Are there any Jap 3-6-9-12 watches? Seiko, Orient, anything? To me it looks like it's mostly a euro thing. Also I know Vostok makes them, but I'm specifically wondering about Jap.

This guy is a cunt like those guys who think they're a "car guy" cos they have a shiny new Audi, but know fuck-all about cars except how prestigious they make you look.

Is my assessment accurate? How do I get all that from a shot of someone's wrist?

>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.
I know the back story. This is juts my opinion on this, not an ultimatum I plan to send Omega. I don't know, perhaps it is a poetic side but I just like to look at the Moon and it is a lot faster to find it when you know the moon phase. Regrettably there is practically zero chance of me going there in person.

>>56852035
>And in fact a hypothetical "earthphase"
There is nothing hypothetically about the Earth phase. I even provided you with an example here >>56851653

>is even more useless as the earth is either 100% visible or completely unable to be seen thanks to the moon being tide locked.
That is both irrelevant and wrong. While tidally locked there is still libration since lunar orbit is somewhat elliptic.
Earth phase would also tell you where there is day and night and what time zones you can see.

>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).

>>56867036
>is the Seiko 5 the only viable option if I decide to satisfy my autism and go mechanical?
Orient or vostok

>Would I get better bang for my buck if I went for a quartz movement instead?
generally not, no. But a 40 dollar g-shock is a good watch for the money.

>Where's the best place for a yuropoor to buy watches anyhow?
Not sure. I know creationwatches out of singapore is good, but not sure if it's the best option for you guys.

>>56867036
I'm Dutch and I bought my Seiko 5 sport from Monsterwatches.nl . Might want to take a look at that, he sells all kind of seiko and casio watches. He also does sand/pearlblasting of watchcasings and has a nice warranty policy.

>>56867036
Buy a Vostok Amphibia if you want handwinding with your automatic movement. Seiko 5 and Orient is fine too, just no handwinding. But you get to quickset the date which Vostoks don't have.

And what does that mean when we land in reality?
>Titanium case, ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal and automatic movement
Really. There is exactly zero news here.Titanium, ceramics and sapphire has been used for decades and what spud thinks automatic movement is new?! Perhaps this is more a bald faced attempt of emptying the pockets of the uninformed, a kind of idiot tax.

>In a sea of "me too" minimalistic watches and clones, we set about redefining what an affordable, crowdfunded watch could be.

>might as well just use a GPS receiver instead
GPS receivers use a lot of power. It was built for US military in a WWIII scenario, not with civilian mobile equipment in mind.

Thus cellular receivers might be better and the low frequency time stations are very likely the best in terms of power requirements.

Invicta is greater value than the Seiko or Vostok due to it being around 89$ and having a high level seiko movement (nh35, hacking and handwinding) and better depth resistance than a cheap seiko 5. Also avoid russian shitters, low quality movements that cant be serviced easily.

Boy are you trying hard.

But you can't compete pricewise with watches that are assembled in the back room of Chinese sweatshops. And just because they drop in a NH35 doesn't meant the rest of the watch is equally well made. Or as >>56869316 said.

20$, its probably shot junk, TGV just recently bough some random automatic that was in much better conditon and better looking for 30$. Make sure its working before buying but I would suggest to avoid it.

What are the best beater watches for under $50 and has a quartz movement? Digital is okay. I want something iconic but ubiquitous.

You could get a decent quartz chronograph from Seiko or Citizen.

A lot of their models are aviation-esq, but i think something along the SSB line from Seiko would be nice. Especially interesting is the 6T6X/VK64 mechaquartz movement. (SSB031P1 as an example)

Or attempt to get a decent shape Poljot 3133.

>>56870601
Ignore and filter him.

Overall, a British made Timex that's in good shape is worth a 40$ and up to 75$ in mint shape.

But the one you posted is far from it.

