Still more accurate than anything from Patek Phille, Rolex and IWC. Enjoy fapping to overpriced snake oil though, I highly doubt you have the capability to purchase one anyways with the way you value things.

>>56032522
I never gotten why Steinhard is considered trash for ripping off Rolex design, when Seiko is doing literally the same thing. And Seiko rip-offs are even cheaper.

I can understand the hate on Invictas, because these are poor and LQ rip-offs.

>>56032728
cool microrotor

>>56032522
Having held both Ocean One, and OVM in my hands, I can safely say that I 40% agree with you.

The vast majoirty of Steinharts range need not exist, they're good watches, but you can only pay so much Homage until you start to just outright insult the original.

The OVM is a damned nice watch for the price, you're going to have a hard time finding a better one outside of the used market. My own real peeve with the OVM is the end-centre link, it is squared off, doesn't fit too well with the endlinks and produce an aesthetic flaw, which can be quite annoying. But a strap soon fixes this.

Steinhart could do well if they get the right creative minds in to design decent dials, should they remain on ETA's good side and keep receiving 2824's that is.

I will never understand it either, the vitriol against Steinhart all over the internet amazes me. I mean lets compare >>56032522 to its closest Steinhart comparison. Notice how they look quite similar its because the Seiko is a Rolex Copy. Okay lets compare them:

Seiko Shogun:
-Seiko movement, made in Japan 23 6r15
-21500 bph
-mineral glass
-Seiko in house chinkmade Lumibrite
-200m rated ISO 6425
-shit band
-assembled in Malaysia
-$1000+
-resale $400-$500 via ebay

Steinhart OVM
-Swiss ETA 2824-2 custom
-28800 bph
-domed sapphire with AR coating
-lume provided by Super Luminova
-300m rated DIN 8310
-shit band
-assembled in Switzerland
-$320
-resale $500-$700 via ebay

>>56032522
That's surprisingly tasteful.

>-shit band
That's not fair to either the Shogun or the Steinhart.

The clasp on the Steinhart is pretty poor by direction comparison to the exceptional bracelet (Considering the price of the watch) but by all accounts, the Shogun has a pretty solid bracelet.

Also I'd say that the Sumo is more so a direction comparison to the OVM

The Sumo has even worst specs than the Steinhart, the accuracy of the 4r(21 Jewel, 18500 bph) drops even further against the Steinhart(25 Jewel).

>>56033144
Not a fan of the strap, but otherwise very nice.

How much are you looking at for getting a Co-ax serviced? Hear-say leads me to believe they are ridiculously more expensive than it should otherwise be.

Horrible.

>>56033155
>The Sumo has even worst specs than the Steinhart
But lies within the same price range, so is a better comparison by that fact.

>>56033155
Steinhart is 12 +/- v. Seiko's 20 +/- both of these are in the warranty cards. Yes its not much for either but you're really getting closer to 4-5 +/- with the Steinhart and we all know is never regulated for shit.

That's the V.1 sat there, the colour is far nearer to Yellow than the V.2

Each to their own though.
I quite like it as a colour, not something you see used often, a nice change from the usual Black/White that every diver uses.

I thought only Omega themselves would handle servicing Co-Ax movements? Something to do with the surgical amount of lube if I recall the reasoning correctly.

But hey, if locals will take it on and are capable of it then that's awesome, especially if you're on good terms with the store owners.

The town jeweller here is a family friend, and a seiko dealer. He managed to get his hands on an SARX015 for me, very happy when it arrived.

>>56033538
They're going to need to be 'certified' to get replacement components and shit from omega, but it's not fundamentally different from any other watch. They can still do basic service without that

You seem to think that someone can gather the wide spectrum of your "refined taste" from a single anonymous post on a Hungarian Traditional Wedding Planning website.

