I like the crystal. The dial is a bit weird though.

>>55244702
Cheeky. What kind of strap is that?

How bad is brass as a case material /wt/? Does it develop a nice patina or does it just tarnish and get ugly? Does it not patina if you polish it?

>>55244747
It is corduroy on top with leather on the bottom.

The title of the ebay listing I got it off of is "NEW AUTHENTIC MICHELE DECO CSX 36 BURGUNDY CORDUROY WATCH BAND 18 mm." I can't find it any more either.

Is the SKX007 still a good buy for a diver? I know there's the newer turtle but the turtle-shaped case looks like dogshit to me.

Any other brands i should watch out for?

Prolly gonna put a Bond nato on it.

Much help /g/.

Welp i apologize. I'm okay with the turtle shape maybe when i'm wearing it on a weekend or something, but this will be my only watch for now so need something a little more conservative.

>>55244890
You could cut up some old pants and make a strap like that anon in the last thread.

>>55244842

The movement in the SKX007 is deprecated. You should do a search for microbrand watches that use the Seiko NH35 movement of which there are many.

Aren't microbrands with any newer movements lots more expensive than the SKX.

>no "watch thread /wt/" in the title
one fucking job

>>55244842
Yes. Dive watches are essentially memes, seiko being the most prolific dive watch producer you get extra meme points, its is also the cheapest iso certified diver, more more bonus points here

The new orient Ray is also pretty good for the price. Not as memey though

>>55244751
Interested in this. Any senpai pls.

>>55244269
Alot of the higher end watches make it all out of one piece of crystal.
Some stupid brands even mill a whole case out of the shit.

Not saying that is the reason it magnifies, glued on ones magnify just as well.

>>55244894
Hahaha nice failure to launch.
Are you a newfag or a troll?

>>55244751
>>55245234
It's not good. For one, it's kinda soft. Ammonia in human sweat can also stress it and cause it to crack.

May also turn your skin green from copper content.

Bronze is pretty much strictly better, and that's still just not good. You see bronze on some new high end pieces for the novelty value of being able to patina very quickly, but it's just not as good as steel for a case material long term.

>>55245112

It depends on how you personally define "lots more expensive" I suppose. You can find some in the $300-$400 range.

>>55245173
Sorry. I didn't realize until it was too late.

>That and you can generally just get a sense of someone wanting to buy versus not.
I had to go to a car dealer once and fake to be interested in buying a car for a survey company.
Twice. For cars of different brands. I think I managed to fake at a decent level considering I had never bought a car in my life. The key is believing what you're saying yourself and never for a moment let the insecurity kick in, just go with the flow as though you were really there for that reason, if you don't know something just ask the seller, don't let them see you don't know what he's talking about and you're acting as if you were nonetheless.
Hide your fakeness behind elements of honesty, basically.

It feels pretty bad, though. Thank god I dit it only twice.

Most people aren't fully commited to the George Costanza approach (believing your own lies so thoroughly that you're not lying.)

Most people ask for a card and refer to speaking more to the salesperson at a later date because that's what it literally tells you to do online if you google for how to get a salesman off your back.

>>55249252
I was talking about deceiving them, not getting them off your back.

It's about behaving like what you're saying is not a lie.

>>55249342
>I was talking about deceiving them, not getting them off your back.
I know you were. I was talking about asking for a card. It's a universal symbol for for "no thanks, I don't want it, but I'm too polite/shy/afraid to just tell you no."

>It's about behaving like what you're saying is not a lie.
Yes, that's the George Costanza approach.

We have discussed this earlier.

This is a clock that is used in a radio room on board a ship, indicating radio silence periods for listening to the two emergency frequencies. Not respecting radio silence is grounds for shooting.

Often there are different colours used to represent the two emergency frequencies. That was also shown last time.

Now the 500 kHz frequency is disbanded and reused for radio amateurs and shipping instead uses satellite communication also for emergencies. Being a telegraphist was a fairly good job about 20 - 30 years ago. It is stull used for some rather specialised work.

