The difference is that one is more tightly supervised, enough to be considered to be "Made in Japan".

Even though the laws on it are rather nonrestrictive.

Should be relatively easy for a noob like me to put a leather strap on it or some natos?

Reddit memes this watch to death but they're a bunch of autists anyway.

>>56883854

But yes, it's a fine watch. Very well suited as a daily beater on a low budget.

Also, pic related for said Orient GMT. I'd love to invest in decent chronograph as well, but for the next two years or so beaters is all i can wear.

They use Vostok movements that are better regulate and less prone to QC issues in interesting designs that are either modern, vintage esque or fashion tier with "historical" names.

Also they use Seiko movements, particularly being the first to use the SII NE88 movement.

In Euroland, they are 250€+ on Amazon.
Currently in Canada, where they are a tad cheaper, but I dont have an adress here, so I would need to get it at a brick and mortar shop.

Anyone happen to know some good shops in Vancouver?

Looks wise, I'm interested in SRP315, SRP581K1 and SRP311J1

>>56888601
As much as I like looking at it, they screwed up the steppings. Or rather: It would really grind my oats if I were to spend a few thousand bucks on it.

I mean the fact that Berlin sits at the 0:30 mark but is in fact 1 hour ahead of London. They didn't screw up, but the radial distance on the watch doesn't mesh with the difference in timezone.

>>56890785
>Was poorer quality
No it was not. Don't get your facts for YT and documentarist television. The Soviets were way ahead of the Germans in metallurgy, mostly because of the American technological boost they got in the 30's. They could mass produce cast armor, superior electroslag welding allowed use of heavily sloped armor, superior diesel engines (the Germans never got diesel to work on anything armored), superior tank suspensions, not to mention higher production runs of almost everything.

TL;DR: Soviet steel was better than anything the germans could come up with. The Germans had the advantage in radios and optics.

I'll spell it out for you
It's a very specific movement
An independent without schematics WILL fuck something up, and then your Seiko service will go from 300 to 600+
That's assuming he can even get to the fucking movement anyway
You don't know anything, stop regurgitating /wt/ memes without understanding them you dumb fuck.

Seiko's lume compound isn't as good as luminova on its own, but when piled up really high like that it shines like a torch.

Steinharts making a chrono thats a speedmaster/daytona homage.

Do you think it will be an OVM succes story?

>>56892848
Depends.
New Daytona, or classic?

The dome looks fairly solid, bracelet seems similar if not identical in construction to the OVM, so that's solid in itself.

Though, frankly, it all looks to sit a bit high, if they managed to slim it down a little, so the tach ring sat flush with the case top, and the dome was shallower, sitting flush with the tach ring again, then I think we'd see some success.

What makes grand siekos not as respectable as other swiss luxury watches? Is it just because of the baggage/ lack of prestige that the brand has?

They seems like solid watches desu.

Do they make mechanical women's watches? Specifically the tiny ones. Wouldn't it be difficult to scale down a movement to that size?

are Tissot worth it?

>>56900077
Not really, at least I don't like them.

They're so tasteless these days, and it begins with the logo on every watch. The ugly font, and contemporary styling, combined with the year of Tissot's founding.

Tissot didn't used to put "1853" on every watch, in fact they put it on ZERO watches until recently. It's inclusion is not an aged Tissot tradition, and hence runs entirely counter to what it tries to imply.

And on the styling front, let's take the watch you posted as an illustration of just how small the imagination of the designers must be. What in fuck's name do those grey, textured shapes adorning 48 of the 60 minute indices do? Why on Earth are they there?

Modern Tissot, in my opinion, is a disaster. They made very few watches worth considering.

>>56900077
They're fine if you want a relatively cheap, and actual 'swiss made' watch.

Not exatly I guess, the older Tudors were actually made by rolex except the movement. Newer ones have the same quality as Rolex ones but dont think they are made at the same plant if I remember correctly, but Tudor also now has inhouse movements so the prestige in WiS circles should be the same since Tudor movements are high quality (but fat)

You hit the nail on the head. They're just as good as any other high end luxury watch for the most part. Amazing craftsmanship and quality. Only downsides are IMO it carries the Seiko name and most of their designs are dull (totally subjective obviously)

>>56900800
They heavily modify the 7750, so its cool until you need to service it.
Also the only unique chrono they make is their pulsometer.

These are IMO sound design principles that watch designers should pay more attention to. And that means readability both during the day as well as during the night. For instance I know of no watches that are lumed to make date readable in darkness.

Photo-lithographically defined and dry etched refractory parts should have been standard by now about would eliminate much of the re-balancing and magnetism issues. The technology is about 40 years old.

Is sturhling worth buying?
Thinking of buying pic related

Most people bring in fakes they found somewhere, hoping they struck a goldmine. On the street, fleamarket, dead relatives watch drawer, that sort of thing.

you can just say «basically a rolex» and be at least half correct

>>56905489
Pretty much. For non-watch people the Rolex coronet is what defines a Rolex.

I did see a sub yesterday. A guy got on my traincar and I spotted it the moment he got on

Only real problem is after midnight when the display in the apertures change over. Many possibilities:
- uncover also tomorrows fields to allow for recharge
- cover in something that only passes blue/UV to charge lume - more complicated but far tidier
- illuminate with tritium, for illumination and/or charging lume.

I had people coming into the sotre I worked at with fake watches all the time. Still they bought expensive shit at the store, but nothing in luxury watch range though. Loled my ass off since they were real shitty knock offs that I would expect nobody would assume is real. Guess nonwatch people are that retarded, but what it really is, nobody gives a shit about a watch.

The truth is once it's got normal wear it becomes harder to tell a real and a fake apart. A few weeks ago a 90's Submariner came in for service and my watchmaker sensei wrote it up as a rep (we do this by default though, every Rolex, Omega, TAG, Breitling, etc. that comes in is automatically considered a rep unless proven otherwise), only after opening it did it turn out to be genuine. Only by being a bit worn, with hairline scratches from regular wear it fooled us. So I don't see the how the opposite can't happen either, a really old rep being mistaken as a genuine vintage piece at first.

Pretty sure my guy was real, he had an American archieluxury look to him

>>56902391
what brand is it kek

>>56905111
The Black Bay looks better as an every day watch in my opinion. If you want to brag about dive watch features than get the Planet Ocean.

Would you buy a $2500 luxury watch off jomashop if the price is twice as much at an AD?

>>56905971
depends on the brand, what it is?

>>56905655
That's awful

>>56905971
I've spent close to $20k at jomashop without any problems.

>>56904950
Where? I don't see it.

>>56906021
I'm on the fence about which one to buy exactly but probably an omega

Why would anyone make a watch that size, why would they design that, does it have a secret compartment?

>>56906091
Dont buy any co-axial movements or you will support the mountainjews incompetence (and need maintenance work every 1 or 2 years)

The fuck am I doing wrong? Is this some sort of conspiracy?

>>56906251
wtf is this, this is SFW board

>>56906281
Those auctions are posted by, and bid on, by steinhart to create interest in their watches

>>56906278
Is it that bad? I've seen other people say that it's basically the only advancement that the Swiss have made in watchmaking in the last 50 years.

>>56906251
The Valjoux 7750 is a kinda thick movement, I guess they didn't care about making the case appear smaller, and just gave it straight, tall sides.

Also is that real or from a movie?

One that can afford to buy you and your family as livestock, not even slaves.

It's not an advancement since it is highly unrelaible and requires very regular service, this is what the mountain jews want you to believe. It has to do with that the watch movement requires extremely precise oiling or it will fail, no regular watchmaker can service an co-axial
