I think its got more do do with not dressing outside your "class" more or less. A doctor would presumably hang around more well off people personally and especially professionaly, and thus the gold would not look all too flashy but blend more or less. If you're a goddamn long haul trucker gold just would look gaudy and try-hard.

>>10865405
Stamped?

I actually think the hands are one of the nicer details about that watch.

>>10864526

>>10865427
You take a sheet of steel or white gold and then you stamp through it. Think of a cookie-cutter but for metal.

There are very few watch brands that still make hands by hand. Even Patek stamps their hands now.

Check this out: http://www.urbanjurgensen.com/legacy/craftsmanship/hands
UJ craftmanship is on another level.

>>10865439
You have to take into account how much the watch costs. A master control with no gimmicks goes for ~3000€, whereas that won't even get you a Calatrava that's fucked up beyond all recognition.

You are definitely right. Still, I find JLC generally a bit lackluster.

>You are definitely right. Still, I find JLC generally a bit lackluster.
The problem with JLC for ages what that they didn't really have any rugged sport watches/divers like rolex et.al.

Sure there was the reverso, but that's pretty much a dress watch and has been for decades, at least since its reintroduction in the 60's.

But their attempts at making sporty watches kinds fail IMO. Too messy, too busy. They're not chaotic shit like zenith, but there's just nothing special about them.

>>10865841
Yeah, but "sporty" watches are for cucks, so who cares?

>>10865856
>so who cares?
Watch companies like JLC do since they want to gain more market share and "sporty" watches worn by the decidedly unsporty make other companies (omega, rolex) a lot of money.
Wear a sporty watch! Imply to onlookers and potential pussy that you're an ACTIVE MAN even though you just sit at an office all fucking day.

Cucks? There's a hell of a lot of them then, pushing up the prices of used steel, mens sports rolexes beyond any sanity annually.

Yeah they're built well but ugly and the movement is unexciting its a solar panel a battery pack and a circuit board.

It's basically a glorified quartz movement.

A nicer version is a Seiko kinetic which is a quartz movement charged by a counterweight.


If you're willing to sacrifice built quality, fit and finish and resale value I would just get a tissot.

They're worthless second hand. But the use eta blank movements the same kind used in the nicer counterfeit Rolex watches. But they sign the counter weight and put a real fancy looking patek Phillipe knock off face on it

The bracelets that come on them are Nixon tier douche bag but you can find nicer ones

Also tissot is kind of known as a douche bag brand for club hoppers but they can look good

I don't know much at all about watches, but I need one $200 or less. I looked into Seiko 5s, and I found one I like a lot. Pic related. Problem is, it's apparently impossible to actually find one for sale. None on ebay, amazon, or any other Google results I sifted through.

Tips on actually getting my hands on this watch?

They've got a couple different ones in the 50th anniversary collection that have the compass styled dial to them, the SRP413 would be my 2nd choice. But all these other models are sold out everywhere as well. Was this just a super limited run or what? I see prices at like 160-200, just all sold out.

>>10866800
Not at all.
They make dependable shit for and affordable price but their offerings these days are pretty much all solar quartz if that's what you want.

I'll counter sieg's suggestion of tissot with mido instead. Low end swatch group's less talked about memeber is far less shitty than boring ass tissot or certina imo anyway. But you'll probs be paying more in oz if you can find them at all, go online for a better deal.

Ok, I'll say Eco-Drive specifically. Chronomasters are nice, but Eco-Drives are just overall not that great of quality overall. The solar technology is decent I guess, but, like another poster said, there are better watches to buy in regard to any of their qualities in the same price range.

>>10867786
Id avoid Seiko 5 or any mainline Seiko not made in Japan which is most.

Seiko has been cutting costs and restructuring their brand so only the grand Seiko and credit lines are made in Japan in house.

Back in the day Seiko was good because the sheer amount of hand finishing and in house design and build you got for your dollar.

In an era where Rolex was producing shit like the quartz watches you had this Japanese company pumping out insane watches for a few hundred dollars.

It's a decade after seikos dominance ended. Now it's all Malaysian made divers or 7s26 movements in mainline watches and folded links when they previously would not ever make a watch with folded links.

Seikos mainline is sinking Seiko 5 sunk in the 80's

I mean I know most seiko 5's cost less than a Timex weekender and are automatic....but you're getting arcrylic crystals, arcrylic exhibition cases, plastic day/date wheels and pot metal stems


It's not a good watch.
Now if you knew more about watches I'd tell you to go find a Seiko from ~2004-2009 but chances are you'll fuck up and windup with like an orange mobster made in Malaysia for a premium thinking you found in house

I see very few watches these days that aren't waterproof, but that being said, you don't need a 100M waterproof watch unless I suppose you're using it for actual diving.

