Found a fake rolex.
Was astonished by the amount of work they did on small details for it to not look fake.

Laser etched in the crown into the glass and everything.

Casio literally makes a bracelet for that watch

>>61247389
It appears that Daini Seikosha and Suwa Seikosha continued to use their respective marks on watches made by each half of the company well after they were renamed Seiko instruments and Seiko Epson, respectively. As far as I can tell, their marks were used at least until the early 1990s and were not phased out until the 7SXX/4Rxx/6RXX/6SXX/8RXX era of movements.

Don't forget that to this day Seiko Epson remains involved in the manufacturing of parts and/or complete stepper motor quartz and spring drive movements for Seiko watches. It is only the purely mechanical models that are made by SII exclusively.

I've never worn a watch. A friend gave me a Fitbit and I enjoyed it more than I thought.

It capped out in only a few months, so I'm thinking I'll upgrade to a fitness tracking smartwatch. I'm looking at the Garmin Forerunner 235. Any recommendations or warnings?

>>61250949
>It capped out in only a few months
What does this mean? I don't know anything about Fitbits.

>>61251055
Typo. Crapped out. The band I have is one piece, and it's started to tear away from the display.

Its not awful as it was a hand me down, but fitbit won't replace it and if I'm strapping something to my arm every day it may as well be a watch.

Are Seiko SARB watched put together by hand? They sure have a heft that reminds me of a luxury brand watch.

>>61251288
Humans are involved in their assembly, though I caution you that the mass of an object is not a good indicator of it's provenance.

>>61250949

Garmin trackers are great. I used to own a Fenix, it served me well.

>>61251105
I'm not trying to steer you away from our world of watch-centric autism, but why not just replace the band?

>>61251552
A few reasons, I guess.

-I want to switch companies since I don't trust fitbit build quality now

-I'm interested in a larger display that reads better in sunlight, I have really bad eyes

-I'm interested in some smartwatch functionality, like being able to read a message or change music tracks. I don't need that stuff, but it'd be cool.

Since I'd have to spend about $150 to replace what I started with, it makes sense to spend a bit more and step up.

If it wasn't clear, this particular model doesn't have a separate band and display, it's all one piece. My band is fucked, so my whole unit is fucked.

>>61251884
Wtf I hate Fitbit now. Which model is it?

>>61251903
Charge HR. My friend bought one a year ago, it had the same problem they replaced it, he used it for a few months more.

Switched it out for a Garmin watch (hence my interest) and passed it on to me and then had the same issue, but since Fitbit fulfilled the original warranty they are saying tough shit.

I was originally going to write it off and get a new one, but they jerked me around a bit playing like they might actually help, so fuck 'em.

To be fair, the new model HR2 in pretty sure does have a replaceable band now.

>>61252012
>I was originally going to write it off and get a new one, but they jerked me around a bit playing like they might actually help, so fuck 'em.
Tell them this, see if they'll give you an HR2. Still get the actual watch, but keep the HR2 as a backup, or give it away or sell it.

Took off the watch the other day and the metal rod holding one of the links together fell out so now its unusable.

Just take a loan and buy a solid gold daytona from an AD. Then, sell it NIB second-hand for more than you paid, and pay off your loan. Repeat this process until you have enough cash to buy whatever strikes your fancy.

>Why the fuck would you be able to sell a new watch for more than you bought it for?

some watches are only sold in certain retail locations or countries and people will pay more for them than retail in other countries

>>61255875
Not him but around here prostitutes are major customers for high end watches. The reason is simple: a watch is an easy way of transporting money and is reasonable convertible in their home countries. So prostitution is one of the major reasons for the large second hand (or "pre owned" as they prefer to call it) market for watches.

>>61256299
Tourbillons are a very useful complication for accurate timekeeping during intercourse since they eliminate positional variation. A moonphase also helps with tracking the menstrual cycle. And it goes without saying that a minimum of 200m WR is recommended.

At least it helps me remember that I'm wearing a ROLEX with its patented OYSTER case milled from a solid block of 904L STAINLESS STEEL housing a PERPETUAL SUPERLATIVE CHRONOMETER movement which has been OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED. Sometimes I read the novel on the dial as I unscrew the TWINLOCK crown or unfasten the OYSTERLOCK clasp on the OYSTER bracelet.

