T..thanks sempai...

It's going to be a big jump for me, a SKX beater into a Rolex. This will be the first of many I promised myself, well now that I can afford it, a watch a year. I was planning on a red bezel BB(used) for my first watch but I decided to say fuck it and get the one I wanted the most first. A Submariner. Think I'd go...

1. Sub (Brand new 114060 I've been jerking to this thing for a few weeks now, its one of the best sellers so very hard to find a place with one in stock)
2. BB red bezel ETA 2824 (used)
3. Pelagos blue (used possibly but I don't mind new)

Then I'd be done, but a part of me wanted to swap the BB for a GMT. Overall my end game is going to have 1 Rolex as my base, the Sub.

Pretty sure the op doesnt even own a watch

A nice shopping list. Will certainly make for a nice collection.
Personally not a fan of Tudors, the hour hand is just a massive turnoff for me, but if you like it then you go right ahead and grab 'em, very good watches either way.

I do agree with you, which is why I am iffy about the BB. After the 114060 I will already own Merc hands. Another thing I do not like about the BB is the 2824, sure its a great movement but I prefer in-house. I might replace it with pic related on my list.

For the Pelagos, I love the moderness of the watch but I could live without it...

>>56047614
>Steinshit
lol well I hope you enjoy it. Don't get me wrong Steinshit is a great value, I just don't agree with them just throwing a movement into a watch with even refining it just a little. I mean this fucking watch has no date window, but you have a date adjustment. That shit sets off my autism into fucking defcon 1.

>>56047655
Perhaps look at some Omegas? Seamaster 300 perhaps?

>I mean this fucking watch has no date window, but you have a date adjustment. That shit sets off my autism into fucking defcon 1.
You started off with some severe autism, but your justification is sound.
And I completely agree with you, the least they could do is remove the redundant date complication if they've no intention of it being implemented.

Reposting my post regarding stein"shit" from previous thread.

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.

Don't get me wrong, I agree with you. And I wouldn't call Steinhart shit if they were to be more selective/tasteful with their homages.

OVM1/2 - great homage, I would have owned one if it weren't for my autism and what I view is an obvious flaw of the watch.

Anything else from them that looks like a Submariner(besides the basic black/date)/GMT/Deepsea not needed IMHO. Their brass one, very creative and a contender to my collection if only it didn't have a date adjustment the same flaw the OVM had.

Then it all went to shit when they introduced the fucking Titanium abomination, you kinda see them for what they are, a company that has a complete lack of creativity. When they aren't copying a Rolex/IWC their line turned into shit.

Of course there are some surprises out of them, namely pic related. However they went and fucking discontinue the GMT and 3ATM just isn't enough for me why not 5ATM?

>>56047800
>>56047823
>They are legal and not copies, there are no markings of any kind they call it "sterile"

All they did was take a bunch of dials off the assembly line right before they got to the fake rolex marking part. It's a fake a nothing else.

>>56047906

untrue, there are no markings on the bezel or clasp or set knob

they are doing legit business, these are not fake rolexes they are swiss eta movement watches with no markings. If you saw someone wearing one you would not think it was a rolex

that movement is used in a lot of watches

>>56047896
Steinhart could do really, really well if they just got the right designers in there. Would be nice to see.

>>56048015
>If you saw someone wearing one you would not think it was a rolex
Nigger you can spot a Rolex a mile away, or any tasteless homage it may be.

One pays homage to vintage watches, or limited run products.

The Submariner has had so much "homage" paid to it that they really are at this point just shameless copies.

Basically any watch that looks like that is a copy to the Submariner. One of the things Seiko gets flak about is being called the company that sells cheap Rolex knockoffs.

It's watching the surprise on people's faces when they find out that you are wearing a real Rolex(no fucking Thailand made ticktock or cheapo miyota movement) Submariner is the reason I want one. To be able to say that I own an original to something that has been copied literally billions of times.

>>56048073

I just like the blank face not showing off a brand name

it's clearly a cheap watch and nobody who knows anything about watches would think you were trying to pass it off as a rolex (That is what makes something a fake)

>>56048087

I would like a seiko with no name on it

the names on watch faces bother me, i think it's pretentious

>>56047896
>and what I view is an obvious flaw of the watch.
Let me guess, the "aged" patina look?

>>56048165
Not even that, its the fact that you can adjust the date on the watch without a date window. I just feel it is poor taste and a lack of effort on Steinhart's part.

>>56048087

Entirely justified. But I feel that should they have included a date window, it would look out of place, and ruin the appearance of the watch.
Though they still could remove it from the movement if they never intended on using it.

