if i ever see someone wearing a watch with that design, seiko or omega, ill just have 0 respect for them at laugh internally

>>56012200
Does anyone, ever, care about your respect?

I have spotted and negotiated a deal for a watch.

It's a about a decade old, mid to high grade automatic ETA movement, "mint" condition (i see no big scratches), comes with box and papers. The jeweler selling it says all watches are serviced before sale.

The price is a solid $1k cheaper than more recently produced versions of the watch.

I've asked before but I'll ask again. Should I go for it?

Opinions?

>>56012704

Also I should say the more recent versions of the watch in new unworn condition are sold for about $3800.

>>56012704
is it some breitling or something?

a lot of people (in america) carry concealed at work. most people who carry every day aren't just going to take it off unless their workplace has stringent policies and actually check. It may seem foreign to you (wherever you are from, including America) to that people might carry firearms and really hope never to use them. But when that mass shooter comes into your workplace, you might want a gun after all

Swiss Quartz is a fucking meme, and everyone who buys that trash is a sucker.

You can get watches of identical quality, with sapphire windows, and Japanese-made automatic movements, for $195.

Also, that fucking kickstarter:
>Quality timepieces usually come at an extra-inflated price
No they fucking don't, the watch industry is extremely competitive, which is why these turds are aimed squarely at people who aren't watch enthusiasts.

>We want to make it easier to invest in things that last
Invest? Very few watches are investments, and what's not going to last is the battery on those non-solar movements.

Solar movements aren't known to last as well, you will eventually need to change the Lithium ion in them.

Why the fuck did Seiko give the Sumo such a nicely designed and finished case, then went ahead and fucked its shit up with a chink-tier aluminum bezel and shitty bracelet?

Looking for a good all-round watch to replace my Citizen. I dress pretty preppy so I was thinking either a dressy Seiko SARB065 or a cheap entry-level diver but I don't know which ones I should look at. Timex Weekender Fairfield looks good for a beater but it's quartz and I'd prefer automatic.

Thoughts?

>>56015723
To be sure just hand-wind it ~30 turns before wear (if it's been sitting there overnight), or shake vigorously for 20 sec or so if no handwinding. Schedule your faps in the morning, put it on your fapping arm, and just beat the shit out of your cock/gspot. That'll do it.

Can someone tell me about Parnis watches? Do they not have a website? Do they typically just make replicas/homages? How are their movements? I'm the guy from the other thread that doesn't really know shit about watches.

That was another question I had. How are Orient watches?

>>56020060
Fine. Some of the designs are a little..

But otherwise they're fine. Particularly at the lower end.

And since you're new, I'll clear up a common misconception. orientwatchesusa.com is not orient, it's a retailer (and on the back end, a distributor.) Lots of people get their orient watches thru websites like creationwatches and longisland.

Not a real brand. Just a label that multiple factories from China use as a pseudo-brand. Some of them use decent Seagull movements. I wouldn't recommend buying one though. If you want to buy a Chinese watch buy a legit Seagull watch like pic related. This one uses a Seagull's movement which is an almost 1:1 copy of a 2824, so runs at 28,880 vph, etc. You can get this for $115 off ebay. The reason why it's cheap is because they just give you the watch in a bag with no packaging. If you buy it from Seagull's website you will get a box, packaging and instructions but it will cost close to $300.

Here's the back with the model number (819.368). Also, does anyone know how they are able to copy a 2824? Is it because they don't give a fuck about copyright or do they have some kind of licensing deal with ETA? Or is the 2824 just patent-expired?

>>56020291

The copy is so good it has fooled alot of people

>>56021876

Which retard at Seiko decided the Black; easily the most popular color, shouldn't have a bracelet option?
Seiko rubber straps fucking suck, having to boil them every 2 weeks isn't ideal for anyone involved.
Also why the fuck are the prices so fucked up?
On amazon the Blue is FIVE HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS while the black/gold is ~$370.
It's been SIX months since the watch came out, why are prices not finalized yet?

>>56021940

What

It's a one time thing, really. Are you fully heating then fully cooling the strap to the core?

>>56021940

Seiko makes deliciously comfy rubber straps. I pretty much only buy the rubber version of Seiko divers now.

>>56021965
The cheaper ones have a memory and go back to fitting like shit after 2 or 3 weeks, and the expensive ones have that shitty metal keep that digs into your wrist like no other

The question coming from someone who doesn't need to re-do the shaping of my strap every couple weeks.

>>56022122
The plastic SKX strap is shit. I don't understand what you're defending here.
I tried the turtle one and while it's miles better, the keep is a massive deal breaker.
I just want the black Turtle on the bracelet. I don't understand why this is impossible for Seiko to fathom.

>>56021819
>>56021940
>>56022168
Your anger is so much fun.

I sincerely hope Seiko never launches a bracelet for the Black Turtle; or a rubber strap that feels comfortable to you.

