So last thread died in the fucking ass.
I like the look of the alpinist, i also like climbing and hiking.
What automatic watches are similar in style and features to this?
Surely the swiss make hiking watches.
What kinds of automatic watches are good for hiking/climbing and snowy conditions?

Not really worried about price, if it's similar to the alpinist then great, if it's more expensive that's OK too.
Just want to see what options are out there.

watchmakeranon you lurkin?

i know you dont take watches anymore, but do you happen to know anyone with experience on vintage (all American) Hamilton's?

im having real trouble searching for someone and any help would be appreciated.

any other anons with helpful info too.

What's that one watch that everyone basically has?

The one that's kinda old but usually gets the job done.

There really is nothing like the Seiko Alpenis. Swiss/German alternatives are usually too sporty (like pic related) or austere (like the Rolex Explorer). The closest is Seiko's own SARG series, and that other SARB that's basically a white Alpinist. If I had to have one <$400 watch in my collection when I can afford mid and upper tier watches, it'd probably be the Alpen0r.

Maybe you can write Deep Blue or Steinhart and ask them to make an "homage" :^)

>>56138283
Hey that's nice.
What's the 4th hand for?

>>56138423
I imagine it's probably a second time zone, kind of like a GMT, except that one appears to be 12-hour based, while most GMTs I've seen are 24-hour based.

>>56138423
it has an alarm function that sounds like a cricket when going off.

Not rich. Just gainfully employed. Check his LinkedIn, under "People also viewed". There's one obvious profile that's his wife/ex-wife (people mention her name in the video comments all the time).

Nigger my OVM came in 2 days ago, and already I'm starting to get sick of your shilling myself.

Last thread you're there trying to recommend a $450 watch to someone willing to spend up to $250, just so you could spout misinformation en-mass. Seriously, dude, give it a break.

If someone is looking to spend $400-$500 on some Chinkshit sumo, then go right ahead and SUGGEST a different piece, don't go full autist and spam shit.

I recommend either an Orient Symphony or Orient Bambino. They're slightly large compared to traditional dress watches but I think they are good enough to work in most situations.

>>56137728

Buy a used Seiko 4s15 alpinist if you can find one in good condition.

The 4s15 is one of the greatest series production automatic movements of all time (it's an updated 52xx).

Yes.

Buy a 5610 and have a watch which will be accurate to +0.00s/d with auto DST, a perpetual calendar, chronograph, world time, alarm and countdown timer for the next 10-25+ years.

Pretty close to an ideal fire and forget timekeeping solution.

>>56141792
Good to know ill keep an eye out.
I'm not going to rush in to buy something and money is not an issue if the watch is worth the value ill buy it.
I think though after about $700ish i will get diminishing returns.
Does anyone know if the compass in the alpinist is free floating?
I think that the extra crown is for turning the compass ?

It's a homage as a homage is meant to be. A recreation of a rare watch.

While the distinction is slight, it is there.

I saw your model on a local craigslist and for a beat up glass scratched to shit he was asking $30.

Sup /wt/,
Im looking for a watch in the 800-900 euro pricerange. Its for my 21st birthday so I want something that's classical and which I will still be able to wear in ~20 years.

Was looking at Hamiltons today (pic related) and at some frederique constant. What would you guys recommend? Also, should I buy at a jeweller or some other place? Very inexperienced with buying watches!

>>56141546
How about something around $300 to $400?

>>56142718
lmao

>>56142714
That's a pretty cool looking watch in that pic. I like skeletons and exposed design variants. A lot of people here don't.

Buy what you like, though. I've given up on focusing on name brands... it is more of a 'guideline' for selecting a watch than anything else. "How likely is this thing going to stop working on me?" is the only thing the brand tells me.

>>56137596
what's the story behind the piece in OP's pic?

>>56142913
Thanks for the advice, I completely agree. However I do want something swiss made to atleast get a lasting quality.
Im not looking for brands perse but I would love some pointers if you could give some. Perhaps you have some personal favorites?

Bretty gud, they were supposed to be the Soviet, more modest equivalent of luxury watches. The 2609.HA is pretty reliable too, but from a watchmaker standpoint it's a pain to service due to one or two design quirks.

Shame they didn't work on the current Raketa Avtomat movement a little more, I don't think any knowledgeable watchfag would pay 1000€ for a modern "luxury" watch ticking only at 18000bph.

Why?

>>56145294
look, it's simple

does it exist? if so - someone on /g/ hates it vocally

>>56145294
We hate the company, not the product. Especially Swatch, the parent company. I'm actually kinda bummed that Swatch is about to kill off ETA.

Anyone have any good recommendations on watch winders? I had a dual winder years ago but it died after only 8 years, some Ebay crap. Looking for something that won't stretch the band and isn't noisy.

>>56145330
>I'm actually kinda bummed that Swatch is about to kill off ETA.
I have no doubt in my mind that someone else would pick up the license and continue ETA production. the movements are too sound to just let go without an already mass-produced easily accessible swiss movement already in commonplace in the market.

