So are there any pilot style quartz watches with day date and small size (like 38-39mm)? Seems like this is a fucking impossible thing to ask for in a watch.

>>56510291
Look at Citizen's Eco-Drive range.

>>56510291

Define pilot style.

I also want a small watch with a clean face, gmt and date.

The only ones I like so far are the Sinn 6x series.

>>56510291
Is 42mm small enough?

Can't really define it, as I don't even like the standard flieger style, but I'll give an example. Pic related is seiko snkh63. I love this watch. The only problem with it is that it's mechanical, and while I could live with it's accuracy, it broke down on me twice now and I'm fed up. I want quartz. There are similar quartz watches (field watch style I guess), but with no day.

Citizen BM8180. It's more of a field watch style but I think it will suit your needs. 37mm case, the strap is a bit stiff but it looks pretty good on a Bond nato.

I have to know, I know eco-drive is solar powered quartz, but is this watch user service-able?

What I mean is, does this use a regular quartz watch which they've found a way to recharge, or is there some kind of proprietary over-priced battery used you have to order from the manufacturer?

thanks man, i've been trying to decide between the snk809 and the bm8180, and you actually replied to me 4 days ago i think

i'm conflicted, i like the face of the citizen more, but the movement of the seiko mech is smooth. i would love to have the snkk35, but don't want to order from chinkland. the citizen is a nice compromise though.

i mean, you can't deny that its gaudy

a big part of watches though is your body type. on a bigger guy, that won't look ridiculous. on a smaller man, it is tacky.

also wanted to give you a little idea of why i have this perspective - i'm a college student

i would never consider throwing 2k at something that isn't a car or a house/apt

however, if you are rich, and you want your tudor for the status alone, i would not buy it. most people don't even know that tudor is by rolex, and if you are in richer social circles they'll simply see you as having stopped short of getting the real thing.

less embarassing to not have one, than to have the half assed one. ofc it looks like a nice quality watch to you and me, because it really is. some snobby fucker won't think so though ("SHITTER SHITTER SHITTER")

What's the general consensus on strap adapters for g-shocks? I want to replace the shitty factory strap on mine with a nato or zulu one, and I'm seeing that I can either get a cheap plastic/resin adapter, or a steel one for almost as much as I paid for the watch itself.

Also, perhaps there's a eurofag here who knows where to buy those fuckers in yurop, because all the sources I can find are in the US and it's gonna take forever to ship.

Just order the Shapeways 3d printed adapters. They're cheap and look better than either the typical JaysAndKays resin ones or the Suppa articulating stainless steel ones.

I used to have this Raketa GMT which I bought for 50€ and got rid of it for 90€ when I decided to sell all my slavshit to purify my collection.
Was a good deal and the watch was accurate ass fuck (+-1s every day) but I don't miss it.

How are they for quality, though? They look kinda flimsy in the pictures, and I don't know exactly how tough the material used for 3d printing is.

>+-1s every day

Good one, m8.

>>56515479

We are talking here about a 30-40 year old Soviet mechanical m8.

>>56515463

I certainly wouldn't describe them as super tough, but they are certainly stronger than the typical resin adapters out there.

For toughness you arent going to beat the steel ones, but they aren't cheap. The Shapeways are cheap, and look better to me.

>>56515512
Well, I was gonna settle for a resin adapter anyway, so if these are at least as durable, that's good enough for me. Besides, the factory strap is rubber/resin, and it's kept up rather nicely in terms of durability, so I guess this should work. I assume they fit all g-shocks, or are there specific models for certain watches?

But it does? My F-91W deviates about a second behind a month, so I sync it on the 9th of every month, which I just got done doing. Please take the Casio Cock™ from out of your ass. I love my F-91W and I never take it off unless for showering, but it IS more inaccurate than higher end quartz watches.

Whats the coolest looking watch under 2 grand?

Casio F91W

I have a note 7 and was looking around for a smart watch to go with it, but I can't find any good reviews or information that isn't outdated or pure marketing.

I'm not looking to spend over $300, so I was looking at an LG Urbane, but I'm not able to find a concrete answer on whether or not it's compatible with the Note 7.

