If I would take something looking like pic related to the watch service guy, could he buff it up into better shape, clean it generally, and go through the mechanics to make sure it runs smoothly? Or is it not worth the trouble? Starting price at an auction is 800 EUR.

Would be nice if the strap guide had direct links to websites, or maybe a visual infographic?

Can I get a recommandation on a watch?

I want a $2-300 with this band type: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NQX3LBI/ref=s9_simh_gw_g241_i2_r?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-2&pf_rd_r=0YXGFCDTHFG47RX2PQ68&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=dc68ddd1-99ac-45e5-8c23-e9e0811a2b2c&pf_rd_i=desktop

I had a sturling prestige with a black face that was similar and it was pretty nice, ended up breaking after 3-4 years. Might get that one again but I'd like some recs from those who may be more knowledgeable than me

I guess you're right. I'm probably more worried about how far one should be willing to bid on the thing given the non-mint condition. Especially since you can't check the mechanics and have no way of verifying its function. And it's not even that great looking or particularly special.

>>54543725
I have one. For one, don't get that shitty gold model; second, the bracelet is crap and doesn't fit well. If you have small wrists it is guaranteed to fit like crap, I have 7.5 inch wrists and it wasn't good. Very cool looking watch though, I get a lot of compliments on it. Wait until you can snag one for less than $150, paying over 200 like I see most of them listed is fucking stupid.

Well stay mad son, or come to visit and hate us even more.

But with how the grooves that hold the bezel in place are built ins standard Amphibias, it's not very feasible.

The only way would be to also make a custom case that has a clickball like contraption with a custom bezel. Which would have a Seiko~like bezel action.

Is there any way to keep consistent time without regulating the watch? Or is consistent time keeping an unrealistic expectation? Yesterday I was -2s today I'm ~+4s. It's not really a big issue I'm just wondering.

>>54544600

I like the ones with orange dials. Possibly with a black rubber strap. Maybe blue.

I dont like the xs series too much

>>54544697
That's quite good for a Vostok.
Also, keeping consistent time in absolute values is impossible, a variety of external and internal factor qill always change the time keeping.

That's why manufactures of watches don't say their watches run at +5s or something, they say -5/+10, for example.

>>54544718
Thanks.

>>54544715
The Orange Monster? Great watch for the money.

They having amazing lume and good bracelets. The Z20 strap they come with is meh at best.

>>54544697
To be fair, they usually gain like +30~45 secs new out of the factory.

My unregulated does +40 and regulated does +5 a day.

The only annoying thing is that very few jap versions have sapphire.

Hardlex and regular mineral glass are shit for regular use, maybe not for something unrealistic like diving

My fathers 15+year old tag heuer link has a slightly domed sapphire glass and its still flawless

>>54544938

I would rather Seiko just use sapphire on everything rather than Hardlex, but to be fair I've been beating up my SKX007 for a couple of years now and the crystal is still totally flawless so they're obviously doing something right, whether it's the hardness of Hardlex over regular mineral glass or whether it's the way the crystal is recessed under the bezel.

My Seiko 5, on the other hand, has its crystal totally beaten to shit and it looks awful. I'm not sure if it's because that crystal is much more exposed or if they just use a much shittier type of """Hardlex""" on cheaper models.

This senpai. I don't think Seiko could afford to put sapphire on all of their watches though.

>>54545276

Its the position of the crystal. I have two seikos, pretty sure Hardlex is an actual material, mineral glass is code for garbage.

My mineral glass is scratched to shit

My other seiko sportura has a huge ass oval sapphire, its flawless.

Hardlex is probably ok but I doubt they make domed out of it, would not trust 100%

>>54545337

Maybe its a coating

>>54546264
A lot of people just wear them for fashion. But after a while, you start to become accustomed to checking the time on your wirst instead of having to take out your phone.
I personnally spend most of the time I'm outside the house in places with no clocks.
So I do wear a watch for functionality. The reason I choose to wear a mechanical watch over a cheap quartz digital is partly for fashion, and mostly because it's become a hobby. I'm interested in the movements, the designs...

Neither the bezel, its indentations are too shallow on the Seiko, and the format is totally different.
The text on dial is also different (fuckhuge 5 shield on it, different fonts, etc).

They have the same colour. Oh wow, just like 8917256891761 other watches that are black.

thoughts??

I love the eta 2892 that they put it in, but it is too large. I'm actually letting it go now. I just bought a new 38 mm watch to replace it.

>>54547571
>>54547624
I love how they can't set the time for themselves yet they bitch about the price of a battery change.
They basically want the Energizer button cell at the price of a chink cell. Minus my work fee for a proper battery swap and the profit on the battery, of course.

Also they never want the waterproof test, since it costs extra. They coughed up quite some shekels for a 100m Edifice or a 200m Doxa and they don't want it to stay waterproof, get it?

>>54547590

There's the Seiko SNK809 that can be found around $50, but it's a mechanical watch.
For quartz, the chrono version of the Weekender (or Expedition) doesn't have the loud ticking.
Anything from Casio, Citizen or Seiko you like the look of should be of good quality.

>>54548675
There's the Timex Weekender we were just talking about. It ticks quite loudly, which is an issue for some people.

Between the Amphibia and the Komandirskie which one would /wt/ recommend in terms of accuracy.
Should I be afraid of looking like a commie wearing one?

>>54549609
No, really, I never had a problem with that. You're just a shit kid who bangs his shit around for no reason.

>>54549610
People don't look that closely to watch as you would think. There could be dicks on the dial, no one would notice. So you won't look like a commie, even with cyrillic characters and red stars, and even if people notice, they're more likely to find it interesting than anything else.

Also Komandirskies are slightly more durable because simpler manual movement with less moving parts, but overall they're the same thing.

