It's called gold cap, actually. It's a much thicker layer of gold, you can see in this photo how it's a visibly thick layer. But yeah, I guess I should throw my grandfather's watch in the trash because someone on the internet is angry about it. You seem upset.

What's your opinion on this

>>12612465
It's pretty plain for my taste and I hope it's no more than like 40mm diameter at the most because that watch design is going to wear like a dinner plate strapped to your wrist. But it looks pretty respectable and Timex is probably the best option at that price range and their chronos especially are a pretty good value. If you like it, go for it. I'm not usually a huge fan of meme straps, but there's a style of nylon straps called Perlon which I think would look pretty nice on that watch if you want to add a little color to it.

>>12612465
If you don't have $3,000 to buy an automatic version of what this is ripping off, then I agree with the anon above me, get it. I'm also not a fan of the strap, but that's an easy fix.

Too big and the rose gold is a little questionable, but it's less tacky than most TAGs. There was that whole shitshow about TAG pretending the cal. 1887 was their own invention when it's really a Seiko movement, but at least it's a good movement.

Hey looking for my first watch. I kind of know the difference between Automatic, Kinetic, and Quartz. I'm tempted by the automatic Seiko's you guys recommended. I'm looking at some on ebay (only approved buyers with more than 1000 reviews)

>how much would it cost to repair a automatic seiko? how much to repair a kinetic? how durable are these watches?

>>12614534
What kind of automatic Seiko, if you're looking at the cheapest Seiko 5 models then you should just buy new because they're basically disposable. Servicing would easily cost way more than the watch is worth, you could even just throw out the old movement and drop in a new one when the time comes if for some reason you really want to keep the watch. Those 7S movements are dirt cheap.

As for kinetic and solar quartz, the solar ones are generally considered more durable and I think Seiko is phasing out kinetic slowly because it really has no advantages over solar. Regular battery-powered quartz is fine too though. Personally I don't see much advantage in solar over battery power, you only need to replace the battery every couple of years and it's not a big hassle.

I don't know the full name of the watch but it says the model # is SNKM83K1S. The one im looking at is like half off on e-bay preowned. But I can return it in 14 days if I don't want it.

I like this one without the metal links. Can I change that to leather or some other material straps whenever I want on most Seiko watches? because I see the brand new version of this watch is metal links.

Seriously there is no reason why you should buy a watch this cheap used. The previous owner will not have taken care of it, they're okay watches but they're not exactly heirloom pieces to pass down or buy and sell.

You can change bracelets with a springbar tool, they're really cheap and it's easy to do. Look up the width of the lugs and any strap of that width that you like will fit.

>>12618786

I wear it tight to stretch out the leather. I'm in-between two holes unfortunately.

It's not 'weird' as much as it is wrong. I'm sure there are people who like it but the watch will move around as you move your arm and it might be uncomfortable to bend your hand if the crown digs into the back of the hand.

So poorboy here, I can't afford anything over 100$, I don't want to look rich I just want a watch with a cool dial color, probably replace the band with light or dark leather ones.

Among these choices which one do you like the most? I tried to stick to automatic, I just like how the Seikos have the clear bottom. Really the green dial is playing it safe since it looks the newest, but I'm really stuck on the gold dial with the 12 and 6 or the pink dial for flair.

This watch only has to last me a year or 6 months without a repair and ill probably just end up buying a better one. I don't do any hardcore sports or work with the watch on, its strictly for going out.

that one looks shitty imo. You should give an actual price cap because the quality/style of watch you can get differs from 100$ to say 160$.

Orient has some good looking ones like the Bambino.

>>12620216
I found it on ebay, just search Pink Dial Orient. Theres only like 20-30 results, ALSO there was this champagne colored one with roman numerals it was nice. Thanks yeah i'll probably get the pink one going for more of that heading to Los Vegas Fear and Loathing look. (no heavily patterned dress up shirts though).

That one isn't nearly as bad, but what is even the point of the Air King at all besides being a cross between the Explorer and Datejust which is shittier and uglier than either of those?

>>12620017
Not really. There's way too many to choose from and hopefully if you're looking to drop thousands of dollars on a watch then you don't need 4chan to tell you what to buy because you're probably interested enough in watches to know what's good and what your tastes are. Even the poorfag guide hasn't been updated in a while, I think there's some questionable recommendations on there in my opinion.

>>12620017
Just get a rolex or an omega

>>12620211
I'll sell you a Rodina for $100 including shipping.
Even if you don't buy mine, that is one of the better automatic 'minimalist' watches in the price range. If you bumped up the price a little more, a couple of the Bambino variations could fit the bill.

This is true with one exception: Seiko. No other brand is worth considering in the lower end unless you're some autistic who wants a Casio.

FWIW I own one of those autistic watches because I'm a medfag and don't want blood on a good watch.

