You're an idiot.

>>55665508
If you want to see true autism, head over to the high-accuracy quartz forums. This guy is just a little mad his Seiko is starting to drift, those people keep watches in strictly temperature - controlled environments and track their accuracy daily with quartz regulators and Excel spreadsheets. Many don't adjust for daylight savings time either, to avoid messing with their accuracy readings.

The best is when they try to go back to Bulova and Citizen to get refunds because their HAQ watch was 1 second out of spec over the course of 12 months.

Spring drive is such an underrated movement. I hope to see many more of them in the coming years. I hope they become more popular so the price comes down some.

>>55666524
Some people really don't like it. A fellow collector of mine expressed some pretty heated hatred for the movement, saying it wasn't "authentic enough" (because of the electronics). He saw it as a cheap trick, working around the real issues that make the watch inaccurate rather than correcting them.

He said it's a quartz-mechanical hybrid and therefore isn't a "real" mechanical watch, but uses "modern methods" rather than haute horological methods. And it's too slient apparently.

I've never handled one personally but I don't necessarily think what they've done makes it any less a good watch.

>>55666797
Regardless of its status as a real mechanical it is a real well made and innovative watch movement inside otherwise well made watches.

Part of the reason sundry quartz is so blasé is because there's no real effort or care put into your average quartz watch or movement, not because there's a quartz oscillator inside. But that can change at the higher end.

>>55666797

I agree with you, I don't shit on quartz personally (Unless someone is being stupid, like paying 5k for a fucking tag with a quartz that is a clone of a budget seiko movement found in 25$ watches), but I can see why people might prefer the more traditional mechanical movements, of course. I have an f91-w that I absolutely love despite it being a 9$ quartz, digital, piece of plastic that I had to replace the strap on. It's still a good watch.

>>55665591
> eta/sellita movements
Could you explain please?

>>55666573
The real issue with watched is that mechanical balance wheels and escapements are shitty at keeping time. A quartz oscillator corrects that and replaces the shitty timing mechanism with a better one.

ETA and Sellita are two different watch movement manufacturers. Mühle-Glashütte does not fully make their own movements. Mühle buys their movements from ETA and Sellita and then further modifies them to their own needs/specifications/level of quality.

Not at all. The parts Mühle uses are very good quality and very reliable. It's just that if a watch company makes their own movements it gives them more prestige.

Thank you for the explanation. I know that the materials Mühle uses are top-notch, but I wouldn't want to spend so much money for a not-that-good movement. I mean, probably I'm just paranoid, Mühle may actually have very good mechanics. I thought about Mühle because near where I live there's a watch shop which is an official retailer of Mühle.

>>55668230
You want a Nomos Tangente. The Stowa is already a cheaper copy of something.
Anyway, there are tons of copies of this design. Tisell makes one with a Miyota 9015, or there's a 100% chink one sold under the name Rodina or Rider.

It will scratch but you can polish it out in 2 minutes with polywatch. I prefer acrylic crystals on most of my watches since it is shatterproof. It also has a distortion and glow that is more aesthetically pleasing imho.

The ref 105.012 Speedmaster with the 321 made it to the moon. The current model uses an 1861 which is identical to the 321 except it is a cam actuated chrono instead of a column wheel. The 861 and 1861 Speedmasters have been retested by NASA and have flown in space. People make a big deal about it not having the 321 still when the 1861 and 861 are perfectly fine if not more reliable considering the weak point of a column wheel is it's teeth.

>>55670937
No they're not perfectly fine.
Having cams in a $4000-$5000 (asking price) watch is actual Judaism.
Cams are fine in entry level mechanical chronographs, but column wheels are a requirement in mid tier and above.
Only the swatch jews would have the audacity to put fucking cams in such an expensive "luxury" watch, and only retarded cucks would defend it.

>>55671271
At least it doesn't have the exploding cuck-axial escapement.