Busted the crystal once; ended up needing a full service. Sucks mostly, because before I busted the crystal it was running at -1 sec per day. Now it runs at about -3. Maybe I'll take it to get the escapement adjusted if I start feeling really autistic.

All timex watches have a fundemental flaw
it's impossible to change a battery on them with conventional watch tools. You NEED back plate press, especially for models with 100m WR.

Go for Casio or Seiko.

I recently rediscovered my grandpa's old alarm clock in the garage. It was still running fine, I took it apart and dusted it off a bit so I'll post a few photos. It's nothing special, but it looks very 1980s and I think it's pretty cool.

Was Lorus not always Seiko's cheap sub-brand? The movement says Tochigi Tokei on it, I didn't see Seiko anywhere.

In any case, these shitty plastic gears have been turning non-stop for more than 30 years now with no sign of stopping.

That looks nice. How loud is it?

>>55257158
The actual clock, or the alarm? It doesn't tick, that black and white striped wheel on the right spins slowly as the watch runs and it makes a very very quiet slow grinding noise and then you can hear a little fluttering noise when the display flips over to the next minute.

The alarm started out really faint and weak when I first tested it, but after a few seconds it came back to life and picked up to a nice awful blaring noise. Now that I cleaned it up that somehow seems to have helped the volume and now it's nice and loud.

Meca-Quartz, friend
Quartz watch that simulates a mechanical chronograph

I bought an Omega for $4500 5 years ago and I regret it, wish I bough the S&P500 instead.

>>55260312
make ethiopia great again

>>55260312

Meca not mega. It's a hybrid movement. The time display is traditional quartz and the seconds hand ticks once per second. The chronograph portion is powered by a separate motor and gears and such which gives it a smooth sweep and instant reset like fully mechanical chronograph.

>>55260433
That's actually pretty neat

>>55260445
You can also check out Autodromo which has some nice looking mecaquartz (or 1000 other affordable kickstarter chronos). Uses the Seiko VK64 movement.

Why are Seiko watches so huge? The SKX013 is the only one I could wear but I don't like the design much.

>>55261972
Because it's nearly square it wears a lot smaller than the case size would indicate.

>>55261972

Divers tend to be big. The case shape helps it not seem as big as the number would indicate, but yeah, it's still too big.

If you're interested in solar, they have the SBDN019. Similar to the SXK013 being a smaller version of the 007. The SBDN019 is a 38.75mm version of the SBDJ013, which is 44mm. Same with SBDN017 being the small version of SBDN011, and SBDN015 being the small version of SBDN009.

>>55262090
Because the green formulas throw off the most luminescence. And seiko is known for especially powerful lume.

Grand Seikos are not being sold in any boutique here in Spain and as a old-school guy in his 60s he doesn't consider buying online. I've showed him many GS models and he loves them though, we may visit some boutique in Tokyo together since we are planing a Japan trip for xmas.

grand-seiko.com lists 4 authorized GS dealers in Spain, and one Seiko boutique in Madrid.

>>55265590
I believe it will have certain models that are only sold at that location. Also, a normal seiko boutique will carry all lines of Seiko. The premium boutique only carries Grand Seiko, Credor and Galante.

Hah, don't know the Galante line? It's their avant garde line, paired with decent movements like spring drive. Most of their stuff is way too large to wear.

Most of their recent advertising/image stuff has been pretty fucking goofy. webm related.

I think it's interesting how Seiko's lines have evolved over time. Before you used to see more avant garde and flashy/complex stuff in the Credor line, including my chrono, and the 247 numbers on the original eichi. I think they're pushing credor more towards classy, clean designs, like the new eichi and keeping more of their crazy shit more in lines like Galante.

That's part of why some of the older Credors can be interesting, because there may be a day where people don't think of Credor as anything but very classy, highly legible, simplicity first with precious metals sort of collection.

As in all literature is shitty or as in just that specific example?
If it's the first then fuck you.

>galante
>bambino
It sounds like shit to people who speak Italian.

>>55269160
No one said bambino

>>55267118
Thought it was a jav from the thumbnail.
>>55269146
Why shouldn't I care? Literature is fundamental.
>>55269185
Your point? It's still a wannabe Italian name. I would have cited more if I could remember them.

