Does anyone know the original price(s) of the Type II Seiko quartz watches? (The Penis Quartz)

And this, kids, is why you shouldn't go to the pool with your watch. Or at least with a bracelet.

To the guy from the last thread that asked about how my new blue Mako USA II looked in the sun: it looks fantastic. Noticed the guy at the drivethrough at Chick Fil A peepin it as he handed me my food. Probably thought it was some cheap rolle knockoff though

I don't know sorry.
I paid $40 for this one, came with the 5606 so they probably weren't very expensive

can anyone give me any recommendations on a skeleton face watch around 200 shekels or so? i have seen plenty, but they are all made by questionable manufacturers. i just want a nice looking, well functioning watch that i can see the guts on.

>>56181551
I have the same watch, is there anyway to repair the finish?

>>56181551

Is spring drive better than mechanical? How so?

>>56184224
Spring Drive has an electronic circuit to regulate accuracy. Technically its more accurate but a lot more things can go wrong. Overall a Rolex will only lose 1-2sec a day, spring drive brings it down to maybe 0.75 sec. It's up to you if the trade off is worth it.

>>56184277
How many seconds does quartz lose?

>>56184292
Around that much. Digital is where its at though. Seiko also has a quartz that loses/gains no more than 10 seconds a year.

>>56184292
Quartz is 0.5 sec a day.

I think its higher, from what I read its around 2+/- average. There are some quartz that is +/-0 like this one.

>>56184385
No Quartz is more accurate than mechanical or spring drive or whatever.

>>56181551
I don't see the problem

>>56184399
I am not disagreeing with you, however an average quartz is +/-2 seconds. We are talking like shitty Guess to cheapo Seikos. Of course there are more accuracy quartz, like pic related which is my beater which is 1/20,000th of a second a day or +/- 10 Seconds a year.

>>56184474
>my quartz is special

No.


>a typical quartz clock or wristwatch will gain or lose 15 seconds per 30 days (within a normal temperature range of 5 °C/41 °F to 35 °C/95 °F) or less than a half second clock drift per day when worn near the body.

>>56184312
Digital and quartz are two different things.

>>56184338
Quartz is like 1minute per month for absolute dogshit chinese 1 dollar movements. Sometimes worse. That is around Rolex accuracy or worse.

+-30 seconds a month for something like a F91W, one of Casio's least accurate watches. About the same or slightly worse than some very high end expensive watches.

Meanwhile most any quartz more expensive than that will be around twice as accurate or better, +-15 seconds a month. So like your 40 dollar g-shock is there. That's the same as a Spring Drive, +-15 seconds a month.

Quartz nearly destroyed the mechanical watch industry and Switzerland but they managed to ruse some people into still paying through the nose for their less accurate watches as evidenced in this thread.

>>56184474
I don't know whether I love or hate this design

>>56184570
Why did you think COSC was founded a few years after Quartz was established. I'm not a quartz guy because of batteries, however having to pay $700-$1000 every 5 years because lol Rolex is kinda dumb. Maybe this is an avenue Rolex should have pushed if they weren't so fucking jews. A watch that requires zero service except if the owner screws it up.

>>56181551

Why are people surprised at this?

Do you fags only wear your steel bracelets while fine dining or something?

Every single steel bracelet i have ever owned gets scratched to shit no matter how careful I am with it.

The best way to avoid the scratches is to not wear it.

>>56185270
Diamond is harder than sapphire.

It's interesting, but I don't think it's ultimately going to make a significant different to a watch long term.

>>56185292
Doesn't sinn tout it as not needing lubrication due to the increased hardness?

Pretty good watch thread going on reddit

>https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/4ypjaz/well_what_is_it_used_for_then/

>>56185350
It's still being effected over time. And the lubrication in other parts of the watch are still wearing out as normal (or at least normal for Sinn.)

Don't get me wrong, it's cool.

Your reaction with the "measure" button is going to have a greater variance than actual time lost or gained.

I've been researching this off and on for a while but I have had no luck-

I have a watch with a stupid case (pic related) and was wondering if there is any adapter i can get to let it accept standard watch straps. I would really prefer a one peice strap that it big enough for my wrist rather than the too small rubber strap it currently has


anyone got any ideas?

>>56189169
You're better off getting a wide enough strap that you can cut the ends of it like the current one, or making an adapter yourself.

>>56189169

Outside of ones for G-Shocks I don't think anybody mass produces strap adapters for watches. You'll have to DIY up a solution.

Why is it called perpetual?

>>56189494
probably a gimmick name for automatic

>>56189494
It's basically rolex's way of saying the watch is waterproof and automatic. If I recall correctly it's their trademark so while you can put 'automatic' on your watch, you can't put 'perpetual' on it without rolex breathing down your neck.

Rolex don't come after anybody TBQH, they just want to make watches. If they wanted to destroy Seiko they would have done it along time ago. Rolex as a company is a giant super conglomerate and Seiko is just a small Japanese brand that is known for their cheap watches.

Is there a possibility Seiko will update the SKX007? Or is the Turtle pretty much the replacement and i'd have to step up to the Sumo if I don't want a turtleshaped diver?

Now now, in all honesty at least half the thread regard mechanical movements as a black box mystery technology that neess to be in a watch for them to permit themselves to want it, but it's not like they actually understand how they work or why one might be better than another (besides "prestige", I.e. marketing).

