A new pebble steel is $99 you absolute mongoloid.
Who the fuck is going to buy your shitty used one for 9 bucks less?

Would it look weird to wear a real watch on the left wrist and a smartwatch/faggot fitness thing on the right?

>>56117527
It would look fucking retarded.
Why would you even need to ask that?
Wear the fitness thing when you go running or w/e and the normal one any other time.

>>56117609
The more I think about it the more convient it is to have music controls/fitness garbage and shit on your wrist. But I like my mechanical watches too much not to wear them.
So hipster faggots can wear 60 armbands on each wrist and I can't wear a watch on each?
The only smartwatch I would be interested in though is the pebble classic.

>Seiko and PADI share a passion for the safety and enjoyment of divers and the marine environment through the support of Project AWARE™. Now, PADI and Seiko have partnered to release two PADI Special Edition diver’s watches this autumn.

>The Seiko Prospex PADI Special Edition Kinetic GMT Diver’s SUN065 uses Seiko’s Kinetic technology. The Seiko unique movement uses a rotor, powered only by body movement, to charge the battery. This watch features a modern version of the legendary two-layer case first seen in 1975 and affectionately nicknamed for it’s superficial resemblance to a can of “Tuna.” The build quality is excellent with clear dial printing, a smooth bezel and a solid crown.

>The Seiko Prospex PADI Special Edition Automatic Diver’s SRPA21 pays homage to a true classic: the 1970’s Seiko 150m mechanical diver’s watch. Its unique case and dial design led divers to nickname this model the “Turtle.” The watch features Seiko’s trademark easy-to-read, wide, clear hands. It’s a clean and simple diver’s watch, destined to become a trusted friend.

>Both special edition models gracefully feature PADI’s characteristic red and blue color on the dials and the bezels, and the PADI logo on the dials.

>Already, those digital airwaves are buzzing about these new analog watches; don’t miss the opportunity to own a piece of watch making and dive training history.

Buying watches does not fill the void. There is nothing left that I enjoy. Nothing makes me happy. Everything that should just makes me reflect and eventually depressed.

>>56119728
You should have bought it, for whatever price, then when it arrived taken clear photos of the scratches and submitted a "not as described" complaint. You even have the reassurance from him that they were *not* scratches, so he would have literally forced himself to give you a full or partial (like the $5 you wanted) refund, when complaints are already nearly guaranteed to be met regardless. Then when it was over you could have told him to not be a smug asshole next time, forcing your hand. Then just polish off your new watch with some toothpaste and loathe in self-satisfaction.

>>56120389
I've done that before
Bought a T61 for 50 bucks, then asked for 30 bucks back to get a new fan and keyboard.
It took like 2 weeks for him to get his head out the ass and accept that he didn't test the thing before sending it.

If I bid and win now though can't he use my messages as proof that I knew it was scratching before bidding? I would actually really like to fuck this faggot over.

>>56119918
He is having a laugh

Instead of just declining the offer he has said something to rile you up, and I guess it has worked

I'm still keeping an eye out for an under $500 gift for my dad (who isn't making things easier by refusing to wear anything without the original bracelet), so I check used Oris listings from time to time in the hopes of spotting a deal. Can anyone tell me why there are so many listings of refinished Big Crown Pointer Dates for sale? Are ppl unloading them to used watch dealers en masse? Is it safe to assume that they're, more likely than not, beat to shit?

Hi, guys, /out/ist here.

I need your help deciding on a watch. I've got my mind set on a Suunto Core Crush, but the problem with it is that it's digital. Or is it? Can anyone who has the watch tell me whether or not it's possible to set an analog watch face?

Thanks. I might tell the new Gtx 1060 to fuck itself and get a watch instead.

>>56117644
Get one on the outer side and one on the inside of your wrist and just wear it like that. Look at veins = smart, look on hairy forearm = mechanical. Still looks retarded, but at least it's harder to notice.

