Excellent so far. The case is very well built. The accuracy is pretty good so far, but I can't get the movement to hack by back winding; so I'll have to see about that. Screwed lugs are cool

What does Daniel Wellington have against second hands?

For the strangest of reasons I've always put my watch on my right wrist instead of my left (which is how a watch should be worn so the crown can be wound more easily). Both my parents were left handed but i turned out right handed and have always done things like a left handed person such as using a knife and fork as a left handed person should even though my right hand is dominant since i write and do everything else with it. I've always found it easier to put my watch on with my left hand compared to my right. I want to start wearing it correctly (on the left) but i struggle to put it on and usually find it uncomfortable. Any advice on how to get out of this strange habit? Maybe if i force myself to always wear the watch on the left wrist I'll get use to it but i honestly can't say for sure.

gold-face seiko

why Seiko?

>>52298681
Good value for money ratio basically. This extends even to the multi kilobuck tier.

>>52298767
high value watches are only worth it when they confer status like omega and rolex

nobody cares if you spent $5000 on a shitty watch unless it says rolex on it

>>52297225
I do this too, my advice to you is don't bother.
I once went a whole week trying to wear my watch on the "correct" wrist and all I managed to do is bang it everywhere because i was so used to having my watch on the other wrist.
It's really difficult to unlearn that. I also wear my belt the wrong way.

>>52297225
>(which is how a watch should be worn so the crown can be wound more easily).
nah, avoid using the crown while wearing the watch

puts unnecessary pressure on the poor crown and while not necessarily likely, it might break if you did that all the time

only really a problem with chronographs where you do want to use the pushers

>>52299250
That's really only true for normies. However a number of watchfags will agree that something like a grand seiko is on par with, or better, than a given rolex or whatever other watch in the same price bracket.

>>52299340
Even then you just use your thumb instead, it isn't any harder at all.

>>52299250
its a bit hard to say to be fair

who do you even want to impress? sure, the average joe will only know rolex, but if you're sort of above that, something else might be more interesting

>>52299400
>i want to impress watchfags

>>52299430
lets say that you're not a middle class dude saving up for a watch but rather a person for whom it is totally normal/expected to have a luxury watch

do you seriously believe that in such social circles, its all rolex? that something else can't be more interesing

>spending thousands of dollars on something not because you like it but because you want to make sure that people around you notice it and know how much you spent on it.

Get out, you have no place here.

>>52300209
Disgusting, they almost always look incredibly tacky.

>>52300166
Wow, that's the first day-date I've ever liked.

>>52300209
The only acceptable two tones are blue dial divers.

>>52300209
IMO either go hard or go home, stainless steel or yellow gold case (not plated)

>>52300229
a lot of old man love this kind of gold though...I've seen two old man wearing a completely gold watch, not sure if they are real gold or just the color. Kinda guessing they are real since those old people tend to be rich

>Homages are bad

>>52300359
Homages aren't that bad, Panerai's disgusting designs are.

>>52300209
I actually prefer them over full gold in some cases. I mostly like it on Rolex though, paricularly Datejusts, but any similar-ish dressy sporty design works.

Two-tone blue-faced submariner also works better than a full gold sub.

>>52300371
are you sure you're not just hating on panerai in general and letting your hatred affect how you perceive the designs?

I just can't see any other explanations for this overly strong madness about the designs; they're not that bad on those basic ones. some look ridiculous with those shitty date magnifiers and blah blah

>>52300378
>>52300255
Having a colored dial is not two toned.

>>52300371
PAMs are the only >42mm watch I'd wear, but fuck paying like 9 grand for an ETA.
That excludes divers by the way. The SKX and the Turtle are nice looking watches

is anyone qualified to give valuations here, maybe watchmaker?

>>52300403

nothing about dial or even bezel

Found my dad's old timex he wore in the 70s, or maybe 80s I don't know. He said it's mechanical, maybe at some point I'll get it serviced, at the least I'll just put it in a box when I buy one. Said it was cheap but I guess that goes without saying. Shitty tablet camera trying to get it so the dial is actually visible.

I don't, the strap is beat to hell and was kind of falling apart some taking it off the watch, ton of green shit melted to it. The actual watch looks ok, no numbers on it or anything though. I have never gotten a watch serviced though and have no clue what it would cost.

