hey guys i want to buy my first watch, under 100 euros, and was looking at this one from seiko: amazon.com/Seiko-SNXS79K-Automatic-Stainless-Steel/dp/B000G12Y8O

can you guys tell me if its any good?

Time for the weekly shitposting session.

Thinking of moving the black scubadude into a 710 case and maybe creating a black Seiko~ish bezel. (Assuming i can find an insert)

Where can i get a fake Rolex?

>>55686964
Is your budget $350+?
RWI and then find the rest of your way yourself.
If it's less that, don't bother - either way buying a homage would be better.

Save up for a real one

>>55688099
I think this is ultimately the right call. I used to look at reps all over the place, but the ones that were almost passable were hundreds of dollars. If I can put 500$ aside, I can do that a few times until I can afford a real luxury piece, whether that be a Rolex, a JLC, or even just a Tudor or Sinn.

What does /g/ think of skeleton watches? Thinking of getting one, but my requirements might be way too specific. Illuminated hands, color palette of white/black/yellow in a ratio of about 40%/40%/20%, and needs to fit on a bitchwrist. Also not willing to splurge more than 400€, preferably under or about 300€.

Am I shit out of luck?

>>55688585
>color palette of white/black/yellow in a ratio of about 40%/40%/20%
What the fuck is this?

Also, the most predominant color of any skeletonized watch is going to be silver or gold, depending on the color of the movement and case.

>>55682976
>exposed folded links
Just toss it (but keep the ends) and buy a solid link one, bro. Unless you enjoy painful, slow depilation that is.

>>55688677
Right, should've known that traditional colors don't really work. Let's just say that white = silver and yellow = gold for now because of the dominancy.and me being newfag.

>>55688585
Just get something with a display caseback, since otherwise all the options are going to both look and be dogshit tier.

Let alone fit a bitchwrist.

I was gifted a GUESS Style W0252G2 watch. It only has 1 crown, does this mean if I want to set the date, I need wind it up continously until the day Friday aligns with the month 22nd? At the moment the watch is aligned with the 21st on Friday. Which means that it think it's August the 21st, Friday.

What do?

>>55690810
Should be varying crown position for different settings. Check the manual.

>>55690853
It only pulls out once. Manual says keep winding. Fuck I don't want to wind from August 2015 to July 2016, that would take a long time.

>>55690956
Hope you didn't have any plans for this evening.

Either that, or leave the watch be until the next leap year comes around and corrects shit.

Would anyone mind pointing me in the direction of the rubber bands we see on SubMariners in these threads?

I can't find any that look as comfy.

>>55690956
>Manual says keep winding

Kek. It can't be.

>>55691073
Fuck I some how changed the month, without changing the day. Now how the fuck did I do that.

>>55690853
>>55690991
>>55691073
Ok I just had to pull it out just a tiny fraction, and then I could spin the day of the month dial. Excellent.

>>55691431

Please tell me you didn't actually pay $925 for that thing.

>>55691501
As someone who doesn't own one, I think it looks really quite nice, except for that obnoxious black dot on the glass. Very smooth sweep too. Not quite GS tier, but hey.

The black dot is meant to replicate the dials in old rally cars. I think it works with the overall style, but I could see why others wouldn't.

>>55691575
Those were more function than form. Moulded plastic to hold the hands on and the like.


You can do a hell of a lot worse for $1000, that has to be said at the very least.

>>55691431
You're fucking kidding me right, this thing is worth nearly a grand? This ugly piece of shit lmao?

My watch >>55690810
Looks superior and has more functions and costs a lot less.

>>55691518
>>55691599

It's the fact that they have the audacity to charge $925 for a Miyota 9015. You can get that movement in other brands for significantly less or something with a Seiko 6R15, hell you can even find ETA 2824-2 watches for cheaper if you want to go the Swiss route.

Has orient's ii series made the SKX007 obsolete? Hacking, hand wind, quick set for both day and date, cheaper price tag. Whats the point of getting a SKX over one of these besides different looks?

>>55693304
Skx isn't made any more, so while we can make these comparisons for now they'll be getting less relevant as supply gets depleted.

That being said it's a real certified driver with better lume and, as you mentioned, different looks.

What you niggas think of the Citizen Blue Angels? Is there another chronograph in the range that's better?