Nobody here owns a Suunto, you’ll have better luck on your own board or /k/ at best, or elsewhere. However, I can confirm to you that you cannot change the face. The watch is limited to whatever is built into its custom LCD screen. Pic related.

>>56123376

It's not a smartwatch, you can't customize the dial. Also you might want to look at the G-Shock Rangeman and some of the Casio Pro Trek models if you want a watch with altimeter, barometer, and compass functions.

The dial is pretty beat and the 3/6/9 indexes are probably a custom job, because the FAGGOT who did it likely used superglue and marked the dial at 9 (also 9 is crooked), but those are real tiny diamonds set in the middle of indexes. Also I left the movement at the workplace, it's still waiting for a new cannon pinion. It has an old ETA 2472 at 18000bph.

The caseback pick is of the inner side, the outer is scratched the fuck up. Movement is fine, I only had to replace three parts, the cannon pinion, the stem and the intermediate wheel for the date mechanism.

The mark at 9 is probably glue. The mark at 8 is probably moisture or dirt ingress. See the crack on the crystal at 2? I believe that crack was originally at 8, but I have taken the crystal off once.

I'm not sure if I can restore the original 12atm WR, the original crown is lost, and I believe the acrylic crystal is proprietary to Super Compressor cases, a normal domed acrylic won't do.

Long story short it didn't work

Loupe is super helpful too.
Labanda has an entry level set of screwdrivers for $25
The tweezers might set you back $10
The ones in the kit are shithouse
Get a cheap magnifier from ebay at least.
And a desk lamp. I got an awesome one from bunnings for $15
Kmart have these beige pvc dinner mats for $1 that are great to work on and you can get chinese watch oil for $2 on ebay

That's about everything
So on the cheap look at $80 depending on what you already have

>tfw there aren't more solar watches with unobscured solar cells.

>>56125451
That was my first watch when I 6 in 1995.

>>56124173
Tell me, if you're so superior how come you are shitposting on 4chan?

What's the cheapest price for a watch with the movement one step above the 6R15?
What movement is it, is it a luxury one (decorated, regulated etc.)?

>>56125916
All depends.
Usually more accurate movements/ higher grade movements tend to have more decoration simply to set it apart aesthetically from the less accurate variants.

Miyota 9015, 6R15, and ETA 2824 are all on par at the base level.

2824-2 Elaboré is present in the OVM, priced at about £315/$400

6R15 is present in the Obris Morgan Explorer 2, priced at about £280, when actually available.

And the 9015 gets around so much I can't even think of a decent example.

6R15 has the longest running life, and is probably the most reliable.

2824 blows them both out of the water at the top grade though, even a push at Elaboré in terms of accuracy.

If you're looking for something "One step up" from the 6R15, then you're really going to be looking at something toting a Top Grade 2824.

>>56126053
>6R15 is present in the Obris Morgan Explorer 2, priced at about £280, when actually available.

Obris Morgan has never used a Seiko movement. They purely used Miyota, 9015 in recent models and 8215 in their oldest models.

>>56126092

Sell your smart watch and buy yourself something nice, or save a bit more money on to of that, and get yourself something even nicer.

As far as fake watches go, they're all shit. Some franken-watches are nice (ETA/ETA clone movements, real cases, real dials, hands, etc), but I wouldn't buy one myself. Also, don't fall for that "Swiss replica" bullshit on the fake peddling sites - They all come out of either Turkey or China. There is no such thing as a Swiss replica.

Too much negative space on the dial. The 24 hour scale in the white version is basically invisible, and there's absolutely no texture or reflective surface for light to interact with, so the whole thing looks boring, unlike the JLC Master Control it's imitating. The black dial version in that picture looks alright, and I like the way their infantry watches look. (I owned a quartz Swiss Army branded watch when I was a kid, which is why I got the Victorinox in the first place.)

>>56128686

I honestly wouldn't know one way or the other, and didn't pay a dime for it. What gives it away as fake? If it's true, I'm not overly surprised.