Mine is 7 1/2

hi. I've got a problem. I sent my watch to a man who's popular on my watch forum, to refinish my watch. but he's kept my watch.

the forum will flame me if I bring it up. should I call the police in his state?

I only have 4 watches, but I love watches. At what point do you consider someone a collector?

I just got like 7 "stainless" bands off Ali for like 8 bucks.

I'm hoping one isn't pure shit.

>>61266341
Mine is 8 1/4 and I'm not overweight, I'm just tall.

>>61267724

>>61267724
Call the cops first. Then post about it.
Also, story. Why'd he keep it? You jewing out on him?

>>61267799
no, he quoted $125, I'll pay whatever. I just emailed twice and called once about an estimated ballpark about when it would be done, and he hasn't replied (he would be familiar to many on here).

that's why I'm wondering about his health, he's has great reviews. then *poof*, disappears. 3 weeks and nothing.

am I wrong?

>>61268604
Nah. Tudor makes plenty of good stuff as well, unlike Panerai. That particular one just happens to be pretty awful. They also made some pretty suspect additions to their lineup at Basel this year, but they make tons of respectable watches.

>>61268761

The different shows is different and you shouldn't expect it to be more TNG.
I really loved the TNG as well, but the other shows are not bad.
Voyager is a bit slow the first couple of seasons and I didn't like neelix or whatever he was called, but 7of9 made that series.
DS9 was very different as well, but it was still great with more continuity than the other series.
ENT was more action than science fiction, but there were a lot of great moments in that as well.

Does anyone know anything about the new series like how and and when to get it?

Voyager was the first thing I tried after TNG and it was absolutely horrible.

Everything it did just felt like a cheap knockoff of TNG.

Even though Janeway is semi decent she comes nowhere near the level of JPC or Data.

I watched 5 episodes of voyager and couldn't bear myself to watch anymore

>>61268604
Panerai and Tudor both make pretty decent watches however panerais are a little overpriced for what they are. If you are into the history of the military diver they are interesting however.Tudor in house movement timepieces are very very good value for money.

I saw your photos on reddit. I probably wouldn't rock a 46mm watch if i were you but to each their own. That orient at 42mm look spot on however. I am going to have to try one of those out at one point. How is the accuracy on that?

>>61272935
>I probably wouldn't rock a 46mm watch if i were you
To be fair I have never actually tried one so maybe it'd look like shit.

>How is the accuracy on that?
I'm sitting at +3-4 seconds a day so far which is pretty good for the price I paid.

>>61269080
Panerai are notorious for not doing much with their ETA movements. There was one special edition the put out that did not even decorate the movement, let alone make a meaningful modification.

>>61271335
Seiko makes good watches relative to how much they cost. So does Tudor. Panerai does not.

No it doesn't. I've seen one of these in person and it's actually the nicest watch I've ever seen.

Anyone who sees one of these will know it's expensive, including grills, if that's your criteria for a good watch.

Good, we still don't have enough feedback from the in-house movement so I may have gone ETA, but the warranty's 5 years (the rub is that if there are issues with the in-house, it will affect value).

it's a gay ass microbrand watch from kickstarter. hamtun h1.
i like it though.
full titanium case and bracelet (+silicone strap), sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel, seiko NH35 (hacking/hand winding), drilled lugs, screw down crown. All for £150.
going to use it as a beater.
It wasn't perfect. The titanium bracelet had a bunch of loose screws which were literally falling out, had to loctite the fuckers, the lume is really shit and the silicone strap came with a disgusting stainless mirror finish clasp which doesn't match the case at all. I had to take the titanium clasp from the bracelet and put it on the rubber strap.
Other than that i can't really complain, for the money it's a bargain.
For the same money i guess i could have bought another fucking seiko or something.
It was fun being involved in the development of the watch, especially now that it's on my wrist.

so why all the love for tudor?

Cheaper modernized Rolex brand which is putting out interesting new watches while actual Rolex continues to just make their classic watches flashier and uglier and more expensive for the rich showy Chinese market.

Because they actually make high quality watches, and their new silicon escapement, free sprung balance, balance bridge in-house movement is bringing you Rolex tier movements for Omega tier prices.

Basically they are mostly everything horologically virtuous compared to the craven cynicism of the Swatch Group and virtually every other "Swiss" production watchmaker.

What sort of feedback are you looking for I've been lurking these threads for like 3 years and never posted before I got her - if you have some sort of test in mind I'm very happy to help try and sort it out for my fellow anons