>>56033538
Nope, the co-axial has been around for years now and many watchmakers will work on them. As NineBall mentioned above, Omega offers a certification program to independent watchmakers. There are several in my area who are certified.
The good news is that mine won't need servicing for several more years.

The previously aforementioned town jeweller uses a Rolex/Omega approved workshop up towards London, so all watch related work is done up there, that cannot be done in the store that is.

It's actually 904L and no Tudor uses regular 316L that every else uses. Also 904L is mostly just marketing bullshit. It's only advantage over 316L steel is increased corrosion resistance which is meaningless to 99% of the people who own or will ever own a Rolex.

>>56035412
Tritium is less bright than lumibrite and even superluminova after a recent charge. It takes a while for normal lumed paint to lose enough energy for it to be more dim than tritium, and dives are generally not long affairs.

Also, I know I've posted a lot about lume before but:

If you're new to this discussion, as far as I know Seiko hasn't sold any Lumibrite to Citizen to use on their watches.

Afaik any claim of citizen lumibrite has been by retailers. That or possibly by regular internet people who often like to lump seiko in with citizen in a vague implication that Japanese companies are 'the same' or something while swiss companies are special. For the anon that quoted wikipedia they mention nothing for Citizen in the references, and I can't find anything from Citizen's current or past watch announcements mentioning lumibrite.

If you've followed any of the news about lume, you may have heard of the development of Tritec's Super-Luminova 'X1' which is suppose to be fantastic, particularly in how long it's suppose to maintain a bright glow and is being developed along with their 'japanese partners.'

If only it had any of the vaunted Sinn technologies, or I'd have snatched one in a heartbeat. At least it has a top grade movement.

I've just bought pic related for $470 (used with box & papers near mint condition - bought new a couple of months ago). How'd I do? Would have preferred something slightly smaller, but I think it'll serve as a good replacement to the King Seiko as an actually wearable dress watch, and a complement to my german military and tool watches.

>>56036803
You did pretty good. I'm not a fan of Roman numerals, or classic script, or a jewel count on the dial, or alligator leather, but it's a solid watch.

Seriously though, that watch looks like a misguided Japanese attempt to imitate English high-society, pre-war fashion.

>>56036889
I'm ambivalent about all those things, but the blue crescent hand and the enamel dial won me over.

Shitters!

Hey guys, I don't know much about watches and I'm sure I'm going to get ripped apart but I'm looking for some purchasing advice..

What I'm looking for:
Under $250
Minimal design
Black and gold

I don't care about how accurate it is, I want it for fashion – daily use in an office setting.

I'm debating between:
https://www.vitalydesign.ca/products/10-17-x-brushed-gold-leather?variant=20588787716

http://www.mvmtwatches.com/collections/men/products/chrono-gold-black-leather?variant=undefined

I know they aren't the quality that you guys are all about and I'll probably just get told to fuck off but any type of guidance would be helpful...

Honest question:
What's the time elapse on that picture?

I was wondering how a mechanical watch knows what day it is every month. For instance how does it know it's February with 28 days?

>>56037572
Jesus no. I've already sworn off ever getting a Reverso now that they make me think of Archie every time I look at one.

Crown being on the "wrong" side for watches that's intended to be worn on the left wrist was apparently a special forces requirement, since the crown won't interfere with tactical gear, according to a Watchbuys rep I chatted with at their roadshow. So buy it and feel all tacticool and shit.

why not just use your phone?

It's a fucking measuring tool, you retard. Watches don't know shit, in fact they will always go on until the 31st unless the watch has a perpetual calendar complication. You set by hand, it takes 2 seconds.
$1000 aren't much for a watch, in fact a watch that costs that much isn't even considered a luxury watch.

And this is coming from someone who owns 4 watches, about to receive a 5th. Nobody gives a flying fuck what watch you wear, someone might comment on it if they like how it looks, but it doesn't influence their opinions in any way.

Of course but people don't like to be shown up by people lower on the chain that them.

if you show up to an entry level position in a bespoke suit and a $5k watch you'll look beyond ridiculous.

