i have no clue about higher class watch manufacturers. Is this a decent buy? It´s 479€ and would be my first higher class watch. Is this a decent manufacturer?

Expensive Seiko? But it also lose the new look after some years like a cheaper watch.

>>12568564
What model is this?

>>12568574
I'd say there is no reason to go over $300 for a watch.
Get either a Seiko that will do the job, or get some sweet swiss that goes over the $1000 if you want to show off.

Also, that is a 'dressy' watch. Are you always dressed for that? Since you can't wear it with anything short of business casual.

>>12567365

I just bought pic related used. Tudor and Sinn were some other options I considered. Maybe you would like the Omega Aqua Terra, or a Speedmaster is always a safe bet. JLC is an excellent brand for dressier watches, if you stick to their simpler watches in steel then $6k can get you a Reverso or something. Grand Seiko is excellent, too.

If you're not going to spend the money to buy a in house made watch I would stick with seiko or a citizen. Nothing against the watch you posed I'm just saying they make the best quality watches for that price range.

My nigger. You will be underappreciated in this thread of plebes.

My autism won't let me get anything but the stop2go model though. It's the nontraditional pause at every hour that makes this design, IMO.

Mondaine isn't a powerhouse of mechanical movements so it's not a drawback that it's HAQ in my view. Anyway, love the Bauhaus.

>>12568574
>Is this a decent buy? It´s 479€

Fredrique Constant is not a real famous watchmaker, it's just adopting the style of them (looks like Patek in this case). It's not a replica maker, it's its own thing, but it's not prestigious at all. Will anyone care? Only watch people will care.

But maybe YOU care. And you should be happy about the watch if you plunk down ~500 EUR. First of all realize they drop immensely in the second hand market. It's not an "investment" at all. But, use that. Buy yours second hand and it'll hurt less.

If you can stretch to 1000 EUR you can find vintage watches from bigger names within reach. Check out the listings on chrono24 to get an idea if you're interested.

Great choice with a very uncommon sub dial and askew date window. Very cool.

Model is: SSA291

does anyone know where I can try to find a discontinued Seiko for retail. I know some people who email some Japanese sellers who locate watches that were never sold and sell it for retail and not the inflated price.

Guys is this the nicest cheap as fuck field watch on the market right now?
Around 50 shekels for a Seiko movement, classic design, and 100m water resistance.
Is there any reason not to cop this as a summer outdoor watch? Are there any alternatives to this one?

>>12570206
They're $5 watches.
You can just buy them from a chinese manufacturer with the logo and everything.
Really should've asked first.

>>12570219
Why not just go for a Timex if you like the style?

>>12570290
Loud ticking, they're not suitable for swimming, and the last Timex I had fell apart after a year.
Mostly the water resistance though.

>>12570206
no problem, dude.
maybe you can still get one if you want to later or even replace it.
different colors and such too. but yeah, Lorus is always nice because it's a Seiko brand and one of the most affordable entry level brands. this one has a second hand too whereas the DW one doesn't.

nope. great watch.

>Are there any alternatives to this one?
sure, but Lorus/Pulsar/Seiko and such would still be better. I saw a nice Casio field watch (it's plastic however) too and some Citizen ones. But Lorus is great because most have 100m WR whereas most other brands don't. I see this all the time when I browse for new watches on amazon.

>>12570288
this is kind of a bad post because you didn't even say that these fakes are from aliexpress.

Question:

I want a dress watch that is not too flashy and not too cheap looking but I do not have much to spend.

I have a nice Orient, which goes well to my clothes, but I want something more elegant.

And I want it to be a Seiko 5. I thought about pic related with a nice dark brown, high quality leather strap. I can buy it on amazon for 70 euros and would budget in the same amount for a leather strap.

Has anyone any experience with this particular model? Would you recommend it?

>>12572018
I'm personally not a fan of putting a strap on a watch with that case shape, since it's designed to mate neatly onto a bracelet. Most real dress watches will have thinner and straighter lugs instead of that sculpted Oyster style. As far as the watch itself, every Seiko 5 has the same movement and they're basically the same quality. It should be a good value for the money and look good, if that's the style you want then go for it. I used to have a different Seiko 5 and it was nice enough.

See pic related for what I mean about dress watch lugs. Also this watch is on a Hirsch strap, I think if I remember right it was like $50 or so and it looks great.

>>12572623
That is one point that really annoys me, too. I understand they target the market with those metal bracelets, but they could make it a little easier to exchange it to leather and still have it look natural.

btw, love that vintage omega. there is one store that sells those near where I live, I always walk past. but thats to expensive for now...

Any recommendations for brands that have good automatic movements? Budget is $600 and below. I only have a Timex Weekender and a Seiko SSC081P1 that I alternate between. They are good watches but they do have their flaws, notably both are quartz and the Timex has a fairly loud tick.

I felt the same way about the 114270 vs the 214270. I bought a used 114270 and I don't regret it at all, so I would say go for the old Sub if you like it better. Rolex is really shitting up their classic designs these days, sure it's cool that there's lots of high tech materials and little upgrades in the latest models but that doesn't matter if the watch is ugly and oversized.

Hey ya cunts, first time on /fa/.

I'm after a minimalist type watch like brathwait or daniel wellington look alike. I need a date indicator and the thinner the watch the better, in 38mil because of thin wrists. But I'm getting issues finding the right one.

I absolutely love the brathwait but the one with date indicator they got is like 350$, and my budget is more around 200$-230 top.

I like the daniel wellington as well and I would get one if I wasnt paying 200$ for a 10$ quartz cheap mecanism. And since I'm in that budget, I guess I can get something better than quartz (I don't have an issue with quartz either, just don't want to be scammed).

I'm not fixed on the price as I wouldn't mind getting a 50 bucks watch or something, i'm after the right design.

Any ideas?

Oh thanks. Well come to think of it I think any watch shares the same history of its owner and therefore unless I had ties with that person I think I would prefer a new watch.

I mean I never bought a good watch before, so I might be wrong. If I am please educate me or send links so I can better myself on the topic.

Buy a Protrek. They're like G-Shocks but better and cheaper.

I need a watch strap for my watch, do I match my watch strap with my belt? Do people do that?
Going for sleazy core look

I'm only on /fa/ for watch threads, so I'm curious on the consensus about fashion brands like Gucci with their other products. If they mark up a shit quartz watch so much, wouldn't any of their other products be just as shitty quality for the price?
This goes for all fashion brands.

That's generally the case. Louis Vuitton still makes decent luggage, though.