The quality of the Victorinox is fine. It's just that they misfired on the design. Small details like not adding a bit of paint to the 24 hour scale ends up ruining the look of the whole dial in my opinion.

So the lugs on my Casio gshock rangeman broke. Guess that's what I get for using 3d printed NATO strap adapters. Casio won't replace it as a defect because it's considered external. And my 2 year Amazon warranty ended the beginning of the month. Initially I thought the adapter broke so I had bought 2 metal adapters for $40 and a metal faceplate bezel to match for $80. Only to find the internals broke this morning.
Fuck me right. Can't return the faceplate to China and I can't return the 3d printed parts to shapeways.
Oh well, guess I have to buy a completely new watch to use these new parts.

my first automatic is in the mail. for now I got this dude and my moto 360. I'll keep them all in a regular rotation.

gshock is indestructible though, will definitely be my field watch for camping/hunting/etc.

>>56133044
No, the original pebble is useless. The new pebbles are still mostly useless. If you want a smart watch, get something that will run Android Wear 2.0 when it comes out. hWatch, Moto 360, Zenwatch... these kind of things.

24-hour three-hand dial set to mission time zone (whether it's UTC or mission control local time), day-date and a Mars day-night hand/subdial is all you really need.

>>56133100
Useless?
All I need it to do is tell the time (theres a full calender face) and alert me when shit needs to happen silently. Basically a wrist pager.
Would it not work for that? Is 40 over paying for a lightly used one? New they're 70 on amazon.

>>56133044
Yes, no?
Anyone own this thing?

>>56132999
Considering the names of the moons mean fear and terror, I can go along with this.

The idea about the indicator for Earth (specifically if it is above the horison and not colinear with the sun) is to indicate when communications will be up or down.

>>56132850
The MARS watch isn't approved by NASA. It's just a cashgrab for Omega, basically another overpriced "special edition," speedy.

>>56134486
>basically another overpriced "special edition," speedy.
Sure. And there have been many boring special editions. Here I am hoping for something at least a little inventive.

Hello guys. I want to gift my cousin who getting married a watch. I don't know anything about watches and so does he. I can spend up to $250 and I want it to look as classy as possible. Don't care if it's a replica or anything.

Any help appreciated thanks

>>56134550
Do you honestly think a 90+ year old retired air force pilot is capable of designing a brand new innovative watch? No its a cashgrab from Omega, hopefully trying to profit off this before the guy kicks the bucket.

>>56134584
$361
>2824-2 Elabore - same as Tudor and Sinn
>316L Stainless - same as Tudor and Omega
>sapphire crystal
Basically giving him a watch that beats a Sinn 556 in every conceivable way including materials used for 1/4 of the price.

How about Orient Bambino. You can get it off creation watches or longisland watches. There may also be other sellers that have a decent deal on them but those two generally do.

As a general rule with less expensive watches, things that are 'gold' are plated, and may look worse with wear.

Something like a ER24005W from Creation would be great on it's own for like $130~, or if you want to push towards that 250 dollar mark you could include something with the watch. Like silver cufflinks or a silver tie clip or money clip.

>>56134689
Oh, 361 EURO. So you actually recommended a watch over 60% more than his budget.

What's more versatile for everyday use, a black or a white dial?

>>56134919
what is your daily attire? do you work somewhere that is suit and tie or jeans and t-shirt?

I am an Uni student so I dress pretty casual but I kind of want something that I can also wear with a dress shirt/suit. I wear a lot of casual shit, basic t-shirts and polos. All of my shirts are either grey, black, white or blue.

Buzz Aldrin has been working on developing and arguing for a Martian mission since like the 1970s.

There is even a potential Martian trajectory method and transit vehicle named after him, that he helped devise.

That old 90+ pilot knows more about what it takes to get to Mars than most. I would say his input is valuable.

Of course...

