I bought it in November of last year. It was from 2014. One of the last 3570.50s. Came with bracelet but no box or papers. I was prepared to pay import taxes, I had to pay $60 import taxes for my seamaster I bought early last year. But it's been three months and I haven't received any billing like I did with my 2220.80. So idk.

What does "t." mean?

My thoughts after a few days:
The finishing is spectacular, I don't get tired of looking at it. The blue hands are sublime but I wish the subdials had the same color instead of black. The watch is quite thick at 15mm but the shape of the case does a lot to hide it from all but a direct side view and it's less than 5% thicker than a MOTFM. The movement is running about 6 seconds a day fast, unfortunately the chronograph portion is under the dial and invisible through the caseback. No microadjusts on the bracelet but two half links were included. Not bad for less than $1100.

I just bought my first "real" watch, a Seiko Premier analogue quartz watch with a date calendar and two hands. I really like it but I'm a bit worried, because in my autistic attempts at getting the long hand to match my computer's time, I've accidentally done a couple of things that perhaps aren't good practice:
>turned the second hand backwards ½ turn
>once failed to pull the crown all the way out before turning it, resulting in both the date calendar and second hand advancing at the same time
Any reason to worry about this or am I just being silly? The manual doesn't mention these situations being an issue, but, still.

>im suprised there isnt more digital watch appreciation here.
There is some but digital is a mixed bag really.

Aesthetics should be easier than mechanical in theory since the movements tend to be smaller so you get more freedom in layouts. Unfortunately many of the designs are downright hideous. Also few digital offer complications.

Smart watches has made it possible for third parties to make designs, many of which are nice, tidy and can have complications. The downside is that you need a daily recharge.

>>58752604
Aaaah it means source!!

And everyone says SSDs are a meme.

I understand the disdain towards Steinhart as a brand as 80% of their watches are just straight up uninspired Sub Homages. I get that some people don't like to see that.

But at the same time, those people have to stop and look at everything else about the watch.
They're adequately finished considering the price, far from exceptional, but nor are they poor.
They have considerably more accurate movements than you might find in Seikos of a comparable price. By a considerable margin too.

Their original designs are hit and miss. I personally love the look of the Titanium 500, and the Military 42 (Though the branding in the middle of the dial is a turn off).

Frankly dude, if you like the look of the Titanium 500, go for it. Don't be memed out of it. It's a solid watch, I know one anon here had a bad time with a Steinhart Fliegar, never knew what became of it or what was wrong with it in the first place - beyond the obvious that is atleast.
If Titanium 500 bro crops up, be sure to ask him. He'd feed in how it is in person. I can only speak on part of the OVM.

It's recommended not to do that everyday, but a dozen times in 10 years should be fine. It won't suddenly kill the movement, it just "may" slightly damage it in the long run. Don't worry too much.

MEMS is not new by any means. In horology there is also several Ulysse Nardin designs that also use MEMS. They are also working on glass bridges and if I understood/remember the article correctly someone is making integrated bridges, that is bridges manufactured with jewel equivalent fabricated from the start.

>>58756970
I am not sure there *is* a crash but I guess it will come sooner or later. With MEMS you take a lot of manual labour out of the production and the main value add is design and functionality.

No.

>>58766760
The eichi II in person struck me as meh to be honest. Unless you're looking at it with a ten power loupe, it just looks really sterile and empty. The movement finishing is of course superb, but again, unless you're really really up close, not immediately distinguishable from lower-end credors or high-end GS.

>>58770131
I like the idea of it. I just wish I liked the design. Apple Pay on the wrist must be pretty fantastic though.

I wanted a cheap but durable watch for the gym should i get an f91w or the w800-1av

Just sold my smartwatch to buy a real watch. I'm kind of on the fence between this

>https://www.amazon.com/Timex-TW4B048009J-Expedition-Scout-Slip-Thru/dp/B0194LWAGW/

and some sort of casio because I heard those were super durable. I want something to wear when I sleep and shower, preferably not having to take it off for weeks at a time. Which one should i get? If Casio, which specific one?

This just came today, first Grand Seiko in my collection and it really really is everything people say online about it. Extremely nicely done with awesome packaging. The case and dial and bracelet sheesh.. And the beautiful movement at the behind

>>58773985
Nice. Lo-beat, right? 9S65?

>>58774047
yeh more like normal beat lol

>>58773261
I'd get the G-Shock. Should last longer.

>>58773996
How d'you like it compared to the explorer?

>>58774653
Both cool, Rolex explorer is great as it is reserved rolex and a true icon.

Grand Seiko not as much an icon but for me an extremely respectable and great maker.

Quality wise when handling, the bracelet on both are extremely nice.

Case/Dial - I will give it to the Grand Seiko for the higher finish with more intricate case details and the better polish. Dial really reflects light nicely on the GS. Can't complain about the iconic explorer dial of course.

Movement on both are great of course. Two of the greats in the industry I'm sure.

They for me are different watches of course and can't say I prefer one over the other.

One crap thing about it is that its 13.2mm thick or so. Explorer is 12mm

That is one thing I can say that I prefer the rolex over the GS.

On the wrist it doesnt seem too thick so it is OK. But could be improved.

>>58776347
One thing I have discovered is the super legibility of this watch. The super sharp hands make it extremely clear what the time is. Although not the most popular GS, i like it a lot with the red accents making it a little sportier than the dressier GS watches.

It is the most beautiful movement watch I've owned for sure.

>>58776603
the katana polished sword hands really make GS

>>58776603
The hands are my favourite feature of Grand Seikos. And yeah the minute track makes it an easy watch to wear every day.

I'm still on the fence about the choice of my first "nice" watch, Nomos or GS.
I'll need to actually try different models on - it will be quite a ways before I can buy one anyway.

>>58776663
The polishing is amazing all around the case and the hands. Works well with the creamy dial as well. I'll have to take better pics tomorrow, in the middle of a move atm

>>58776680
I consider all my watches nice anyways, whats your current collection if you have one?

Watch repair anon here. Guy comes in today saying that he has a 45-50 year old Soviet watch that needs repair, and by the way he said it I think it's a bumper watch. Any idea what make it could be? The guy didn't know, he said the logo was like a red V.

>>58758722
>Is the ST19 movement pretty good (like the watch still functions 1 year later)?

So far so good (it's been 4 monthes).

Bought it from Poljot24, which sent an additional leather strap and a chocolate Santa Klaus :)

>>58777312
Actually more like 2 monthes

>>58776680

I own both. GS shits over Nomos in terms of quality.

Nomos is still nice, sure. But different leagues in every way.

>>58777000
Seiko SNK803, Orient Ray (first version), Luch one-handed watch
So pretty much shitters, although I really like the Seiko and Orient. The Luch is just for fun since I got it for a good price.
I don't consider any of them actually good watches though, the finishing, and even the design, aren't up to par with the better watches out there.

>>58777603
Grand Seikos are a bit more expensive anyway. But even then, I really like Nomos' designs. GS are amazing but way more conservative.

I recall that in one episode they mention him wearing a TAG Heuer. Based on the timeline it would have been 1-2 years after TAG bought Heuer, so it is possible it was a mistranslation of just Heuer, I wasn't listening well enough until I read the subtitle. Additionally, if he had had the watch for more than two years it would have definitely been Heuer.