>>52301468
Depends on who you take it to, and how much work is required. I'd say don't be surprised if a full service of the movement costs a few hundred. Might be less, who knows.

What's this strap style called?

>>52302563
I 'borrowed' one from a retailer with a good returns policy. Controlling music / the Uber app / alerts were decently useful, but the basic models are so fucking ugly it's embarrassing.

If they had something like the old B/W Steel model's styling with a color screen and thinner I'd think about it.

It's something you have to ask, normally the POS will have options regarding the reason.

>>52302871
its horrible when those customers return the package in a horrible condition. wish I can deny those retards, but the manager will always approve it. Glad tomorrow will be my last day

>>52302650
It's made by Hadley-Roma, I think called a "Swiss Army" strap or something like that.

>>52302788
I have a feeling they just tape packages back up and resell them sometimes, but that's their problem.

I'm really liking this thing. Its big but very wieldy and the dial is super legible.
Currently testing the accuracy and power reserve. Its been running for about 12 hours now and is still accurate to the minute (didn't bother syncing seconds yet). Hopefully good signs so far

>>52303116
Yup, mostly, they tape them up. Some just throw everything in and close the package. In the only one who care enough to put it close to the original as possible, even the ones that they will return it to the vendors.

Eh.. that's pretty small. That size would be fine for a dress watch but on a diver it's going to look a bit anaemic.

For example the SKX013 is 38mm vs the more regular 42

>>52303901
Yeah, that's only 1mm less diameter than a Rolex airking. Generally around 31 has been considered "boys size" for young or small-wristed men. Women's watches are generally under 30mm

No, they're vintage luxury watches from a time when quartz was brand new and crushing the mechanical competition. The fact that they're less than $200 now just shows the ridiculous stigma plebs put on quartz, the finishing and overall quality of them are outstanding.

>>52311954
>maratac SR-1
Looks nice, but i really like the Delphin that one anon was posting the last couple of weeks. Very very similar, but it looks a little better for some odd reason.

I also got one of the Cinturini nato straps from italy for testing, i'm expecting quite a bit out of them.

>>52312013
Not that guy but I like the sterile look of the maratacs. I'm looking at the SR-3 because 40mm cases are about perfect for me

>>52312013
Hell yea, the halios delfin is definitely on my list. But yes the bezel on that and the maratac sr-1 are very similar

>>52312049
Im that guy. I really like the maratac. I bought mine like two years ago, so the sr2 and sr3 didnt exist at the time.

I really like the change they made to the second had, but i dont like the new crown they have on them. To each their own

>>52311776

but yea, im not going to go abalone diving with this thing on, i just wear it for the look

>>52312116
I'll have to keep an eye on that, maybe get another diver and wait to pick up an SR3 if they go on sale.

I do like the look and wouldn't mind wearing it for the look alone, but I don't know if I would pay full price now thst I see the WR.

I mean I could get an Orient or seiko that beats that for a fraction of the sticker price

mb in a month or so i'll get a seiko 5 or something like that,kinda new to this but i am just saying that if 33 cm looks big on you than you should fucking suicide.

There are still Jap sellers on Ebay selling them, I don't think they're fakes, but usually how fast does a limited edition of only 3000 sell out?

>>52315877
I couldn't tell you the reference number but it looks to be the Lemania 5100 speedmaster.

>>52315877
Looks to be a speedmaster mkII but I'm not 100% on that.

I don't know every omega reference like a lot of people might

>>52313892
I have it. It's really nice. 10/10 desu

>>52315417
That middle one is my goat watch, can anyone help me find it?

Seiko King Quartz 0852-8025

>>52315916
Thanks anon

>>52315993
Thanks, but sadly I only saw one on epay that was in rough condition, any one know where to request one?

>>52314371
I liked things before they were cool too

>>52315896
I'm not sure, I was at Bic Camera in Nagoya last week and they had both models, said nothing about a limited edition, just "new release"


Prices I think were 32,000 for the silver and 36,000 for the PVD one

You just have to do it like the rest of us did, wait for a nice one to get put up for sale. The vintage game requires patience, you have to learn to deal with it. I have over 20 followed searches on ebay for watches, just check every day and maybe you'll find something else cool.