>>56145371
No, what they're trying to do is stop supplying non-Swatch manufacturers with ETA movements, and parts dealers with ETA parts. They want to degrade ETA into an in-house only manufacturer, only supplying Swatch garbage brands like Tissot, Hamilton, Longines, etc.

>>56145454
Oh fuck, that's even worse. I knew they were pulling back on sending shipments out to Microbrands, but I wasn't aware it was that bad, fuck. It'd probably be better for them to kill ETA as a whole.

>>56145516
TL;DR: Nicolas Hayek was the Hitler of horology.

>>56145371
How about not wanting to get on Swatch's bad side?
Maybe profit comes first, though.

Didn't know Swatch were withdrawing it, vs the perceived halt of production.

I suppose all this means is that we gotta buy up the Vintage watches with ETA movements before they get relabelled as having a "Rare movement!" and sellers hike up the price an extra $100 or so.

>>56146271
I have a Seiko that is "200m" but has no screwdown crown nor pressure gaskets. They put 200m on everything now a days regardless if its real 200m or not. The only 200m that can be trusted by Seiko is their Divers line.

You're fucking stupid. You don't need a fucking screw down crown.

That's not even remotely true, the watches with the internal bezel isn't rated to 200m. Go ahead, find me a divers with an internal rotating bezel. Seiko basically put a lie on that dial. Seiko also does it with other watches, put 200m when its not even remotely the case.

Rumors has it that Rolex will be releasing a limited edition Sub 114060 with Ceramic bezel and sword/dagger hands on commemorate the 40th anniversary of the 5517. This watch will cost $8500 MSRP and will be introduced on Baselworld 2017.

Time to start saving...

>>56146806
I'm glad you're confirming everything I said is true. You're new and don't know shit but want to act like it.

But people who have been around watches and know more than you seem to have the opposite impression than you on both Steinhart and Seiko. But of course your experience with a defective watch a shopkeeper gave away for free, probably because he didn't feel like going thru the return process from his distributor, and your experience with the steinhart being the most expensive watch you've ever owned trumps that. Clearly you're going to have a good understanding of quality and brand value by now.

Fucking kids these days.

>>56146903

I can understand an anniversary edition of a limited run watch, but one for a military contracted piece?

>it failed
>few decade pasts some idiot collector appraised the watch for 6 figured
>Steinhart makes a homage

So basically Rolex copied Steinhart.

>>56146924

By what measure?
Rolex were contracted to produce them for the SBS, 1100-ish in all were made and the contract was fulfilled.

>>56146903

>defending a brand this hard
lol you are really sad. Is a Seiko all you can ever afford or something? Look, its irrelevant what you think because what I said is not an opinion. Seiko put a fake water resistance rating on the dial, what part of this is too difficult to comprehend in your stupid brain?

>>56146900
>excuses for being flabby
The point is, you shouldn't wear watches. That looks absolutely riduclous.

>>56146806
There are a number of extremely plausible reasons why it might not have reached the indicated depth rating. A sample size of one is not sufficient evidence to say Seiko is lying about their depth ratings.

>>56146949
>Assaulting a brand this hard
Did Mr.Seiko rape you as a child or something?

Seriously dude, between your all out assault on Seiko, and now claiming that Rolex are copying Steinhart by releasing a homage to their own fucking watch, there is no ground left for you to stand on in which you will not label yourself a shill.

t. OVM owner.

>>56146949
It was a homage to water ratings.

>>56146949
https://www.thrillist.com/gear/what-your-watch-water-resistance-numbers-mean

Here's a explanation of the difference between 20BAR and Divers 200M. No 20BAR does not mean its a fucking dive watch, you can however swim and snorkel in it which is what most people would use it for when it comes to water.

>>56146903
Rolex is not doing this, people asked them and they already said no. There is however a shit Rolex mod company called Bamford which is modding the 114060 to look like a 5517. No it will not be 100% identical, the 114060 will be more of a Rolex homage to an unobtainable Rolex.

>>56146924
The fuck kind of mental gymnastics is this?

>>56147046
Do you honestly not see the coincidence that Rolex is re-releasing the Milsub just after Steinhard started making this design popular again?

>>56147115
No, that faggot John Mayer made it popular again by being a little bitch when he got had. Steinshit just capitalized and profit on it.

Shit pic because it's night, but it's done, and so far running solid. I'll do some further checks tomorrow for smudges, operation, etc. but everything looks fine. I didn't relume it though, I'm not sure if it wouldn't decrease its worth.

Movement is the ETA 2783, manual and bidirectional automatic winding, instant jumping date wheel with quick setting crown, 21600bph, kinda overcomplicated keyless work.

Made in 1975, bought from first owner who didn't abuse it, but didn't have it serviced either. Ministry Amphibia for scale.

I'm not sure you know how this works.

>>56147882
It is. 2782 is the variant with the normal stem. I believe it's designed to push the sliding pinion against the winding pinion.

