I agree that the original bezels are meh at best. But i dislike how the 420 case sits on my arm. The lug size is too small.

Labradors are big.

Hey /g/,
I have a casio f91 right now, love the watch and size, but the strap is breaking. I don't really want to put a new strap on or get another one. So my question is, what's a watch that's pretty much the same size as the f91-w, and is digital?

Here's somebody's wrist shot. I just hope a 1920's style watch on a young man doesn't have the same effect as a 1920's style hat, if you know what I mean.

>>52656862
I remember someone saying that they go through batteries really fast.

>>52656862
Quartz is cheaper and more accurate.

I wish that someone still made tuning fork movements. It is basically an accurate mechanical watch that runs off of a battery. Unlike quartz, which moves the hands with motors, the gear train is directly pushed by the movement of the tuning fork. I think that there would still be a market for tuning fork movements if someone produced them again.

>>52656934
I know that modern Bulovas, which use a high beat quartz movement, eat batteries very quickly, because they have to push a motor ~16 times a second. I do not think that tuning forks do, but I am not sure.

>>52656913
Watches are small enough accessories that you can afford a bit of embarrassment there. Besides not like many people will actually connect that watch to anything in particular.

I fucking well know that deep inside, I'm a dirty fedoraboy; though it mostly comes from my love for old cinema. Actually dressing like it was the 50s would be too much, but I can afford to wear an old-timey watch, it won't ruin my image anywhere.

>>52656939
I wonder what it would cost to begin production of one, either a copied design or a new one.

>>52656939
The accuracy difference is still pretty high, no?

>>52656817

Spend a couple bucks more and get the F-105W. The backlight on the F-91W is worthless, while the 105 has the comfy illuminator backlight.

http://www.amazon.com/Casio-F105W-1A-Illuminator-Sport-Watch/dp/B000GB1RAU

>>52657024
Mechanical watches do sell as well though.

>>52657024
Accutron movements were rated at 2 seconds a day. Cheap quartz movements are usually a bit more accurate.

>>52656939
Tuning fork watches can be just as accurate (if not more so) than a regular quartz watch (aka not a 9F seiko). An omega f300Hz is more immune to positional variance than an old accutron with a 214 movement, so it'll stay accurate no matter how you place it. The megasonics going at 720Hz should be even more so.

>>52657056
>Accutron movements were rated at 2 seconds a day.
You mean 1 second per day.

>>52657012
Too much for what it can pay back it seems.

>>52657039
Yeah but a tuning fork movement is even more niche.

Just searched some and found that Montblanc sell a strap accessory but only with the watch. Don't think anyone else develops these accessories.

>>52657083
I have always read 2 seconds. Maybe some were more accurate.

"A forerunner of modern quartz watches which also keep time with a vibrating resonator, the Accutron was guaranteed to be accurate to a minute per month, or 2 seconds per day, considerably better than mechanical watches of the time."

-Wikipedia.

>>52657116
I think that there may be a lot of demand for tuning forks if they were marketed right.

>>52657207
I just wish megasonics weren't so hard to find.

There are though, the UHF bulovas have a smooth sweep. Although that sweep is only 16Hz (the steps of the hand, not the quartz crystal itself). Meanwhile real tuning fork watches are at least 300Hz.

Already exists, look up hi-beat quartz:

Clear model paint, like Tamiya or Gunze? They're high quality, believe me scale modelers are way more autistic than watchfags.

hm I'm sure I know someone who has some stuff like that. A thinner is sometimes also recommended - is that something that goes hand in hand with that kind of paint?

Tamiya clear should have a good enough thickness out of the bottle to paint hands with it. There are thinners for it, but for Jap acrylic I just used alcohol. That might not be a good idea for a watch though, alcohol tends to be very aggressive with paints, you might strip the dial if you try to re-lume it.

I'm seconding that post in the previous thread: why aren't there day/date GMTs?

I checked all Seiko 5s already and it seems none has a GMT feature. Also checked all the biggest GMT ranges, including Glycine, and there's no day anywhere.

Really seems to be a crown issue. There are some day/date worldtime quartz though, but even those only have one hour hand, and you need to switch in-between timezones with buttons. If feature is key, Casio has all that's required, otherwise that might just be something smartwatches can do better.

Other things in your price range that are good are Timex, especially the Expedition series, and your lower end Suunto (not the Core, that's just a tacticool oversize watch that compiles useless features from their cheaper watches into a single model. You can get the same quality from the same brand for only 80 freedom dollars on Amazon.Com)

Fucking garbage get the 38mm or whatever size it is that doesn't have the awful cut off number, and get a normal plain steel one. PVD is tacticool and not durable at all, titanium is worse than steel for watches in my opinion because it's easier to scratch.

