I have pic related (quartz) and would like an automatic. Is the SARB033 the closest looking automatic I will find? I would really like a weekday indicator (preferably in white) and it should also be around 38mm.

So I'm thinking of buying a speedy pro. I love the look of the watch and its heritage but I have 2 concerns.

>1 is the WR.
I'm the kind of guy that loves wearing my watch 24/7 and I hate the idea of a watch that I have to take off if I want to shower or swim. Seems like a stupid minor complaint but it's just how I am.

>2 not sure how winding mechanicals are

Only ever owned quartz or autos. Do they get anoying to have to wind every day or so?

Is this a fake ? look at the numbers, look painted.

>>52472445
As far as the handwinding part goes, it's just like a nice morning ritual.

Wake up, windup the watch and go on about your day, then before going to sleep wind it up a little more.

>>52472582
More like the entire thing is fake.

>>52472582
I just think it's very old, but I could be wrong.

>>52472445
Doesn't the speedmaster use its subdial for its clock seconds? I thought it's main dial was used for the chronograph seconds

>>52472031

I saw the "62 reviews" and knew dis gon be good. I was not disappointed on the reviews page.

But seriously it's shit for 100k you could have A Lange and Sohne and thus do an even bigger pretentious dick wave.

>>52472368
I haven't seen that particular watch before but it's quite nice. Basically a Bambino though, which is about the same price and I'd rather have the Orient than that.

>>52472445
>I want to buy a Speedy Pro
Whilst many here will encourage you, I simply can't. This watch is the biggest piece of overhyped, overpriced, overmarketed watch "heritage" targeted at the WIS audience ever made. End of the day, you're paying, used, minimum 2.5k for a workhorse watch with a basic fucking 17 jewel manual chrono. If you buy new, it's easily 5k or something in that range. That's robbery in my opinion. And for what? To have "heritage" and be like every other WISer? I hate to bring it up, but it is also basically a reddit/WUS watch: the plebs and richfags at r/watches and WUS can't circlejerk to this watch (or to the shit-tier company that is Omega, either) nearly enough.

As for mechanical movements it really depends on what you value. I don't find them too annoying, in fact it's part of my morning ritual to wind my watches as I wake up.

For the WR: again, for the price and intended use, it's pretty junk. You should be able to confidently swim with it but with the "50m" label I wouldn't want to take it in the pool, especially if buying vintage.
However don't let me discourage you. If you like it, purchase what you want. I'd just take my 2.5k elsewhere, for those kinds of prices I could have an actual justfuckmyshitup.jpg-proof tool chronograph (probably with an automatic movement) with ease. And still have $700 left over to buy a new-made Russian Strela, the first Chrono in space period

My preferred companies to buy from for those would be Sinn, Damasko, Muehle Glashutte (all German) or Seiko itself, probably their higher-end line with the NE88,

I was in the same boat as you a year ago, then I ultimately went for a Sinn 144 automatic which has 20bar water resistance. More peace of mind too.

is £25 good for a 1970s raketa?

>>52473055
Depends, is that 2609 and it's almost in mint condition?

>>52473055

Sounds alright. Pics? Don't believe the "recently serviced" blurb either, but if it works for a year before needing attention it ain't so bad.

I just realized, I yave no range watch but a slew of office watches.

Haven't been to the range in a year finally going tomorrow and realized I dont want to fuck up a watch.

>>52473002

Not that guy, but I think I've decided on a strela cosmos. 100m water resistance is enough for daily wear and it's a nice piece for a good price

>>52473165
>strela cosmos

Those look great, and I like the bagel-shaped pushers. I only had one "modern" 3133, an Aviator from the early 2000s and I was pleasantly surprised with its accuracy and variance relative to my early to mid 80s 3133 and derivatives.

Anything quartz and digital ought to cope on a range.

>>52473145
I'm 90% positive that watch uses a 2609 movement, which is pretty bullet proof.

No signs of water damage and the dial has that nice CCCP stamp along with correct text.