>>55267554
No pictures (honestly what I could I take that would be better than the marketing photos).

The tourb is a work of art, but that's really what it feels like - a work of art on your wrist, rather than a time piece.

The minute repeater, on the other hand, was a wet dream. Too bad the tourbillon is staying in NYC and the repeater is going back to Japan.

>>55252716
Takes a licking and keeps on ticking (audibly).

>>55267554
Assuming we don't count the Vacheron "pocketwatch" that's like 8 inches across (and which I didn't get to try on), probably a tossup between the Seiko tourbillon, a JLC triple axis tourbillon, and a RM quadruple tourbillon

>>55269277
It's a real Italian.

I see no reason to object to them calling their collection "galante." For example, what if they had just used the English word "gallant." Emphasizing their spirited and brave design being motivation to call it that. Would you get autismal over that as well?

>>55269395
>It's a real Italian.
I'm a real Italian.
Sure, it's formally correct, too bad it sounds like shit. Bambino means child and galante means gallant but it's cringey, it's something that urban gentry faggot could use, even more so when used by nips.

I'm not even sure these are their official names. Like Seikos they could be just their popular nickname.
>I'm a real Italian.
OH! FUGGEDABOUDIT!!!

>>55269596
Galante is the name of the collection by Seiko.

Bambino is just the international name of an orient watch. When Orient watches get distributed outside of Japan they get names like Union, Lexington and Bambino. Not sure if it comes from Orient or a distributor.

>>55269631
My impression is that those names were chosen by Orient USA

>>55269659
seems likely, orientwatchusa is just the retail front end for Puri-Time inc, which is an Orient distributor and not actually part of Orient.

Fair, but also

link to review?

>>55270314
What do you want to know about? I have one.

>>55270406
will I regret purchasing it


well I already did so make me feel better.

>>55270415
It's fucking €30, how can you regret it?

>>55270406
Does it have different display modes like some of the more expensive Pulsar models?

>>55270415
It's 28 fucking dollars, if you will regret that this is the wrong hobby

>>55270463
It has normal time, chronograph, lap memory, countdown timer, and world time.

I want a digital watch for work, possibly with a chronograph function, for about €30/50.
What's the best I can get that doesn't look like dogshit?

I was looking at the Casio AE1200 but I'm not sure if it has a chrono function or the Casio DW5600 but it costs a little bit too much.

AE1200 has a chrono. There's also the currently being discussed PW3001 if you'd prefer a steel case.

Please teach me how to be a sophisticated adult on the wrist-fedora circlejerk forum of a soviet claymation BBS.

>>55270547
Doesn't the AE1200 have a steel case as well?
How much better is the DW5600 compared to the AE1200?

>>55270857
The AE1200 does not have a steel case, it would be fucking amazing if it did.

>>55263640

I've got a Seiko skx I'm looking more at the dressy ones

Why do all grills not know about good watches? Have you guys ever met a chick that knows anything about watches? Any secret femanons here that can debunk my observation?

What's this then?

>>55271084
That is a steel bracelet and caseback, the case is plastic.

>>55271104
Meh. How bad is it compared to the DW5600?
Not really convinced about the Pulsar.

>>55270980
dressy whats, seikos?

>>55271056
a grill asked me wether a bambino was a good watch not that long ago, so i guess that counts

>>55271220
Dressy seastars .

>>55271056
A decent number watchmakers employ women. Girls are generally pretty good at near-distance visual acuity so it makes sense they'd be good at it. I would assume they would know something.

But your average grill doesn't know shit about watches (in all fairness, your average guy fares about just as well.) Micheal Kors seems to be the normal go-to 'nice watches' for girls in the US. For themselves and also to buy for their boyfriends

>>55271274
Dive watches, or any tool watch, are not dressy.

>>55271215
I wish that this was still produced:

>>55269824
Not home for a while though.

And even so not sure I have time to.

>>55271287
I'm not going for a tool watch. It's got a dressy style and it's a vintage
