posting image again. I really like the look of this. I guess it's called 'pilot' or 'aviation' style?

I haven't found anything with the seconds as a complication like this one. The orient wingman isn't bad, but doesn't look as nice as this one IMO.

I'm open to alternative suggestions, but for $99 this doesn't seem too bad. I can't find any hate for the brand online.

Steinshit shill here, why get that when you can get this instead!

-Sapphire crystal
-Unitas 6497 mechanical movement(ETA clone basically, however I have yet to hear anything bad about them)
-Super Luminova hands
-Hands heat blued and not painted
$149

Yes I know its more but you are also getting a ton of watch. Anyway I still think Techne is shit...

>>56317237
Steinhart don't use "fake" ETA clones, they use the real thing, TOP grade actually on their more expensive PREMIUM line. Keep going though your butthurt is hilarious.

>>56317237
>-Unitas 6497 mechanical movement(ETA clone basically, however I have yet to hear anything bad about them)

Holy shit you can't even fucking get your shilling right. It's not a fucking close of anything Unitas is ETA. Unitas was a movement manufacturer who through various mergers and buyouts and such eventually became part of ETA. Some people just like to use the old name to refer to specific movements.

Want to sell my G-Shock GW-6900 Tough Solar Atomic matte black watch for a solid hand winding watch. Is there anything a little more simplistic looking than the Vostok Komandirskie with similar accuracy and overall build quality (willing to negotiate on ruggedness as long as it is well made) in the below $70 price range? I'd be willing to go to $100 if necessary but would like to just spend the $70 I hope to make when selling the GW-6900. Thanks for any and all input.

>>56317364
He's obviously trying to make Steinhart look bad, look I am no shill but Steinhart is a very good brand in the same league as Sinn actually in terms of quality.

>>56318632
Bretty good from my experience.

The 420 case is nice but the short lugs are somewhat of a turn-off for some people, and there are other case styles as well.

>>56318650

Out of just those two the 356. I think divers type bezels look completely wrong and out of place on pilots watches.

What's the best looking pilot watch under 2k?

>>56318682
Im not 100% on the case yet, I think the blue scuba dude with no numeral, just indicies only comes in 420

I'd definitely put it on a strap of some sort so I guess the lugs would matter a bit

I'm new to watches, what should I get?
What are popular (i.e. /g/-core) brands/models?

>>56318829
The 059 dial comes in all cases. The only one that is somewhat the exception is the newer 120 case (120059 combo) that only Meranom sells.

>>56318903
Seiko,Citizen,Orient,Vostok to name a few.

So this came today and I followed the instructions - place watch on top then hold red button and slowly lift watch upward. Am I doing it correctly? It doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference before and after with the compass test (watch moves the phone compass by about 10-20 degrees). However, it wasn't significantly magnetized to begin with (started gaining ~10 sec a day composted to losing ~2 previously), so hopefully whatever minimal magnetism affecting the movement is neutralized now.

I also did it to my other watches just in case. It has no chance of magnetizing an un- magnetized watch if I don't do it properly, right?

Pic related, it's this exact model only worn to the brass completely and missing the bracelet. I think I'll put a Casio terrorist bracelet on it for him.

>>56319505
bambino

>>56319505
Obviously the Bambino, especially with the upgraded movement.

>>56319505
It was about 400 australian, so a bit more than what you are looking at.
Bambino. I've had one before though that that particular model; solid dress watch with an in house movement and (some at least) resell value which is rare for low end watches.

>>56319524
>>56319515
>>56319522
The hands are tiny though, makes me want to wait for a possible Ver5.

>>56319539
Glass is domed which magnifies it somewhat. It'll grow on you, trust me. You could also try any one of a hundred million fuggin styles of the Seiko 5. Not a bad starter watch and probably a little cheaper.

>>56319552
I think I will wait for a Ver 5, if Orient fixes the small weakling hands it might have a winner on their hands.

Despite being used in entry/mid grade watches of the time, the 754X series of quartz movements were quite well built in comparison to later models (Like the 7C4X movements, which had many plastic parts that were prone to deteriorate), being made mostly out of metal and were known to be very robust and long living..

And an example of a 7456 based Silverwave and the soon to be serviced LM special.

I have that exact watch, first watch I bought when getting into the hobby. Had one for 2 years now, pic related.

The strap, despite being cheap, is really good. It breaks in quickly, it's comfortable, it doesn't fray, and the notches don't fray either. Also, it's not that green in person, more olive green than grass green. My picture is fairly colour accurate.

It's a great watch, the styling of the case hasn't grown on me, but it's worth every bit of $120.

They were meme when they were $15 I think. Now that the price has gone up to around $35, they aren't worth buying anymore.

>not when you can clearly see ROLEXPLOREROLEXPLORER
Let's face it now. Most people in this thread would just look at the hands and instantly assume it was steinhart at this point and continue to throw a flurry of autistic shitposts at it.

>>56327258
Yeah, they do make quality watches, and i respect what they do 100x more than brands like Michael Kors and all the fashion branded watches that rip off Hublot or AP designs, desu i'd wear a Steinhart over a TAG, but as long as they copy the Sub there'll always be a stigma

>>56326752
Very flat caseback with slightly turned-down lugs, I forget it's there, it's very comfortable.