Though imo that dial is god awful, there are much nicer looking Raketas.

>>52472622
yes. 30 minute dial hour dial and the regular running seconds dial. center hand is the chrono seconds hand

>>52472677
>This watch is the biggest piece of overhyped, overpriced, overmarketed watch "heritage" targeted at the WIS audience ever made.

Show me another mechanical chronograph with a clean, perfectly proportioned, high contrast dial, recessed subdials and not a Valjoux 7750 movement for under 2.5k

It's just a perfect design. And 2.5k isn't that much when it comes to watches. IMO the Speedmaster Professional is well worth it.

>>52472622
>>52473373
yep, its a product picture though isn't it, so they won't exactly have the central chrono second hand obstructing the omega speedmaster text and logo

>>52473237
thanks, i'm just looking for something new and that i'm more okay with it being used everyday than what i'm wearing right now

also looking at a 1980s seiko 5 that looks quite nice.

Is Bulova's Precision series any good? I'm looking for a chronograph that isn't dogshit and doesn't cost four digits. I'm too sceptical about Seagull's 1963 in the long term. I think that leaves mechanicals out of my reach then.

>>52473165
I don't know where I got the 100m figure, looking at some pictures they seem to be 3atm resistant, worse than the speedy

For shame, maybe I'll hold off on a chrono or get a quartz, I don't know what I expected with non screwing pushers anyway

>>52473481
>The Seagull 1963 Militar
>b-but it's Chinese
Still a better deal, and it's well-proportioned. Also only about 400 USD, with an original design and good manual movement. And many dial options available.

More importantly, it's not over-marketed garbage. Many of the components on the Omega are made in China anyways and the movement is very basic for the price, yes despite its ubiquity the Valjoux is a better deal and movement.

Sorry, but the Speedy Pro is all marketing without much to back it up except for muh heritage and muh design, which Omega have milked into oblivion to sell to WIS.

>>52473680

Did you look at my post, then?

I wouldn't buy reissued Strelas. They may have Russian movements but I'm certain it's Chinese casing+marketing hype, that old strategy.

Buy what you want but for $2500 you'll get a much better deal with Sinn or Damasko than the Omega Speedy (and you won't be another redditor wearing a redditcore watch)

>>52473719
But it doesn't have recessed subdials. Plus the movement isn't reliable I heard.

Also who cares if it's is overmarketed. You are buying it used anyways.

>muh design

We are talking about mechanical watches here. If you really care about getting the most for your money then you would just get yourself a cheap quartz.

>>52473778
Yeah the sinn looks nice, though I'd have plenty of options at that price range, a chronograph wouldn't be my first choice to be honest.

Chronos are neat but ultimately don't speak to me like divers or other designs.

>>52473871
>find me a watch that is the Omega Speedmaster and looks exactly like it and has its design features but isn't an Omega Speedmaster
>Haha checkmate

I agree with you we're talking mechanicals, and as I said: if you like the Speedmaster, go for it. But it's still overhyped and way overpriced, even used, especially for the price. And yes, a Valjoux based mechanical chrono with interesting tech is still better than this watch.

I'll agree with you the ST19 chrono movement isn't the best, but that's a problem often of the factory: being chinkshit there's no QC of which to speak. If it was made to a decent standard most problems would evaporate.

Anyways to each his own but if I have to hear another "heritage" story about how "great" the Speedmaster is I'm gonna lose it

Acrylic is easy to mold into a thick dome shape like the crystal on that watch. Sapphire crystals have to be cut and polished from a block instead so carving out a dome rather than a thin flat crystal wastes a lot of material and is expensive.

I think plastic crystals look slightly different in person than glass or sapphire would but I'm not sure how to describe it, I guess it looks more old fashioned. It also feels warmer to the touch and doesn't really get fingerprint smudges on it. It's very soft and will inevitably get scratched, but polishing it is very easy and you can just polish it a bit every once in a while to keep it looking new.