>>55694137

It's being shipped to an obvious forwarding address in the US. What the fuck do you think he's getting it for?

I'm desperate to buy pic related, not sure if it's worth it tho for $250+.

>>55695458
It's shit.

>>55689598
Yes. They won't be watch-sized with a conventional printer though.

>>55695315
Well it's not really a budget per se, just an estimated amount of the money I'll have saved up by the time I'm ready to buy another watch.
The seiko 5 is just a gift man. I'll take a 50 dollar gift from my parents, any thing else is too much.
That being said, I like sinn more than damasko, and definitely have that flieger chronograph on my to buy list.
Although I still don't know how I feel about the valjew 7750

>>55695527
I could also go with a SARB035 and an Alpinist.
Both make me moist as fuck and I find the 6r15 a very nice movement in terms of accuracy and service life & cost.

>>55695458
It's not worth $25, let alone $250. Don't buy replicas, buy vintage if money is short.

>>55691431

A good start.

Add day and date and I'd break my piggy bank. Also a Moon watch without a Moon phase indicator is just weird.

I also agree with fellow watch-anon that a Moon watch really should have a complication that showed the side of the Earth visible from the Moon.

All in all it is a good start but some very obvious features are missing. And I really WANT that.

There is something called style. Strictly speaking astronauts are in contact with ground control all the time (other tan a short period on the far side of the Moon) and a watch is probably not strictly needed. But it is nice.

This guy >>55697782 is right though thee are many ways to make the moon phase more readable. Certina has one approach, pic related.

Reminder that this is how your flieger/bauhaus looks like to other people.

My quartz Tissot Ballade wont change the date. The quickset works perfectly and smoothly, but after 24 hours the date will *maybe* work once, and then after the next 24 hours it will either try to turn but snap back to the where it was, or do nothing at all.
What do?

Pretty sure that's a day/night circle. Dark during pm, light during am.

Read the month closely. It's Jan • • Apr • • Jul • • Oct • • and then repeats again for all 4 years in a leap year cycle. That hand circles once every four years, not once a year

>>55702838
>That hand circles once every four years, not once a year
Completely fucking pointless. Especially knowing it will never make a full circle, unless you ignore regular service.

>>55702481
This.

>>55702881
Even if you were to go and service it every 3 years it's not like the hand resets back to zero after a service and never fully circles. So the need for service isn't relevant to if the design is 'pointless' or not. It conveys the information it conveys.

That being said if you were to go with a traditional 4-5 year service interval then it will circle fully between servicings.

The recraft series have non hacking and non handwound 7S26C movements as per the rest of the Seiko 5 line.

The neo-turtles have the 4R36 movement that you find in SARY, newer 5S , and Gen 2/2.5 Monster's series that hacks and handwinds. So far from experience it's as advertised, a reliable 7XXX series based movement with hacking and pretty comfy handwinding.

>The Catcher in the Rye is a masterpiece. The stories are even better.
Oh my god it's like I'm back in high school argueing with my feminist english teacher.
It's a fucking whine-fest. If I could ever go into another world I'd go into catcher and tell Holden to man the fuck up. The whole book is just about him being a little bitch.
And retards have the audacity to call the book a bildungsroman.
Compare Holden to Tom Sawyer. Both are discontent with their lives but the difference is that one of them is a little bitch that can't do shit but whine, run away and be a cuck.
It's not even a fucking tumblr post. It's a gia online post with a furry avatar about how he hates his parents and school.
Whenever you turn a page you half expect him to leave his address for shadow the hedgehog to come visit him.
>It's like calling Picasso a shit
Here's the difference between Picasso and Michelangelo.
Picasso was fucking insane. Meanwhile Michelangelo was a genius who was not only able to excel in his art, but also be a sane, functioning human.
Michelangelo fucking CREATED the norm.
It's as if you're saying Da Vinci was being cliche when making the mona lisa.
Come on dude. Don't be my feminst english teacher.

Well, at least the book posters show we are cultured. I have worked in many professions and there is one that really stands out as cultured where people are familiar with everything from Gilgamesh to Wm Gibson (a noted horologically interested author).

I had hoped we could get a discussion going on complications but no joy so far.

>>55705787
>I had hoped we could get a discussion going on complications
I hate to break it to you, but any complication over a chronograph is just made to attract rich chinks trying to compensate for their tiny dicks.
If by the off chance you need a complication like a moon phase, you buy a digital watch.

