>>56470299
"Non-battery" watches are not a meme in any way. Mechanical watches are basically the only thing any serious collector will have. It's a sign of engineering perfection. Cheap quartz watches are easy to manufacture. Also, mechanical watches normally don't have an open face like that, although some will have a display-case back so that you can see what's going on.

>>56471542

Hey guys, the apple watch is a 57260 for a fraction of the price!

>>56470869
how does one tell when a watch is too big

>>56478549
It's the best watch and not overmemed. The moonwatch (3570.50.00) is the safest bet overall.

The cal 8500 watches have a nice "in-house" movement and should be considered

The Seamaster 300 MC is new, but really cool, as are the PO watches.

>>56478624
The rule of thumb is that the lugs shouldn't stick out over your wrist.

It gets a bit trickier with nonstandard lugs and whatnot, and some watches are made to just be fuckhuge, so in the end you just have to trust your gut.

This just might be the best sports watch ever made, and I don't have to wear it to keep it charged. When I get home I can just plug it into my MacBook and it will not only charge but download all of my exercise data.

Its very tempting especially since I am putting a pre-order on an iPhone 7+ 128GB in Jet/Piano Black.

You don't get it anon. 50m WR is 5 bar wich translates as barely minimum to have activities in "shallow waters" meaning you can only goof around at about 2 meters below the surface. If the iWatch touches the bottom of a 5 meters pool it's fucked.

>>56482382
came out to be just under $400 with shipping, however they don't give tracking numbers, which is inexcusable as far as i'm concerned and refused to answer emails.

What are some of the best dive watches under $200 for a person with small wrists?

Been thinking of picking up a pepsi mako on nato

>>56482397
It's tested by Apple, they don't do standard testing their tests usually go above and beyond. This includes dropping the watch from a height to 50m deep to simulate rapid pressure. Did you even watch the conference they put on today?

>>56482673
You're new to this.
So let us tell you.

Watches are a fickle matter.
Until ISO test it, and thus rate it, they can claim whatever they like. But once ISO test it, and publish their findings, if it does not meet the 50m criteria, and Applel still continue to advertise it as such, well, that's false advertisement right there.

Why I even bother replying to such transparent 'trolls' I don't know, guess it's a slow evening.

50m WR is next to nothing, and corelates to an international standar

SEE PIC RELATED

I'm looking at these two watches. Nothing I really need or have money for right now but I really like the design and want something to look forward for in the future.

https://www.stowa.de/en/Flieger+Klassik+40+no+logo.htm

http://www.archimede-watches.com/pilot-39-h-black-leather.html

Any reason the Stowa is 300E more expensive? I believe one factor is the thermally blued hands? Afaik also the case on the Stowa is not made in Germany unlike on the Archiemde.

>>56478549
>overmemed

My Speedmaster is basically the only watch I will ever need as long as I don't intentionally fuck it up.

It's one of the most reliable and versatile watches ever made and relatively speaking, worth every penny.

I would say that perhaps they should be $1000 cheaper.

But I understand why Omega sells it at that price.

>>56482899
Different grade movements is the most likely scenario here, as well as just general differing materials, general construction and build quality.

>>56482452
Maybe some revenue is so high because their costs are so low and their customers are getting majorly ripped off?

>>56482969
They both seem to be using Eta 2824-2. Also as I said the case afaik is better quality on the Archimede. Do you have anything more specific? I don't know exactly what to look at and how they compare.

>>56482993
>They both seem to be using Eta 2824-2
Read again.
Different grades.

The Archi could be using Elaboré, it's not stated.
However the Stowa takes pride in toting that it rocks a Top Grade 2824-2.

>>56482899
The stowa has a better decorated probably higher grade movement. The archimede is a stock 2824 with no modifications/decorations. But if all you care about is movement grade, you can get Mido with a chronometer grade 2836 for $600.

>>56483016
Alright. I thought there was just ONE manufacturer for that exact movement. I'm not very knowledgeable as I said as far as what to look for. Any way I can find out more exactly? Are the difference between grades that big? For example I'm looking at the Stowa and it mentions it has blued screws. Something I'm guessing adds to the price but with close to no extra functionality so you end up paying more.

>>56482973
Revenue is just sales price times volume

Has nothing to do with cost

>>56483044
First and foremost I want a clean Flieger Type A then movement comes into consideration.