Any anons here familiar with android watches and able to give me a bit of insight? I'm in the US if that matters.

Hey guys I currently have a Citizen, it's automatic and waterproof and very solid.

I want to buy a more classy watch for every day at the office, but I don't want to spend a fortune.
I've narrowed it down to a 40mm Rose Gold/Brown Leather combo and I'm now between Daniel Wellington and MVMT.
They both cost about $100, but which one is better?

This Citizen was my first watch so I don't know what to look for.

can you give a fellow african american some advice though? I know guns are a subjective matter, but I have boiled down my choices to 4 guns. I want one handgun and one rifle

my dad is really into both beretta and bersa and i know i fucking hate both of them, but beretta are actually well made at least.

don't buy an AK
there is literally nothing on the AK market right now under a grand worth buying.
however a ruger AR-556 is a great AR for $600

>>56518895
thanks for sound advice man, even when you don't like those particular manufacturers

yeah, i'm a manlet and i remember when i was younger i held a bersa, and it fit perfectly in my hands, much like a 1911 does too, just wasn't as large

to me it was like the perfect sized gun, and its concealable. i just am having trouble deciding between m9 civvie model or the bersa, i can't see anything wrong with them considering my small use case (i'm not a gun nut, just need something that werkz)

was leaning towards an AR too, as I have seen the ridiculous amount of parts, i guess compatibility with literally anything is > than the AK clones

will look into ruger though, as the only thing I knew around that price was the sw mp15

I want a full calendar solar watch, which one?

>Omega is 20% of Rolex effort for 80% of Rolex prices.

Are you sure? What's your source of this info? And more importantly, are you talking from experience? Have you ever owned either of the two?

Omega is a brand with a marketing department full of bullshit, yes, but also is Rolex. Have you seen the "It's takes a whole year to make a Rolex" campaign?

That doesn't mean any of those two make bad watches. On the contrary, both made excelent tiempieces for the price asked, but Omega actually delivers more bang for your money.

For example, the finishing of the movement of my sapphire sandwich Speedy is quite better than the finishing of any sport movement from Rolex, both being sold as "instrument watches" both Omega is considerably cheaper; Cellini being the obvious exception, being at a tie.

Don't judge Omega solely on the basis that it now belongs to Swatch and the bad things said on the internet, you should buy one and I guarantee you'll change your mind the moment you strap it on your wrist.

>Swatch Omega is unfit to even be mentioned in the same breath as JLC

Couple of fellas have already asked me this irl but since I have yet to use -and abuse a little- of one, I can't yet tell.

There's pros and cons of having a new movement, an in-house in particular, but that precise caliber is yet to be tested.

What I can tell you is that I have a new bronze Black Bay and till todya, I have found it very reliable.

Forget about the "in-house" fad in the industry. If a movement is good, then great, if not, doesn't matter is its exclusive or not.

Remeber the Patek Philippe 5970 -of which there is a nice article right now at Hodinkee-, has also a Lemania based caliber in its interior.

Well, when the case, bracelet and dial finishing on an Aqua Terra are obviously inferior to a Seiko Brightz when comparing both up close and personal (as I have), it tends to leave a bit of a bad impression on you.

Personally, I loathe all Maxicase Rolexes, but having handled a few up close its certainly obvious that rhe case dial and bracelet finishing are simply on another planet than the Omega's I've handled.

Personally, I care very little for movement decoration and much more for its engineering prowess, and for me modern Omega will never reach the heights that were attained with the 56x/75x movement and the Lemania 5100 Speedmasters.

Incidentally, as you are wealthy enough, you should get a holy grail speedy (Lemania 5100 in a moonwatch case, for those who don't know).

>>56524091

Yes thank you captain obvious. That would have been my point with a watch brand inferior.to Rolex being unfit to even be mentioned in the same post as JLC

What a shit post.

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!

>>56524110
I don't recall ever answering a question about the mat. I had the AR and many other firearms long before the mat and will long after.

>>56524079
I really don't understand why they bother stocking anything other than Rolex, Breitling, Tag, and maybe some Omega or IWC, because they don't have a single salesperson capable of selling anything that doesn't sell itself.

