I only feel disinterest, which I'm pretty sure was what the other anons felt when it was me posting about modding a watch.

Might change when you finish your watch though.

Indeed. It'll join its older brother (pic related) in my increasingly Germanic collection. No more new watches for at least a year for me. The 556 is a beaut as well. Quite controversial though, since a lot of people believe it signals Sinn's betrayal of their tool watch heritage.

That watxh won't spend it's entire lifetime under the sea, you landwhale. Ergo, a good watch must have a legible date, if it already has one. You got shafted by an autistic Sinn designer, so... enjoy your failed purchase. And I know you'll come to regret it, however you may fight me at this time.

>>55395038
Fucking god in heaven, that's THE MOST hideous combo I've ever seen!!! And the hate people have for your watches is caused by your seriously fucked up taste. You should not be allowed near a watch during your lifetime.

Inert gas? Why would you buy a watch that can not be serviced by a competent watch repairer, just because ze Germanz decided to fill it up with fart gas? Screw that.

>>55397662
CUZ MUH TECHNOLOGY. Well you can say the same for a lot of watches with an in house/heavily modified movement. Ever had to deal with Rolex/Omega/Cartier official servicing? Shit takes up to 7 or 8 weeks.

accidentally bashed the crystal against a rock while hiking this morning, not a single mark. feels good.

Looking to start saving up to buy a watch when I finish my Bachelors degree (2 years from now), anyone have any reccomendations? Thinking about maybe a Tudor Black Bay or a Nomos or something around that price range, or I might stretch for a Speedmaster or a used Explorer or something as well.

>>55398226
I'd go for the speedy, but I'm biased. Explorer I is excellent as well. The tudor and nomos offerings are great, but if you'll be saving for two years, might as well go for broke.

>>55397623
Considering both of his watches are straight ripoffs of iconic Rolex designs you're the one with shit taste of you don't like how they look.

What strap is that? Can it be installed on a cheap casio?

>>55397591
date apertures as a general rule are hideous and are only begrudgingly allowed for their function

exceptions include datejusts and day dates, which simply wouldn't be what they are without those complications. And they actually look okay.

Tudor princes are also allowed, and anything with a more complicated movement such as a triple date, moon phase or perpetual calender

the acceptable date aperture on anything else is at 3 o clock, or maybe 6 o clock for a date, and a 3 o clock for the abbreviated daydate you find on SKX's and sinn 104s. 6 o clock date and 12 o clock day is alright sometimes but make no mistake they are almost all eyesores.

never 4 or 5 o clock apertures by the way.

I may be autistic but you all know I am right

Yes too large. I guess the 4R35 is not a bad movement but I wish there was a 6r15 or 4s25 version. I'd be willing to pay ~$100 extra. Also forgot to mention mineral glass. Other than those 3 things (in order of importance), it looks perfect.

To the anon that was interested in my Alpha chrono, are you up for it?
it's still 60 bucks and I'll throw in the nato if you want. The little felt sleeve and warrenty card that it came with are included.
For anyone interested it's in good condition, movement is at ~+25 a day without regulation and the chronograph works/resets prefectly.
It does have a small crack on the acrylic, but you can just pop a new one in, it's a standard diameter.
Selling the watch because I'm moving and need to stay frugal.

>>55406570
Most seiko 5 are 37mm across and like 42mm tall. Which will fit most wrists but not the smallest male wrists.

You didn't mention price, but a 36mm Rolex Datejust, or 34mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual or Air King could work.

If you need to push down even farther, you could google for watches, particularly vintage "boys size" watches which are generally more like 30-32mm. They're bigger than women's watches, among the smallest male watches made.

The 5600 series (including g-lides and solar 5610s) fall short in many ways.

In fact I used a 5610 daily and thoroughly for the longest time before switching to the GD-350.

Also there are many cool solar 5610s, why did you have to choose the most normie option?

The 50001jf is the superior option if you like that kind of g-shock.

The gd-350 has the biggest battery in a g-shock yet, and you can turn the vibration off.

Also solar g-shocks need battery replacements eventually. The battery saves less energy as time passes. We're talking decades, though.

The design sort of harkens back to Seiko's 1970s offerings, which were the indisputable high water mark of watch design. Thie looks really cool, I just wish the ReCraft watches were smaller (like 40mm). Also the 7S26 is objectively worse than any movement Seiko was using in the 1970s, but at least it's decently reliable.

>>55405877

Actually, assuming he didn't get ripped off, he can always resell a Rolex without losing much value of he regrets it later. Can't say the same for most other watches. So yes, if you have the disposable cash, Rolexes are among the best beginner watches.

Serious question:

I'd like to get a Speedmaster someday, but the old ones look fucking grody with their hands and markers all flaked and faded and moldy looking. Since Omega fetishizes keeping the Speedmaster the same as it was in 1969, does that mean they also use the same self-destructing materials on the hands and face? If I'm going to keep this bitch a long time I don't want it to fall apart on me.

