Reminder that replacing an hour marker with a date window is fucking retarded.

Especially in a dive watch.

There's plenty of room in between those markers god fucking damn it.

PERLON >>> NATO

NATO STRAPS ARE SHIT

>>60307692
why

>>60307624
Happens all the time. One ended up on r/watches.

What's worst is it's always some autist with no self control who overpays at the last second. This is why I usually go for the "for parts or restore" watches since it doesn't fit with the "I want and I want it NOW" mentality. Usually it's a pallet fork here, a cleaning there, or replace the hour wheel and they're good to go.

>>60307624
Know that feel. The fucking snipers pay a fucking shit ton of money for crappy listings, and some use ultra high speed techniques so you can't really compete with them if you're using a regular connection and ordinary snipers

>>60307758

You can actually remove those, see pic.

The strap attaches directly to the tiny lugs of the watch head by means of short spring bars.

Not sure how the watch head looks irl without those fake screw-on lugs.

>>60307873
Great, no issues so far, though I've had it for a year. A cool feature is that it automatically adjusts the time when daylight savings begin and also changes the date depending on the month, so you never have to adjust it. Since it's also solar powered making it a really low maintenance watch.

You connect it to your phone so it syncs the time, casio has an app out for that.

That requires to actually have influential males susceptible to guilt-tripping, since feminists have no power in their own. That is lacking here, in fact some politicians have accidentally slipped some comments out time to time towards female politicians that indicated that they're actual, REAL misogynists. There were shitstorms by womens groups, but everybody just said "lol go fuck you're selves" and the men remained in position, without an apology even.

Lol, even the guy who beat his wife black and blue so bad it became a court case got off. He literally used the "lol she fell I guess" defense, kek.

>>60308644
A lot of the times the watches look better irl than in the pics, but this might not be the case. A light polish might work on the case though, if it doesn't have some fancy Seiko finish.

You'll probably be in trouble with the crystal though, a NOS crystal might be expensive or extinct.

>>60308687

do you guys ever consciously acknowledge that nobody cares about your watch? not trying to hate on watches in general, but it's true that even intelligent normies don't really pay any attention to watches. the differences between a $500 "shitter" and a $2500 watch are pretty much irrelevant to 99.99% of people. so many people here buy mid-tier watches for 'prestige' but they're just not worth it given that legitimately nobody cares.

just a thought, idk

>>60308708
There are rectangular generic replacements available, the only problem being there are three parameters now instead of two (width+thickness for round vs. width+height+thickness), but what we do when there's a special shape is send it off to a guy who normally works on optical lenses. We literally use lenses originally for glasses for crystals like domed rectangular.

Every "normie" recognises a Rollie for example.
Also, in my workplace and my field in general, there are many normies who are interested in watches. Their age varies from 20 to 60.

>>60308644
Good luck finding a replacement crystal, a rectangular bevelled crystal with the corners cut off like a BSG book is very specific.

>>60308928
>Every "normie" recognises a Rollie for example.
Yeah but that's it. You can cop one of those and a few meme watches and you're pretty much done. There's no practical room for muh soul muh character because 98% of you guys just use that as an excuse to be brand whores (only amongst watch austists, though) and to rationalize the purchase of false status symbols. It all just seems so contrived.

yup, that's the scam with quartz watches. For the cost of a battery change by a 'professional' you can get a new watch. OR just learn to change the battery yourself. OR better still get an eco-drive/light powered watch and have a fuss free watch ownership experience.

I think I discovered the cocktail seiko through /wt/ and this time /wt/ really wasn't memeing, this thing looks and feels really nice.

Sometimes I wonder, between Russian watches for the weird movements for a great price (like a really thin Poljot 2209, or an alarm watch, etc.), Seiko divers with a great value for money (turtle, skx007, etc.), and dressy Seikos + Grand Seikos that look and feel fucking great, I can't imagine myself paying 3k for a mid-high end Swiss, or any Swiss at all, unless I was filthy rich and wanted to drop 50k on a crazy complication or novelty, like that razor thin tourbillon Bvlgari.

