
That is a lot of watch for the money. Will keep it on my radar if I ever get a wild flieger hair up my ass one day.

>>15946745
Not him but a flieger is one of the few watches it's okay to be oversized on your wrist. Given the original designs were over 50mm to fit over flight jackets and be highly visible, a 42mm flieger that is a little too large for a wristlet still comes off okay, it's part of the aesthetic. That's why a lot of fliegers and aviation watches in general run in the 44-46mm range even in the present day.

post watches that have been BLACKED

>>15946745
Big, a fliegers entire purpose is to be easy to read in all conditions, say while in a vibrating airplane over enemy territory. So bigger is better for that application.

>>15946744
I love the movement, but the size and format make it not suitable as a daily for me.

>>15946745
im guesstimating it at 52mm L2L
the lug width is 20mm
lugs sticks out approx 1/4 the lug width
so 20/4 x2 + 42 = 52

>>15946138
All the case edges and the edges of the indices show obvious signs of being rounded over by being polished with a high speed buffing wheel, all the polished surfaces on the case also have the obvious surface rounding that comes from that type of polishing. When people talk about vintage watches being polished they way they refer to it as "lozenging".

It makes the cases and indices on JLC's entry level models look a bit cheap and meh compared to the quality of their movements and designs. Today most well made watches in the $5k plus range are using lapidary type polishing which creates much less rounding over of polished surfaces and cases, but it slower and more labour and skill intensive.

I think JLC themselves realize this, as the newly updated Master Control line is noticeably improved in this area compared to older Master Control models, so I assume they will eventually do the same to the MUT line.

Vacheron is probably the only one of the big 3 that is still respectable since AP is a one watch brand where the watch is ugly and PP is a 2 watch brand desperately trying to shake off how they are now known for selling a watch that rappers buy so they can make it alternatingly BLACKED or iced out beyond recognition

That's because you're poor

>>15946726

>>15946745
Haven't measured it, it's reasonable lug-to-lug distance for a 42mm watch. I'm a certified wristlet at ~6.75" and while it's big I tend to agree with >>15946763 regarding fliegers and aviation watches in general.

Citizen chronomasters have great specs. Even if I didn't care too much about the accuracy, the perpetual calendar features and case hardening appeal to me. And yet, 2k feels like too much to spend on a watch with a design that doesn't fill me with desire.

>>15946844
This is absolutely adorable

>>15946991
Cool. I love the EcoZilla designs

>>15946826
Thanks for the info. I guess a flieger is the only watch that is allowed to look too big for the wearer since that's how they should look.
I'm ridiculously tempted and it's a very cheap watch, I've wanted a flieger for a while, but damn if I haven't sworn off buying anything until I've saved up enough to a get a Grand Seiko SBGX261.

>>15946844
A CUTE!

>>15946870
It's the stuff of nightmares.

What watches does the “urban” market like? Aka looking to avoid looking like I’m “urban”

Order from Russia came in

The plan is to put the dial/movement of the amphibia into the small centre case, and put on custom hands and custom bezel.

But I must say, stock amphibian looks great

>>15947146

>>15947127
If you have a flieger craving you just can't shake and do not need something extremely high quality, at $99 it's a no-brainer in my book. Cheap enough that it won't put a major dent in any savings you have been accumulating for your GS grail. SBGX261 is a fantastic looking watch, I settled on it's lesser SARX brother.

>>15947152

>>15947144
>What watches does the “urban” market like? Aka looking to avoid looking like I’m “urban”

>>15947127
it also has F R E E shipping

>>15947153
Yeah, as a flieger it pretty much ticks all of the boxes (except for being automatic but that's being picky), and I'm getting major FOMO vibes with it because it seems to be getting popular which can only mean a price increase or it being sold out.
Yeah, I love the SARX line but they were always a little too big for my puny wrists. I've got a SARB but I'll be selling it to partly pay for the SBGX261.

>>15947019
The term is broad arrow and the royal navy have issued 300m eco drive divers but appear not to be standard issue.

>>15946470
Your watch may be newer because the embossing seems like an improvement. You can always give the watch a gentle but firm flick through the air to get the balance wheel moving from the forces.

I am after some various rare Soviet models but most recently I've seen two 17j Sturmanskies go for $1500 and $1200 which used to be in the several hundred range at most. Pic related my 15j.

>>15947173
That's my only complaint about the SARX. As a wristlet the 40mm is too large for a dress watch but I like it so much I'm making an exception. Still tucks under a cuff well and does not look comically large at least. At 36-38mm it would have perfect.

>>15947146
Man I love the stock amphibia. and the 42 case is a great look

>>15946426
i like the design but its too thick and the strap is only 16mm if im not mistaken

>>15947240
>too thick
What's the thickness on that case?

