quartz watches with absurd markups and playing off "muh luxury minimalism" are dumb because they simply arent worth that much. the markups are higher than a lot of real luxury watches on a percent basis which is hilarious.

It's a bit stupid buying a watch for a fashion brand name, most fashion watches are worth $5-20 then slapped up and hundreds of dollars because of the quartz movement.

There's nothing strictly wrong with quartz but buy a nice watch from a watch manufacturer that fits with the outfit you want to wear it with.
Seiko make a lot of good watches similar to luxury brands for reasonable prices or just go for something unique.

>>11200865

SARB ofc, though I have one too so my opinion is biased

>>11200865

I've said this before. I've had a bunch of them and they are good for the price if you care fuck all about movements. The quality and finish was outstanding when I bought them (got my first one probably fifteen years ago), but I have no idea what it's like today. That said, I think their current stuff is ugly as shit.

Still, for that money I would get a nice Hamilton or maybe a second hand Longines or Omega. Tissot has a few decent models in that price range as well.

Is this Seiko posting a joke I do not get here? This company has nothing special. These watches are nothing. They are a joke to anybody who knows just a tiny little little bit about watches.
Well in my opinion (so you all don't get offended while checking your Seiko watch)

Nobody's going to be super impressed that you have a Seiko, but I know my dad had one for over 20 years that he completed hundreds of working SCUBA dives with. Not bad for a watch he also wore every day even when he wasn't diving and didn't take great care of.

Wow, let me catch my breath, I haven't had a laugh like that in a long time... wew lad.

Seriously though, Seiko is a decent maker. It's inexpensive so anyone can buy one and they do a pretty good job at ripping off Omega, Rolex etc. etc. with their designs so they look alright too.

If you're not wealthy, then it's a safe bet. A good 7/10 watch for a 10/10 price.

>>11203339

>>11203629
>jewelry isn't about being seen
ayy lmao, but I'll leave that part alone

It's pretty simple mang. Expensive automatics are just too nice to wear all the time, so I've got a "high-end" quartz dive watch to wear as jewelry/status symbol to impress the 99% of people who don't have any clue how nice the inside of an automatic is. The nice watch goes on when people are likely to appreciate it and nothing's going to happen to damage it. Or just when I'm chilling at the house.

Just a balancing of priorities.

Caring about image is good within limits and that's why we're all talking about fashion. This notion that it's some pure form of expression where social status doesn't come into play is beyond silly

>>11203681

>Caring about image is good within limits
Except you clearly are beyond those limits. To the point that you actually have a literal plan about which watch to wear based on how impressed you think others will be by what you choose to wear on a set day.

You have a mental illness. Get help.

>>11203719
Dude I just have a relatively expensive beater for when I'm not wearing my nice watches. Still not sure why that hurts your feelings so badly unless you're taking the reasoning behind having a relatively expensive anything as some sort of personal insult.

>>11203731
Alright guy, post the tag.

>>11201254
Definitely right. The case is of the quality of the Grand Seikos that cost well into the 6 figures. Hacks, hand winds, 100m WR and fellow watch lovers will spot it out right away.

Doesn't bother me in the least. What you do has no effect on me. I'm posting for YOUR benefit. You have some serious problems which need addressing.

I imagine your life must be fraught with anxiety..

As someone who genuinely knows watches, I'll let you in on a little secret. 99.9% of people will not even look at your watch.

of the 0.1% that will, I'd say approximately 90% have absolutely no idea about watches and could probably only name one brand of watch; Rolex.

So you are wasting an awful lot of time and money trying to impress someone that you will statistically never meet.

Well that's just objectively false since people start conversations about watches other than Rolex all the time, including my Tag and Patek. Heck, I saw someone ask a girl about a Cartier last weekend and another about her fucking Fossil at the same party. I mean I'm sure we run in different circles since you're British and all, but still.

I was in japan recently and was having a look at some domestic stock Seikos. Was interested in a SARB035/033 but honestly I wasn't overly impressed with either, the cream face of the 035 looked strange on and the black face on the 033 did nothing for me. It's like they both lacked some personality.
I actually preferred the SARY055 despite it not having a lume and having a lower quality movement to the SARB's, to me it just presents nicely.

Honestly I was too but you'll get used to it.

You really only need to memorize half the face of the watch any way, since after "30" (well half past X), the other half is a mirror of the first, except what you read then becomes "how long until the next hour" instead of "how much time has passed since the previous began"

5 past one has 5 TO two in front of it, same for 10 past and ten to, a quarter past and a quarter to, etc. It's also kind of a different conception of time compared to a digital watch, you're really reading in chunks of time most of the time, instead of looking at exactly how many minutes have passed.

Not that you can't be as precise with it but unless i'm trying not to be late for work I look at it differently than when I look at the clock on my phone.

>>11212190
The various shades of gold is dependent on your skintone.

If you for example have very rosy undertones then a reddish gold wouldn't be a good idea.

