Is there anything that kind of looks like weekender or Seiko 5, is hand wound, and doesn't lose ten minutes a day?

re-reposting:

looking for a nice tritium analog watch, quartz movement, not necessarily 'diver' style (huge large bezel, etc). not expensive either <$600. tritium in hands is a must, tritium 12, 3, 6, 9 dial would be nice.

extra points for stuff like stopwatch, solar recharge, atomic timekeeping etc, but i havent found anything like it so not keeping my hopes up.

Opinions?

>>44114032

They're worth it I think. I got an HMT Janata, same movement but different face style, a few weeks ago for $25. Really great simple mechanical watch. It takes about a week for it to lose a full minute, or ~9 seconds a day +/-, I haven't done much in the way of rigorous accuracy testing.

Should I get a pebble steel /g/? How is the battery life after daily use over a couple of months?

Not sure what model this is or much anything about it as I got it as a gift about 10 years ago. Some sort of eco-drive anyway.

It's been the best watch I've had though, while not exactly beautiful it's been working flawlessly through everyday use and seen water, sauna, dust, drops and all other sort of abuse. Glass is still scratch free and hasn't dropped a second as far as I know (kind of to be expected though?).

I've got one, and I'd say it's worth the price. There's nothing overly standout about it, but it's a rather nice size. If they did away with the rotor on the back and made it a handwind only it might have been nicer just to get it a little thinner, as it does stand relatively tall compared to the counterparts it's based off of. The white dial that it now comes with is really bland. It apparently used to come with a silvery type finish on the face, but that's not the case anymore. Still, can't go wrong for the price for a bauhaus styled watch with an automatic movement.

>>44122501
Correct, it doesn't look like that one. It would appear shortly before I got mine, they started shipping out with flat white faces instead of the nice pearlescent silvery type face. I was pretty bummed about it when I first got it. The concentric circles around the seconds hand dial are there, but god damn you can't even tell. I like the fit and finish of the whole thing, but the dial is very sterile, hence my reasoning for wearing nato straps with it to add a bit of 'pop'.

>>44122580
roger that, thanks

yeah, with the flat white it does seem to look a bit too... 'spacious' or something. it would be less of an issue if it was smaller i think. especially the area at 8-10 to center and 2-4 to center.

might order a blue one, why not, it's a great price. it's really just so i can wear >muh bauhaus without worrying about losing it too much

The only cheap watch I bought on these websites is a PAM lookalike. I've been told silver turns black after a few days in watches that sell there. Would you say so?

I have the one in the pic, but with the classics sandwich dial with 6, 9 and 12 in big.

How old are you? I have very tiny wrists (15,5cm) and after a while I found that 38mm watches would wear a bit too small... I have two 40mm watches and they're just fine, only too bulky but there aren't many handwound watches around. Buy a shitty 40mm to get used to the size.

>>44125585

Man one day

>>44125728

my wrists are even a bit smaller than yours

it's ridiculous really, my hands are quite large.

thinking of buying a rodina (nomos knockoff), which are 38mm

>>44125790
I really wouldn't worry too much. I have a habit of looking at people's wrists and watches, and you'll be wearing a smaller watch than the average dude even at 38mm. Thank Fossil, Diesel, Armani and the likes for that.

>>44125458
You can measure it using a ruler.
And yeah it's 18mm.

actually this guy's chest has more muscle, I look like a fuckign 12 year old if you look at my chest and abs

fucking shit man!

FUCK!

>>44126093
Wow dude, you look skinniyer than me, and i'm 118lbs !

>>44126093
You measure where you intend to wear the watch. I measure at the thinnest part of my forearm but I would blindguess that many measure the actual wrist.

Anyway I have pectus excavatum so you don't get to whine to me.

Can someone recommend a good diver that's very cheap?

I'm talking about >50$ cheap, because taxes in Europe are huge and something that's $50 on amazon is almost $100 on amazon.co.uk.