>>15946426
Accurate. Basically a shrunken aviator with the only main focus being durability and legibility.

>>15947192
Yeah, I always loved the now discontinued SARX015 but the size just made in a no go for me. The SGBX is 37mm which in theory is perfect for me.

>>15947245
i think its about 18mm, idk jomw has a vid on the marathon it wears weird
also not water resistant

>>15947146
Welcome to the club, тoвapищ

guys I love dress watches but for my job any clothes more elegant than a hoodie and jeans would be out of place and uncomfortable. What do I do?

>>15947271
Since it's Russia shutter day, let me showcase my Vostok. Considering the colour of the dial, I'm thinking about getting the flat bezel, but man, the timing dial is so practical irl.

>>15947286
in the old days laborers wore watches that would be considered dress watches today

>>15947286
Get a field watch with a nice leather band. Best of both worlds

>>15947286
embrace the watch autism and wear delicate dressy moonphases with jeans and a hoodie

or choose pseudo-dressy tool watches

>>15946340
>puppy love/girl next door
>babyG
I bought a baby g for my niece this last Christmas, what does this mean??

>>15947270
>18mm
Really? It doesn't look that thick in pictures. 13mm is about where I cap thickness on any watch and that is getting pretty thick itself.

Please suggest a watch:
- Square case, square watch face
- Sapphire crystal
- Quartz or auto
- Available new
- Below 600$

>>15947286
Plenty of hybrid watches out there that blur the line between sport, dress and field. >>15947305 makes a solid recommendation, otherwise plenty of Citizen, Seiko and other brands with dressy looking sport watches on metal bracelets.

>>15946262
OP here. There are no strict rules. Just put whatever you want in any of the boxes. You can put the same watch in two or more boxes if you want.

>>15947335
>>15947270
nah, marathon says 11cm but teddy measured it at 12.6. So that probably including the box acrylic
the case is extremely simple, no curves no bevelling. It doesnt even have springbars, it is like a f91w--just push pins

ok bezel next

>>15947367
That sounds more like it. No way that watch was 18mm just from pictures alone. 12.6mm thickness is plenty acceptable for a durable field watch.

>>15947367
yeah with the box acrylic it makes it a short and stout boy
not a fan of how it looks on wrist with the tiny strap

>>15946262
Don't pay attention to classes and the outdated rules that many of the dorks around here try to enforce. Times have changed, times will continue to change. The only rule to follow is that you enjoy what you have on your wrist. Let the autists screech about dress codes and diameter limits.
>Like what if I want to wear my pilot as a field watch?
99.99% of people with aviator watches will never pilot an airplane. 99.99% of people with dive watches will never dive on oxygen. They are just styles to be enjoyed by whoever the fuck enjoys them. Don't let the autistic watch vampires turn you into one of them.

>>15947401
Don't forget wrist autists too.

>>15947336
>Below 600$
if you are okay with homages there is a FEICE nomos tetra homage
34mm (which is great, square watches wear big and a 34mm square will look like a 38mm round)
sapphire
seagull st1731 auto
$160

otherwise there is not much choice for a square with sapphire under $600. All the rest i can think of like the Seiko Recraft or those casio squares use mineral glass. Square watches are not popular currently.
There is another one with sapphire and under $600-- the EMG Horizon. But this is from a very micro-microbrand and the very last of it sold like 4 months ago.

or you can just buy the certina ds podium off ebay. Some are listed as new, find a good seller with good %

>>15946991
Nice beyblade

>>15947336
>>15947419
ok, geckota has some cushions. Not a true square but quite nice looking. Domed sapphire

the xiaomi ciga design skeleton is a rounded square, also sapphire

>>15947401
>missing the point
there is no point to the minigame if you can just put the same watch in every square. template games force the user to choose, which is the fun part.

>>15947419
>>15947451
Thank you for the reply. Not what I wanted to hear but what I was afraid was the truth.

Funny, I have been eyeing the geckota g-01 as a half square-half panerai-esque alternative. If I go that route I will post pictures. Thanks.

This is a very nice watch I wanted to buy one too but I always hesitate.

On Drop there is this other watch though, the Bertucci brand field watches are they good or should I just go for the Timex, or are they the same thing?

>>15947752
it hasn't arrived yet i'm guessing?
if you don't end up liking it, you can always sell it
or just return it if you didn't buy it grey market

>>15947746
Casios will always be recommended. But I always think that they aren't different enough... I know its stupid. But then I look at Swatch some people can live with their fashion designs and colours but I just want a "normal" watch I.E: arabic numerals and 3 hands. which would be the basic Swatch model which doesn't have lume (I think) which makes me go back to watch models that have lume which are Timex and that Bertucci field watch. And ofcourse Seiko which has great lume.