(And even then, I'd probably opt for a Credor Eichi II)

For straight dress watches rose gold's fine. I'm not even looking at yellow gold anymore since it's too garish on my skin. IMO yellow gold only looks good on blacks and others with brown to black skin. Unless you're a crinkly old rich white dude of course.

I'm sure you'll get a lot of flack for this, but I kind of agree with you. I purchased a quartz GS recently and simply did not find it to be that much nicer than the SARB I used to own. Sure, the hands were beautiful and the case finishing was impeccable, but the watch as a whole just left me really cold, once I had it all desire was lost. I'm sure part of it has to do with the fact it was a quartz (no doubt I'd still love a high beat, handwound GS), but I couldn't stop thinking about how good the SARB is for how little it costs compared to GS.

As far as case finishing goes, not much beats the MKIIs radial brushing. Guess it only really works on Tonneau cases, which is why it is not seen but on a few other watches.

>>60316255
Are you blind? The sarbs have no AR, mediocre polish and the bracelet is barely adequate. It's definitely nice compared to other $300 watches but comparing it to grand seiko or the higher end presages is laughable. Even my $400 SARX013 looks noticably better in terms of case detail and polishing.

A Grand Seiko is manufactured, finished and QC'd to a level that is in another galaxy from a SARB. Having handled the SARB 033/035 in person and owning a Seiko Brightz SDGM003, I can tell you that even the Brightz is finished much better than the SARB.

However, many people simply don't have the eye for detail to really appreciate the exponentially difference in workmanship on a GS than a SARB, and if that is the case for you, then a SARB is a good fit for you and it doesn't make sense for you to spend GS money.

>>60316534
I see no difference whatsoever.

>>60316156
Have you ever handled these watches in person? I can tell you from experience that the difference leaps out at you when you handle the watches up close.

As an example, my SDGM shits all over a $4000 USD Omega Aqua Terra. The Omega looks and feels like a SARB by comparison.

>>60316566
Whether you're looking at a physical object, or a photograph of that object, the human bias is still there.

The problem is that the computer screen on which the pic is displayed is full of pixels, irregularities and other shit that completely crap up the impeccable finish of the actual grand seiko.

You can't tell much from pics.
We're talking about surface finishing that is way too fine to distinguish on your shitty pixel-based monitor, but is obvious as all hell irl.
Try to get your hands on an actual GS, and put a SARB side by side if you can.

I visited a seiko store last week, and handled my first GS.
I went in all skeptical and shit, and for a few seconds after holding the GS I was all "so what's the big deal?".
But then I noticed the polished area of the case. I genuinely thought there was a hole there for a second, it's like a portal to another universe.
And then one thing after the other started catching my eye.
It's pretty unreal.

Am I the only one who frowns upon non-Euros using Frakturschrift?

I've owned both. And again, this is comparing the SARB to a low end quartz GS, not a higher end mechanical or spring drive model- I will wholeheartedly say (from all that I've seen) the higher end models do have much more interesting case finishing, and as shown here, >>60316508 bracelet finishing as well.

>>60317066
Nobody even knows what that means, literally just a font, just walk away from the keyboard nigga, nobody can hurt you online

>>60317095
But what if I encounter a GS in real life?

>>60317119
Just walk away from the gs and close your eyes like haha

>>60317066
It bothers me too, but it is kind of funny that they copy a western invention and even copy a western font for the brand name

>>60317119
Bow to your master.

Can people tell me anything about Dreyfuss, all I can find online is marketing or reviews of specific models.
Are they a decent low end watch?
Should I just get a nice seiko instead?

The very finest Swiss watches have
"Swiss" or "Swiss made" in English right on the dial.

Don't worry about it.

>>60317210
Get a seiko, then when you learn about watches, you can get something else

>>60316616
Naw, just pointing out the trend of posting your car with your watch.

Not long after that image started getting posted.

He wasn't around for long. But he was clearly a butthurt kike.

The image is retarded though because Omega is owned by Lebanese Christians, not Jews.

yeah except for the fact that servicing a mechanical is done once every 5 years and costs like twice as much. An Ecodrive is once every 20 years and costs not much more than the cost of a battery.