I like the Khaki line though, they're pretty nice. If you want to look into another alternative the Seiko SARG007 is a slightly different style field watch and it's around the same price and stuff, it's automatic though and I don't know if maybe you specifically want a handwinding movement for authenticity or thinness. There's also the Marathon General Purpose Mechanical if you want something more military and with tritium tubes, but I think it costs more than it should and it's pretty ugly.

In the early 1970s, Suwa Seikosha had already ceased producing high end mechanical watches, and Daini Seikosha realized they would have one last stab at created an automatic movement to leave for posterity's sake.

This led to the development of Daini's 52xx caliber, featuring 28,800 bph, quickset day/date using the crown, instantaneous day/date change at midnight, adjustable beat corrector, rack and pinion micro-adjuster, bi-directional winding, etc.

For their last hurrah they created a final variant of this movement for the final King Seiko model, and then adjusted it to GS standards in the form of the 1975 King Seiko 5256-8010.

And I found it for 170 maple syrup bux!

>>52662720
A cheap 9015 watch might be nicer due to 28800bps and hacking/handwind.

Man that dial is nice. I always tend to prefer Daini styling.

And no, the bracelet is going to be put away and replaced by a black Horween shell Cordovan leather strap and/or the Staib Milanese mesh I've got coming for it.

Good times.

Build quality is good, cyclops has good magnification (have since bought a Steinhart and those have shit magnification by comparison, ended up selling it because I don't need two Submariner homages), only downside is the kerning, but it'snot noticeable unless you hold your watch six inches away from your face.

Someone wanted pictures of the movement. So this is the 6S37B movement, mostly the same as the 6S37A you find lots of pictures of online. Main difference is the quality of finishing, the type of finishing (tokyo stripes instead of colimaconnage) and the rhodium plating.

From this image you can see the adjustment screw. This is something we haven't talked about much. Low end watches tend to use a small arm that you can poke with something like a match stick back and forth to help adjust the watch on the most basic level and that's mostly all you can do. We have guys using apps like wildspectra to see how their watch is running in different positions and making small adjustments to see if they can improve the timing by making it more accurate and by making sure whatever bias does exist tends towards running fast (better to be early than late.)

On this particular movement you can see an etachron-style fine adjustment screw (not sure if they have a particular name for it, other than etachron for Seiko).

If you're interested in watch regulation you could google a couple things including etachron, watch regulation, microstella (rolex patent) and gyromax (patek patent.)

Also this is the only decent picture I got, the rest were fuzzy.

>>52663286
Many times this.
There's a watch shop down the street from me. One day a manual wind watch I own jams up and refuses to wind. I bring it to them to see what they can do. 2 weeks later I get it back but it's gaining time like mad, minutes a day. I take it back and they give it another go. This time I get it back and it seems better, but a few days later it jams up again. Not taking the chance on letting them touch it a 3rd time. Gotta find somebody else.

The first dive watch my father gave me would be something I would like. He actually took me diving and taught me how to use a driver's bezel and how important a watch is to a diver (dive computers were not in significant use for recreational diving yet.)

I believe that watch got lost during a move when I still lived with my parents. It was not a watch of significant cost or quality, but I would get get a lot out of having it again.

Other than that there's a number if pieces I would love to own, and it would be extremely hard to pick just one. Not only would it be hard to pick one because then I'd be giving up other watches, but I'd be stuck with just that. Something like a Zeitwerk minute repeater would be amazing, but is actually pretty large and heavy to have as an only watch.

Immediately the patek 5396 comes to mind, one of my favorite pateks, and one of my favorite annual calendars. A complicated piece with a shockingly uncomplicated dial. But could I only wear just that? I think I might actually be more comfortable in something like a 15202, a two hander with date, but in an angular steel case and bracelet with blue dial making it sporty, but has a touch of elegance.

Or dare I say it, if I had my choice of any watch to be my one watch, it might be.. Another Grand Seiko.

It's got a pretty amazing and historically interesting movement. That rotor, which so very thin, is held against that rail and then much of the weight loaded all at the very end, which allows it to so darn thin. You would expect this sort of thin movement to normally only be attempted as manual wind or with a micro-rotor. This is some really well done stuff here.

I think it's a fantastic watch. And if I got a couple weeks wrist time with it, I might be willing to say if I could have it as an only watch (not that I would ever really want to have an only watch.)

>>52664251

The LM Special is a very nice and underrated watch, and it shares the 52xx movement family, but it isn't quite equivalent to Daini's last automatic hurrah.

The 5256 version of the 52KS was only produced for one year and was literally intended from the ground up as Daini's final statement of mechanical watchmaking ability for the ages.