>>15947746
It does, enjoy anon

>>15947762
i ordered it and went retard on the unpackaging process so I can't return it.

>>15947911
These are so based.

>>15947872
who's he?

>>15946877
consider an SNK809. flieger dial, field case size, well within your price range. the only things that really miss your requirements are that it's 37 mm, not 36, and the WR is 30 m, not 100.

>>15947903
The inherent fragilness of digital puts me off serious collecting of them. Electronics eventually go bad with time and I would be worried about sourcing replacement parts 10 years down the track. It isn't like someone can whip them up on a lathe like with a mechanical. I just bought my first stocks last week

What you think about Bernhardt?

What's the best Pilot watch under $10,000?

>>15947955
>>15946943
I don't recommend the SNK80x's any longer. It was fair at ~$70, but the nonexistent power reserve and dated movement doesn't make it worth ~$120.
If the chink pilots are too big for you, look into the Citizen field counterparts.

wish they made an up-market version of a vostok amphibia. like similair design cues but in much better finishing
pic barely related, dive watch with scuba dude which isn't vostok

>>15948060
What's wrong with vostok finishing? They're just polished instead of brushed like modern designs.

>>15948062
nothing wrong with it. just like how you have a seiko 5 and a presage. that kind of deal.

>>15948020
There isn't a single pilots watch on the market more expensive than a Damasko or a Sinn that justifies its price. I don't anyone even makes a pilots watch with a free sprung balance aside from Damasko (and those models appear to be temporarily discontinued).

Youre completely wrong. Computers from the 40s are still running today, and many of the earliest microprocessors are still functional as long as they havent been physically damaged.

Electronics dont degrade noticibly with use, except exceptionally complex processors running under constantly high temperatures, like graphics cards.

I would trust a f91 to outlast a rolex any day in terms or accurate timekeeping if servicing only involved cleaning and replacing non-proprietary parts (battery/mainspring)

Not him but maybe a used Seiko fits the bill. All of their currnent gen stuff will be over your proposed budget. Have you seen long islan watch's new "islanded" dress watch? Checks pretty much all your boxes.

Found this shitty gold Citizen on eBay for $25
Polished the face and shined it up and it actually looks good now but should I swap the band for black leather to make it a dress watch? I literally can’t think of an occasion where I could wear a gold watch outside a formal event and aren’t gold bands an ultra pleb-move?
Or am I just overthinking this shit like a faggot?

>>15948346
Trashpilled. I like your outlook.

>>15948350
There's really no difference between gold band and bracelet on a gold plated over steel shitter. Go ahead and ball out with the bracelet, I think it will grow on you.

There are at least a few:

Damasko DC80
Breitling's B01 models are often ugly, but the B01 movement is excellent.
The new moonwatch is overpriced, but at least it's a free sprung balance in a sub $6k chronograph.
Hell, you can probably get a Zenith El Primero 38mm for under $6k with a dealer discount.

With the meme of having skelotonized watches, Mille still are pretty damn cool and surprisingly legible.

What are some other watches that do the skelotonized look right?

beep boop robowatch

Fug my straps are taking awhile to arrive

Is the casio g-shock GMW5000B /fa/ or a shitter? It's the first ever all metal one (potentially collectable value) and looks dope but $500 is a lot to ask for a digital.

Gorgeous dial, ref?

>>15948615
I cannoit look at this dial without thinking it looks like a car wheel.

>>15948590
i have one and i love it. it's clearly made using CNC, so the lines on the case are a lot sharper than the molded plastic square g-shocks. something to keep in mind is that the lug-to-lug length is a little longer than a normal square g-shock, so if the plastic ones barely fit you then the GMWB5000 might be too big. but yeah definitely get the stainless steel one unless you want to really commit to a gaudy yellow gold look.

>>15948060

>>15948027
Is the complaining about the 7S26 power reserve a new meme? It's suddenly around constantly in recent threads, and I have a hard time believing people have noticed it now, and not during the 20+ years the movement was actually in production.
My SNK807 runs a good 40 hours after wearing it for a few days. If yours doesn't, you apparently don't move your hand much or your auto winding has problems. I've knocked mine on something a few times so that the rotor starts rubbing against the caseback, and of course it won't wind then but it's easy to fix.
The mainspring and gear train of the 7S is the same as 4R as far as I know, yet people claim the 7S has a poor power reserve but 4R does not. Doesn't make sense unless it's a winding problem.

>>15948820
gyno

>>15948841
Not him, it's been discussed for a long time, I also suspect it's usually winding related. Maybe the accuracy goes to shit a little faster IDK.