As far as the type of watch you like on the chart - I would say to just use it as a guide. Look at the examples and price ranges, and see what style you like, then do your own independent research from there.

As far as used watches go, just buy them from any reliable seller (local or otherwise) and make sure that there is some way that they can be checked to be reliable and in proper working order, such as by taking them to a shop.

>>10867868
Riiiight. Uh, I don't know how else to frame it, but I'm 20 and working a shit job in food service. So like, I just need a watch that is relatively cheap and looks alright. The compass dial is definitely my aesthetic, but if I can't get one, then whatever. But if Seiko isn't the way to go, what is for sub $200?

>>10867878
I mean I'd go for resellers only if its a luxury watch, there are some real pieces if shit out there marking up piece of shit seikos as if they're prospex/spring drive models and some unknowing kid is going to strap it to his wrist thinking he has the king shit.

Or some fuckface selling him something as a king Seiko and it turning out to be a Seiko 5 or somethibg with a dial swap.

I mean these dudes will see a non rotating bezel on a diver and not immediately see a red flag

Or see that a grand Seiko they're buying on craigslist has a brass base metal played case

This watch specifically because I am looking for a watch with a blue face and golden roman numerals as this is a contrast I enjoy quite a lot.

Citizens in general because I like their simplicity (Im not a fan of those watches that are clutered with various tertiary dials). In addition to that I also like the slimmer and less clunky design which is present in a lot of those diver style watches.

>>10867927
None of the people my age wear anything by Patek. We literally see it as either inheriting your dad's old shitty watch, or buying new because you want to look like you're from money and you inherited that shitty watch from you dad.

Literally look around at the wrist of any 20 year old guy the next time you're at Stadt or Aspen and you'll see that no one is wearing a Patek. I look fucking ridiculous if I wore this around my friends who typically wear AP, Hubs, or R. Milles.

>Seiko has been cutting costs and restructuring their brand so only the grand Seiko and credit [Credor] lines are made in Japan in house.
It's absolutely true that Seiko is moving more production offshore. So is every brand including very nice high end Swiss brands and so is every single product in any industry ever, nothing is safe from globalization and third world production. In and of itself it doesn't mean much, you can hardly avoid it and it's disappointing but it certainly isn't an absolute indicator of whether something is good or not.

I'm not sure what you mean by "in house" though, Seiko continues to be Seiko and they design and build all their stuff with their own manufacturing facilities, whether those are in Japan or Malaysia or anywhere else. They're moving production elsewhere but there's no indication that they're actually outsourcing it to other companies or anything like that (in the same way that say, TAG is buying movements and parts from Seiko or Swiss companies have historically traded movements all the time for decades like Rolex Daytonas and Patek chronos both using Valjoux ebauches and Audemars providing movements to JLC for years until they ended up owned by the same conglomerate and now JLC makes the movements for AP).

>In an era where Rolex was producing shit like the quartz watches
You mean their one quartz watch, which was excellent and had among the best quartz movements ever?

>when they previously would not ever make a watch with folded links.
I have a Seiko watch made in Japan that my dad got as a gift in 1975 and it has a folded bracelet. I also have an Omega made around 1979 with a folded bracelet too. In fact pretty much every bracelet used to be folded until solid links became popular not that long ago and suddenly became a must-have feature.

I'll even continue a bit in the next post, but I don't know why I even bother because you're just talking out your ass like you always do.

You keep repeating that shit about acrylic crystals on Seiko 5s. I have never seen one with acrylic and they certainly have not made any with acrylic this century. And by the way Seiko 5 was started as their cheap shitty entry level for poor third worlders. After quartz came around they were kept as some of the few mechanicals that Seiko kept in production because at the time quartz was still too expensive to put in the cheapest watches. They are cheap shit, nobody has ever not said that they are cheap shit. A lot of people just buy them anyway because they are one of the best options among cheap shit and one of the few reasonable decent options alongside shit like Vostok if you insist on having a mechanical movement for less than like $100.

>>10867892
Yeah I agree. I guess his fate, just like finding a deal in anything else, relies on his knowledge of the items he intends to purchase.

Also, I would say that in the ~$200 range, Seiko does have some decent options, but nothing close to their $1500+.

Personally, I'd really like to pick up an Omega Speedmaster Professional; have you ever owned one?

I think every seiko 5 ive ever handled has had a mineral glass crystal, so I dunno what that guy is on about.

