Just get a seiko 5 or one of the nicer JDM ones. So many choices.

Casio edifice has a lot of cheap options and a nice speedmaster clone.

Also Nixon. I always thought they were garish junk watches until my gf bought me a $500 one that left me very impressed with the finish and machining quality. Still a 200M watch with bezel markings going the wrong way and no lume kek. The sleeker ones look nice doe.

From what I know it's a small watch company from Chicago.

Not wrong I guess, except for those fashion brands in parentheses after high level, hope that's a typo, they don't make high level watches. You're also missing Ulysse nardin and A Lange and sohn, should go in high and extra high, respectively.

Good luck brug, tanks are my fav by Cartier, are you going for those or like santos or a round option

Also, r8 my collection. Nixon is out of battery, don't wear it. Next I want a swatch sistem51 in pink and an old Seiko 6139 pogue.

No you wouldn't. You would side-eye the dude wearing it, and panic glance away if the two of you even came close to making eye contact.

Medium Level?

Tissot: cranks their shit out and upsells it. Tissot is a commercial brand that mass produces a quality watch but one that is inferior in tech, materials and averages at $400 per watch.

Raymond Weil: Last of the independent Swiss Watchmakers. Sell exclusively upmarket. Their finer models sell for up to $5,000.

SevenFriday: Shitbagger newbies who want to break into the market. On same mass-production belt as Tissot.

I have extremely skinny wrists. Like as thin as a petite girl. I've never owned a watch simply because they always fit so big.

I haven't met anyone who cares about watches in real life. I know people who have expensive ones, sure, but they only bought them because they're expensive, not because of their love for the movement or company or history.

No one really cares about the details on your watch, just the general shape of it (strap type and color, size on wrist).

I'm wearing Seiko 5s because that's all I can justify spending on what's essentially jewelry while still being bulletproof and convenient.

I might get a diver at some point for a few hundred euros, but even that will be hard for me to justify instead of just giving the money to charity or buying something more functional.
>>
>>11675233
Yeah plebs won't care about your watch. These are the people that are literally shit at life and don't know much about anything. They'll be impressed with any watch that looks expensive.
But if you hangout at exclusive places such as: fashion events, galas, exclusive country clubs, high end bars / clubs then its safe to say the people there will know shit about watches.

>>
>>11676597

I don't like blue because I'm pretty autistic about matching colors and I don't wear blue too much.

I think you'd have to switch out the strap for that too.

The bambino looks generally good. I prefer the versions that have the markers you posted, but at the same time, because they're minimal as opposed to the other versions which have roman numerals, they make the watch look like an oversized one and the dial like a huge empty area.

This is why I didn't get a black one myself and went with the seiko despite loving all the other details.

thats not the back of a daniel wellington, fool, thats my nomos tangente 38. tell it to the people buying DWs, not me. Nomos isn't chink owned, or swiss made, it's got a bonafide German in house movement; you really must have some sort of retardation, i just cant figure who your post could be constructively responding to. Steinharts are vastly more expensive than daniel wellingtons; steinharts are less than half the price of a nomos bc its shit comparatively, anyone can put a 2824-2 in a sub knockoff case and call it swiss watch making

Every time I post that people ask about that, I hope it doesn't turn into a meme.

It's an SNXS79, it's also available in other colorways, google for Seiko SNXS and you'll get the other color numbers as well. I was between the silver sunburst and grey sunburst dial, went with the grey (79).

I think I'll wear it with a khaki 2piece zulu strap.
>>
>>11682108
Thanks, it's a good looking and unusual seiko 5. With the blue tritium-eske lume and all. Would be even better if they did away with the seiko5 crown and put in a normal one at 3oclock.

Does it come with the blue lume as stock? Because I see pictures of it with green lume.

What's the easiest way to remove the initial metal links? I'm assuming it's held in by a spring bar in the lugs.