>>56870668
What did I just tell him? That its FAR from being worth 40$. But whatever. Any vintage watch worth around 20$ is a so called shitter, poo in the loo, no offense.

>>56870751
>Any vintage watch worth around 20$ is a so called shitter, poo in the loo, no offense.

A poo in the loo watch is pretty much any Seiko 5/Citizen/Orient/Ricoh that comes out of India, along with the domestically made HMT.

The movement is the key to deciding whether it's a shitter watch or not, and in the case of the Timex having a cheap unjeweled movement it's certainly is. Same goes for the Timex automatic.

The Timex Dynabeat models are interesting though, 28800 bph along with some GMT models.

Hello Pajeet, long time no see.

What salary do I need to earn in USD in order to comfortably afford and maintain a Swiss mechanical watch? What is your profession and how much do you earn?

My first "expensive" watch will be from Nomos. I just can't decide what model.
If you had to buy a Nomos today, which one would you choose?

Good god, this guy is a serious tool, just look at the comments he leaves. Do you really have to be an insufferable douche nowadays to make it as a Youtube watch reviewer?

>>56871384
I really like the Tangente, it's the watch that brought me to Nomos in the first place.
I wouldn't get the Doctors without Borders one myself, but they really do appeal.
But the Tangente almost seems too obvious of a choice, and too simple for its own good. The other models have slightly more complex designs; I'm afraid the Tangente would get old fast after wearing it too much.

>>56871365
Rodina lol

/wt/ lets design a watch together. First lets start with the dial: Logo is /wt/ thats easy, but what will read under it? First one wins.

Then comes what will read on the lower part of the dial, first three gets put on.

Warming up my photoshop meanwhile.

>>56871579

The reason I want a watch from Nomos isn't just the looks.

>>56871489
So I memed you earlier posting a $15 chink knockoff, but I would actually recommend requesting a catalog from nomos. Some other anon did and posted pics and it looked pretty good.

I look down at my wrist to see my dw5600 displaying the time.

If I shower in the dark I use that sweet EL

hey guys, if my wrist is about 7", what is my range for watch sizes if i want to absolutely avoid that too-big look. i hate it, and i am in no place (literally, i live in kansas) to actually try some on.

pic related is perhaps my limit, larger if the lugs arent that big

40mm or lower if you want a watch that's comfy yet not too small.

Price and condition seem alright, and the 469 cal based movement is pretty reliable.

>>56876890
I've owned one for about a year and a half and sold it.

Though i might get around to buy another field watch off the SARG line since i would really love to have hacking and handwinding.

>>56881122
that's a small watch

fuck that looks terrible. Did you get that picture of leddit?

The 2-piece palma looks nice on the X-33.

Shame i was too late to get the 18mm gray on on the first batch.

>>56878841
Don't buy g-shocks on amazon. get them on ebay.
Normies buy them, put them on their wrists once, realise they are xbox big, and then sell them.
I got a mint condition GW-M5610-1ER for only £60.
It's not like it's the kind of watch you need to buy new anyway.

>>56882230
thats just a prototype
it's not in production yet

Is there a quality difference between watches made in japan and in malaysia?

>>56882874
only slight.
case finishing/polishing is usually a wee bit more crisp on the jap watches, and i'd guess they probably have tighter QC, so you're less likely to get a defective watch.

>>56882969
Ok. I hesitate between the snzg15 j1 and k1, I think I'll take the k1 since it's half the price.

>>56877481
>shorting battery with metal tweezers
REEEEEEE

Also only go for silver-oxide. Energizer, Sony and Renata are all good.

>>56877787
Enjoy your eventually water damaged watch.

>>56883186
I've owned the J1 in the past and saw a K1 in person, no difference what so ever.

The very minute difference in finishing is only seen on SKX007/009, but it seems somebody watches too much TGV.

It's definitely real. I have the original paperwork to go with it along with it as well as appraisal documents.

As for the guy saying the diamonds aren't set by Rolex. They actually are.
