Thank you, it's pretty beat up - you can see lots of scratches on the aluminum bezel, some deep gouges on the bezel and oyster bracelet. Still, it's basically the first nice watch I've ever gotten.

I'm very pleased that it's the older sort of Submariner, actually, the crown guards are about half as thick as you can see in the picture.

Still looking for more advice about NATO straps and possibly removing the cyclops, I hear the latter is heresy for Rolexes.

>>10901144
Nice Sub! Love the Holes Case probably either a 16800 or early 16610! I wouldn't remove the cyclops! If you do not want one but still want a date get a Sea-Dweller or if you prefer no date then a 114060 would be perfect and it would be ceramic and have glide lock etc. Has it ever been serviced? If it has not I would go to your nearest AD or service center and send it in ASAP! Rolex always calls about price before they ever work on the watch. It will come back all minty and running like a champ. As far as a strap change the sky's the limit! 20 MM lug width everyone makes straps for these things!. Good luck!

Suggestions for women's watches? Looking to buy one for my mum.

For that price you could have gotten a better soviet vintage watch. You could even get OP's watch for 40€ if you find the right auction, at least here in Europe.

>>10907612

Point taken, I did see some better ones, but that one suits my current style a bit more. Also, being outside of Europe does make it even more challenging.

>>109012970 I've got the red leather strap but wish i got the gold mesh. You can buy and replace most of their straps apart from the metal ones. Sad times.

>>10908844
Just look on eBay for the following Soviet/Russian brands: Poljot, Raketa, Pobeda, Vostok, Chaika, Luch, Slava...
There are lots of different styles with a lot of history and incredibly good movements for a really cheap price. OP's watch is a really special model because it has a unique 24 hour movement, as you can see the dial has 24 indexes instead of 12, this watch was designed for Arctic explorers or submarine crew that couldn't really tell if it's am or pm in their environments.

>>10899468
I'm more partial to the black dial edition, but absolutely plan to cop soon.

I'm not home to see it in person, but my Big Zero finally arrived and I have a photo of it. How did I do?

I'm pretty sure both of the straps that came with it are probably going to be garbage, so what should I replace them with? I think the brown leather with white stitching actually looks pretty good so I might just get something that looks exactly like that but from Hirsch or Crown and Buckle. I'm open to other suggestions, though. Maybe some sort of two-piece cloth strap in brown or olive green?

Rolexes are boring, but also pretty /fa/, as long as your not wearing a two tone datejust like some geriatric, balding, ex used car salesman.

I got an explorer ii when I was 22. Fact of the matter is, very few people are into watches and will actually notice. Wear it, get it pressure tested every year, and get it serviced every five years.

NATO straps on 40mm oysters look like dogshit IMO. Leave the bracelet, and leave the cyclops. You're just gonna kill the resale value if you have it removed, and make it harder for yourself to read the date.

thoughts on this Casio?
do you think the bezel makes it look like a watch only old men would wear?

only other thing I'm worried about is the size of this crown because I'm left-handed and wear watches on my right wrist so I don't want that crown to be huge and cut into my arm or something.

I'm generally not a big fan of fluted or engine turned bezels but that one actually looks pretty subdued and nice. I think it's actually pretty nice and I assume it's cheap too but it doesn't look super cheap and plasticky like a lot of Casios.

I have the tiniest and most skelly wrists in town.
Inherited this from my grandfather. It's 18k gold so I don't wear it every day but... You can probably cop one for a few hundred £. The face of the clock is only 3cm, and it's really slim.

Definitely do not remove the cyclops, you will never ever be able to resell it properly. I think NATOs look fine desu, and you could keep the bracelet from further damage.

>>10901144
A few scratches make the watch look tough, with a history behind. Remove the bracelet and the Cyclops and you turn a piece of art into a new rich piece of shot, like a rapper with a watch full of counterfeit diamonds. Keep the watch as it is, believe me.

>>10915406
thanks for the input, anon.
I think about getting it. yeah, it's cheap and looks good. it's only 40 bucks anyway. the only thing I don't like that much is that the case is apparently made out of brass (which I don't like as much as steel or titanium) but the caseback is stainless steel at least. so I don't know if brass become disgusting or corroded or something due to sweat or whatever acids.