People do actually, pic related is the best selling Seiko line in the world. You can do the research, the SKX also sells pretty well but it is far eclipsed by this line. And when people asks for it, its usually "get me that Seiko Rolex style."

Plenty of modded Seiko's on the market with no names, or just mod it yourself with an unbranded aftermarket dial (See 656 homages)

>>56048087
A lot of companies copied Rolex's design, Citizen, Orient and a few Swiss companies to boot.

I don't like it but I never owned one It must be popular with watchfags for a good reason.

>>56048206
I call bullshit. Casio and Citizen both have similar models, but none of them get shit for being a knockoff maker.

>>56048207
I agree, a modded SKX a $150 is more respectable than a Submariner knockoff with no name. I personally liked this mod myself, its a bit overpriced so I won't be considering it.

>>56048267
They don't get shit for it, but they are called Rolex style. Japan has been universally shat on in the past decades(70s-90) for being called the country that copies shit so much so that it became a pop-culture thing. It was only later with the emergence of Made in China where Made in Japan meant quality.

>>56048206
Why would you pay a lot more for a watch with only marginally more accurate time and a little better finish?

>>56048268
Not sure exactly what mod you're talking about, as the 656 homage is based on the SNK809.

But you could also get a sterile dial for a SKX or even an already modded 7002. (Since an unmodded 7002 is somewhat of a fucking treasure by now).

>>56048316
>But you could also get a sterile dial for a SKX

where, i don't see them on ebay

>>56048302
The Seiko is actually more accurate than the Rolex. However you wear a Rolex along with your polo shirt and pressed custom suit to compliment who you are.

Isn't Rolex babby's first nouveau riche watch?

>>56048343
Depends, he's using an HDR filter to potentially hide some flaws but since its a beater who the fuck cares. This is the 150m version being its quite old since the 200m version has been introduced two decades ago so it might need some work to be accurate. If you don't mind it being +/- 1-2 minutes a day(which is completely unacceptable, in comparison a Rolex is +/- 2 seconds guaranteed a day) then it should be fine.

>>56048411

blah you really think it will be off by 2mins a day?

I just want it as a cheap beater to play with

>>56048343
Dial and hands are unoriginal/aftermarket. Basically another 7002 thrown together from aftermarket parts, worth 75$ at most.

Though even for one of these it's decently put toghether, it has the rather uncommon lumed aftermarket dial, and that insert looks interesting, not original as well but different from the standard Chinese aftermarket inserts.

>>56048328
Yobokies occasionally sells one, but Dagaz is a prime source.

Neither on eBay.

>>56048427
Unless he got it serviced which normally cost $125 then yes, however I highly highly doubt he got it serviced selling it at this price.

>>56048442

it says in the description it's been serviced

if i win it and if it's off by that much every day ill resell it with full disclosure and probably get 50bucks for it

so ill be out like 40 bucks, sucks to be me, thanks though

If it has been serviced then you got yourself a pretty decent beater. However who knows if he's lying or not. Get the watch app and test its regulation.

>>56048433
The dial is an original Seiko, its from SKX173, I have one myself. No idea why someone would intentionally mod a 007 into a 173 though. I haven't serviced her since I bought it in 2003, but so far she's only running at 10-15 +/- which is acceptable for me.

Anon, that's a 7002 and not a SKX, definitely not the same watch. Different movement (7002 vs 7S26) and the SKX173&007 have a day display to boot.

I understand there was a shitposting spergout going on, but no need to get caught in it.

Back to the matter at hand, there are a few decent guides on buying 7002 divers that clearly show and state on how to catch onto these aftermarket thrown together pieces and see original un-Philipino'd pieces.

Though they aren't bad for beaters.

>>56048178
>already thick watch hovering three feet above your wrist

>>56048613
Because I love divers, always have and always will. These are the watches that grab at me, there are some dresses that is changing my perspective like the Reverso. But overall my life long dream is to buy a Sub after I am in a position to afford one meaning.

-have a $350k house in a decent area(I'm no where a richfag and this area is decent with good neighbors)
-not be in debt(only thing left is mortage, car note and Sallie Mae bullshit, 0 CC debt)
-6 figure job(barely 6 figures 105k but I am comfy since no wife and kids)

I met I would say 2/3 of that criteria.

I am sure there are timepieces and industrial clocks that can do that (for use in factories and shit)

but since you would burn to death I doubt and wrist watch could take that abuse because nobody would bother to design one that could

My statement was more of a hyperbole than an actual statement of where the watch is made. There are more Rolex sold in America than anywhere else in the world. Look man Glocks are also made in Austria but it doesn't stop it from being called the modern American pistol. We are Americans, we take things that are good and claim it as our own, that's what we do.

