Is the Casio DW9052 a good deal for $40 new?

>>56828252
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!

>>56828607
Seems alright. I like the DW-5600 with the square instead of round design for about the same price.

is the Casio MRW200H a good cheap watch?

>>56829074
Not really, it's cheap, flimsy plastic and resin. Rotating bezel especially sucks. It's as accurate as any cheap quartz though.

>>56829194
What's the best analog watch I can get for under $30?

>>56829208
Timex Weekender? Pope watch? I don't have any personal experience with them though, I have a job after all.

>>56829208
Stretch for the timex expedition

>>56829208
I'd suggest saving 10 extra bucks and getting a MDV-106.

Otherwise a Timex Expedition Scout or Weekender.

>>56829208
The Casio you posted is actually pretty decent as a beater. Very shock resistance and has a functional bezel
Timex is dogshit. If the shitty movement doesn't turn you off then avoid them because they use the worst press casebacks in the industry.
It's impossible to change the battery on your own basically.
If you want a steel watch then MDV106 is easily the best cheap quartz you can get.
Diving WR, pretty nice bezel and it has standard lugs if you want to change the strap later on.

It's a cheap Seiko 5 that I bought 4 years ago. I replaced the shitty metal bracelet with a nice leather one. My other watch is a Casio G-Shock.

Dream watch is an Omega Speedmaster Professional but I'm too frugal to ever buy one for myself.

I'd just need a watch with an alarm. I'd prefer all black and simple.

I think I had one of these before but I lost it. Also the strap was uncomfortable. Should I go with the meme watch?

So last night I posted because a gear fell out and the hands weren't turning when I was fucking around with an ST17 movement.
The gear turned out to be the part responsible for hand-winding the watch, and after cleaning the movement and tightening a screw or two it started running fine again (as much a seagull movement can).

After modifying the dial and getting it all put back together I might see about regulating it, but only time will tell.

>>56830663
This is the same chink brand that makes the fifty fathoms homage right?

No I just happen to come across a lot of used watches in my business. They're all mostly shitty quartz watches and 95% of them all have dead batteries. There's some vintage betty boop and cartoons acrylic watxhes. And a translucent swatch. Not sure what to do with them but I will have a lot of straps for any watch I decide to buy.

Hello /wt/, I'm looking for a watch with this kind of style but a little bit smaller, something like 36-39mm (this one's 44mm) and way more cheaper than this one wich is €349.
I prefer mechanicals but if you have Quartz in mind I guess that would work too.
I also don't mind if is a pre-owned vintage, that would be sweet too, just suggest model names and I'll start searching.

>>56833157

It's an abomination. Save up and get the FOIS if you are a wristlet. It's smaller without ruining the original design.

>>56833632
What exact model is that?

>>56833669
FOIS = First Omega in Space

It's a Speedmaster Professional only without the crown guard, so it wears a little smaller. I've got one, would also recommend. Doesn't come on a bracelet though.

>>56833357
I just don't like the fact that it doesn't have the dick and balls at 12 o'clock like a Speedmaster is supposed to.

They usually get pieced together from whatever, seiko 5 and the 7s26 movements are so common I doubt whether they use any other parts, they would just piece the movements together from a couple parts

I sold a curry seiko to somewhere here and the movement was alright, a legit 7s26. Everything else on it was shit though

Reposting to see if there's any interest/an actual answer to my question:

Does anyone know of the best place to sell auctions other than Ebay? For watch enthusiasts?

I have a Tisell ST2130 that I bought, and haven't worn once. I love it for a mechanical SeaGull movement, it's just too big for my wrist.
It's 40mm, and in my opinion looks great, just too huge.

>pre-coax Seamaster Pro 300 comes in
>tfw it's just another watch

>>56837636
It's not mine, it came in for repair.

I mean is there a point even ever going above Seiko Presage level?

>>56837534
An anon in the last thread was expressing interest in buying it. Otherwise WUS is perhaps best as far as exposure goes but they're turboautists about post count and account life to list on /f29/.

>>56837763
Yeah, that one anon was why I reposted it, along with wondering about possible vendor sites.

WatchUSeek is going to be worth checking out, I guess. I don't want to have to shitpost to be able to sell though, that's fucking annoying.

What about Chrono24? Or is that for more high-end watches?