>>55671368
Let's not even get to Co-axial bullshit.
Literally a scam. Shit like this makes me really question buying mechanical watches in the current day. At least 7s26 derivatives like the 6r15 are really robust and keep good time. And it won't feel like you literally got scammed.
If the vostok movements didn't suck shit in relation to accuracy they would be great as well.

>>55668636

You say this to everyone who posts a picture of their speedy.

It was comical at first, I admit

>>55671594
That looks disgusting

>>55671271
They switched to the 861 before Omega was bought out by the Swatch group. It made sense to have the less complicated 861 in the Speedy since it is at it's heart a tool watch. You paying a premium for originality. Plus Swiss watch prices are always going up. At it's price point you getting an inhouse movement that is indestructible when all it's competitors have an ETA movement.

>>55671821
>You paying a premium for originality
No you're paying to get cucked.
There's no such thing as a $4000 tool watch. You're fucking kidding yourself if you think anyone that buys a speedmaster doesn't fucking baby it. If you don't then you're a literal mongoloid and shouldn't be allowed to have money. I don't care if you're the richest motherfucker on the planet.
And no it does not make sense to have a less "complicated" movement. Column-wheels are not complicated. If the chinks can shit them out for 200 bucks a pop then Omega can as well.
If you think the 861 movement is akin to a proper in-house movement then you're just an idiot really. It's like Panerai taking those pocket watch movements, decorating the rotor a little and maybe adding a hacking lever, then calling it in-house.
Have more respect for your money and yourself.

Ps. It's not an indestructible movement by a long shot. Cams suck, and there's a reason no other watch at the same price level and higher uses them.

>You're fucking kidding yourself if you think anyone that buys a speedmaster doesn't fucking baby it

Anyone who doesn't have a f91w, DW5600 or similar watch as a beater in their collection is a retard, or doesn't expect to do any kind of manual labor/ outdoors stuff.

>>55672112

Not sure what you define as a daily beater, but I wear a Speedmaster daily, my dude.

If I were not going to wear it, I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

I also own a GShock GW5000, which I do put on when I know I'll be doing actual outdoors stuff like Kayaking and such.

Stuff like that is what I define as a beater.

>>55671821
>At it's price point you getting an inhouse movement that is indestructible when all it's competitors have an ETA movement.

What? 861 and 321 was a lemania (now Breguet) movement. So it's just as 'in house' as any swatch subsidiary using an ETA movement.

Also, you keep putting apostrophes in "its."

I meant to say you can only get a watch with an 1861 through Omega as far as I'm aware and I'm pretty sure now they manufacture it themselves. Also I can't into grammar apparently.

Are you fuckers illiterate? Can you not make a distinction between a daily wearer and a beater?
Any watch is a good daily wearer (unless it's a rare patek or something). If you wear an expensive watch thats expensive to service in rough conditions then you're a fucking idiot.
It's like wearing a shiny gold Rolex in the ghetto and not worrying about it getting stolen.

Bronze are $429 but steel is $399. Considering the current price of Seiko Turtles I think it's a fair deal considering you're getting a ceramic bezel and AR coated sapphire crystal with the Zelos.

You're just talking out of your illiterate, blasted ass.

A beater is a watch that it's reliable enough to put through rough conditions as still get consistent performance. Nothing more, nothing else.

I don't like G-shocks and watches like plastic Casios in general, why should I wear one if I don't want to?

Well, obviously you shouldn't be wearing a Speedmaster in conditions that it's not designed for.

But there are plenty of watches in that price range for every scenario.

For example, would you feel better diving with a Rolex or a $100 GShock?

What?
It's not steel nor elegant in the slightest. If you want a Casio dress watch, get something dressy from the MTP line. Preferably the tank shaped on an ostrich leather strap.

I've also worn my f91w as beater for 4 years and see no need for a gshock. Wouldn't buy it again though, knowing that the f105w exists.

If Eta owns the watch company and makes the movements and it's still not an in-house movement you've tortured the concept of in-house to death.

>>55667210
Which is why it's one of the more affordable of the Glashutte brands.
>>55667313
To be accepted as a Glashutte brand, it's required to design and make a significant portion of the movement in house. So even if their movements are ETA based, they're still heavily modified/re-designed, if you find value in that.