>>56134984
A light color would probably be more versatile. Casual dress tends to lead to more browns than blacks in my experience.

How much is Steinhart paying you to shill and bash other brands? I want in.

>>56135713
I don't think you can bribe a 1/2 a Trillion dollar mission anon-kun.

I would do it for a free watch. Think i could steal his contact by under cutting his price?

>>56135936
Assuming the design fits NASA's requirements, they don't need much to nudge a decision maker their way, vs. similar competition. In fact, with an existing relationship, it'll probably take even less (a couple of hookers or something).

I'm really not trying to be a dick here. Have you ever looked into ladies watches? There are some out there that you could never tell outside of the size.

>>56136099

I recently tried on a 34mm and it's just too small I think.

I have average sized wrists. 38mm is the sweet spot for men.

>>56136099
The trend should be reversing, but i doubt it'll ever go back to <35mm.

>>56136348
I've been considering this. I am just to lazy to sort through all the bedazzled dials and bezels. I'll probably just buy a vintage Seiko. 36mm should suffice but I'd like to go a tad bit smaller.

>>56134984
Get a Casio with 5 alarms. There's not a single reason to look dressy in college and no one will say anything to you wearing a digital watch with a suit should the occasion ever come up

Good? Bad?

>>56136724
He thinks "elabore" means "not dogshit."

Turns out he's wrong.

>>56136724
Tudor now uses their own in house movement that's COSC and Sinn regulates their Selita movements to DINN.
Sinn will also use much better lube oils than stock even on their "low end" watches
Face it Steinshill, you'll never be able to be better than Tudor or Sinn. Literally the best two luxury watch companies operating right now.

>>56136738
And I paid 35 bucks for my plebble. Doesn't make them anything less than toys that will only last as long as their batteries.
Overall you made the worst choice though.
>Wear watch
>Screen fucking turns off until some kind of prompt

For buying a Sinn? Great

>>56136694
I have that exact model. If you're not above a little niggering then you can get a new one for dirt cheap.

>Buy a fucked up one on CL for $20-50

I literally have no morals when it comes to big business so call me a dirty nigger all you want.

>>56136787
>For buying a Sinn? Great

I'll take your word for it. Why wouldn't I?

Why are they so much cheaper?

>>56136787
the pebble was and always will be garbage. it's not even in the same category as other smart watches. more like a 'barely passed high school' watch.

>>56136787
>Tudor now uses their own in house movement
Only in the Black Bay, Pelagos, and North Flag. The Black Bay 36, the entire Style line, the entire Glamour line, the Ranger, all the chronographs, the entire Advisor line, the entire Clair De Rose line, and entire Classic line still use ETA movements.

So i like the look of the alpinist, and I'm a hiker/mountain climber.
What are some other watches that share a similar aesthetic?
What are some better automatics for a long range trek?
Price is not really a consideration i just want people's opinions on options

>>56136782
>>56136724
Both Elabore and Top are considered to be dogshit in the horologic world. The 2824 in the BB is Chronometre class. There is not much difference besides the incabloc(besides glucydur balance which is just a differen color, no performance improvements) which if you notice on the clear back Steinhart is present. So yea until Sinn started using Chronometre class ETA then its still the same shit as Steinhart.

>>56136951
>which is just a differen color, no performance improvements
idiot detected

>>56136951
>The 2824 in the BB is Chronometre class

The Black Bay was not COSC certified until they got the new inhouse movement.

>>56136829
They only ship Sinns and some other brands they carry within EU. So double check. If you're in EU then you're fine of course.

>>56137068
VAT

I bought a F-91W.
Delivery was more expensive than the wathch.

>>56136867
They're all fucking toys
Literally the only thing that made the plebble worth the 30 bucks was syncing with my phone calender with vibe alerts and maybe the music control.
You literally can't even replace the batteries on these things. What a joke

>>56137284
Good choice
Now avoid all the low end shit and save for a speedy or something