Are hacking levers the biggest scam? I just installed one in my 70's ETA and I bet it's worth twice as much now.

>>56837806
They do have some lower end stuff but because of their reputation as a high end kind of place it's pretty low on the list of places I check when I'm shopping for that kind of stuff.

>>56837881

You mean you installed a hacking lever in a movement that didn't have one? Cool. Details and pics please.

>>56838079
I don't have the pictures right now, maybe at home. But it's an ETA 2783 it normaly didn't come with hacking, but the post for the hacking lever is literally there on the mainplate, all I had to do is drop the part in.

The lever was originally meant for a different movement of course, but even ETA lists it as compatible with the 2783.

>>56836050

I really dig it.

>>56837763
I don't blame them. A lot of the watches sold are over a grand.
>>56837534
How's $40? You'll learn quick that chink watches don't retain value. Especially with seagull movements

>>56836050
No it's probably too expensive for an ugly watch. If you want a watch with a gaudy dial get a Komandirskie.

So when is Omega going to reinvent this into something better? The Buzz Aldrin Mars watch project seems pretty dead. After a spurt of interest mid-August there has not been any news from what I can find. Seems it will be just another Speedmaster with a new set of colours. And no hands for Phobos or Deimos.

Are chronographs a meme?

I bought this. The minutes hand is almost half a tick behind and it's really difficult or impossible to see how many minutes passed.

Can I return it? I wore it briefly.

I liked the cut out hands cos you can see the chronograph, but if I won't use it then its pointless and the hands are hard to see.

>>56842577
I own one of these. Awesome.

>>56842966
No, chronographs are not a "meme." also you can almost certainly change the minute alignment with some crown/button combination, did you try reading the directions?

Quartz chronographs can be zeroed, it's in the manual retard.

>>56843063

I set it forward one click, but it was then just over half a minute past 0.

It's not 100% aligned

>>56843063
>>56843092

It's not a full minute out, it's a fraction, which makes it difficult to read.

"Oh it's slightly before 4 minutes, so 3 minutes something? Oh but the seconds hand says 15 seconds, so it's 4 minutes 15 seconds cos the minutes hand is slightly behind".

>>56842611
Don't worry about it, it's like the bigfoot and UFO footage. Sightings are so rare of an automatic dive watch actually used for diving that you take what little blurry pics you get.

Funny thing is, i was debating on using the bezel to time the dive and thought, nah, the lead diver has a dive computer. At the end of the dive he came up to me and said his computer ran out of battery mid-dive and asked if i'd used my watch to time it...

Something like that is really specific to your experience. Depends on how deep the scratches are and how many scratches you've gotten. See if you can get the crystal thickness from for your specific model from Seiko, directly, or somewhere on the internet. Then consider that lots of scratches are fractions of a millimeter deep.

>>56843442
Best of the three options, I think.

My initial thought was to get the blue one (I still may) but I picked up the green cause the cost savings was huge at the time. The green has grown tremendously on me.

Of course Earth phase would be handier but few watches do other than the Grand Autismos from UN.
And in any case, hardly ANY of those buying a Speedy Moon watch will ever walk on the Moon.

>>56842447

I'll let you know when it arrives. It actually said it was new with tags on the listing.

>>56851653
They're called moonwatches because they were brought to the moon. I don't know why you think a moonphase should be connected to that when said watches did not have that complication.

>>56851935
>>56851653
And in fact a hypothetical "earthphase" is even more useless as the earth is either 100% visible or completely unable to be seen thanks to the moon being tide locked. The other issue is the shadow the moon casts on the earth is miniscule and in fact only rarely crosses the planet (in the form of a solar eclipse).

Actually never mind the second point, I mixed up the new moon and a lunar eclipse. The point is still true that you can't really have an earth phase because if the moonphase measures one solar day on the moon an earth phase is just a regular 24 hour clock.

I like the leather a lot more than the mesh band. Though i'm planning to get a couple of NOS mesh bands.

On a side note, there is a 5256 KS on fleabay.

>>56853297

I like the leather on the grey sunburst dial, I want to get a slightly more casual looking black leather band for the 52KS, though I remain a complete sucker for the thick mesh I usually wear on it.

I like the mesh not just for looks but for versatility of matching outfits.

Just looked up that 5256 on fleabay. Way overpriced for the condition it's in, particularly as an 8000 rather than the more classically styles 8010 (that's the one I have).