Pic related looks great in my opinion, unfortunately I heard that it isnt produced anymore. On amazon.co.uk I didn't see anything. It has a product page but only some random YooKay seller offers it and I have to pay about 60 pounds for it. That means about $100 and then I also have to pay about 10 pounds for shipping, so that's another 15$ meaning I'd have to pay almost 120 fucking dollars for a quartz watch.

Forgot pic. Model is filename. I don't mind quartz, in fact that's a bonus for me, fuck having to wear my watch on my right hand whenever I fap just to recharge it.

>>44126165
They still sell this one, it's the older model that rare cuz it had bright light if I recall correctly.
There are probably many submariner quartz lookalikes but Casio is nicer imo, because it's a legitimate brand for quartz.

sorry for your caved in chest brah. I'm that guy, and I have scoliosis (my spine is an S and not a perfect vertical line) and back pain because of it

so about the same thing that's in some ways better and in some ways worse than what you have and for this reason I can't go to the gym and squat hundreds of kilos... don't worry man you're not alone

you might want to get checked for Marfan's, though, its common for people like me and you

do you know any similar-looking models? I don't care about the movement I just want it to look great (like the one in the pic), cost less than 50 in freedom currency and be accurate.

I'm not a fan of divers so I don't know much. But watchuseek's "affordable" section is full of, well, affordable watches. It's where I started to gather information on the hobby. Read the "what are you wearing" threads every day and you'll have a map of brands, types of watches, and prices in your head. It'll take a few weeks at least but you'll make a better decision than what I can say, I guess.

Thanks for your help. The main problem with Europe is that prices are much higher than in America and the wages are smaller. Amazon.co.uk still has decent prices, but in my country that casio would be like $200 or more.

You're welcome, but are you sure you're looking at it right? In France the Casio divers are plenty around 50€ shipped,

This any good? Got it for 300$. Also what's a great watch for 3000?

>>44126731
Interesting. Thanks again for your help. I forgot about amazon.fr and amazon.de and the others. That blue one looks great but I still like the mdv-106's look a bit more. I think you're right about the price, I recall that I wanted to buy the same model a few years ago and I recall seeing a "35" price tag, could've been euros or pounds I don't remember.

Judging from those names MTP and MTW are prefixes that they assign to diver watches, right? When I searched "casio diver" on amazon.com I didn't find those 2 so maybe that's why.

>>44126834
Amazon is bad at description... I just go to the watch category and start to select sub-categories from there. See Seiko too, they're automatics so you may or may not like them but some at not overly above your budget. Have fun. \o/

>>44126796
there are few countries in Europe who can say that so I guess you're lucky. I'd move to the USA if it weren't for their communist government and oppressive police.

I'm skinny as shit too but I get by. My wrists are 6" but I still wear 40mm watches just fine. As long as the lug to lug width is less than your wrist width and the lugs curve downward you'll be in good shape. Honestly try lurking around /fa/ so you can find some more fitting clothes for a "hungry skeleton".

Get an Orient, Seiko, Steinhart, or Vostok diver instead.

Why are people obsessed with nato straps? They look and feel like shit, and are completely unnecessary for daily use.

>>44128163

you have to open it, if you have a right tool, and you'd be able to fix it in a minute without any knowledge. probably the little teeth wheel (i don't know what it's called) slipped sideways or something.

>>44129109
RIGHT? i fucking love the style

>>44129195
Like I said above the watch is fake. The dial and probably crown is likely Chinese made. The rest of the watch might be original parts pulled from who knows where but fit together into an unoriginal ugly combination. Return it if possible, otherwise I hope you didn't spend much on it.

If you still insist there's plenty of black and red striped natos. You could maybe also try olive green, but I can't tell from the picture how well it will match. That also means you could try the "James Bond" nato strap which is black, red, and olive or gray striped.

>>44129613
Depends what broke. The temperature shift could have fucked the mainspring. If it's not obvious when you open the caseback your best bet is getting another watch to swap movements with or a new watch all together. Servicing could cost more than that.
