The pre-select watches have been chosen.

If you remember, Tudor submitted 3 black bays for different catagories and all three have been pre-selected. Which is pretty crazy.

The UN Grand Deck Marine Tourbillon is on the pre-select list.

It may be a little loud and big at 44mm, but it is a little mechanical marvel and is consistent with the "deck of a ship" astetic. They actually have this watch submitted under the "sports" category.

From the Seiko Camp, the Fugaku Tourbillon made pre-select under the "Artistic Crafts" category.

So did the Presage chronograph in the "Petite Aiguille" category. This would be the least expensive watch in the GP, I believe. If you know about the 8R family Seiko chronograph movements, or have heard me talk about them before, you know they are the ones that use three vertical clutches, one for each chronograph hand for smooth engagement. A pretty stellar mechanical chronograph movement, and one of the best deals in new mechanical chronos there is.

This particular watch is tribute to Japan's first wristwatch, the Laurel, which was made by Seiko.

Competing with the Presage is the Hermes, Slim d'Hermes. I'm expecting this to win that category if they do not pick the 'email' hermes to win the overall Men's category.

Can anyone suggest a strap? I have very small wrists (@6"). I'm thinking of either a nato strap or a 3 ring zulu. Which one makes the watch look bulkier?

It's ok, but why not get a mechanical watch?

Lol. It's fucking hideous.
Don't think i could wear it even if i was the most captain captain in all Monaco

>>56426565
Is not my style, i wouldn't but if you like it and the price is OK (seems a bit high to me even at 90 quid) then sure you get it.
It's never going to be collectable so i don't think our opinions count a great deal unless you are worrying about it being dogshit

I've recently noticed how much I love ticking sounds. What sorts of watches are known to have obnoxiously loud ticking or movements?

this, or seiko snk809?

i am trying to have a little more class with what i buy now as i'm an "adult" now, so i am not considering the weekender. also am manlet so smaller cases is better for me

Hi there!

You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form. You should always try to post anonymously, unless your identity is absolutely vital to the post that you're making!

Now, there's no need to thank me - I'm just doing my bit to help you get used to the anonymous image-board culture!

There's nothing high end about an oversized, overpriced miyota diver

>>56429750

>>56432888
What would you suggest then? When I said "mid to high end" I meant price, which is relative, to me $750 USD is a mid-high range price point for a watch. I'm not really that big of a watch person, I just want a decent looking and well performing auto or mechanical watch for $600-$900 USD.

buy yourself a couple of seikos instead of that tempest. turtle or mongster and a sarb033/35, and you'll still have a couple hundred left over.

>>56433226
That looks nice. Any chance I'd ever find this for $60 or less?

you can buy that for around $85 any time you want on ebay

Dunno m8, I'm not in burgerland. I think they are around £60 from retailers over here though so you should be able to find it cheaper online.

>>56433318
I already have a few of Seikos, including a monster, a sumo, and a sarb033. As well as some pieces from Orient and Victorinox (all under $600 USD. I'd just like to move up in price range and was wondering what to get.

I already have one of those on the way. Should arrive tomorrow, but that has a vastly different layout. It's a B type AND it has a date. Not to mention if a Laco is considered shit tier then I don't think SNK809 can be considered that much better.

Protipp: No one will ever get close enough to read the brand name on the dial. In a normal conversational (or "social distance", see pic) distance a Bagelsport looks the same as a Grand Seiko. Only inside the personal space can that be read, and the people you'd let normally let that close will already know about how much of a poorfag you are.

I'm the same guy you answered in both posts. And yes I'm dead serious. Taste is subjective and I think that case looks like dogshit.
I know Stowa is better but as I said 40MM is too big for me. Might wait and save money till they make a 36MM for which there seems to be quite a few requests and just use my SNK809 till then.

it's good to buy used on ebay if you are unsure of a watch, if you don't like it you can resell it and not lose money

if you love it and have to have a new one you can sell it and not lose money then buy a new one

when you go through a lot of watches buying new ones you don't know if you will like and losing 100bucks re selling every one can add up

>>56423043
Beautiful watch, but the placement of "Swiss Made" really pisses me off. They should've placed it under the date.

>>56441334

The SNK809 is much better because it has a price that is reasonable for its movement and level of finishing.

The Laco is a fucking pleb catcher, selling a watch that should be €100 at most for €350 to schmucks that don't k ow any better.