>>10867983
>They are cheap shit, nobody has ever not said that they are cheap shit.

sadly this is true. a seiko 5 is actually so bad that I prefer even quartz over it any day because I don't see why I should have a self-winding automatic that just stops every now and then and doesn't keep time as well as quartz which just runs.

I imagine you're picking up Seiko 5s and thinking you have a mineral crystal when in fact you do not.

And simply flipping the watch over and seeing the printed information on the exhibition case back and you will see that it is 100% plastic.

And if you do the heat gun test you'd quickly find out that the same material is used as the watch crystal on the front side.

And looking through that plastic caseback...you will see made in Malaysia proudly displayed

Not him, but mainly technology. They make good watches and both think of and solve problems as efficiently they can.
They made inhouse movements in the 1990s and spend more time on finishing of their movements than the holy trinity. Of course a 3939 or 5270 is beautifully finished but at Lange you get the same finishing regardless if it's a time only or a grand complication - the best they can do.
That said, since Lange is now a part of Richemont I would personally absolutely not buy a new one unless I was hilariously rich and even then only to get a piece unique.

This is not just for Seiko, but for all major Japanese manufacturers.

any general thoughts on Glashutte Original?

>>10869209

Glashutte Original worst day of my life

With the death of VEB Glashutte GUB died the last 100% German made in Germany watch, bought out by literal Swatch greedy capitalists.

Their calibres are quite literally the same designs as GDR era ones but decorated with some better materials and regulation for a 1000%++ markup. This is disgusting because Swatch got their fingers on it, and they're shamelessly milking their GDR inherited patents and design

Look for example at their 1960s line, they use movements that were found in the Spezimatic with the same aesthetic but cost a huge price. And their production has contracted.

Yes I am mad, people in the former GDR are rightfully pissed that all their neat domestic industries made with adverse conditions and limited resources were bought out and destroyed

And this is on top of the fact that "German" micro labels like Stowa use Chinese cases. Swatch is fucking poison and it ruined a great company because of the everything made under communism is bad meme

Would not buy/10 on principal if you want a Glashutte made watch at least get the honest, non Swatch owned Nomos or shop elsewhere Glashutte Original is haram

>>10869332

Hardlex is Seiko's proprietary hardened mineral glass. On the Mohs hardness scale, acrylic/plexiglass is around 3-4; regular mineral glass is about 5; Seiko makes at least two different grades of Hardlex, I think they claim about 7 for the cheaper stuff in Seiko 5s and more like 8 for the Hardlex used in divers; and sapphire is 9. Sieg is a retard, as always.

>>10869061

>>10869544
Personally I don't really care if it's between hardlex and sapphire, they're both pretty damn hard and sapphire isn't strictly superior anyway since the increased hardness also means increased risk of shattering into a million sharp fragments. I have divers with sapphire and with hardlex and I've never scratched any of them. I also have no problem with acrylic, it's very easy to polish it until it looks almost brand new and I personally don't mind polishing my acrylic watches every couple of weeks to keep them fresh. The only type I really hate is regular mineral glass because it's still really easy to scratch, but unlike acrylic you can't polish it so those scratches are there forever.

swings and roundabouts really. If you do scratch a mineral glass you can buy a replacement for £2 or so and switch it in with a press without much technical ability. I've had mineral glass on my every day watch for about a year now and it's still scratch free.

Sapphire's at least £30 for a diver watch and that's at trade prices.

And by the way it dates back all the way to the very first clocks. IIII is more historically accurate to how actual Romans would've most commonly written 4, but in Rome there were really no standard rules. IV instead of IIII only came into common use a few hundred years ago.

>>10869977

How do you guys feel about Panerai, or in this case, Marina Militare homages? This one is made by Parnis with a Seagull 3600 swan neck movement, and it's pretty cheap (<$100), although I'd probably look for a slightly different one with an olive canvas strap. For reference to those of you who might say buying a "fake" is dumb: I'm not going to drop $7,000 on one. Only other watches I own currently are a Tag Heuer WK110-1, a Hamilton Khaki Pilot Day Date, and a shitty Luminox I got as a young kid.

How do you assess the quality of a watches movement?

How important are the number of "jewels" in a watch

As for jewels and quality in the movement, it depends on the maker. Jewels doesn't mean as much as it used to though.

Quartz means that the watch is battery-operated. Quartz movements can be really good actually, but at that point, you might as well be wearing a casio.

>>10870322
I have only seen 2 of them in person and fuck they're sloppy. They're assembled in china. Talking hair and fingerprints on the inside of the case. Specks of dust or oil on the movement that could drip onto the exhibition caseback.