Cheapest I can turn up is £365, and that's on eBay.
They're near £500 on Amazon.

What is Nathan Drake's watch and where can I buy it?

>>56045231
I'd say it's based on some TAG HUEHUEHUEHUE Chrono or another.

Looks like a zulu strap.

>>56044781
No watch with fake "aged" lume, no matter how good it is otherwise, can be considered acceptable.

>>56044785
Is this supposed to be a compliment or a diss

>>56044970
nighthawk? I like it desu
wouldn't get one for myself though

casio please...

>>56045613
Just imagine if that seiko was a monopusher chrono with minutes on the subdial and no running seconds
best watch ever made

>>56045710
And no £500 watch that is so monstrously outclassed by one £200 cheaper can be considered acceptable either.

Both Sumo and OVM are great watches, but to try and compare them is pointless, in the end it comes down to what you like to see and what you are willing to spend. To simply say "X is better than Y at this pricepoint" is purely opinionated and is no foundation for a discussion or argument.

You don't like the false patina, fine, don't buy an OVM.
I don't like the Sumo, I think it's hideous with obnoxious styling. So I won't buy it.

>>56045722
I assume he is insulting the idea of wearing a Rolex.

how long would i be able to use a DBC-611 before all the paint starts falling off?

>>56045903
Probably about 15 minutes.

>>56045653
But I took such bad photos of them. The Milgauss especially looks really bad in my picture.

Any idea how to moderately weaken a mainspring? I have a vintage movement that suffers from rebanking because of a modern replacement mainspring that's too strong.

For those who don't know, rebanking:

By buying quartz penises as well.

>>56046565
Anyone? Really, why is this thread still on /g/? We can circlejerk about brands on /fa/ too.

>>56047167
Heating is the first idea I get, but not really controllable as to the extent of the weakness. More so a shot in the dark.

I suppose all you can do is get a lower grade spring with less tension.

>>56047216
How about straightening it a bit?

>>56047167
>Lyke, omg, people on 4chan should be willing to help me whenever i ask within the hour!

>>56047225
Wouldn't help much.

Either get a different spring as anon said or attempt to cut the current one.

>>56047225
These really are more so questions for watchmaker anon.

>>56047240
Cutting it will keep the torque the same and only decrease the running time.

>>56047238
As if you know a solution, dipshit!

>>56047288
>The average person should know the intricacies of watchmaking.

Let's face it. If you knew shit, you wouldn't be asking for help with it.
We're trying to help by throwing out suggestions, upon which you should then research to see the results.

The only way you can guarantee a fix without going over the top for this shit, is just to get a weaker mainspring, while the run time will also be reduced, you will not suffer the effects of rebanking.

Odd.

I recall discussing it with a soviet watchmaker while he was working on one of my slav watches that they used to slightly chop some of it off, heat it for a while and slightly bend it to proper fit the barrel. Could be because they were given universally big replacement mainsprings though.

Either way, quit being a (terrible) kike and buy a new lower tension mainspring.

>will be going to an AD to buy my first Rolex
Okay /wt/ what the fuck do I do not to spaghetti all over their nice floors? I am nervous as fuck.

>>56047392
>Okay /wt/ what the fuck do I do not to spaghetti all over their nice floors?
Act normal?
Just browse while waiting.
Make general conversation.

They're no doubt used to some people being a little giddy when buying an expensive watch like a Rolex, so don't contain yourself too much as to seem clammy.

Fucking idiot, you can easily check the time with all the lights off if you angle the watch right.

What's the Ferrari of watches? Patek?
Who's the Lamborghini?

>>56048397
Ferrari has that whole owner's club situation, where you have to already own one to even be considered as a human being by the salesman. But quality-wise, Patek seems like a good fit.

Lamborghini would be a brand for posers, watches that are expensive and look nice, but have no horological interest.