>>56523394
Orient is owned by Seiko Epson and not the Seiko Holdings Group, they are completely independent.

>>56517867
please link to me a site where I can get a 'real' databank for $50

>>56525134
> Completely independent
> Seiko Epson is owned by the Seiko group

>>56525437
The Seiko group consist of three brands: Seiko Holdings company (the watch brand), Seiko Instruments Incorporated (they make a lot of the movement technology), and Seiko Epson (they own Orient) All three are run separately with only some shareholders in common.

>>56525476
>>56525437
OK I wasn't quite right, SII is now owned wholly by Seiko Holdings but Epson is still independent and by extension so is Orient.

>>56525476
I don't think that's how Japanese businesses work but ok.

>>56525552
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seiko_Epson

>Even though Seiko Holdings and Seiko Epson have some common shareholders including the key members of the Hattori family, they are not affiliated. They are managed and operated completely independently.

>>56525560
Wow thank you Seiko for competing against yourself independently and driving prices down. The consumer really is the winner here.

Does anybody else like to put on their watch at home even though they don't need it? It feels nice.

>>56525646
No I love taking mine off.

Poorfag here. What's a good cheapo digital watch for under $30? I don't really like Casios.

>>56525913
You like Casio now. F91-W.

True but he said he doesn't like it and the Symphony seems closest to the fashion shit he's mentioning.

Seiko have always had that culture, competition drives innovation. Up to the 80s Daini & Suwa Seikosha openly competed with each other under the King & Grand Seiko brands.

orient is one of those few moderately priced watch companies that is consistently good.

i guess only time will tell how long these watches last though

You must feel so clever now right?

>>56527169
Every bit as ninefag thinks he is.

>>56505774
I hope you've been briefed on how half of these are frankensteins or plain chink copies.

Some even sell "brand new" ones.

>>56526949
Is there a way to know today which watch is made by who? From what I gathered they pretty much merged, but there must be a remainder of it, right?

What is the best Seiko diver that doesn't look like shit and why is it the SKX007?

>>56527753
There are no straight chink copies but there are fake parts like the blue dial and hands pictured while the rest of the watch was procured elsewhere, with rumors pointing to being stolen from the factory during hardship or something of that nature. The other two ones previously posted are frankensteins. An all original Raketa is only worth around $60 in good shape depending on exact model, so imagine what a shit fraken one *should* be worth.

>>56527921
>There are no straight chink copies
Brand new cases and dials and non-Raketa movement would say otherwise. They're only sold on one website though and not really widespread on ebay.

I think im going to have to throw this fake mihil tourbillion away.

I have to get to the front to fix a loose piece but after seeing this shit I dont think I can do it. I already dont know how to assemble it back together.

>>56527932
Not widespread on Ebay? There are tons of these questionable watches there. An exact copy of the case or movement isn't likely for the Chinese, but perhaps modified like the converted 12 to 24 hour movements found on these watches being a good example. The current Raketa company has openly condemned these watches before, meaning large numbers of parts escaped the factory at some point, and possibly they're trying to hide their previous dubious attempts at saving the company from going under.

Monster is a more affordable option.

Watch repairer/battery monkey anon here, I decided it's literally not a bad idea to lurk 4chan /wt/ at work. What could go wrong?

Right now there are no customers, but I'm thinking abut regularily updating /wt/ about the DOGSHIT normies bring in.

>>56528077
Hacking seconds isn't much of a useful feature when you're buying a mid-range memenichal. As for handwinding, as long as you don't own 40 watches and aren't a fat neckbeard who doesn't do anything with his life, it's not needed, plus it comes with its own issues.

>>56528381
>plus it comes with its own issues.
Only if it has the shitty ETA design.

>>56528403
It's by design anon, you can't avoid it.

>>56528321
Post the interesting dogshit though.

Or any projects you have going.

>>56526339
If you want a really cheap mechanical, save some $30 more and get a Vostok Amphibia for $55 + $15 shipping. I wouldnt recommend any mechanicals from China under $100 (some affordable but QC-ed SeaGulls at least), and Vostok truly is the cheapest of the cheap but still quite regulatable. You can get it to up to 5 secs +- per day, after a month or two.
That, or get a vintage swiss mechanical and get it serviced and regulated, but you wont have a decent cheap mechanical for under $70 anyway.