>>56483070
Brainfart, I was thinking of profit, not revenue.

>>56483068
Standard – Average variance of +/- 12 seconds per day. Maximum variance of +/- 30 seconds per day. Two adjustment positions.

Elaborated – Average variance of +/- 7 seconds per day. Maximum variance of +/- 30 seconds per day. Three adjustment positions.

Top – Average variance of +/- 4 seconds per day. Maximum variance of +/- 10 seconds per day. Five adjustment positions. Improved barrel spring, shock protection, pallet stones, balance wheel, hair spring and regulator mechanism.

Chronometer – Must meet COSC standards. Serial numbered. Highly decorative. Average variance of -4/+6 seconds per day. Maximum variance of +/- 5 seconds per day. Improved barrel spring, shock protection, pallet stones, balance wheel, hair spring and regulator mechanism.

Pulled right from ETA's site.
There are massive movements between grades.
While you're right in assuming there is only one manufacturer (Excluding some license agreements here and there no doubt), the construction of the movement remains the same, but the component quality varies wildly, and to show the difference in grades, each grade is thus decorated to a different, well, grade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UILl6PFbOzA

>>56483129
Thanks a lot. That was very helpful. So I'm going to assume that if the type is not mentioned it's just going to be standard. So the difference between the Archimede and the Stowa is actually 2 grades which is huge.

>>56483099
Archimede has a thinner case at 9.9mm vs 10.2 for the stowa. Ickler has a reputation for good cases. They offer empty cases for building watches too.

>>56483191
If the type is not mentioned, we can assume whatever we like.
All I can suggest is to google up the watch, followed by "movement grade" and dig through forum posts to see if someone has opened theirs up and deduced which grade it is.

>>56483204
Does building a watch on your own come cheaper? Does it need a lot of tools? I might consider going that route, might be even more fun to wear it knowing it's partially self made.
>>56483215
I guess you are right, I was just thinking that if they had higher grade than standard they'd be sure to "boast" about it. I'm guessing you can even email the producer and they might answer back ? But yeah guess googling it should do the trick.

>>56483290
>I was just thinking that if they had higher grade than standard they'd be sure to "boast" about it
Some sites just don't list it.
The retailer I ordered my OVM through didn't list the grade, only when I looked on Steinharts on site when I was fetching a link for a buddy who was interested did I see that it's infact Elaboré grade.

>>56483314
Seems the movement on the Pilot 39H is elabore as well.

>>56483290
>Does building a watch on your own come cheaper? Does it need a lot of tools? I might consider going that route, might be even more fun to wear it knowing it's partially self made.
I don't think it will be cheaper, but you do get to select all the parts yourself, and it's fun. Building a flieger is probably easier than building any other kind of watch since there is a wide selection of dials and hands for those. Also ickler makes a really good case for 2824/2836 fleigers. I think they have a 2892 case as well which is even thinner than their 2824/2836 cases. Another advantage of building your own is you can cheap out on certain things, for example you can buy a seagull st2130 movement instead of a 2824.

>>56483338
There we have it then!
Now, if the grade makes that much of a difference alone to justify a €300 difference in price, the go ahead, but personally I'd see if you couldn't find an article comparing the two directly, showing off any differences in quality there likely is.

>>56483290
Also yeah the watch tools can be expensive too, so it's more worth it if you plan on building multiple watches instead of just one. If you are buying tools, buy good ones from the Bergeon brand. Don't buy those asian made kits.

>>56483395
The pilot 39h does indeed seem to be better value unless again I'm missing something major. Also it's somewhat thinner AND smaller 45mm lug to lug compare to @48mm on the Stowa and considering I have somewhat small wrists that's a great plus.
>>56483372
It is something I will definitely look into but I have to do some research and set some money aside. Guessing good tools aren't that cheap either and that must be factored into the cost too.

Steinshill here, I am really contemplating a Bronze Ocean One.

>>56483449
If the bronze was darker, matched closer to the colour of the hands, then I feel it would work better.

But I like the contrast of the steel and the brown. My only real peeves involve the end-links. The End Centre link is squared off, producing a slight visual flaw when worn. Even more so if you have big wrists.

AND, there is a slight overhang from the end-link to the case edge. Not immediately noticeable if you're not looking for it.