What profession is that?

Wow stop impersonating normies in my /wt/ pls.
i like this watch, its got a beautiful ultra thin movement and it could perhaps even be from before the movado design.
Also piaget is a respectable company.

>>55705275
Is it a marriage watch?
It looks p big

>>55705777
I'm sorry but I've never read Tom Sawyer since I'm not a burger and it's basically irrelevant anywhere else. Contrary to The Catcher in the Rye.
There's a huge difference between being a little bitch and being depressed, feeling discomfort, having no drive. You obviously don't have the sensibility to understanf that.

>Michelangelo
>a sane, functioning human
Are you for real? I'm laughing.
Next you'll tell me Caravaggio was an altar boy.

>>55705925
Are you fucking kidding?
Go read Tom Sawyer. I don't care if you're a euroshit.
I've been clinically depressed (diagnosed) and I powered through it while taking 2 18 credit semesters and finally studying for that garbage 4 hour long test I took yesterday and got a 95 on.
I didn't take medication (probably a bad move though) but I also didn't act like a little bitch.
Having no drive? I had to chug 4 mugs of heavy coffee in the morning to be able to go to class.
It eventually got so bad that I couldn't get out of bed, so I would put the coffee on my bedside so I could chug it and have the caffine jolt me back to being human.
Your shitty book explains nothing about depression. Stop yourself.

>>55705944
Will you fart on a watch before sending it out?
If so give me 5 farty terrorist watches

>>55706063
I think you have more problems other than clinical depression.
Depression alone isn't really a big deal, by the way.

I don't know why you're expecting a book to "explain" you something. Guess it's the Stemfag mentality.

>>55706215
Thats the whole fucking point of Catcher in the rye, that Holden is "Depressed"
Depression is a big fucking deal you retard.

>I don't know why you're expecting a book to "explain" you something.
Are you out of your fucking mind? Re-read that sentence and go sit in the corner for a bit.

No, it's not. I can tell. It's different when you actually have a reason to be depressed, something that creates an impossible to remove "barrier" between you and other people.
>your shitty book explains nothing about depression
Books don't explain anything. At least narrative fiction.

I had no idea that market was so big.

It is not a question of what I need it is just that I think it would be neat. I could of course get a planishere or astrolabe app on my phone but that will lack the finesse.

>What profession is that?
I am a patent agent. Like many agents I used to be a researcher (Physics in my case), then went to software, hardware and system development to finally get a salary that enabled me to pay down student loans. Then the triple whammy of downturn, outsourcing being fashionable and the idea of anyone over 35 being unfit to develop stuff hit, I transitioned to my present profession.

>>55705944

I haven't drank coffee in about a month now.
I don't need it anymore.
I worked out that being hopped up on caffeine is better than drug side effects, and because I'm pretty autistic I had an issue with drugs effecting my emotions; now matter how shit they were.
Now that I basically have no stressors for the time being, and my high grade is giving me a nice feeling of comfort and reinforcement I'm very happy.
Also watches
I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a classically design daily wearer. The bracelet is literally magic.

Grades and all are fine, but you might as well go end yourself if you recommend that to anybody.

Different anon here.

Try living on army food that's laced with so much baking soda that you can only shit once every 3 days. Plus so much baking soda that your cock won't function.

Luckily that's the shit they only give to recruits.

>>55706718
For a 17 cuckbuck watch I think it's pretty fucking nice
>>55706743
The bracelet is the best part though

>>55706989

Do you really blouse your boots with a zip-tie?

Blousing your boots is so... GI Joe wannabe loser to begin with, but doing with a zip-tie is just a whole other level of autism.

>It's a huge market.
It will be interesting to see if China takes the same rute with watchmaking as in phones and, as with Xiaomi, making high-ish end market product themselves.

>I feel you though. STEM is a shitty meme. I'm almost sure by the time I'm out pharmacy is going to be a dead profession.
Pharma is a huge industry in terms of patenting so we see a bit what is happening there. Long story but let's say not all is smelling roses. Still, they have a 20 year horizon so jobs will not implode yet in spite of patent cliff warnings.

next generation will probably be programmed nanotech which will blur the boundaries between medicine and software.