Most people don't care about that and just wants a watch that works....but why bother with a swan neck Chinese knock off movement with an exhibition caseback if all you get is sloppy work. ? Like what's the point?

not necessarily
but don't you like the bracelet?

since that model has drilled lug holes, changing straps is infinitely easier than on later models.

if you plan on changing straps alot, order a lug tool online. it will cost you maybe 15 bucks

everytime you take your watch to the acne riddled, minimum age worker at a watch shop or jeweler they'll probably charge yo 15 or more just to change the strap

do it yourself so you don't get jewed
you also have control over it and will be more careful
these incompetents scratch the the fuck out of things all the time

of course this is dependent on where you are
if you live in a shitty area, the service will be shitty
if not, then you don't have anything to worry about

i prefer to change the shit myself, if anything than on principle.

>Should i get a lesther strap?
No. I think it looks fugly dumb on rolex sports models.
really hideous; a nato is better if you don't like bracelet

nato's are comy and colorful
they allow for a greater range of individualization

they allow better allow you to swing the face around to the inner part of your wrist on the off chance you don't want to attract any attention from the people around you
good for traveling through dodgy regions
or for not inciting jealousy in "friends" and acquaintances

nato's make any watch more casual than what they may have been before

The knockoffs have had better finishing than the real deal in the past, until one incident blew up in panerai's face and they had to backtrack and offer replacements.

They never bothered to decorate their closed caseback model, not only that, the movement was entirely, and I mean entirely, stock unregulated stuff that costs 50 bucks. In a watch edging close to 10 grand?
Brand o' cucks.

What's even more hilarious is the owners of said watch, rather than be outraged, try to justify their patronage of a shitty brand by holding onto their junk model rather than have it replaced by the factory "because it's now valuable as a collector's item".

Kek topping fuck.
It's the most hilarious thing to happen in the watch world in years and just cements the fact that panerai, and all who buy it are steaming piles of shit.

one is the apotheosis of its kind and made to the highest standards of quality by japanese keebler elves and the other retails to black people and wiggers at 300% more than what they really cost or are worth
and they look it too

How many generations until someone in the family pawns it? One? Two? Two and a half?

No, just get a rep Patek and tell them it's fucking worthless, then they're stuck with your heirloom when the pawn shop tells them to fuck off.

Also, your "Paul Allen" joke didn't even ring a tone with me because I don't think of American Psycho as some religious text to scribe over. Paul Allen to me is the business genie that my family has had lunch with while on his boat named the Octopussy. Impress dingy that guy's got.

wr200m, timing bezel, nice lume, screwdown, can legit be used in dives, not too cumbersome so 42mm or less

>>10871535
Go right ahead and buy an Orient diver or a Obris Morgan Explorer II.

Here, have $450 watch

>42mm limit
Here, have a 44mm watch

>>10871620

oversized. skx007 has always looked like a cheap watch you see on a poor indonesian tour guide.

I love how dumb this marketing strategy is.

I was initially surprised at how much these things go for.

Then I supposed that a lot of fancy engineering had to go into the movement to make it jump around random like that.

Then I saw a fake mechanical that was capable of the exact same thing.

I think the kids who argue a watch is too big...especially a divers watch which have traditionally large cases are probably too young or feminine looking to pull off a diver watch or any watch that isn't an apple watch

>>10867910

THE FUCKING SCREWS TRIGGER ME EVERY TIME

FUCK

I have a watch band I adjusted as small as it goes and it's still too big, what should I do? I was thinking maybe a small thin layer of foam to make it snug on my wrist

Is choosing a mechanical or an automatic watch over a quartz watch just something done for personal taste or fashion?

>>10874862
>a divers watch which have traditionally large cases
but that's blatantly wrong though, up until 2010s and Invicta-tier marketing most dive watches maxed around 42mm. except maybe Panerai who was aiming for Schwarzenegger crowd. Even Connery's James Bond Sub was 38mm while Goldeneye Seamasters were 36 and 41mm. The franchise that arguably launched dive watches to stardom in the first place.

Just got a GMT-Master II from my dad. It's from the late 90's and the papers/box are in a different country.

What is the first thing I should do? He hasn't serviced it since he got it, and it was an everday watch of his for a couple of years until he got a Seamaster. It's in awesome condition still.

>>10875239

>>10875271
Get it serviced, but don't get it polished or change out any parts. You have to tell the rolex service centre specifically not to. My uncle had a submariner he bought in the 60s and had serviced and they swapped out the original hands and lume markers because they had yellowed from age, decreasing the collector's value. He didn't seem to give a shit though, he was just happy it looked brand new.

>>10875271
Get it serviced. Preferably through the official service center (at least get a quote).

>>10874157