>>56483449
bronze is really a shit meme

>>56483543
IDK I just want a bronze watch for some reason. If not Steinshit then maybe Helson.

>>56483519
I do agree, and I wish the dial was more of a brown color to match the bezel as well. The green number also don't contrast well with the brown bezel and the bronze. If they do a brown dial and that fake Patina the OVM had then it just might be a day one buy for me.

Shitters !
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lSfUQasmUFY

so i'm soliciting opinions on an anonymous internet message board for a $2-3k watch.

i fly jets for a living, and there's several watches that we're getting group buys together for. however, i'm not interested in buying a quartz Breitling. or any Bell and Ross, or any of the several cheaper quartz chronographs without hi-beat chronograph hands.

what i would like, however, is a nice mechanical chronograph. self-winding or not doesn't really matter. i'm thinking of a Tag Heuer Carrera, the Omega Speedmaster (probably a Professional, though one without all the chintzy "moonwatch" stuff), or a Tudor Heritage or Fastrider Chrono.

thoughts?

Tag Heuer is pretty disliked here, generally bad build quality and not a lot of watch for the money.

You fly jets yet you don't ever consider the number one choice of commercial pilots. Do you not know what your fellow pilots wear? Are you sure you even fly jets? Have any proof?

>>56484148
That's not the point.
The worse thing about steinshitters is they think that they own something valuable, it's not, it's just another cheap copy.

anything like the skx007 for manlets?

I have a 6 inch wrist, don't want it to look gaudy

>>56484433
Most pilots don't wear those, out of all of the pilots I met I think I met one with a Breitling and it was a Breitling Emergency 2.

>>56484512

Getting a Navitimer from the rightful owner of the original license rather than zombie Breitling (which has almost no relationship to the defunct OG Breitling) would put it near your price range. Otherwise consider a Citizen Nighthawk which is also popular with commercial pilots.

>>56485277
taking a guess:

quartz movement with sweep seconds hand. the 16 steps per second make the gear train move real fast and the shit.

the prongs with the stones probably control the rotations per second.

or it serves as a stop lever then blocks the train when setting the hands

>>56486018
Wrong. Accutron tuning fork, the vibrations directly turn the wheel marginally yet rapidly.

>>56486018
This movement predates quartz by about a decade.

Tough choice really.

The alpinist really is a beast of a watch with 20ATM, sapphire and diashock, its specs are better than many divers. I don't know who's the guy at Seiko who thought a watch meant for mountaineers had to be this tough, but bless this guy. So it's really about aesthetics, and in this case, about the strap.

The alpinist is sexy af and looks great in any situation including a suit, but the combination of silver, gold and green is as awesome as it kills your strap options. So I hope you like dark brown leather because it's all you can put on it, aside from maybe shark mesh, and maybe a foliage/green/olive NATO, maybe.

Divers have a more limited palette of colors, generally grayscale, and thus can accomodate a near unlimited selection of straps, whether bracelets, leather, NATO, fabric, or silicone of all colors.

If I had to choose, I'd pick a diver just because it'd give me more options, and then I'd get an alpinist because I want both. But diver first.

What's the better way to hold a watch when you're not using it? Stationary or on a winder?
Pic for attention

The 5610 is half the price of the 5000, a tiny amount of red is better than paying double.

Get the cheap G-shock and do a negative mod like me. Instant $150 watch!

How do you do the negative mod?

>>56496137
Peel off the stock polarizing filter, cut a new one out of polarizing film at 90 degrees to the old one, stick it in. Done.

The hardest part is getting the old one off. Takes some patience.

Usually I wear it with a leather nato
But recently added this nato, I like it very much.

>>56497761
This strap is absolutely disgusting... But then again the owl penis isnt that much better, so good work Anon

Does anyone have the name or pic of the watch with one of the hands on thread? It was a finalist and swung like a pendulm?

>>56499793
Grand deck tourbillon I believe. The link to the last thread is in the OP.

Im looking for a ww2 or old watch that ticks loud.
PLEASE help!
Pic current 10 dollar watch not loud enough ticking.
My budget is 100 dollars.

>>56500319
That's a rather broad (and badly formatted) request.

Do you mean a WW2 era watch or one that was used during the time?

>>56500358
Both.

Either a non-franken, non-reprinted/original dialed Kirovskie or an A11.