It was manufactured and factory adjusted to GS+ levels by the same people at Daini who had worked on the Daini produced GS models (e.g. 45GS)

>>52659392

in reality I'm pretty sure soldiers and whatnot wear rather random watches, with g-shocks and such being popular. but I do believe that luminox has confirmedly supplied watches to soldiers before.

>taking extra time to read fucking analog watches
this depends on your position though
most digital watches need a button press of a flick of your wrist to trigger the backlight, etc.

>$800 mechanical in rough environment
oh, I thought we were talking about quartz watches

Funny you should mention the Seikos in Nam, considering they became so popular with soldiers because the field watches they were issued were shit and would get flooded and seize up in the jungle. Seiko was a pretty unknown brand to Americans but watches like the 6105 were cheap and worked well so they threw away their OFFICIAL US ARMY MILITARY GRADE WATCH and wore Seikos instead.

read the rest of the quote somewhere tho

Fakes and homages are both pretty shitty. The latter is used as an excuse for the company being incapable of making an original design, so they ape another and save time and money. Unfortunately both fakes and homages are kept going by idiot consumers who cannot aim any higher or think to get something with an original design in their price range.

>>52668972
Not the micro tubes you mongoloid, they cost relatively more than your faggy autismo keychain does. And their installation and is a bitch and costly affair.

There is no such thing as "good" clothes in 2016. Only more expensive shit.

>>52669542
Nice scrap metal/glass.

>>52669643

>>52669784
there are good clothes, but indeed price is no guarantee

anyway, go buy a tailor-made suit or anything from a good place and tell me that shit ain't high quality (and it'll actually fit ya)

for ready-made clothes, one just needs to try different ones and research them to find something that is good. generally speaking, this "good" is priced somewhere between "cheap" and "high fashion" - that is, indeed it ain't the most expensive stuff you can buy, but neither is it cheap.

I started wearing a cheap little Swatch Irony Aluminium.
I rather like wearing a watch. Will follow these threads.

Not much with an original design in the <$300 price range.
I like the Rolex sub design. I got an Orient Ray. It looks good and is different enough that nobody would take it for a Sub. That's all fine by me.

$10 ones will be better, but not ten times better. My British Monkeyswag Bond is a year old now, wore it daily for quite a while and still no sign that it'll eventually give out. Also it's noticeably tougher, comfier and better made than $1 ones.

Still 1$ ones work for your cheapshit watches, but maybe a Ray deserves something better.

>But yeah wear in good lulz since Tissell is actually a great watch for the price, and steinhart at 2x the price is its closest competitor...
The Steinhart is nice, but it's bigger (not an issue for me), pricier and the Cyclops isn't as good.
I ended up selling mine about 2-3 weeks after buying it, I didn't dislike it, I just din't want it.

But it comes down to this:
If Kerning is a MASSIVE issue for you, buy the Steinhart.

If the Cyclops/Size is a MASSIVE issue for you, buy the Tisell.

If both are massive issues for you, save up and get a Rolex.

>>52670018

It looks different enough to make you look twice. The much-fapped-over Steinhart Ocean One even uses the same kind of hands as the Rolex Submariner.

Yeah, Steinhart makes blatant copies.
I like where they're going with the hands and blue details of their Ocean Titanium, but the case and bezel are still just a submariner rip-off.

But if someone likes a design a lot, and doesn't have the kind of money it takes to buy the original, I won't hold it against them if they choose to get an homage.
Fakes are another story.

>>52670516
>I find it really funny how Richemont is getting completely BTFO by the chinks who make reps with the same materials and functionalities for literally ~5% of the price.
And no quality control, warranty, or possibility of service.
If the chinks put the same kind of effort in making original designs... Well actually they wouldn't make anything good, because all they know is to copy.
Still, it's a shame.

I just got an old Rolex Submariner, but I'm only 23, so I'm thinking of getting a NATO strap before I make it my everyday, to dress it down. Only problem is, where should I get one?

Dollar stores don't seem appropriate, somehow. Canada has a shit dollar right now, so I'd prefer somewhere without a retarded shipping cost. Any help would be /g/.

>tfw my rolex rep without a crown was keeping time as good as my seiko for about a month

if these people made real quality watches, they would be competing with rolex.

sadly i dont know anyone who would work on a rep, i'd love to service it and put in a sterile dial.

>>52671213
The Chinese only make quality products for the Chinese. The cheap shit is because the masses want it, same as American fast food.

That said, if you're buying a fake and expect it to act like the real deal, I've got some bad news for you.

Wear it on the bracelet you enormous pussy. Get a nato if you want it too but don't just get rid of the bracelet for no reason. I like natos from Crown and Buckle personally, no idea about shipping to Canada though.