>>54549610
There should be no difference in accuracy, they use the same movement, except for the automatic windind in the amphibia. Don't expect very good accuracy out of them.
And depending on your choice of dial, yes, they sometimes look very commie. Doesn't mean that you will look like a communist for having a small red star on the dial of your watch, since nobody will ever look at it.

>>54549691
>Also Komandirskies are slightly more durable because simpler manual movement with less moving parts, but overall they're the same thing.
Nah. They're shittier because the case isn't steel. The automatic movement isn't magically less solid.

That is definitely debatable. A Komandirskie will survive anything you'll throw at it, but there are a few anons who have reported having fuckups with the automatic rotors on their Amphibias. Keep in mind that Seiko rotors rarely use their weights or disconnect from the movement entirely.

Do you even reading comprehension? That's obviously the lighter attachment.

>>54557261
You know it. And once it's filled, you will be left with two options.
Buy another box and start filling it out too, or you won't be happy with how your filled case looks and will buy new watches to swap out in the place of some of them.
I have no place to put my watches, and I know if I started to have one, even just a drawer, I would keep buying more and more watches.

>>54557261
You could just buy the pelican 1470 that slots into and make less slots.

>>54557261
Sell all your dogshit watches and buy something decent, and then you only have one watch and all your problems are solved.

>>54557470
I have quite a few decent watches, just not 18

>>54542512
fuckin cool, anyone know what model?

There's a only a Vostok buyers guide.

Otherwise Poljot, Raketa, and Luch are other brands to look for.

Neptunes are special Vostok's, with unique dials, hands, bezel and the type 960 case.

>>54557729
There is a Vostok buying guide, not sure if anyone had made a Russian watch guide pic. The Vostok one pretty much describes common problems with them, prices and where to buy them from

Other watches to look at are poljot, poljot de lux is a good option. Raketa also is a good option, vintage glasschute is another, unsure of price, made in east Germany

You can get some very obscure watches commerating some very obscure things

Dials on used pieces can sometimes of been repainted and Franken watches are also a concern, be weary when buying one, buy one from a reputable seller who is showing a photo of the movement on the listing

Delivery takes way too long as well

>>54557747
on the 960 case, is it also chromed brass?
looking at one on ebay, hoping to be able to polish it a bit :/

>>54557782
i meant the vostok guide btw, thx

>>54557829
960 case is polished stainless steel, same as all Amphibia cases.

>>54557842
thats what i wanted to hear
brb buying amphibia

>>54557601
Do you have a gun? I thought you were aussie

>>54557854
Unless you're buying that newer blue Neptune that's on f29 i'm not sure i would go for the older ones.

>>54557896
why not?

Here is the raketa I just bought

Delivery took three weeks to Australia from Belarus

Keep in mind any bracelet or strap that come with them aren't very good

>>54557862
I don't, haven't got anywhere to keep them
Guns laws here are pretty loose, just need to register your firearms. You can only get semi autos and pump actions if you are a dealer or have a professional shooters license

>>54557940
The movements aren't in the best of shape, seeing as they are 20~ years old.

Mostly they just need a quick service, lubrication or maybe even just regulating (you can regulate it yourself) since those Soviet era 2416's are built like tanks.

Keep talking shit and I'll car bomb you

>>54557985
Are you referring to where the watch is resting on my wrist? It is like that because I was awkwardly trying to focus the photo while holding an iPad with one hand, needed to sort of tense and flex my wrist up to stop myself from shaking

oh ye, but i was planning on servicing them myself , thats part of the fun of buying vintage :3

pic related is a piaget that im planning to fix up, im also waiting on gaskets for a seamaster im working on atm

>>54558051
How do you service them?

Did you learn by yourself or did you attend to a watchmaking school? I'm quite jealous desu, wish I could service my watches myself too.

>>54558051
Are the inserts for that case adjustable at all? Been trying to find a watch box myself but it seems like all the pillows are made for 7"+ wrists.

>>54558117
watchmaking school, but before that i did take them apart and stuff.

its really quite cool cause school has all kinds of expensive equipment we can use :3

>>54558051
That's fine then.

Order some pair new gaskets for the Amphibia and that dirskie i see in the background.

That's quite a varied collection, USSR, GDR, Swiss.

Though, just right of the chronostop, the hell is that? Date pointer and a sub seconds hand look very unique.

Sucks, guess I'll probably go the more expensive route with a pelican case or something.

Also, nice f300Hz and dynamic there. Been trying to hunt down a megasonic myself.

>>54558190
>>54558157
I thought that since the caseback doesn't rotate on the gasket, because of the caseback ring thing, you didn't need to change the gaskets every time you open it. Is that not true?

Also >>54558190 I'm really jealous of that Chronostop.
What is the watch on the top left? I can't make out the dial inscriptions.

>>54558219
Wait, mistook that chronostop for a dynamic. Case shape is basically the same between the two.

>>54546831
is that in us?

>>54558235
Same as all rubber gaskets, the rubber hardens and deteriorates over time.

>>54558251
That's our pahjeet squatter.

>>54558235
More usual gaskets for like snapbacks are sheared when opened and closed and should be replaced more often. Vostok ones which are only pressed against do not.

its a ''calendographe,'' basically a brandless watch with a date pointer. my dad really liked it so its basically his watch. it was actually p tough to find a donor movement for this one.

>>54558235
sorta, they still get old though, so might as well change them if you've got them.

the top left is a baume mercier with a valjoux 90, will post pic in a sec.

>>54558341
To be fair, watches with date points are rather uncommon.

Is that gold plated/filling or solid 10k?

gold plated kek

the B&M needs a lot of work, maybe even a new case, if possible.
