>>12031575
I own both the left (in a different color) and the right and I'm telling you, go with the left. It's a really nice watch for the price. The right one has too many little annoyances like the minute hand not moving for ~30 seconds after you set the time

Can you find a nicer watch.
Protip: you might

>>12032064
Depends, automatic watches are associated with good taste and high quality also collectioners prefer them over quartz movement but there're much more expensive. You can find a really nice looking quartz watch for a half of the price of automatic one and most of the people will not even see a difference betwen them.

>>12033695
super sick OG Seiko and an orange face?

oh yes.

>>12033277
You have the ideal wrist size for watches.

The iconic watch must-haves are all in the 34mm-41mm range.

I have huge wrists, and can only really rock 40mm-42mm (I'm starting to dislike larger watches).

>>12033034

What type of watch are you into? (Dress, field, pilot, diver, chronometer, pocket.)

Do prefer stainless/white gold/platinum or yellow gold?

Do you require a round dial, or are you open to square/rectangular dials?

Do you want a bracelet? (Even if it's not your primary band, if you think you'll use it, get it.)

How big is your wrist?

Are you OK with buying used?

I really like the look of the Omega Aqua Terra with a blue dial, went and tried it on and it's gorgeous but unfortunately out of my price range.

My budget is probably more around $2900 - $3000 USD

Stainless steel for sure, I think that gold (especially yellow) often looks tacky and platinum is out of my price range.

Round dial only, don't like square / rounded dials

I tried on a few different bracelets from mesh to NATO to steel and leather, I think that I'd like steel or leather.

My wrist is 6.5" circumference but I'm very thin at the moment so once I get back into the gym it'll grow, I tried on 38mm and 42mm watches and the 42s looked fine.

I'd very much prefer a new watch, the only used I could accept would be if it were in literally flawless condition, I hate the idea of buying second hand goods

Thanks for your help :)

Thoughts on Stuhrling and Invicta?
Looking for a cheap divers watch and this caught my eye but invicta gets better reviews

>>12038759
The SKX013 is perfect for you. It's smaller than the 007. It's out of production, but you can still find them new with tags on eBay.

I've bought from this seller before with no problems. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Seiko-SKX013K2-Diver-Black-Dial-Stainless-Steel-Mens-Watch-/112159659997

>>12039436
what's your budget? make sure it's a good movement (Seiko/ETA)

there are tons of micro brands with good watches (sapphire/good automatic/good finish) for really affordable prices, because there are so many micro brands in competition.

>>12036745
fuck what watch snobs say -- orient/Seiko/citizen are awesome. the value:cost ratio is amazing. I know Rolex aficionados who rock Seikos proudly and regularly.

you can't go wrong. just do your research about reviews, movement, sapphire vs. mineral etc.

How about a TAG Heuer Aquaracer?

https://www.tagheuer.com/en-us/watches/aquaracer-calibre-5-automatic-watch-40-5-mm-way2112-ba0928

>>12039436
They're both really bad brands. Stuhrling QC is legendarily bad. Invicta is a horrible brand - you'll find their logo on the case, the clasp, the crown, the dial, the second hand, ... But some Invicta watches do use decent movements (believe they have one based on the Seiko NH35 now) and mechanically will be fine.

Seiko Turtle/SKX007 or Orient Mako/Ray are standard baby's first mechanical diver.

I've heard some not so good things about the plastic quartz watches, but the reviews for the divers have been pretty much universally excellent. The prices are also pretty decent considering the materials that you're getting.

Bought this at a pawn shop for $90. Sent it to Spencer Klein to be restored, keeping it as original as possible. The crown design on these prevents them from being 100% waterproof after a while, which I was paranoid about, so I sold it for ~$1200. The restoration cost about $400 with the replica rubber strap, so it was still an enjoyable experience. I used the money I made to buy a quartz Breitling to wear as a beater.

Yes. Get a Seiko SKX009 instead. For about $50-$75 more, you get a much better watch. It's the same as the popular SKX007.

the skx007/009 is water proof to 200 instead of the 100 meters from the seiko five. they both sport the same 7s26 movement however the seiko five has a backcover window but i find that to be unnecessary. all in all both are fantastic for the price but i find the 200m waterproofness to be the main sellingpoint for me

>>12044090
I dont really need that much WR thought if the 007/9 has a screw down crown that would be nice but I dont really want to pay more than that because 125$ is already me reaching as deep as I can in my pocket because I live in a slav yuropoor country
I just want a nice proper watch I can daily and seems like the diver is my best option

>>12044106
i understand you pal. but both are fantastic so go for it also the skx is rising in price right now thanks to seiko stopping the production of them wich is sad

>>12044247

The SKX009 has a screw-down crown and is water resistant to greater depths (200m vs. 100m on the SNZF15).