Can anyone help a /g/uy out?

I've never done this before, so i took one of my dad's old watches (he hasn't used it in many years) and I decided to replace the battery for practice.

When I put the new battery in, the metal casing around it felt kind of funny, like it was sticking up. I also had to force the back faceplate in there by holding it down and screwing it. When I pressed some of the buttons do set the time, they just went further into the body and did not come out like normal, like a vidya game controller gets when the buttons are sticky.

Did I just fuck the watch, or can I fix whatever I did wrong? It isn't that big a deal as my dad wasn't using it, I just want to know for reference in the future so I can do my own shit.

>>56446378
The battery should slide under that tab, it was probably what stopped the case from closing. The buttons should be pushed back out once the movement is seated in the case properly again.
Make sure the battery is facing the correct way when you put it in again.

Hope that helps you

And why not just get the handwound variant if this makes you shit your pants?

>>56456398
>What's the failure rate of the 2824-2 due to handwinding, and not due to poor lubrication?
Probably way, way below 50%, but still unacceptably high if even ETA themselves do not recommend constant handwinding.
>How is it not a budget movement?
It is, but a whole replacement bridge isn't the same as for example swapping a click spring, you goalpost-moving dummy.
>And why not just get the handwound variant if this makes you shit your pants?
Or a Seiko. Or a Citizen. Or a fucking Vostok even. All of these have both automatic and manual winding and none suffer from this defect. Or any modern automatic movement for that matter.

I'm starting to think Casio seriously underrates the water resistance of their terrorist models. There was that WUS thread with some guy going diving with their chrome terrorist with no problems so I gave my F-91W a round in the pressure chamber.

TL;DR: this little fucker survived 5atm/50m (done with air, not water) with no problems, though according to the instrument it was absolutely flattened, more than five hundred micrometer deformation, that's half a millimeter, but it survived without being flooded with air.

Many thanks.

so, i'm really into doing things myself as much as possible. as i started looking into nicer, mechanical watches, i learned from online searches that they should be serviced every 3 to 5 years. looking at youtube, DIY mech watch servicing doesn't seem to be that simple.

should i buy a very nice swiss movt quartz watch then? the only needed service that i know of for a quartz watch the battery, which is a simple fix

>>56457117
you could also get a japanese quartz ofc

It's relatively pricey for a 7s36. The new version has a 4r36 but they really fucked the design, the dial doesn't have the cool two tiered effect and it has the most pig disgusting cyclops I've ever seen. Still pretty tempting though, the white is definitely superior to the black.

got my seiko in today with a leather strap. I got this watch specifically for gamedays, alma mater colors are red/black. I'm pretty happy with the way this looks.

the default canvas strap suuuucks.

I kind of want to get a new bezel for my Vostok, what are good places to get one? Preferrably somewhere I can buy an insert as well.

Also apparently I like red and black.

Just picked this up, it isn't as bulky or unwieldly as you'd think. So glad I went with it. Really enjoying it and glad I pulled the trigger. Still waiting on my AP coming in next month.

Snk803 and you buy your own brown leather strap. It's your best bet.

>>56460199
I can't speak for that watch in particular but my bulova is pretty good quality, even the strap, it was an accutron 2 and cost me about $200
May be too large for you as i think it was about 41mm, but was very slim so it wears alot smaller looking than it is.
I'm guessing that bulova will also be pretty slim

What's the best quality NATO you can get? I mean something that can actually justify the money. I'm looking at what this anon >>56426271
said since my SNK809 came in the mail and the strap on it is uncomfortable as fuck. Are phoenix NATO's da best? Also I need it to have many holes since I'm using the second to last on the one that came with the watch.

>>56460670
I got it at the lolex store. For tree fiddy.

>>56460619
I just got this for fun, I don't even dive to the bottom of the swimming pool. Was considering a sub but two of my brothers and like 8 of my friends own one already. Didn't want to follow the crowd. And yes I have qt girly wrists.

It's like a hubcap around the neck of a 4 year old girl

16mm or 18mm nato strap fits on a f91w?

or, should i leave f91w as is so as to alert all LEO and NSA in my area?

>>56460858
Should have gotten a vintage sub instead.

I got a 16610
But i really wanted the James Bond one :/

I just think it's such a waste to buy the deep sea without being a diver.

I mean you could have gotten the green anniversary or something collectable instead

>>56461053
18mm for the f91w unless you're 007