Recommendations for a ~500€ watch that I will use daily? I'm currently using a SKX007 and I wanted something a bit smaller but still not too fancy since I will be using it when I'm hiking and so on. I'm looking at the Hamilton Khaki Field or the Jazzmaster but I'll take suggestions.

Casio >>> Seiko

>>56194427
Why not wear the SKX while hiking? That's what I wear, you bash it on a tree or fall in the mud it's cool because it's tough.

>>56194427
Orient Aviator perhaps? Lays nearer to €300 than €500, but something to consider none the less if you enjoy the aesthetic.

Perhaps Victorinox Infantry?

>>56194471

They have some decent pieces, but are nothing special by any means, some of their stuff is just a little pricey considering they're pretty basic. Their cheapest mechanical is priced at near as makes no difference €650. No where I can find is the movement listed on their website, the sites that tell us the movement (Turns out to be the good old go-to, 2824-2) but fail to tell us the grade. I am by no means an expert on identifying this stuff, so could someone, from the basis of movement decoration or any markings that may be visible, tell us the grade in pic related?

That and I kind of get the vibe that they're a brand more known for their pocket knives.

Why on Earth would you spend so much on an old watch that plain and boring. If it were say a Royalite, Bubbleback, Observatory or any combination of the three I'd say get it for 3k, but that's literally a Seiko 5.

>>56195131
It should top out at around 5k-6.5k. It has the original Rolex bevel meaning its almost completely unpolished which means the owner kept it in a safe and never wore it. Sadly not wearing a Rolex will tend to cause it to have mechanical problems, and there is no service history. If there was a service history the watch could have easily caught $7k.

>>56195243
Is there any point in owning an expensive watch if it's just going to look this beat up and shitty in a few decades?

>>56195131
Thanks just bid on this.

>>56195243
Honestly for that price he could have gotten the American Psycho Rolex.

Watches are pretty much jewellery for men. Wearing shitter watches is like wearing fake jewellery. Fuckin nasty cunts. Stop buying shitters.

>>56195404
Are you fucking kidding me? That Bubbleback looks great! Only thing it has is a bit of fading on the dial (I think 13 to 24 was originally red), blackened numerals and a bit of radium burn.

Also an expensive watch will last longer, since it'll likely be better designed in overall, steel cased, screwdown back, higher quality dial, better movement, non-retarded crystal/lugs, no gluing, etc.

Hiking is not a risky activity for a watch, it's not fucking climbing.

I'm moving continents, parents want to give me a watch in the 200 euro range.
What do I get? Everything I like is 70s/80s Japanese import watches, and they will only buy something new.

Description from:
http://www.maisonceladon.com/the-movement.html
Says that a 21,600 vph beat rate is better for accuracy, isochronism and longevity than 28,800 vph. If that's the case then why are most Swiss watches 28,800 bph compared to the cheaper Japanese and Chinese watches which are mostly 21,600? Or is there just no validity to this claim?

I can't wait for the first mark to come in and realize the mistake he made when he has to pay thirty bucks to change every battery.

>>56197318

Good joke anon. Stupid chinese

>>56198262
the battery change isn't even simple like other cheapo Invicta watches. They were showing this at this years Baselworld, you basically need to unscrewed the 4 locking screw for each watches. Afterward there's a gasket that you need to be aware of and the face is fully exposed so you don't want to touch that either. You have the remove the entire movement by pressing the divet and removing the 4 screw down crown. The mainwatch is easiest to change the battery for, and they should just make it so all 5 batteries are linked. However they want to make this crap unnecessarily complicated. Also good luck trying to sell an Invicta POS for $1000.

No idea why there is even an Invicta booth, they should never have been invited.

>>56198769
are they really that bad?

>>56198782
Every time i have seen a horrid hideous pos watch, is either been some stupid chinese fake, it its been some $2000 invicta

>>56198727
These brands all have a habit of making ridiculously complex Rube Goldberg machines. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGPjFFMD3c0

>>56198769
Alright, no way I'm ever touching that shit if it ever comes in the shop. How much is it anyway? I hope it's overpriced enough that no normie will buy it, so I never have to see it again.

>>56198864
MSRP is $999, but the Home Shopping Network should be selling them for 4 easy payments of $39.99.

>>56198864
The good news it is uses Swiss Time(Ironically made in China) which is one of the worst movements you can put into a watch. So I doubt all 5 will survive up to its first battery change.

Pretty much up there with the Pelagos in terms of sheer quality. However at an affordable price. The Ocean One T 500 comes with Steinhart's proprietary SWISS MADE Soprod movement. The watch houses a domed Sapphire crystal specially pressurized to withstand 500m verified by DIN. The dial is matte black with blue accents complimented with Super Luminova blue Lume. The Bezel is ceramic and has lume applied as well protected by sapphire for maximum scratch resistance. All of this for around $500 shipped this watch is hard to beat.

Steinhart also has one of the best if not best resale value out of any watch, so buy with confidence.

>>56203097
thank you for an actual answer

>>56203109
BTW this is the cheapest watch to have a ceramic bezel, even Sinn are made with cheap aluminum. The minimum price you could find a swiss made watch with a ceramic bezel is probably Tudor or Omega. The Soprod A10 also blows away the piece of crap Sinn uses in their divers the ETA2824.

Crystals with non-domed surfaces can withstand depths of 2000m, and the fucking crystal isn't "pressurized", you have no fucking clue what you're talking about, you're just saying words.

>>56203659