When I see a Tudor, I see a watch worn by a man who's been in middle management for a decade and desperately wanted a Rolex... but knew his wife would hit the fucking roof if he committed to one when they still had mortgage payments on the 4-bedroom house, car payments on the Acura TLX and the Toyota Highlander, and all the various expenses associated with their ingrate kids. So he thinks "aha! I can still get what is basically a Rolex, just with an ETA movement. They're both 28,800 beats per hour so there really is no difference! In fact it's better than a Rolex so it will be cheaper to service and Charlotte won't leave me for the 27-year-old Brazilian across the street", and he happily signs for the black dial Tudor Style. Which, consequently, has the same white date wheel as his autistic nephew's Seiko SKX007.

Not sure if you guys are interested but I'm putting a couple pics up to compare a pooloo and a gen seiko 5

>>55422029
There is normally one in op but today op was a faggot.
Strap co i think?
The best is called engineer II bracelet
Other than that the chinks make alot of solid link ones for all the rolex knockoffs, some are pretty good. Look at about the 20-50 range on aliexpress

>>55422052
I've experienced the same horror comparing an HMT 82xx movement to a genuine Citizen one.

>>55422068
Oh I thought you were talking about watches
Most of the simple casio digitals have a non standard lug width.
I just want a steel case, not chromed resin.

>>55422080
Ah right. Eh get plastic, cry, get over it

>>55422074
Is funny, my hmt is immaculate.
The seiko. ... eh not so much

>>55395038
This has to be the only mod where the final product is so much worse looking than the original.

>>55421831
I'm thinking Casio is not only thinking nobody will see the difference, they're also scared of making everyone's dream watch that would outsell every other model, and they happen to sell many others.
A higher quality model could be so successful it would kill their own business, though I'm thinking it wouldn't really be bought by anyone but watchfags to some extent.

If they make it steel cased, with 20mm lugs, a solid link bracelet and sapphire glass, they could bump the price enough to milk watchfags only without hurting the rest of their business, and make everyone happy.

But there's no sign of change, so I hope you like resin and tin can bracelets.

>>55422133
I'm not as sad because the modules are leagues above other digital watches, and while the materials are shit, they watches are cheap as fuck and comfy as hell; even the bracelet models.
I'm just sad that the 70's are over and I'll probably never own a luxury watch. The GW5000 is my closest bet and while it's probably the best watch ever made, it doesn't really look luxury like the Seiko Spirit models do.

>>55422153
Who cares, the dial is fake and the bezel rechromed or some shit.

It's not going for minimalism, it's going for AESTHETIC. And to be memed all over tumblr.
This is another example of AESTHETIC.
Notice how the nato loops through the watch face for maximum AESTHETIC.
Your's for only 40 bucks. The black is sold out of course.
No like though, I would actually buy this if it was a steel case.

>>55422158
haha what?! fake cheap soviet watch??

bezel is a replacement, other one got lost when I wrecked my motorcycle. I had to manually make a new spring to hold the bezel in place. this one was $5 on ebay.

Would you /fa/ggots wear this?

The Datejust is probably Rolex's most identifiable watch other than the Submariner, but I gotta say the Milgauss is pretty underrated.
Which do you like more?

Well, the dial looks better from that angle, but the blue tint to your images is bothering me. You can see the more obviously fake one here >>5542222

Your bezel though, there's something about those where the edges are all wonky. Original/not rechromed ones are nice and crisp. Also because that bezel design is not original to that model, that alone raises a flag. If you replaced it, whatever.

>>55422501
Sorry, that broken link is for >>55422224

That's OK, as i said it's not bad.
Alot of anons here customise their vostok watches alot more. I don't see it as a bad thing.

Actually the bezel might be original and not redone too, just not a vintage example like my photo where the quality of the edges was better. Here is a clearly rechromed bezel for a quick example, you can see the smoother edges that accompany it.

The dial and bezel together, and your relume job I guess, just triggered me because of these typical but dubious practices.

My apologies.

>>55406625

That's also one of the best

>>55410053

Lurk more, you might find something interesting.

Casio has made many big digit mr g watches.

There's also a metallic frogman with the same functions as the fuckhuge resin one.

I found the watch just now in an old backpack... the lum gel has chipped off of some of the hands, and I always hated that face anyway (hard to read in the dark) so I just got this shit on ebay...

>>55422702
You can also keep those hands as spares and at some point get them re lumed

The best dive watches under 200 are g-shocks.

Or even Pro-Treks

>>55410053

The black version looks better.

The problem with high end g-shocks is that you look like a turboautist.

G-shocks excell with the colorful models, not so much when attempting to be elegant.

I don't understand why someone will bother re-dialing a $60 Russian watch. Wtf is the profit margin on that?

Has anyone in the US ever purchased from Page & Cooper? Their ex-VAT prices are a steal at the current good-boy-points to freedom bucks exchange rate, compared to US ADs or even asian ADs like Gnomon. New Sinns and Damaskos are being offered at close to average pre-owned prices on ebay. What's the catch? Will I be hit with exorbitant customs fees?