You're right but Seiko is old and respectable enough to get away with it IMO. I have a couple high end watches and a dirt cheap SKX and recognize the merit of a beater Seiko, even if it does look like a Submariner if you're slightly blind.

That shits hideous. Get a Seiko 5 or a Tri-Star Orient. They run from only 60-100$ and they are automatic so if someone tells you your watch is ugly you can sperg on them and tell them atleast yours is mechanical.

Also ignore people who tell you to only get expensive watches, what do they know they probably only hang out with snobs that care about dumb shit like that. IMO just buy something that is slightly above your pay grade, something that will impress friends not these 40 year old faggots with pensions to spend.

>Also ignore people who tell you to only get expensive watches, what do they know they probably only hang out with snobs that care about dumb shit like that.

As I probably own the most expensive watch collection in this thread, I can say that this is absolutely true. Literally no one in the real world cares about your watch, except if it's some gaudy piece of shit that would be ugly no matter what it cost.

>>12620670
I've had it since 2004 or so, so I don't think that exact bracelet is going to show up online.

>>12622338
This is fairly true.

I've only ever had arrogant middle aged men comment on my nicer watches. Usually just asking how I could afford one. One even tried to explain how the bezel worked as a timer. He ignored me when I said I understood how it worked and went on to explain it anyway. Well there was one older dude I worked with, but he just liked watches and had next to no knowledge about movements or houses.

I would also like to note my "expensive" watches are only ~$1k autos, nothing that impressive.

then what about this one

I really like the flight watch look but can't afford to drop 2k+ on a watch. Any recommendations around $300 range?

Ty. Here is why I ask. I love my new watch, but the strap is too tight, but if I loosen it by one notch, it then becomes too loose and goes all over the fucking place. Despite that, the tail of the strap is a little hidden by the strap holders if loosened.

The way I have it in this pic, it looks nicer, but is tighter. And the tail is normal (it is a little shown, idk if you even know what I mean by tail, I can post another pic I suppose)

So unless I wear it incorrectly (the way I believe to be weird, which deep down, I know is not the right way to wear a watch) it is either too tight or too loose.

Here. This is what I mean by the "tail". See how it sticks out just a wee bit? It's too tight. And if I loosen it by one notch, it is too loose, and the tail will not show which ocassionally has the second strap holder move around.

I need to go back to the watch shop and trade in the strap for a different one I suppose.

Recommend me an essential watch for a man that I could wear everyday.
Looking to spend around 200

>>12623501
Everyone and their dog should have a Seiko SKX. Dive watches are the essential watch and those ones are ones you can go 15+ years without a service. The only difference between the models is the colour and hour markers.

I'm not looking for a watch that's any good. I know nothing about them, and I'm not gonna hang out with people who know anything about watches either, and being both a college student with no job since last summer, and being a third worlder, my budget is pretty small. So from a pure aesthetic standpoint, which of these should I get?

You know, after owning this Omega in a professional setting for 15 years, you're the first person who ever criticised it

It's the 2002 Michael Schumacher Speedmaster racing. It's a carbon fiber dial and has the checkered flag as a homage to Grand Prix racing. One of the more unique Speedmasters, and it was carbon fiber before carbon fiber was cool

I appreciate your opinion though

>>12630046
Probably noone is asshole enough to criticize it outside of malaisian anonymous papercraft board :^)
I just find design too cheap compared to omega standards

>>12630061
True, however when I owned my gold Rolex my coworkers gave me so much shit.

I appreciate your honesty and I definitely see your point. However if you ever get a chance check one out. It's real carbon fiber dial and everything is very high quality, Omega standards.

It does seem a bit "cheaper", but it honestly is more of a niche watch for the owner to enjoy, less of a fashion item.

>>12630046
2000 and 2001 are better imo. Still cool because it's a Schumi but it's not as cool as it's 2 oldest brothers. The Schumi legend one is cool on the same way, neat because if what it is but not as cool as the older ones.

Have you not seen all the special editions with Snoopy on the dial and shit? Anyways, my real issue with all the automatic Speedmasters is that the layout of three horizontal subdials closely spaced together is what really makes the classic Speedmaster. All the automatic movements have huge gaps between the subdials which make the watch look like a Chinese fake, and I'm not personally a fan of having the subdials turned vertically.

Does someone know a good watch up to 500$ with a moonphase, roman numerals and gold case. Something vintage that one would see in Victorian times. Style/inspo by pic related

Frederique Constant watches give this sort of vibe but they're far too expensive

Do it! Iconic, respectable diver. Just understand what a mechanical movement is and needs before you buy.

Cool. I'm the Diani Seikosha obsessive that normally posts in /wt/. Here's my 1975 King Seiko Special 5256-8010.

Absolute garbage.
Rule #1: Only buy watches from companies that only make watches.
