Archie has been anti ultra thin lately, citing service costs, but he still pushes complicated reversos, wouldn't a reverso date or duotime cost just as much or more than a three hand ultra thin?

I vaguely remember a wristwatch which had a similar mechanism (or had the same result?) as the antikythera, can't remember the name though. Neat shit regardless.

Going to be heading to Japan soon, are there any neat and cheap JDM watches I could look for?

Budget is extremely tight, so I'm probably not buying anything even from the lower end, but it'll be nice to have a look, or maybe even get a preowned

You're both idiots.

The 2nd guy is also being an idiot because the anon the first guy was replying to specifically said he couldn't buy from Russia so he can't order from Meranom anyway.

>>59416833
>anecdotal evidence
the thing is: maybe your watch was 10 seconds fast, then 10 seconds slow the next day. maybe if it was left in one specific position it would have been 30 seconds fast now.
and more importantly, maybe if you buy another one it will run much worse. with a chrono, you are 100% sure that at worse, it will be +4/-6 per day. Often better, but never worse, no matter the conditions.

>>59416882
snk809 i meant, the k key on my keyboard is on its last breath at the moment.
you can find it for around $50 if you look around. good, reliable mechanical watch, as are all Seiko 5s.

>maybe your watch was 10 seconds fast, then 10 seconds slow the next day.

>maybe if it was left in one specific position it would have been 30 seconds fast now.

Why would you leave it in a specific position that made it gain 30 seconds? It's only going to ever be stored dial up.

No that is kind of the classification of a dress watch, to be understated and smaller than a sports watch

Thick bezels are usually reserved for a dive or sports watch, incorporating one doesn't necessarily disqualify something as a dress watch but it certainly doesn't make it one.

Would I be able to change the band on this Seiko 5 SNKE01? Can't quite tell. Anyone here owns this? Would leather even go with this? Thinking of buing my first mechanical.

>>59421214
Yep, they're plastic/resin. I just weighed my little SNK809 (37mm) with chinese leather strap and it's 58.6g while my AWGM100 Solar/Atomic G-Shock is still even lighter at 55g

>>59416962
Buddy, it might look neat from the outside, but the movement is utter shit compared to other automatic movements at that price. Believe you me, that watch is not worth that price tag. Please reconsider, I've had Vostoks and Vostoks thinking to myself 'the next one will surely be ok' but they're not.

it's pretty nice anon. I am not too happy with the finish of the case, but overall the watch face is super nice and I ended up getting a custom strap.

You can change the band.

>leather
Probably will look weird, but just go to a jewlers and hold up a leather band next to it. You don't have to buy it. Or just buy it it's like 15 bucks.

>should I get
It's a 5. They are pretty much the best entry mechanically. And they're cheap, so who cares. You'll enjoy it.

Well looking at it, I would say the movement does 8bps. The 1-2-3-4... etc on the second hand is a type of vernier scale in order for you to tell 8ths of a second on the stopwatch function.

If the watch has hacking, you just pull the crown when it is at 12 o clock, then go to time.is or something like that and push it back in at the right time.
If it doesn't have hacking you kinda can't

While we are on this topic, If my watch is running 5 seconds fast, and I don't change it until it's 2 minutes ahead.
Is that fine to simply just go back 2 minutes? I've heard it can damage stuff if you wind it backwards.
Should I really be adjusting the day+date all the way around to yesterday then changing the time forwards nearly 24 hours just to adjust it for 2 minutes?

>>59425542

I'm looking for a nice watch as a daily beater. It should be a German watch (don't know what's my obsession with it. I guess it's because I'm German).

Optimally I want a watch which looks sporty and can be used as a dress watch at the same time. Knowing the infeasibility of that, I stumbled upon the Laco Berlin as a classic dress watch. I think it would look great with a Nato strap as well, making it much more sporty.
What do you think? Do you change the straps of your watch, depending on the occasion?

P.S.: I'm open for recommendations. My budget is around 1k Euro (+/-).

>>59428243
what are those on the middle right?