It's generic polished stainless steel, it'll get scratches, and you'll most likely not care. The glass didn't get scratched until I ground it against a stone wall when moving furniture, and even then only a hairline.

I will say this; if I was going to buy a solar-powered quartz watch again, knowing what I now know, I would have gone for something like a Citizen "excalibur" promaster diver. I don't regret buying the Seiko one bit though.

>>56327388

i'm disappointed steinhart didn't find a good memey play on words to run around the inside

>>56327400
>but as long as they copy the Sub there'll always be a stigma
Oh absolutely.

The Submariner has had so much 'homage' paid by every watch brand going that it's just insulting at this point.

The OVM is what a homage should by in my opinion, a recreation of a rare vintage piece with a great design. And should be done properly, not end up being sold for $15 in walmart. Like any Michael Kors watch should be.

>>56327428
>i'm disappointed steinhart didn't find a good memey play on words to run around the inside
I'm kind of glad they didn't else it would just be a shameless rip. It's bordering on that already, even with the attempted novel on the dial.

One quick trick to ruining an entire design.

Applied markers just don't fit on "tool" watches, be it fliegers or divers.

It's a shame really, some people think they're better / more important for owning an expensive watch and act a certain way. Some people just enjoy having a nice piece to wear. I find a lot of people that wear TAG think they're above everyone else when they have no idea how shit their watch really is and just bought one because of the name and/or price.

Sinn is to IWC what Steinhart is to Rolex

>>56327857
Why would Sinn want to copy Rolex? They're an engineering and development company, not a movement caser.

They have proprietary technology in their movements, they have proprietary technology in their cases. They put serious effort into improving their products.

so.. ETA right?

>>56328030
Let's say that's true, they copy some IWC designs. As an IWC owner I don't care, but Sinn also:

>designed a lubricant-free escapement
>designed a surface-hardening technique for steel and titanium
>designed a dehumidifying system
>designed an oil-filled diver

So, as far as I'm concerned, they're making a meaningful contribution to the advancement of watchmaking.

Miyota 9015.

Tisell are a Korean brand who put the 9015 in a few of their models, they hover around the $200 mark.

>>56334570
They existed but were less common than the 17 jewel disposable one.

>>56334734
Clockmaking tradition. Most watches and clocks with Roman numerals do this since the 17 th century, in order to maintain symmetry (same # of characters per side of dial) and to minimize the number of molds needed to cast them.

>>56334734
It's a thing for watch dials

It's suppose to make it more balanced or something

I don't think Roman numerals are all the specific when recording numbers, I think xiiiii is as acceptable as Xv but isnt used for practical reasons

>>56334734
Because the Romans used IIII and IV both, apparently IIII was pretty common.

My dad's old watch

He got it late 50's, early 60's and i tried to google the manufacturer "Leopard" with no result

Do any of you know anything about these watches?

>>56341828
his tiers might be fucked but the steinhart placement isn't why.

What's a DW?

>>56341546
The point of the triangle is that you have more options in the lower sections you fuckwit.

Do metal bands catch on wrist hair?

>>56342108
The problem with Tissots all the faggots thinking they buy a nice watch, when it's just an overpriced Swatch in a different case.

Chronometers are the exception, but what sane person would buy a COSC Tossit?

>>56342167
>What's a DW?
bland "fashion" watch

What she's /g/ think of my autismo watch. I've had it for years, and I can't believe it still works with the way I've treated it.

>>56341546

Put stowa in the same category as steinshit please.

Their watches cost twice as more and they used chink parts.

People only buy their watches because of muh history

>>56342010

Shit ones might, a good one won't. Generally speaking if the links are solid it will be fine, but I've had plenty of perfectly serviceable folded link bracelets.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good watch with moon phases that's not crazy expensive?

>>56334247
post it I really want a simple flieger and stowas are 2 expensive

Where can i get a nice Seiko replica or one for cheap?
something like the SEIKO SUR897P1 is okay, but better glass is better?

>>56331612
Replace face snd straps eh?

>>56342733
bingo

>>56341546
Your hierarchy is flawed because it allows no room for cheap recommendations.

People should buy, for example, certain Casio watches, and certain Hamiltons, and certain Cartiers.

Is there a digital watch that doesn't make me look like more of a nerd?

I'm wearing that watch right now and it is absolutely nerdy as fuck, all my IT coworkers love it.

>>56342733
Where does Stowa and Laco fit in there. Guessing Laco is in the first and stowa in the second?

>>56343359
Is a AE1200WHD even nerdier?

I've gotten compliments for it from people I'd never think as nerdy. It's probably all in your mind, anon. Try surrounding yourself with non-nerdy people or find a new career.

Or just spend half a year's wages on >>56342968

Well so do I but that's because it's so exotic looking. Very retro futuristic, it would look completely at home with a pocket protector and thick glasses.

I'm wondering this too. Especially how Laco, Stowa, MkII, Archimede, and Steinshit compare.

>>56342579
Saved an entire life, for Omega?? They are way more affordable than that, especially used.

Rado for neckbeards?? Now this is getting weird.