>>56022273
Jokes on you, a strap code bracelet is leagues ahead of the stock one and the oyster version is only 80 bucks.
So for only 50 bucks more (compared to the gold/black on bracelet) I get a much better bracelet.

Forefront? Rolex is an extremely conservative brand. Hardly the forefront.

You have makers like Greubrel Forsey that have been making things like double 30 degree tourbillon movements and Patek and VC making the most complicated watches in the world.

Not that Rolex can't do good, but they don't do forefront. That's not their M.O.

Selling or just asking? Because for the handywork you could go a bit higher. Not much, maybe 30€ to make it a round figure. You know that all that 'restored', 'first owner', 'decorated ETA movement' stuff. But yea.

The in-house Black Bay and Pelagos will not drop below 3k they linger exactly there. The ETA 2824 version you can have 1.5k-2k but 2k is pushing it because this move from ETA to in-house have really cause a lot of people to drop theirs onto the market. Only the collectable BBs are still retaining their value.

Wait a few more years and you can have them for Seiko prices.

Hamilton vs Tissot?
And how legit is Jomashop?
I saw it posted on here I think so I'm assuming it's fine to buy from.
Looking at at Hamilton Jazzmaster for my first watch that costs over 50 bucks.
This is the current extent of my collection.

Then it most certainly is worth that amount. But the market for restored swiss watches from the 60s and 70s is a lot smaller than /wt/ would like to admit, because of the palette of styles that arent for everyones taste. I myself like the 60s swiss movements because that was when the Wehrmachtswerk/ETA reached the mass production phase and started making all these styles of watchea with more or less same swiss movements.

>>56025224

Personally I would pick Hamilton over Tissot every time. As for Jomashop I've never used them myself but from what I've read things are usually fine but when something goes wrong they have absolutely horrible customer service.

>-same movement

No.
While it may still be a 2824-2, it's not the same grade.
The Black Bay uses a Chronometer movement, far more accurate. Much higher quality.

>-same sapphire crystal
It being sapphire does not make it the same, no two will ever be the same by shear virtue of the production process.

>-a bit shittier stainless

Tudor gets their cases right from Rolex do they not? So grade of the steel is expected to be less in a $400 watch.

-both are not COSC
Black Bay is a Chronometer.

I'm more of a fan of the (IWC-ripped) aviation style Chris Wards, rather than the diving watches.

I don't really want to get another ETA movement -- I have a Longines retrograde that is on the border of unacceptable losing of time over a month -- but I also don't know how I feel like spending min $5k for something in-house.

The Visodate is down to £400 should I go for it?

Learn how to regulate a mechanical movement, even the ETA 2824-2 has a micro-adjuster and should be able to be regulated to within +- 5s/d easily.

>>56029149

Ya I'll have to look into that. I just got it repaired/serviced (dropped it onto tile floor, broke the main spring) about 2 months ago but haven't worn it much since. I'll have to get it back to daily wear and see what it's like now after some work has been done.

I see it as going after the Tag Heuer/Omega diver market. People who would never plop money down on a Submariner can say they own something Rolexish.

That said, looking at the divers from Sinn, I couldn't see owning anything else if I were considering getting one.

>>56026899

Yes

>>56026899
No. That picture supports my assertion.

It's brought me nothing but pain after someone pointed out that the no date Tangente Gangreserve has a needlessly shrunken sub seconds dial that is used for the version with the date window at the bottom. It's all I ever notice now.

Pulled the trigger on the GS 5722-9990.
Apart from the stains on the dial, it looks fantastic, barring the microscratches due to use. It didn't have its original strap anymore, but the owner threw in a modern GS deployant clasp instead, which is a nice touch.
Just a little pricier than some 5722-9990s I've seen sold, but I figure the cost of the clasp covers it anyway. The seller also gave me the contacts of someone who works in Cartier's service center if I ever need anything serviced.

I think i've said earlier that the clasp is a 150$ on it's own at-least.

But that staining on the hands and window is the same as on my LM Special, meaning they both were in the same state originally.

>>56028071
You are either ignorant or being un-truthful.

The 2824 Black Bay has never been Chronometered, the Pelagos and North Bay with the in-house movement is and rightfully displayed on the dial. Yes the 2824 in the BB is modified but its NOT of higher quality, just because Tudor made some modifications it doesn't mean its automatically higher quality. You're right about sapphire crystal, however both watch does have the AR coating and made out of sapphire so basically all of the same features. To say that one sapphire is better than the other then you must know the metallurgy of both in detail which I highly doubt you do. Again not saying that Steinhart is just as good, of course not one is a $350 watch the other is a $4k watch. You can't compare the two, but for the value the Steinhart is a very good buy. What I was implying in response of the post I was replying to was both houses make Rolex homages, however Tudor just happened to be owned by Rolex. I will allow the consumer to decide on its quality since no one is the clear expert. We see many reviews comparing them to Omegas and Tudors

There would be if the current GMT Master wasn't in white gold. Or if Rolex would figure out how to make a subtle, non-cyclops date window for the Milgauss, maybe at 3:30 or 4:30.