Strange, I heard it was 3000 only and Jewtube reviewers like the Urban Gentile have one with a something/3000 on the caseback.

Skip the entire first half of the video where he rambles on about a movie everyone has already seen and knows everything about.

>>52316340
It's possible nobody cares here; salarymen only want watches that look exactly the same as other salarymen's watches. Next time I'm down there if it's still in stock I'll ask to see it more closely.

>>52316296
M8 you think I should buy it? What did you pay? Im pretty handy with case modification and I can get it almost to original new look, but so Im not overpaying... Its 160$ shipped

>>52316330

Perfect, I need more gums on my phone.

>>52316372
Could it be that the demand was so high from all the nerd around the world, that after the initial 3000 sold out Seiko just said fuck it and decided to make more?

>>52316152
3000 isn't really a particularly small number of watches of this kind really. Especially JDM only (yes there may be a lot of japs but its not like everyone is a watchfag + a fan of alien, it looks weird and isn't exactly cheap enough to buy unless you want it in particular)

its limited in the "they won't make more" sense, not in the "these will be on sale for 15 minutes and after that you won't find one ever". there are indeed samples in ebay for sale

>subtle
Well it's certainly not a Queen Quartz

>>52316329
Because everyone wants muh Swiss and muh mechanical now and I guess grammar of design styling isn't cool anymore. I like all those sharp edged 70s Seikos and similar looking stuff like the Rolex Oysterquartz and Patek Nautilus and stuff.

I highly recommend. After a lot of research and auction watching.

There are fakes, conversions, originals with new parts...I could go on. Depends what you're looking for.
Most of these issues are with Spaceviews, other 214s are much easier to buy. There are even speciallly made third party batteries made for them, but that's a debate in itself.

Mine keeps great time, but be ready to spend a lot on a service eventually, even if you buy a working one, the chances that it stops is pretty high. It's an old watch, intricately made.
Parts are rare and the few people who know how to fix them are pricey and probably no where near you.

Just make sure you know what you're getting into. I love mine, it's my favorite watch in my whole collection.

Ayyeeee

Penis Quartz

Should I off spent $50 more and got one without a damaged dial? Only time will tell

>>52316385
How, polishing it? You'll ruin all the sharp edges probably. I paid like $200 but I guess I probably overpaid. I would wait until something better comes up, there's lots of those watches around.

>>52316554
Yes, I have done it before and I can do sharp edges due to tools I have, I have no worries about my hands, the only parts is the cross hatched case part which is impossible (but can be "descratched")

>>52316586
Well if you go for it I'd be interested in seeing how you do it and how it comes out.

Yes, joining the penis squad. Probably will flip it and sell it for way more if I don't fall in love with it irl.

Yeah I'll post it when I'm done, gonna take a couple of weeks though.

>>52316818
Paper dial looks absolutely stunning, very nice, my shipping took quite awhile

>>52313892

>peeing on your own arm just to get a good shot
fair enough

>>52317259
Sorry anon but I'll post it here for sale first after I'm done restoring it and IF I don't want to keep it. Highly doubt that since I need an respectable dress watch in my collection
>>52316976
Yeah, it was an easey choice, there is just so much more complication in its execution compared to the other ones, the batons, the dial etc.

They always go for a high price on eBay auctions. Although not a stunning, the other king Quartz or even just standard vintage seikos offer great value for money. Here are some of my old mans old seikos he bought when he was a kid of about my age

Brb, just going to hang myself

>>52317395
Nice to know it will go up a lot in value.

Looks neat though, always like gold watches but I got that autism so couldn't wear one unless full gold and I prefer bracelets so it would be crazily expensive....

Hamilton guy reporting in! It still runs perfect.

>>52297225
Also i wear my watches on my right wrist too. I get asked why i wear it on my right wrist a decent amount but i just say it's more comfortable compared to my left wrist. Either way no one really gives a shit which wrist, it's the watch people give more of a shit about.

>>52317468
Also sorry for retarded image being upside down because of my shitty phone.

>>52317468
I'm going to proceed on the assumption you were lying and wear it on the left, only upside down.