>>56147950
Honestly all it looked like to me was that some geezer got annoyed that it wouldn't wind further, and tried with some plies and bent the fucker.


Always good to know that shit is meant to look weird.

Is your watch also made by masons pal?

By the way, I used to own a shitty ~$200 Seiko Quartz Chrono (mechaquartz?), that I went swimming and diving with regularly. No screw-down crown, no screw-down pushers, rated 100m. As a dumb kid I played with the chrono, under water, all the time. No flooding. No moisture whatsoever (opened for inspection multiple times). If anything, Seiko under-rates their watches' water resistance. For anyone actually interested in something other than shilling and shitting up the thread, read up on the water resistance thread on WUS and you'll learn that a screw down crown is not always necessary for water resistance.

>>56148139
Well yeah, the screw down crown simply insures that it doesn't accidentally open underwater, its the quality of the gasket that matters

>>56148325
Also helps that a screw in itself is near-airtight, so is an effective means of providing some easy strongpoints when designing the watch.

My Seiko battery just died after 7 years. Should I change it myself, or pay some local shop to do it?

Don't have it on me right now. It's a Type-B 47mm. It just barely shifts a little to the side and goes back into place when the crown goes back in.

>>56148532
Do any cute girls work at the shop?

It's generally only a few dollars and they'll often do a free pressure test, as the ability to be water resistant over time can be diminished.

Should be trivial either way, assuming you have a tool to open your caseback.

>>56143409
It looks okay, but these days whenever I look at watches like a Frederique Constant all I can think it that it's a poor man's JLC, which are just a poor man's Patek, and Pateks are overrated garbage. So basically it's a cheap copy of a cheap copy of an overpriced watch.

Yeah, was just checking what you meant. I have one of their high tech ceramics.

The materials usage is interesting and I like it. Keep in mind most of their models are towards the more affordable end of ceramic watches. So when you look at something like a ceramic speedmaster, they have many hard edges and a some really nice contrast between polished and even brushed surfaces. With Rado they often have to round everything out and give it a single (generally smooth polish) finish on all surfaces. That's one of the reasons they've been able to incorporate so many hard-to-workw-with and unique materials, because they've kept finishing and working with those materials to mostly very straight forward procedures.

Well at least some of the JDM versions have less colours. I put the module from the black x blue version into the navy bezel, turned out pretty nice.

I see the 5610s as tools rather than fashion statements, so I'm not too concerned with that.

Depends on if the thickness is due to extremely domed acrylic crystal, or if it's just a tuna can. Pic related is the former and fits under dress shirt sleeves easily.

Well I just bought the blue one, a bit pricey for NH35 but the rest of the watch seems pretty nice. I wish I could afford the meteorite dial but fuck that shit for $200 more.

The chrono is 15mm FYI.
On the other hand, pic related is only 12.9mm and has trouble fitting, due to it's shape (the shirt sleeve shown is quite loose) .

Zelos. They have a fair sized collection but this is the first one I actually liked.

These watches are pretty expensive for NH35. I just bought a NH35 with the same specs for $250.

Just ordered one of these for $117. I've bought a Seagull watch before and the finish and quality was pretty good. Hopefully this will be more of the same except with a better movement.

Better view of how disgustingly chunky it is. Thinking of just putting it on leather NATO to wear on the weekends, or only wearing it with french cuffs.

I agree that it doesn't fit you well. Make it your polo shirt/casual short sleeve shirt watch
Turns out the SARB033 is a lot more versitile than the higher end presage pieces

>>56152233
Can i have the model number please?, some of these had a cut off 3.
They have it in some pictures and not others, I'm trying to figure out which ones don't have the three printed in the dial.
I hate cut off numbers

True. I did order a shell cordovan strap for it, so I'll just put it on that instead. It's hot as fuck here so I'll just roll up my sleeves.

It's the filename 819.368. Or you can just search for Seagulls with the ST2130 movement. Pic is the Seagull I already own and one of the models with the cutoff 3. The subdial placements on this one are regrettable.

Now I have two Tan 20mm leather NATO straps cumming at me from opposite sides of the world. No tracking on either so who knows when they'll get here.

>>56152842
There are a few people who'll service them. Al from palmer's jewelry (the former service manager for bulova who worked on 214s). Just about mybob. Claims to have 25 years of experience servicing them but I doubt he has any experience servicing any watch. All he did to my spaceview was fuck it up and scratch the shit out of my kreislers.

guys I need a watch, either:

1. Rolex Submariner
2. Omega Speedmaster MAN ON TEH FUCKING MOON
3. Anything in the $6k-$10k range nothing above 10k

Can anyone recommend me a trust worthy grey market dealer around West Los Angeles or Beverly Hills?

Then get something like this, in all honesty a stainless Rolex or Speedy pro will make guys take notice. But girls knows fuck all about watches. They are impressed by gold be it fake or real. This thing gets me more compliments than anything and you can basically lie to their faces saying its very expensive and they wouldn't even 2nd guess what you said.
