I bought a Speedmaster a month ago. I love it so far. It's legible, not too thick, classy and sporty at the same time. Also keeps time fairly well.

Will probably sell my other two watches.

The Citizen has served me so well through the years , but it's too god damn big.

The Speedmaster is not small, but at least it doesn't feel or look big.

Rate my stap collection. Excuse the shitty phone camera. 20mms to the left of the watches, 18mms to the right. Not pictured - an 18mm Geckota Milanese (in the mail). The strap-to-watch ratio looks worse than it is because I own 2 more watches that aren't pictured (being serviced). I'll be happy to answer any question about each or all of then.

the numeral placement is bizarre to me and the color scheme and hands look hideous. is there some functional reason it's designed this way or is it strictly just another style.

Let's pretend there's a person who under no circumstance will service a watch. They don't feel it's worth it at a certain price threshold or apocalypse scenario, whatever.

Eventually the mechanical watch will be damaged because of oils running out and all that. I have heard that Vostok movements are almost immune to this and will run for a lot longer (<10 years) without servicing because they have 31 jewels and the jewels serve a similar (although inferior) purpose of lowering friction that oil does and slows down the death of the watch by a considerable rate.

(I just used Vostok as an example because it is 31 jewels, this is a general question, not a Vostok question)

>>55152008

I don't think anybody here is into Swatch. You'd be better off just searching through their website.

>>55152048
Oh alright, thanks anyway

Why would you want a watch that only displays one specific date?

>>55152041
All watches need service. Quartz watches also use oils and will require service just as frequently as mechanical watches.

Jewels are used by all brands, they're used in conjunction with oil. Quartz watches also use jewels.

Conventional wisdom says service a watch every 5 years. 5-10 years is when a lot of the oil tends to break down the worst. But your average watch generally can run pretty long (decades) without the oil. It's just slowly grinding away to dust, but it takes a long time.

One of my co-workers wears a vintage Seiko 5 that was his father's, I know that thing has never been serviced. And it's probably like 30 years old.

>>55152314
The oils degrade how they degrade regardless of jewels. At a general rule a 17-18 jewel movement that has 3 hands and no complications is 'fully jeweled.' 21 for a watch with automatic winding. Complications may beget more jewels, but without additional complications the more you add on the more marginal in usefulness they become.

Not always, there are plenty of quartz movements that use 0 jewels.

>>55152627
Right. There are mechanical movements with no jewels as well. Particularly older ones.

But jewel production has become much cheaper over the years, so quality movements will have jewels.

>>55151735

Bretty nice, pics when it arrived on wrist. I was looking at them but I think I'm too skelly.

>>55152662
Yep, the cheap shit movements used in Denzel Washingtons etc will be no jewels though.

they have a postbox in switzerland that comprises their "swiss offices"

only changed it when the bitchfags on their forums got trolled too much by basically everyone else that's never fallen for the doxa meme that they cried and the company tried damage control

shitty service (holy shit look at the clusterfuck concerning one of their managers)

severely overpriced compared to comparable alternatives

otherwise they're just another con
and the internal drama at the us distributor and the butthurt of their ardent fans is always hilarious

In the age of the smartphone you have no reason to demand quartz wristwatch accuracy, for the case of most people anyway.
If you wanted true practicality, you'd wear a digital gshock.
Any deviation from this and you might as well buy something nice. Cheap quartz is rarely "nice".

Ayyy. Just got a sewing machine. Here's my first attempt at a strap using the sewing machine. I think the top portion turned out well, but the pigskin on the inside isn't that great.

>>55151117
And if you're also a cheapskate, F91W. It's literally the cheapest watch that isn't a piece of shit.

>>55152314
Dunno. But I recall once reading a post somewhere by some watchmaker that said that basically there's generally a limit to how many truly functional jewels there are in most standard-like movements; any more than that number (21?) and it's mostly just basically decoration for marketing/bragging rights.