Will I find a job as a used car salesman if I buy this?

No but srs what does /wt/ think about two tones?

sarb035 is way classier than the more popular 033, had both but sold both though since I loathed the low quality bracelet which didnt even fit the overall look.

been wanting a mechanical chronograph for a while.

i like the style of the Speedmaster Professional, but the cheap-feeling pushers and the non-hacking second annoy me. i like the ones with the crown guards though.

i saw a Grand Seiko SBGC013 yesterday. the movement is absolutely gorgeous. my problem with Seikos is the aesthetic, mainly. and for ~$10k that's Daytona territory.

wat do?

>>56853297
What are the 2 watches on the right and how hard are they to get?

>>56854650
>non-hacking second
>for an aerospace (and originally racing) chronograph

Heres a pic of the 035

>>56854857

to be fair to Omega, it's only the Professional with the manual movement that doesn't hack, and that's partly because it's old tech. the automatics hack.

A splendid example of an excessively busy face will reduce fast readability. Sometimes less is more and that is also true here. If they wanted more elan they should have used a slightly different colour for the hands.

One hour marker missing? No distinguishing marker for 12 o'clock? At least >>56843459 took care of that.

Those who don't know that 1000 ft is near enough 300 m should not be allowed to dive in anything other than a bathtub and even then only in the shallow end.

>>56846881
I have a similar one, a good watch. It just goes on and on. Nothing fancy, just reliable.

Absolutely disgusting. Even more tacky looking than all gold . it also screams that you're too cheap to get a real gold watch.

Would you /wt/?

Also do a google image search for "rolex expoler vintage" if you wanna see some great watch porn.

>>56855349
Maybe the white gold then? Cant stand the flat bezel steel version tbqh

But dont really understand too cheap, its more like maybe too poor since it maybe 5 times the price? Really shouldnt sell of my sub for a tudor, especially when it used to be my grandpas... And I really hate having too many watches nowadays, since I'm trying to be one watch guy nowadays (or 2 hehe)

Honestly the new explorer is way classier and actually a very succesful update by Rolex to their line up unlike their daytona or sub updates...

>>56855210

the date window is probably at 6 o'clock, and 12 is at the left in the pic.

>>56855546
>Honestly the new explorer is way classier
Wow, you're really dumb. But why?
>tripfag
Oh, right. That's why.

do leather natos add a lot of thickness compared to normal nato straps?

What is the best automatic watch you could buy for under 150$, can be used watch because that gives you more bang for your buck. give me recommendations please!

Been posting and browsing probably longer than most here, way more watches circulated, money spent. Think its just fair to have trip on so you can recognize a faggot a mile away just like NineGags

>>56855639
Oh yeah I forgot about those. I was looking at some vintage seikos on ebay. The LM style, would those be a good purchase or would I have to get them serviced ?

You should always factor the cost of a service into the purchase of any vintage mechanical unless the seller can present very good proof of it having been serviced recently.

Has anyone been watching clicksprings clock series, its the comfiest viewing desu

Please recommend some more comfy watch channels

>>56855709

Just stay away from vintage watches if you aren't willing to do enough research on your own to be able to spot a good deal from a rip-off, because you will definitely get scammed by some South Korean franken-redial with a totally rounded case.

>>56854622
Personally I prefer the 2 tone, the full gold is too gaudy.

>>56855857
How do I research?

>>56855757
How expensive would the service be? Does anyone service their own watches at home? I used to have a working 1960s omega seamaster, and i took it to a watch place and they said it would cost 400$. So I just sold it for 350 on ebay...

Protip: Sarb065 COCKtail is a meme watch. 2big4u case, very flat case design, shitty strap, poorly finished (dial imperfections that dont show up in photos), very noisy rotor.

Seiko lm special 5206 and Seikomatic weekdater 6206. Pretty hard, but there is a 5206 like mine for sale on the bay.

Just sold one of my 5206's slightly different on ebay as well.

>>56856206
An ugly watch.

>>56856206
Nice link m8, what if I outbid you?

>>56856140
I was just looking at this on amazon and it seems very expensive, although it is very well reviewed.

>>56856206
Well it is an fairly new eta but ugly, probably will gor for over 200$ though

Go ahead, maybe that's what I was hoping after I made a bid that I automatically regretted.