What color are the veins in the underside of your wrist?
Blue?
Or reddish?

>>11212247
Oh, and on that, if you're a blackie or whatever and can't see any veins at all then stick with yellow gold.
I'm assuming you're some paler shade of taro.

>>11212247
blue, and some girl once told me i had cool undertones to my skin and that i should wear "winter" colors. she could've been full of shit, but maybe not?

>>11212303
Tbh, probably should stick to silver tones.

Still, only way to tell is to wear the thing and judge for yourself.

I really like rose gold, and can only just get away with it. Not yellow though. Never yellow (or green - not that there's much in mens accouterments that come in that).

Stay away from really yellow stuff. And you should be fine.

Depends also on with what you're intending to wear the watch.
A t-shirt, shorts and skate shoes vs button up, trousers and oxfords would affect the perception of how suitable it would be.

It's a Soviet divewatch that holds pretty good time and you'll find it impossible to break.

black face would probably be more versatile, white faces are more dressy (you can dress it down further by changing the strap, too, but Bambinos have weird odd numbered lug widths so you might have trouble finding a properly fitting strap)

all you need is to know the lug width so you can get a new band that fits and a tiny screwdriver, like the ones in eyeglasses repair kits, to get at the spring bars (just be careful not to scratch anything). you can also buy a springbar tool for like ~$5 or something if you don't think you can keep a steady hand

Kickstarter watch. Slim, self-winding mechanical watch. Old school 36 mm diameter.

>>11239855
how new are you? i wouldn't normally spoonfeed you this basic shit you can easily google but it's an excuse to bump the thread.

an automatic is a mechanical watch that winds itself as you wear it from the movements of your wrists/arm

black dial means just that. that the face of the watch (the part you look at to tell time, the part with the hands and hour markings) is black

>>11240521
Pretty new, sorry. As I said, I've never spent this much money on a watch before, I just buy whatever is affordable and looks nice. I don't know much about watches and still don't understand how a watch can be wound whilst wearing it, or even know what winding really is, as I assumed that watches run off batteries.

Thanks for explaining it.

>>11240555
battery powered (quartz) watches have only been around since the late 1950s

automatics have a weight inside them, the rotor, that moves around with movement of your wrist that winds the watch, mechanically powering it to run and keep time

quartz watches are more accurate and cheaper than mechanical watches, which lose or gain time every day (usually not very much depending on the quality of the watch, but either way you'll be resetting regularly) and will require care and attention along with some maintenance as the years go. the attraction of mechanical watches is mainly on the engineering side of things as they are rather complex for how small they are, and as a whole are just way more interesting due to the crafting, history, intricacies, watchmakers, etc.

but if all you want is accuracy and looks, there are plenty of good quartzes to choose from and are a better bet than cheap automatics for the most part

Do a favor to yourself and don't buy it. It's a 100% chink made watch with a made-up history pretending to be German. Very bad overall quality and cheap chink movement that won't last long.
Btw it looks like another chink Rolex rip-off.
And:

>100m

That's shit for a "diver" and I'm sure it wouldn't even survive a 50m dive.

Or maybe should I get this one instead?

>>11241728
Ye figured it's cheap, not really a richboi though. Guess it would be better than some Swatch or nothing at all.

It's 200m by the way.

How'd I do

this watch makes my pee pee hard.

>>11240995
Looks solid and better than most, but I just hate every diver ever. They all look like something out of golfer's digest.

Post good Panerai homages

That feeling when I put accidentally put my great-grandfather's gold Jaeger Lecoultre Master through the washing machine...

Gonna be pricey as hell to fix, so I've just been wearing my Rolex Submariner (Oyster Perpetual Date) that my father gave me when I turned 18.

I feel weird about having nice watches when I don't know much about watches.

as somone with girl wrists i've always had trouble finding a watch that could look good on me because 95% of them look too huge. surprisely i found this watch that fits okay on my skinny wrists.
So yeah this is my first watch, next time i cop a watch ill get a Skagen, i heard they're good for dudes with skinny wrists

u should check out seiko.
maybe seiko 5 (milions of options) cheap, small, classy

>>11219265

w2c? Model name?

>>11246516

look up seiko 5 military on amazon. cheap sub 70 bucks down from like 130 and look even better on a nato strap or anything leather cheap to high grade. decent intro field watch. check out timex weekender too

>>11229206
I have one, hate the bracket, love the watch.

>>11246516
original poster here.

Amazon. model nr. is SNK803 (beige), SNK 805 (green), SNK809 (black), SNK807 (blue)

those are Seiko 5 automatic watches.

>>11246635
>timex weekender

shitty watch that ticks too loudly and lacks most features of that particular Seiko 5. the Seiko 5 is a better choice in every way.

I hate the Citizen's hands, and the 12 marker just annoys me. boctok wins.

>>11248404
I really wanna know who designs watches for Citizen because more often than not, those are the ugliest and most boring looking watches ever.