>>52474087
Carreras suffer from the same problem. The reissue isn't so bad, one of the only good things TAG has done in years, but it doesn't stop that the vintages are fucking $8k for a domed plexi used watch that wasn't even that great to begin with.

Of course this is because watch luxury lifestyle blogs like Hodinkee are obviously in bed with many dealers and so use hype to up the price of vintage watches.

I actually quite love many vintage watches, but the price on them is ridiculous when one considers the maintenance costs for models years out of production. And when everything has to be replaced with aftermarket parts, how much is it "muh heritage vintage watch" anymore?

>>52474352
Hey there, sorry to say buddy but you'd probably do best to get a new one. Unless the sentimental value is worth it to you to get repaired, a new one for lower-end models is usually a better deal. If it's a unique or rare model then disregard.
The reason is it probably needs a service, which is expensive in our lands.

>>52475114

Price on the old one again is muh vintage heritage puting the price up. It is cool, though, to have a watch from when the entire world was busy killing each other and it's still ticking.

The 15k new reference is just Panerai being shekelmeisters, which we all knew they were especially after the Brooklyn Bridge scandal.

>>52475579
Personally I love acrylic crystals, I like the look and the durablity. Even if they scratch it can be easily fixed. If anything I'd want more, especially military-style, watches to come with plexiglass rather than sapphire. Also makes replacement easier, sapphire is pricey.

>>52475579
Well, I guess there are pros and cons to both types.

I'd have to see it for myself in a store as I mentioned.

Ordering €700 worth of watch without even looking at it in natural light through my own eyes just seems absurd.

>>52475976
Why would I try impressing other people with my watch, I didn't make it or anything it's just a fucking mass produced toy I bought, buying it isn't some tremendous accomplishment. If anything maybe they would be impressed by the watch manufacturer. Buying shit to try to impress others is pretty pathetic anon, I guess the only thing more pathetic is buying fake shit to try to impress others.

You don't have to like watches but if you don't like them then why are you buying them, anon?

>>52476086
No, those are literally all the decent watches that exist.

More seriously, consider if you want a mechanical watch or not. They have some drawbacks, namely the relative inaccuracy and the need to keep them wound (or worn in the case of automatics).

Acrylic is better than sapphire in my opinion. Light reflects off of it better, and it is more durable. Most vintage watches use acrylic.

>but it doesn't stop that the vintages are fucking $8k for a domed plexi used watch that wasn't even that great to begin with.

But the problem is that I don't see many new watches that appeal to me.

I don't want a watch over 40mm. I don't want a watch with a shiny metallic dial. I don't want a watch with an overloaded dial. I don't want a chrono with the Valjoux 7750 subdial alignment. I don't want a watch with a flat face. I don't want a dressy watch.

Thread seems to be alive, so might as well go and ask.

I currently have a 420 case'd Amphibia with classic scuba dude dial. Now i kind want to change it and i'm at somewhat of a stalemate.

I'm wondering if i should get a new Amphibia with a blue scuba dude (710059), or should i just get either a 090 or 710 case and implant the movement into it.

>>52477126
A replacement case off Ebay is between half and two-thirds of a whole Amphibia in price, so only go for it if you definitely don't want another Amphibia.

Swapping the case should be easy, you just remove the caseback, take out the winding crown, drop out the movement and put it in the other case.

I'm well versed in the process of how to do it. And i do have do have pic related.

Though Amphibia i want will cost 70~75$.

So basically it's either i get a new Amphibia, or replace the case and also get a new aftermarket bezel.

There are counterfeit Komandirskies. They're not extremely common but they do exist.

Fake is also synonymous with franken, but that watch is not just franken when literally the dial (admittedly), hands, and possibly the crown and bezel are all aftermarket and/or inappropriate for the model. Anyone who pays that much for it is an idiot, and does create legitimate concern for potential buyers.

>>52478930

No watch is really designed for shower use. They're resistant to water, but soaps and detergents can erode the rubber seals faster.