>>56048675

For really fucked up ones perhaps, decently clean examples that are mostly from aftermarket parts, and perhaps 80~85$ for original ones in bad to poor shape with a replacement inserts.

With all the buggery that comes from the movement being in either a completely un-serviced state or Philippino serviced, it's easier to just buy a brand new SKX before the price jump up again. (Still somewhat available at 175$~)

So if Archie is right about certain models of Rolexes appreciating in value, why hasn't a bank started offering loans secured by Rolexes as collateral? Considering the number of suckers going into debt purchasing one, all you have to do is price the loan slightly below credit card debt, say at 12%. Of course you'd only advance 50% of LTV at most, and limit it to specific models from specific years (and with box and papers and documented service history) to minimalise risk of franken watches. And require insurance of course. Does the county accept UCC filings on watchs? There's money to be made, fäms.

What you never see is a 5 year old ferrari with 50,000 or 60,000 miles on it, you see them 5 years old with 4,000 miles on them

no matter how rich you are they are weekend cars you don't drive them to and from work every day and to run errands, they are unreliable and don't take miles well. Also they draw attention 100% of the time

on the other hand you can buy a porshe and drive it like a honda accord and nobody thinks twice of it, you see used porsches with tons of miles on them

>>56051320
They should put it on even more things. Trigger more autism.

>>56051320
Power Reserve indicators on the back with a display caseback can be a nice touch. I cannot recall for the life of me which watch I have seen this on though.

I know I've seen that on some Panerai movements but I'm going to assume that's not what you're thinking of.

>>56051414
It was more so in the hours fashion that you see on the dial of the Royal Orient. If this at all helps, but yeh, good to know I wasn't just imagining the power reserve indicator on the back being a thing.

$300?
$400?

Preferably one with a brown leather strap.

I used to wear a breitling, which was way less recognizable than a sub, and I would notice other people noticing my watch without saying anything. Im pretty sure that it's more a case of you not noticing it.

>>56053102
Was it a 46mm white and black, high contrast monster?

>>56051875
I use it for work as well, it's durable and survives contact with chemicals, but it gained notoriety for being a straightforward timer in bomb building and individuals were detained for having them.

Accidentally made an offer on Chrono24 and the jeweller keeps lowering the price every time it expires. He's dropped it by like $350 to $2900.

This is on a used watch that is in "fine" condition. Price for a new one is $3700.

I posted about this earlier. Opinions?

Buy a used Miata for like 2k and you can have a blast in it.. and if you destroy it -- who cares, you can get like 10 more for the price of a current miata. It's like a bag of chips.

Meanwhile if you actually do want to spend 25k you could get something like a used C6 Corvette.

I'm looking at getting either a SKX007 or SKX031. I've heard the 007 is a bit larger and more substantial, I have pretty big hands/wrists so I think that would be better.

A few questions, though.

Is there a quality difference between the ones manufactured in Japan (J) and elsewhere in Asia (K)?

Should I be wary about buying from Amazon/Ebay?

>>56057396
Makes sense as to why it wouldn't have 'automatic' then. Does it come with an original strap or bracelet? If I were looking for a dynamic my autism wouldn't allow a non-original strap.

>I have pretty big hands/wrists so I think that would be better.
Might as well as measure your wrist circumference before saying that.

>Is there a quality difference between the ones manufactured in Japan (J) and elsewhere in Asia (K)?
No.

>Should I be wary about buying from Amazon/Ebay?
Not an expert on buying from amazon (As they don't shit to kikeclapistan), but they should be all okay.

No issues with eBay either if you're buying new from a decent seller.

Also, the SKX031 is impossabiru to get right now, the SKX013 still is but it's more expensive.

Just because you don't like the strap you bought for it doesn't mean you should just give up.
If the watch is really so expensive you won't mind spending $15 to get a strap that's comfortable and makes you want to wear the watch right?

Those are still not really what I mean, or at least not as harcore as a circular dial with straps coming from under it. Wicked japanese date on the seiko, though.

Well you could have been a bit more specific. There are a few Mido automatics with lugs like that, but most of them have lugs that are similar.

Just get a Steinhart, same specs better crystal and $300 cheaper. Only difference is one of them looks closer to a fake Rolex.

Both what? I'm saying buying a watch because of what other people think of it is dumb. You should buy things based on what you think of it only.

You can be aware of what other people think of it, but it should not be the decision.

Looking for an automatic, 40-45mm field watch
Maybe 200 bucks max, the cheaper the better.