He might not have liked the switch from 17 jewels to 18 jewels. That actually happened 3 years before the switch to 1861, but he may be under the impression that the change was part of the swap to the 1861.

The sapphire sandwich also uses teh 1863, which is a 1861 with better finishing.

Vintage models only, and there's literally no case finish because it's meant to be in a resin outer case.

Bottom line is, if you want a steel Casio, get an overpriced vintage one that a hipster will sell for $200 because apparently it's super rare even though there are thousands up for sale at that price that no one ever buys because the price is far too high.

Or just hold hope that maybe one day, someone at Casio will make an intelligent decision.

Hello /wt/!

Recently, I've asked for your help to buy a watch $100 which is not expensive, looks good, and has quality. You've advised me to get the Seiko 5. I've picked the Seiko 5 SNKE01K1. What do you think about it, /wt/? It's 199$ in my country (yes, we're living in a shitty country, high taxes, etc).

My old Komandirskie actually has shit lume. Bought a new one recently though and the lume is actually good. I think Vostok has actually improved their lume over time. Also the new watch keeps time much better than the old one. The old one gained 40-70 seconds a day, the new one gains around 20.

Ninegag is right on the money on this one, I see hipsters everywhere with shitty vintage handwinders from no name brands, its like the fashion watches of the 70s are coming back

>>55666797
Your collector friend sounds like a cunt that needs to accept that horology (even haute) includes all forms of keeping time.

>>55683118
pretty sure that's from a fitbit, that's too narrow to be from that watch strap.

>>55682976
Stick a paper clip or something in the notch and push it out in the direction of the arrow.

>>55682976
Anyone? I can't find instructuons for links like these, every video or instruction I found has different kind of links.

Do you mean this notch? How hard do you need to push it, I tried pushing it but I'm afraid of using too much force and breaking it .

>>55683235

You've got the general idea. You've got to really man handle those fuckers because they can be really stubborn to get out. Trust me from experience you are more likely to break whatever you're using to get those bastards out than the actual bracelet itself.

Where do you guys find a fake Rolex, you know, for the meme

>>55683235
The pin holes would be on the side of the band. Usually you want a very small diameter rod and a little mallet to tap the out in the direction of the arrow

Some of the most expensive ones have it on the back, including that new GS.

Is the most recent Moonwatch generation, yes.

>>55683705
it's a speedmaster. that specific one never went on the moon.

>>55683322
>>55683504
I can't get the fuckers moving, I must be doing something wrong. Do I push the round knob to the direction of the arrow or what?

He wouldn't even buy one if they removed it from the current models.

I need a watch that has gone to the moon, and the Mariana trench. Whats the solution?

>>55683851
By series do you mean model or do you mean collection? That was one of the models (specifically a 5R64 based model) they released back with the debut of spring drive, it wasn't a part of any collection as far as I know, it was different than anything Seiko ever made previously and they weren't putting it in GS cases or anything.

>>55683883
Go to those places and take like 50 watches with you. Keep one and sell the other 49 to pay for the trip

Those are collections. And as I mentioned, they were not a part of an established collection afaik.

5 euros to adjust s bracelet in finland

They have tools for it

>>55684230
I feel like this should be a simple procedure, but I can't even find instructions for a band like this.

Google it. There's probably even a YouTube video on it .

Thats the thing with blue collar jobs. They are simple, but tricky. If you have to use significant force, you are doing it wrong.

Thats shit. I would say something is simple. Simple things can be tricky. Tricky is when you add an unknown unsure element.

Reee, ree!

Simple is screwing a screw. Tricky is when you add a a rivet

Amphibias have better lume in general.

But Vostoks QC has improved lately, plus my two Amphibias do +5 and +7 secs per day respectively.

>>55683504
Not on those, they have a flat piece of metal rather than a pin.

>>55683235
They are really hard to get moving, you need to use enough force that it feels like it will break.