Wait for the 39mm version.

>>56528421
You can though. Don't buy ETA (except maybe 289x).

>>56528436
I can't really start taking pics at my workbench, that would really be pushing it. But I'll try to find online pics though or post links.

Right now I'm working on my own shit, a Tissot 2481/Omega 1481. I just punched out the broken curb pin. I had to order a new balanc assembly and hairspring stud, but when I installed it I broke the regulator curb pin like some Creutzfeld-Jakob asshole. So more work for me, I either figure out how to make a new one without a lathe or order a NOS Tissot regulator.

>>56528591
Is that the same 2481 that had a broken 3rd wheel?

Also, there are a few 75$~ parts movements on the bay right now.

>>56528666
Hey, I completely got about that. Turns it was fine, just that there was so much hardened crap on the pivot that it looked like it had broken off.

>>56528525
Seiko SARB-065 has a similar dial, but it's way more flashy and way more thicker.

>>56528777
>dem trips
Nice to know.

I wondered back then, do you have only the movement or a complete watch?

>>56528892
The complete watch, minus a strap, but it's not a Tissot. It's a Renis that looks like this, but with a dark metallic dial.

>>56528982
I hope the plating on yours looks at least somewhat better.

It does but there's still some wear around the edges. I'm not sure if it's possible to replate it, the plating looks more as if the watch is made from rough, dark steel and the top has some really deep brushing that I'm not sure if it's in the plating or the base metal.

>>56529156
It's a bit too big for your wrists desu

>>56528108
But we're talking about the best.
Not the most affordable.
Although, subjectively, more affordable can equal better for some.
>>56528381
Hacking seconds is still better.
Handwinding is also still better.

>>56528108
Also, there are lots of people (I'm not one of them) who think the Monster does look like shit. I think it'd be a lot harder to find people who feel the same way about the Shogun.

>>56529566
>Hacking seconds is still better.
>Handwinding is also still better.
Then any watch with ETA 2892A2 will do

>>56529156
4big8you

>>56529566
Can't argue with that.

The Shogun is a wonderful, piece but for the price i think they could have at least used something akin to a 8L35 instead of a 6R15.


>>56529579
The Monster does have a unique look to it, and in person it looks even better (arguably even more peculiar).

I like it more that the SKX, and i have both.

>>56529156
You have the wrists of a hairy 6 year old girl.

>>56529590
We were talking about Seiko divers.

>>56529717
Yeah. Even my Borealis has a 4R36 and you can find those for under $300 if you're lucky. The 6R15 isn't terrible, though. Pretty accurate and robust.

I like the monster more than the SKX, as well. I want to love the SKX, but I just don't. I love the case and have no problem with the sexy pepsi bezel...it's really just the face and hands that I can't stand. And the bracelet, of course.

Okay guys.
I need an expert here.
Im looking to buy a watch.
The watch is "Michael Kors MK8507"
The question is: what kind of coating is likely to be used here?.
Is it just painted dark, is it darkened steel?

I really dont want to buy a watch where the paint chips off or that looks shit when there are tiny scratches on the surface, that reveal the true color.

>>56529827
Monsters can still be found at sub-200$ range. The Gen2 pre-prospex SRP307 is beginning to be rare.

My only real issue with the SKX is finding a proper strap. I got the super oyster but i can't quite get used to the heft so next up i'll try something much more haram.

Plus, plenty of aftermarket hands and dials you can stick into the SKX.

>>56529845
You don't need an expert to tell you that it's dogshit.

>>56529845
It has what's called a CF-coating, as in "Canis Feces".

>>56529892
If its dogshit or not was not the direct questions.
If you can recommend a better watch of that kind and pricerange i would be happy to hear about it.

>>56529926
Any watch. Casio, or Seiko or whatever. Just avoid fashion garbage.

>>56529926
Orient Bambino (V1,V3 or V4), Citizen BM7100-59E, and or one of the various Seiko 5 models on the lower end.

Otherwise, Seiko SRP703 if you can find one a Citizen Grand classic.