You guys are aware that the high pressure flow of a shower replicates the force of several atmospheres of pressure and the combination of heat and chemicals aren't great for your watch

get real. Water is bad for watches period. If it has been designed to handle the water, a shower isnt going to bother it. Obviously, you dont shower with a Patek minute repeater. But if you have a dive watch, 007, or Orient Mako/Ray, Sub etc..there is nothing wrong with it.

>>52479744
Close to a gshock, my gshock is still going 3+ years strong and no battery change

>>52479785
No it isn't

Anyway, the whole water and water pressure thing isn't that big of a deal. It's the very sudden temperature change to a ridiculous level and it's the chemicals that will come in to contact with your watch have potential fuck up the gasket. If the gasket gets fucked up the water resistance drops, which could be a problem because you need every piece of water resistance you can get because youre showering with it

>>52479801
My wrists are too small for gshocks, how are baby gs?

>>52479785
>Dynamic pressure is a myth.
Somebody didn't pay attention in fluid mechanics class.

But I agree with your sentiment, I don't get why you people buy water resistant watches and then baby them and think a little water is going to wreck them instantly. But I also don't understand why you want to shower with a watch on, I'm normally naked in the shower but maybe that's just me. In fact the first thing I do when I get home is take off my watch and I don't put one on again until I'm going out the door.

Is there a digital watch lie that cheap casio that's a little more plain looking? Like without a bunch of writing all over it? A countdown timer and stopwatch would be nice. About the same size too.

It is similar to the Orient Bambino, true. I like the subdial though, and the Chinese one is slightly smaller and thinner. Worth a shot I figured, so I ordered it. Will post pictures when it comes in a few days.

I must have 5 ~$150 watches at this point. I really should just stop buying them and buy one good one, but it's nice to have a rotation too.

That is still analog.

Now, all jokes aside, please don't post that ugly pile of dogshit here.
I like how a lange felt the need to have that trashy looking screw in the middle. The small ones are ok tho.

>a lange design reminds me of this

>>52484499
No it's not, it's a digital readout. It being a mechanical movement doesn't make it analog.

>>52484153

>>52484520
Digital means that it is displayed in pixels.

>>52484547
No it doesn't. It can refer to anything using digits, which is exactly what it's doing.

>>52484535
Thank you, agreed.I just posted the Diesel to show that cheap fashionbrands use that kind of design. In no way i do like the watch.

Sometimes someone just wants an ST-19 watch and thinks a replica looks better than what's available at a similar price.

>>52485359

Why is nobody talking about the new IWC Marks at SIHH 2016?

Personally I think they did a decent job by not releasing a fuck-up like the Mark XVII.

Reducing the case-size, even by 1mm is much welcomed. The matching date column and dial is nice. Bringing back the 6-9 numerals is also a good move. I just hope they lume all the numerals but I doubt this is the case. They also reduced the price of the watches by a a couple hundred of bucks which is nice I guess.

This is the Le Petit Prince edition of the Mark XVIII. It has a nice blue sunburst dial which is quite nice. I can accept the contrasting date column because of the blue dial but honestly would have preferred a no date version.

If this version came with a bracelet I would probably get it. But so far I think only the normal edition marks will get offered with bracelet.

>>52485628
>They also reduced the price of the watches by a a couple hundred of bucks which is nice I guess.
So it's only $9800?

This is the 36mm version of the Mark pilot watches. I think the gray version is quite nice. The gold version looks a bit feminine and the blue version looks a bit off.

It's about as close as you're going to get for under $200.

It's not gigantic (Steinhart has a bit of a weight problem).
Good movement.
Bezel is ceramic.
Cyclops has decent magnification.
Sapphire crystal.

>>52487018
>marketing fluff brags about having a hacking second hand and acts like that is a complication
It's actually quite hard on a tourbillon. Most tourbillons, including ultra high end watches, don't hack.

one of the closest. Other than the branding the only major difference I see is how they've treated the edges. tisell's are much more rounded than a submariner's