>I just hope Dubai still creams it's pants over Western degree holders. Nice watch scene there too.
Get a PhD, do 5+ years in R&D and jump over to patent work. A solid degree will be appreciated and work is interesting. And you will have an excellent alibi for wearing a dress watch daily.

>>55706989
>Try living on army food that's laced with so much baking soda that you can only shit once every 3 days.
I did national service but never had any idea about this. Had a 9 day constipation once, enforced due to arctic conditions, the horror the horror.

>>55707052
>blouse your boots
Don't forget this isn't an American only website. See >>55705408

And no, that's purely to keep the dogtags in the boots.

Other options are either the shitty plastic rivets that they supply you with and have to be replaced every month or bolting them in.

>>55707101

>>55706989
>Plus so much baking soda that your cock won't function.
Never had that problem, even when they gave me Valium + Androcur, I seriously doubt soda could do worse than those.
Plus I have stomach and intestinal problems, no coffee required.

My friend. When it is -40 C and windy and you are on an exercise in the arctic field far away from conveniences like toilets you will do anything and I mean ANYTHING to avoid taking a dump as this could mean catastrophic cooling of nether regions.

This means dieting and bowel de-movement and human self control that would scare the daylight out of yogi masters. In the interest of good taste and the presence of at least one lady I shall refrain from detailing what happened on reaching camp and warm toilets.

Arctic in winter is of course dark and I would have liked some heavy duty tritium lit watch face.

Oh i had enough kitchen duty to see how much do they lace it with, and that everything is laced with it.

Even the fucking salad.

>>55707245
We had one guy who couldn't shit for 7 days and they sent him over to the hospital.

Though it's hard to say whether it's better to do it in a 35~40c heat or in arctic conditions, but what's true is that everybody suffers.

Question though, with what kind of rifles did you do it with? Or does national service mean you don't get to shoot shit?

>>55707245
Why would you put yourself in a situation where you have to avoid to shit for 9 days?
Even if it's -40 just shit, you can't avoid it. If you're fast it will take what, 3 minutes?
>>55707330
>Oh i had enough kitchen duty to see how much do they lace it with, and that everything is laced with it.
But why would they do that anyway?

>>55707138
>I don't even understand how that could happen, I mean, if you eat, you shit.
Ah the wonders of the gastrointestinal system.
>>55707101
I'm going for a Pharm.D, not a PhD. I'm thankfully smart enough not to cuck myself by going into research. Imagine being around chemists all day..I'd actually rather kill myself.

>>55707330
>Though it's hard to say whether it's better to do it in a 35~40c heat or in arctic conditions, but what's true is that everybody suffers.
Generally hotter conditions will result in diarrhea.
When you sweat out most of your salt content the hypothalamus responds by slowing down water absorption in the small intestine and kidney. It does so to keep the blood isotonic.
The result is dark piss and watery stools.

>>55707431
>If you're fast it will take what, 3 minutes?
I'm not too sure you know how cold -40 is.
3 minutes at that, and you've got a significantly reduced sperm producing capability.

History lesson time.

One of the issues that Wermacht soldiers faced in the Russian winter is taking a shit. A lot of them were sick with Dysentery as well.

If you took down your pants to take a shit in the open (which in the vast wilderness of Russia is all you got) you were very likely to freeze to death in the process. So the only thing to do was to cut a hole to in your pants to shit through so as to not to freeze to death.

So taking a shit in subarctic conditions isn't fun.

>But why would they do that anyway?
For two reasons simple reasons. First to avoid >>55707468, second to kill all the sexual urges of the recruits.

>>55707468
Yup.

I think i used to drink anywhere from 4 to 6 liters of water per day.

>>55707493
Forever?
Anyway I still don't understand why you would need stay for a period that long out in the open at -40.
>>55707505
But 35 degrees isn't a lot. I'm pretty supsceptible to diarrhea and it doesn't affect me. Strange.
Why kill the sexual urges? Why do it with soda? It won't work anyway if it's a real urge.

I don't want to be contrarian but it really sounds retarded to me.

>>55707673
>Why kill the sexual urges? Why do it with soda? It won't work anyway if it's a real urge.

It kills the cock, at least for the first month or so till either you give up or overcome it. As to why? You don't want entire platoons of recruits beating it off all night long.

Also, try running in full (old and crappy) uniform with vests, helmets, extra equipment and Vietnam era M16A1/A2's (20" barrel version, gen 1 handguard) in said heat.