>>55151851
>what deployant clasps are those, how much were they and do you recommend them
They're Hadley Romas. $34 a piece. I'm pretty satisfied with them so far (~1 month). Closed with just a little force and makes a satisfying click. You should be aware that they have a minimal curve, so if you have more rounded wrists they might not sit as comfortably.
>what perlon straps are those, i was thinking of buying one but was worried that there would eventually form a gap where I put the buckle through and yours don't have them at all so I guess theyre good quality
The gray and brown 20mms are EULIT. Excellent finish and stiffness where needed (i.e. to push through the buckle). Blue one is Wrist and Style - quality is decent for the price but not as good as EULIT's (edges scratchier, end is floppier). The light gray 18mm is a Da Luca. The quality is pretty much identical to the EULITs, but is longer. Also more expensive ($30!) So unless you have larger wrists, just get a EULIT. I haven't experienced gaping with any of them.
>what straps are number 6, 11 and 12 and how is the quality
6 is the Sinn OEM. I think DiModell makes them. Heavily padded, thick and sturdy. Can be a bit stiff comfort-wise. 11 is a Fluco english bridal(sp?) leather one. Medium thickness. Imo, Fluco leather straps have been the best bang for the buck for all the ones I've bought so far. 12 is a Crown & Buckle kangaroo leather NATO, a recent purchase. Thin and very comfortable.
>does the leather nato get uncomfy in the summer the some regular leather straps do
Because kangaroo leather can be made so thin, it's not as chunky or heavy as cow leather feels. You can also move it around more easily (doesn't "grip" as much), so the skin can breath. Of course perlon is still the comfy-est in the summer by far.
>is #7 made of felt or something wtf
It's tweed with leather backing. These are Shepherd's & Tailor's. I overpaid for those ($29, but they're cheaper now ~$22). Looks good but sloppy finishing.

Hey guys.

I'm looking for a reliable watch. I'm not fond of any fashion watch or whatever you call them.

I saw someone post about a Vostok amphibia that was used in two moon landings and one soyuz mission.

I want that type of watch. Military, maybe diving watches, that have a good mechanism, are sturdy, well built, and look reasonably good.

Would you happen to know any watch that fits the description?

I'm oogling the Citizen diving watch right now, and a few Hamiltons.

Hey /wt/, I was wondering if you could give me some information this old watch. I tried googling it and I can't find literally any info on it.
It's in pretty beat up shape. Doesn't work.
Is this worth repairing do you think as well? Took it to one place and they quoted me $300~ or so.
Watch does have some sentimental value.

>>55155150
Yeah, polish auction site from store with high rep, little used, I asked for more photos.

>>55157199
So it's not winding with the automatic rotor or the crown?

As far as I know, there's nothing particularly special about that watch. If you open the back we can probably tell the movement, possibly an enicar.

But, if your sentimental values exceed 300 bucks, then go for it.

Is there even any good digital watch in stainless steel that is widely available and at a decent price, and not an old model costing an arm and a leg or a limited edition you'll never get?

Casio has fuckall anymore aside from overpriced G-Shocks, Suunto makes some but they're more wrist computers and have a ridiculous battery life, Pulsar makes one fucking model, and Timex has nothing anymore.

Why won't anyone just make digitals great again?

Hirsch straps seem to vary noticeably in quality between their high and low end (under $30) products. The black alligator embossed one on the Tutima in my pic is a Louisianalook, ~$29. Ok quality but thinner and less detail than equivalent or cheaper Flucos (I have another Fluco on one of the watches being serviced, pic related). The Hirschs that deserve their reputation cost > $40.

>>55160729
>$1,600

Damn dude.

It was less than half that when I bought it a few years ago.

I love it, but it's definitely not worth $1600.

I'd sell it to you but haven't decided whether to get rid of it or not.

>>55157199
I'm going to agree with 9scroat, that $300 probably doesn't cover repairs, just cleaning and oiling.
With the watch face in that kind of condition it must have sat in the sun alot.
I doubt it's worth getting the movement running when it looks like that.
Don't get the dial repainted either or it will be completely value less

If it's actually legit then the Free Market™ will make sure people bid away the price savings until it is just as expensive as any other AL&S.

actually im with him, idk im not sure why but the entire company just seems very richemont esque. (which they are kekeke)
ive talked with some people who work there, played with some of their watches etc, theyre beautiful watches but just not the kind of thing id want to spend the ridiculous amounts of cash they go for on. idk, maybe the same thing will happen once i try on a piaget altiplano for the first time.

Eh... I like the Explorer, but I can't help love the GMT/white dial.

Also, the sale of this rental will fund a four-plex. Earning potential bruh.

WHY make shit like this? Normies who want big watches just buy those bigass invicta "divers"
Why?

>>55155042
the fuck you looking at? go look at any stuhrling watch and tell me what movement it is.

pro tip: don't even bother, they don't say anything about their movements, therefore its dog shit

>>55150784
My watchmaker-sensei hates them with a passion. Filipino manufacturing is literally worse than making it in China.

>>55179908
>they don't say anything about their movements
They actually do. All Chink automatic dog turds and some "Swiss quartz" a.k.a. the cheapest Ronda 6x8 movement they could find.

Redpill me on one of these

Are Seikos with a 4s35 movement very rare? I saw one in good condition while trolling ebay. From what I've read they're top grade 4s's with near chronometer accuracy. I would have made an offer if I didn't just buy a 5246 King Seiko.

But those hands don't have lume, it kinds of defeat the purpose of having lume on the dial if you can't see the hands.