It has an almost identical movement (7S26) to the SNZF15 (7S36). The only difference is the 7S36 has two more jewels, which I don't think do anything. That said, I have three Seiko automatics: an SKX013 (7S26), an SNK809 (7S26) and an SNZH55 (7S36). The one with the 7S36 keeps shit time, and I don't ever wear it. I might just have a dud, though.

I also think the 009 looks cooler. The crown is at 4 o'clock; I like the bezel, dial and hands more; and I like the five-link bracelet better, though don't expect it to be as rigid as a real jubilee.

Personally I'm always looking for perfection and for me it's not perfect because I don't like the red hands and print on the bottom. I'd also prefer if the date colors were inversed. I'm not copping pic related for the same autistic reasons.

However if it's perfect for you and you love it then cop. Junkers is decent as far as I know, but overpriced. Also some lines of their collection are made by the same factory with the same parts that make Ruhla watches for half the price. So keep that in mind. Maybe check what movement is in there and compare the price to other ones running the same.

I see a lot of cheap parts-only movements on Ebay I could grab to practice on, but I have no idea where the best starter tools are or what kind of money I should set aside. I know Harbor Frieght has the parts for taking apart the case and undoing the links on the band, but that's as much as I want to trust their tools.

Bambino because I don't like it when there are big numbers and clunky hands on a chronograph. But that's just a matter of taste. Also a timeless automatic is always a great choice.

Look into the Orient Monterey, it seems like a good compromise between them two. It runs the same movement and casing as the Seiko and has a similar design, but doesn't look as bulky because it has a domed crystal like the Bambino.

What's the closest thing I can find to the IWC pilot's watch, around Mark 15 style. The dial is a thing of beauty to me, I need to rip it off.

>>12058463
You say that, like it's a bad thing. Citizen makes Miyota movements for the watch industry, and while inexpensive, they are metal and extremely accurate quartz movements (over the mostly plastic Chinese knockoffs that aren't accurate and often fail).

A lot of serious collectors that keep top end mechanical and automatic watches in their cases, and wear a Seiko or a decent Orient quartz watch as their daily wear beater. They look good, and if the case and crystal are high quality stainless and sapphire, they last a long time without a lot of tuning and maintenance. When they eventually fail, replacing the Miyota movement is literally dirt cheap, and easy enough that any decent local watch repair shop can swap it out for a new one. When a top tier Swiss mechanical movement fails or starts to lose accuracy, it will cost you a lot more to repair or replace that movement, and you have to return it to the factory or find a reliable shop that specializes in mechanical Swiss watch repair!

Ive got a flawless vintage Hamilton and a Breitling dress watch that are brought out for special occasions, but my daily beater is a Citizen quartz that can take a beating, and still looks perfectly nice for casual wear.

Go well with either insane amounts of money or a fedora and fingerless hacking gloves. There's really no middle ground.

Nice piece of watch imo, if you can grab it for a reasonable price, don't think twice.

I also have one but it's too classic, I almost never wear it.

Pic related is mine, gets loads of compliments but as a timekeeper it's a piece of shit. Gains about 5 minutes or more every hour. Maybe you'll have more luck with yours.

Hamilton have loads of nice fliegers for around that price, Sinn if you can push the boat out a bit.

CWC or Maratac for something less flashy and completely functional.

Are g shocks effay?

the rule is never get a designer / fashion branded watch. Why get a watch where their efforts are focused in other things? If you care about quality then get a watch where the maker puts 100% of their effort into making watches.

What do you guys think of Stock Watches

>>12060131
They certainly take their design cues from the Junghans Max Bill.

Looks nice but I'd say just get a Braun, or an unbranded knockoff from eBay if you really care about muh minimalism.

His gf bought the watch for him you asshat. She probably doesn't know anything about watches. It looks good. He knows it's made in china. He asked if it looks good. And it does. Don't be a dick just because you don't have a gf.

No, that's why I'm saving up for one. My sister has one and I need to hold it every time we see each other.

It really is too nice.

>>12031885

All you had to do was type in "black steel casio" and this comes up with a little bit of light digging.