Otherwise, various Swiss watches from the 40's. I had pic related a while ago, early 40's but sold as i had no time to get it properly serviced.

That's a a very stupid criteria to search for in a watch.

If want loud and cheap get a 2609 Raketa, not as old as you want but within budget.

>>56500674
Assuming you understand the implications of buying a 75 year old mechanical watch, then sure.

>>56500674
Seriously just get a Timex weekender.
People complain the ticking is so loud it wakes them up at night

>>56500472
Assuming you went into it knowing that the case was noy actually metal, then I'd say you did okay. I have the same one. Some of the features are kind of gimmick-y and useless, but it still looks kind of neat. I actually do use the alarms and countdown timer, though.

>>56500716
I don't know what the implications are.
I assume the watch goes on my wrist I walk it charges then it works.

>>56500472
It's a cool watch but the plastic painted to look like steel is vaguely insulting.

>>56501405
See the video in the OP first, then searching about on mechanical watch servicing.

Metal-on-skin gives me a rash. Do I have any options?

>>56502124
Leather, a nato strap, or try a watch with something other than bare 316L.

>>56491886
Why would you buy turtle when you can buy monster which has the same movement now for <$200? Same water resistance.

tfw got a tag for my graduation from my dad
never wore it once outside to events/ convocation
sits in box tucked away from sight
i feel bad man, my dad is old and back in his days, tag was the shit and he got one from his dad but now the tradition is broken

>>56502124
You probably have a nickel allergy, which is somewhat common. A nato, zulu, or perlon strap covers the back of the watch and keeps it off your skin, but your best bet is titanium as long as you make sure the case back is not steel. Generally this is only a problem with cheaper watches though as higher grades of steel have less nickel.

Movies and watches! Go!

>>56502124
ALL metals, or just certain ones?

Not sure if a NATO et al would help you any. Unless the watch is small, it won't cover the whole back, and, since skin is somewhat flexible, it could still come on contact with the watch back.

I think your best bet would be one of those leather bands that widens out where the watch is attached so that it covers the entire back of the watch. (Hope that doesn't sound too confusing.)

>>56502425
Wear it with pride. It's your graduation watch and a gift from your father.

>>56502528
A submariner without a date is just a submariner. Not a nodate.

>>56502246
You should ask that to those who buy turdles.

Seems the QC is god awful with them, can't even imagine how it is lower down the seiko diver line.

>>56502594
If he has a nickel allergy, then pretty much all, as nearly all metals contain some nickel as to produce the alloys.

It's a tool watch... it's not supposed to look pretty. If you want to look pretty go to /fa/

>>56502984
Attractive design and functionality are not mutually exclusive.

>>56502528
Jelly...

>>56502984
It doesn't have to look so edgy either. Look at the Submariner, a tool watch that looks good.

>>56503097
There's a place to discuss fashion, it's called /fa/ they have watch threads too

I thought people only bought neptunes for the unique case. If you change the case, isn't it no longer a neptune?

>>56503158
A useful, durable watch, by no means has to look as god awful as the Monster does. This is not about fashion, or it being a tool. There is no excuse for a bad looking watch.

The monster is cluttered, not instantly readable the same way a well designed "good looking" watch is.

>>56503304
I find it funny your trying to make this sound like a readability issue now. You're literally arguing that the triangles on a monster are unreadable somehow compared to circles, triangles and rectangles on a rolex.

>>56503390
Just you try to tell me that this watch has any reason to look like this beyond being edgy. What functional use has this styling got?

Being a tool watch is not an excuse for it being horrid to look at or read.

>>56503476
Yes it probably actually doe shave a reason for looking like that. The markers are simple and large for readability. And the shape of the markers, being triangles are arguably more precise at indicating the hours than circles or rectangles. Seriously though, you are still trying to discuss fashion but trying to sound like you are not.

>>56493958
Guys? Nobody has any idea? Again, better to store a watch perpetually winded or stationary if you're not using it for a while?

>>56503476
Triangles are good at pointing things. That's why our mouse cursors are arrows instead of rectangles and circles.

>>56503591
If you won't be using it for months on end you might as well just leave it rather than having it run continuously. Just wind it every so often just to keep the lubricant moving.

>>56503476
>>56503619
I bet your mouse cursor is a circle for the sake of "looking good".

>>56503591

Do they disable the date setting on the crown keying?