>>56062736
I will be buying a Rolex this December, I will be buying it because:

1. I want it, I've always wanted it.

2. it will probably get more more pussy

But mostly 1...

I would wait, Rolex is coming out with a new movement in all of its line of watches. Basically it is to compete with Omega Co-Axial. Rolex termed it the "High Frequency," basically its going to be kinda like the Grand Seikos the seconds hand will be completely utterly smooth and no more ticking.

>>56060819

Yeah, 25 years ago.

>>Better than Arabic numerals
Opposite of the truth.

>>easier to read at a glance than no numerals
Again, the exact opposite of the truth.

>>Elegant and minimalist hands, not big gaudy submariner shit
As far as hands for dress watches go, they're fucking ugly. They're not complimented by the Lego-imitation dial either.

>>the best type of metal band besides fuller uniform size rectangles
Not just the bracelet, but the lugs also look out of place. They're far too sporty, look as if they've been welded on.

You really think anyone is even going to notice?

Is there a better watch I can get for 100 bucks than a Seiko 5 Sport auto?

>>56063562
Maybe.

Depends on what direction are you will take this.

>>56063936
Looking for a decent field watch, automatic. Probably would put a leather NATO strap on it.

>>56063257
>>56063328

Why are you guys so fucking triggered?

>>56064110
Because if you really think buying a watch is more efficient than paying a hot escort of your choice when you want to pick up chicks with it, you're an imbecile and I oppose stupidity.

>>56064014
SNZG15 is hard to beat if you aren't bitchwristed, the newer SRP models on the Seiko 5 have the better 4R36 but are in the 150~200$ range. (SRP669 or SRP711/713 as examples). The SNK809 is a decent "bby's first watch"-tier field watch.

Alternatively, the K-34 and K-35 Komandirskie series are superb.

Question what do you think about the Seiko Instruments NH35A? Is it equal to say a 7S26? Or is it something worst?

>>56062358
God that Seiko is pure sex.

>>56053703
That wheel gap

>>56064341
The NH35A is basically a 4R36 its good to go IMHO but no where near the 6Rs or Citizen 9015.

>>56064341
The NH35A is an identical export variant of the Seiko 4R35, which is a date only version of the 4R36.

Basically put, it's a 7S26 with hacking and handwinding. (With allegedly better accuracy via better production)

How about this is this a good deal on a watch?

>>56064532
Halios?

Isn't it like 50mm lug to lug?

>>56064580
Its not Halios, it is 50 Lug to lug and 43mm diameter. I can't tell you the brand because its a very limited run of 100 watches on a first come first serve basis.

>>56064629
Plenty of microbrands do the same.

But as said earlier, if you're bitchwristed it'll be a stupid purchase.

>>56064653
I'm at 6.5" wrist if it doesn't work out I'll just sell it on Ebay. The last time this thing showed up on Ebay it sold for close to $500 so I should be fine.

>>56064706
You're pretty much bitchwristed, anything with a lug to lug above a 46mm lug to lug will like be 2big4u.

My Zenith Grand Prix 1900 runs a few minutes slow every hour, even when put on the slowest setting.
I don't really have the money to get it fixed by a professional, does anyone know how a watch could be slowed down even further?

No unless you're a faggot, save a bit more and buy a Pelagos or save a lot more and get a Sub.

>>56065531
Will it make me feel like Big Boss?

>>56064532
Yes but for the same price you can buy a Obris Morgan with a Citizen 9015 which shits on anything Seiko that is below an 8L35 which is basically their $2000 Divers. Also the Citizen/Miyota 9015 is COSC ready anything Seiko makes like the 6Rs, 4Rs will never pass Chronometer testing. So yes the price is good but that watch you want is shit compared to an Obris. Fuck anything Seiko makes(Sumo, Turtle, Shogun, Samurai Jack, Tuna, Whale, Dolphin, Crabs, etc.) that isn't a Marine Master is shit compared to anything running a Citizen 9015.

It's not so bad.

You think I can sport an Obris with a 16cm wrist? I think it might be just too much lug to lug.
Fuck, I want a decent cheap diver as a beater watch and the Obris would be perfect.

>>56062424
>(The strap was 90€)
That's why you never ever buy an OEM strap. I hope you learned your lesson.

>>56065684
Thing is the 9015 is in Rolex territory they claim 6 +/- but most people who owns one is saying its more 2 +/-. Seiko states freaking 20-40 sec +/- on their spec sheet. The Citizen movement in this case is much better, there's no comparison.

>>56065804
>they claim 6 +/-
Who is "they"? Because it's certainly not Miyota that claims that.