Don't know much about watches, but I got this for my 21st birthday this year. I couldn't even find it on their site, so I have no idea where my grandfather found it.

>>10919589
There should be a sku on the back or in the box that came with the watch, try searching that.

i feel like that brand is unknown enough that it doesn't make too much sense for people to lie about having it to seem rich - since majority of people won't even know it's an expensive watch

>>10920710
plenty is wrong.

>only has resin case with chrome plating
>the older ones have shitty lights and no EL backlighting.
>no mineral glass, only plastic so it gets scratches pretty easily.

I'd only look at G-shock and their newer models like the poptone ones (although they are also pretty ugly but whatever)

That bezel on the sapphire version looks absolutely fucking disgusting, get the acrylic one. Also make sure it's 38mm and not 42mm. I had one for a few months, it was a pretty nice little watch.

Good first budget watch or shit looking?

>>10923930
the looks aren't the problem.
the loud ticking is. not a fan of black dials either but it's a taste thing. at least it has indiglo but a date window wouldn't hurt. case looks simple and nice but that strap probably sucks. leather > nato strap.

>>10924069
ugh its loud? that's bad but i do like the strap

>>10924091
>ugh its loud?

very. Timex watches unless it's chronographs and digitals are fucking ticking loudly and it's annoying. same thing with swatches.

if you like the strap you could still find any other watch you like and just buy an additional black nato strap and put that on instead. it's a good strap investment anyways and goes with everything if you buy a few more watches in the future.

>>10924098
alright famo thanks i'll keep looking

>>10924108
yeah, look for watches japanese movements like seiko/pulsar/lorus, casio or citizen/miyota movements because they are usually less loud.

SARB looks good in black or white but I think the white SARX looks awful, the black one is so much better. They're both good watches though. Get the SARB if you want something very low-key or the SARX if you want something a bit bigger and more flashy.

>>10923434
no

>>10900845
wear it and dont make a big deal about it

if someone starts to give you real shit just tell them it's a fake or something

>>10901144
the worn look on the aluminum bezel gives it character imo just like wearing raw denim until you put your own fade on it or a nice tan leather darkened by use. I would wear it as is and continue to develop the character. Honestly if i had a nice watch like that i'd be too pussy to wear it out but it looks good on you *thumbs up*

I don't think a nato strap would look out of place. I actually wear my dive watch with a nato because i feel like the SS bracelet is too flashy for the clothes i usually wear.

W2c German watches from the Nazi era.

>>10925250
Pretty much like the german watches pre-nazi era and just post nazi era.

Watch development didn't really progress in that decade.

Just a whole bunch of german brands were seized by the GDR govt and forced to amalgamate into a soviet compound mess.

You want a nazi watch so bad buy some cheap chinese piece of shit, remove the crystal and paint a swastika on it.

There's you nazi era watch.

Got it in local store,for some reason I dislike the idea of ordering watch online since I want to put it on my wrist first and see how it suits me.
Anyway,I was at first looking for this one but they didn't have it atm (could order it from the store directly) but then I fell in love with the one I posted earlier.

Finally got my slavshit, had a few hiccups with the original "leather" strap disintegrating as soon as I put it on and with a screw coming loose but now it seems to be running ok and it looks pretty cool.

>>10926216
of course not really, dickwad

>>10926234
Just googled some of them with prices.
They sure are above price range of my Sector but they are really nice,exactly what I like. Will keep them in mind next time, but will also save more money for next watch. This one was a balance between quality,good look and my (a bit low for some serious stuff) budget. Thanks for advice

How /fa/ are wooden watches?

I wear a lot of earth tones so metal and plastic watches look weird

>>10927379

I might not object to wood elements of a watch as a concept, but every example I've seen is a cringeworthy failure

Nice. I'm gonna pick up the black dial variant soon and stick it on a black leather nato.

>>10927379
>>10927387

yeah I haven't seen any good wood pieces, if you wear earth tones then get either grey or a navy watch,