Do I need a tool? I used a knife with a $40 watch to depress the bar, but I'd rather not use a knife for anything more than $100. And I don't want to go to a jeweler for something so simple
>>
>>11682317

I'm going to try with a screwdriver when I get the watch (it's a 60 euro watch so no big risk anyway). I don't think it's easy to scratch the case in a way that is visible anyway from doing that. There's a tool designed to do that actually, but it looks almost like a screwdriver anyway, and I got a new set of small screwdrivers last week so I might as well use them.

>>11682122

I don't know yet, actually, I'm waiting on mine still, it might just be the picture temperature making it look blue in that picture, although I'd prefer that. I don't really notice the lume on my other watch, so I don't care much about that.

The 5 logo is ugly, ideally I'd have no day/date, no 5 logo and a bit pointier hands, and this would honestly be my ideal watch regardless of price.

At this point, it doesn't make sense for me to buy something much more expensive, I do hope there will be a SARB with a sunburst dial at some point though, since they share similar aesthetics but SARBs don't feature days and, obviously, the 5 logo.

Ah I see. I don't mind the day/date window though. It's actually the most useful complication for me, I always forget the date.
I would love these if they were 40mm instead of 38mm. My old seiko5 feels a bit small compared to my other watches.

This guy makes his SNKL45 look pretty good too.

I never care for the date much unless I'm on my computer/phone sending emails anyway, I hate having to reset the day and date, I don't like it visually. I don't think I will ever buy an expensive watch with that complication (or probably any other as I don't have a functional need for them and I don't like them aesthetically).

I prefer smaller watches, but I have thin wrists and a rather thin frame, so these feel like they fit me more, I could see myself wearing a bigger diver if I had different proportions.

I like the hand shape on that more than the one I'm waiting on, and the black day/date, but I don't like red details if I can avoid them, and I think models like that aren't as dirt cheap as the one I got.

I wish Seiko could make a jaeger lecoultre master control clone-like watch with a 7s26 movement without the 5 on the dial, I'd probably buy 2 or 3 of them and wear them throughtout my lifetime since honestly I don't need much more feature-wise.

Look good. Older watches tend to be smaller. I've got a tiny wrist as well, 6.5". The Rolex Submariner fits great on me. If you can find one similar in size (40mm) then it'd probably look good.

Check out Seiko, or Casio if you're broke as fuck. Blue might be harder to get. Omega runs some nice blue diver's watches, IIRC.

As a teacher, there's plenty of reason to have a watch. You don't want to be fumbling around on your phone to keep track of the time at any moment.

>You have five minutes
>oh wait hold on let me put in the time
>shoot wrong button, have to re-enter the time

plus it sets a bad example to students to fiddle on their phone because you are doing it. I would assume people in other businesses where cordial behavior and time management is key have good reason to have a nice watch.

Seiko 5 series has plenty of options you are looking for anon. Something almost exactly like that, except cheaper made and different brand.

New and taxes in is about 7k CDN. You could probably find a decent used one for about 4k

Is there a minimalist Seiko?

What can I get that look as good as a Daniel Wellington or Brathwait, but that it's not from a "shitty fashion brand"?

Ask yourself this: Why would a reputable watch company make a watch that looks like one from a shitty fashion brand?

As I said, a watch might be useful to you but there's little reason to justify spending more than 50-100 euros on one unless you want to signal you have money. You can find pretty watches at that money, you can find functional watches at that money.

You can get seiko 5s that look similar, they will last you almost a lifetime as well.

I received my SNXS yesterday, the watch that I talked about earlier in this thread, which also comes with a blue dial but I got the sunburst grey instead.

As far as I can see, it's perfectly made, nothing misaligned, keeps time very well and is very shiny in a pretty way. I didn't expect this to be this flawless for 60 pounds.

It's rather small (I like small watches) and while I was sure I'd swap the bracelet out, because I don't like bracelets and because it's supposedly trash, I was pleasantly surprised to find people consider it trash because it's very very thin and thus comfortable, which is the main reason I wanted to switch it out, so I might end up keeping it on.

Unless you're a watch enthusiast, doing it as an investment or want to signal you have money, there's little reason to pick up a rolex to achieve that aesthetic.

My phone camera is terrible so this is the best I could do.
