Depends on what style of watch you're looking for. A divers/sports watch, casual and or a dress watch.

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!

My first watch purchase. Boring quartz movement but very cheap. Really wanted to get an automatic/solar one, but couldn't justify the price or inaccuracy.

>>57055336
>>57055581
Also bought a black braided nylon strap for it like this guy. Will probably try to use a small flathead screwdriver to swap this leather one out given that I don't have a springbar tool.

>>>57050561

What's the model of the strap?

I def want one.

My almost brand new Citizen Promaster NY0040 just came in the mail and it feels a much more solid than the 10 year old one I sold a few days ago (bezel clicks, winding). This one has a much more subtle blue sunburst effect in the dial, which is not a bad thing. The older one was way to shiny. The stronger green lume looks great.

You could have bought a watch that wasn't garbage for the price of that piece of shit

Do any wristwatches with a 24 hour hand and a 15 minute hand exist?

I've found quite a few of those slow watches so far but they're not quite what I'm looking for

>>57056568
Great looking spaceview. I still very much want one but the thought of the service headaches required and the risk of someone fucking it up even more gives me significant pause.

(Reposting in new thread in case they missed it)

You are confusing the Seiko 4r35, based on the 7s26, with the 4s15 which is a modern update of the Seiko 52xx series from the 70s.
It is a 28,800 bph movement with a micro-adjuster for the regulation and is directly comparable in quality and inherent accuracy to an ETA 2892-A2.

>>57056109
In what way is it garbage? I like the way it looks and it functions perfectly. Also got it far far below its ordinary price via an Amazon special.

>>57057288
A. Stuhrling is cheap chink shit, your chronograph probably doesnt even have the proper hand function which then obviates the tachymeter.
B. You fell for an insidious marketing trick where the "regular" price is enormously inflated compared to its typical retail price in order to give the perception that you got a great deal.
A seiko SSB or SNDA chrono offers greater function and quality for probably the same rough price bracket.

>>57057438
Fair enough. So far the construction seems solid, though. And when I say I got a good deal, I mean relative to the realistic e-tail price, not the bullshit MSRP. It was $70AUD delivered. Like 50% off.

I was strongly considering a Seiko SKS519P2, but at twice the price I backed out. Kind of regretting it now for the looks, but I think I can turn my Stuhrling for a profit when the time comes for an upgrade. Pretty happy with it as a starter. Just spent a good fraction of what I paid for it on a new braided wristband , though.

Well it's a really particular design, you'll love it or hate it, it's ok.
I really like its 90s industrial design, and imo as classic as the SKX, which happens to be more known by the mainstream while being a more expensive watch with less features (handwinding and applied lume for example).

Would like to add that this model also has a pretty cool history behind, having been officially issued to the Italian Navy under the name of "Marina Militare" and it was also rated with a water depth resistance of 500m even though it's exactly the same watch as today (rated 200m by Citizen).
I think the SKX has never been issued to any military unit in the world, and is objectively a worse watch for professional diving due to its lack of hand winding.
In short: NY0040 > SKX007

>>57058334
I fully agree that the Citizen is the superior watch, IMO even better looking due and more readable due to the polished markers

>>57058254

But Shlomo, you already had a NY0040 back then, didn't you? Do you miss it?
I know it had a misaligned chapter ring, so that's quite a valid reason to having got rid of it, the one I had before had the same problem and triggered my mild level autism.

My 6R15 loses 10 seconds a day on my wrist, and gains 10 seconds a day 3 up or 9 up (in my bag at work). What the fuck. Will a regulation fix that? How much can I expect it to cost? How often do people get their automatics CLA'd anyways?

You're mistaken, I'm sitting in one of these. A square shitbox like this really doesn't compensate for anything.

Is it reasonable to expect an SNK809 (or the other color variants) to run for 4 to 5 years without any service?

Newfag about to buy either the 809 or 803 here.

Also, does extreme weather affect the movement and accuracy, I'm just curious since winter is coming

>>57058738
london pls

>>57058860
that seems reasonable. In a number to the seiko movement manuals I've looked at there have been temperature ratings. You should expect to have your accuracy altered a bit. Depending on how extreme your winters are you might even shy away from mechanicals altogether.

>>57058877
The fuck are you talking about?

>>57058769
Line gains 15s a day and it kinda pisses me off. I would regulate it myself like I've done with my other automatics but I've read on some thread on WUS that it's in fact a very delicate movement and you could fuck it up by trying to regulate it, for example by not hacking the movement beforehand, like happened to some guy.

As a rule of thumb, mechanical watches need a service every 5 years.
That being said, I've had my SNK803 for 5 years and I plan to just run it into the ground. I'll get a new one when it's too far out of whack. It's about +1m/day at the moment since I've banged it on so much shit.

I did, with a misaligned chapter ring, 9 year old movement that was on the servicing limit, and it was in need of a new crystal. Which i sold for a profit to so Malaysian guy.

A brand new one shipped should be in the vicinity of 210~230$, while a neo-turtle is 30 to 50$ more. My issue is that i'm unsure if i want to keep the SKX007 or sell it along with the super-oyster to fund one of these two.

The plans for now:
>sell the Dugena and get another vintage auto swiss watch (GP/RG)
>sell the two Poljot's to the WUS cucks
>Perhaps sell the SKX
>eventually to get a proper NY0040 and SRP777 with well aligned chapter rings.

Yup.

Ideally you'd need to to have some extra providence as well, which is achieved by selling cheap shit on f29. I got both the eBay account with 15 sales, and 25~ sales and purchases combined on WUS.

So i'm considered rather trustworthy :^)

Also, it's my second SKX and i'm on the verge of selling it. It's both perfectly aligned unlike the first one and running great, so i assume i could get about 230$ for it. Guess i'll put both it and the Dugena for sale tomorrow on f29.

What's the point of having a collection of watches that u don't wear? As I conceive it, you have ONE watch that u wear everyday and cherish and will pass down to ur child, or maybe 2 watches: casual and dress. Or 1 working and 1 being repaired (me).

But 10 watches sitting there doing nuthin and collecting dust?? What's the point?

This is a real question not à troll, I'm genuinely curious, and maybe in 10 years i'll have 20 watches.

The question is simple to answer.

Anon you have two watches that both can be considered as field watches, do you wear them both at the same time or do you rotate between them?

It's un-updated version. The 6206 and resin block are gone, while pic related is added.

The 3133 chronographs are pretty solid if you can find them in good shape, up to 48~50 hours of PR if the chronograph isn't running and as shockproof as they get. Mine fell crystal first on a tile and it was only slightly chipped, while the tile somehow cracked.

>>57061462
I'd happily get a brown suburst dial 5216 with a faced crystal as well.

Also, there is a white faced 7016 on eBay. Is it just me or does the dial seem too good to be true?

Assuming you mean the round one, the neon colors on the hands plus the CPU try of origin do lead me to raise a Spockian eyebrow.

To be honest, I am utterly convinced that there is no such animal as a blue sunburst 52xx. I have personally never seen one and I cannot locate them in the 1970-1975 Seiko catalogs either. I still want a sunburst LM Special though, but I need to clear out some room in my watch box. Maybe the KQ needs to go, real nice watch but haven't worn it in months.

I haven't been posting that much lately but I've been around.

I'm pretty sure there are a limited number of blue sunburst 52xx variants, as the Seikoholics threads about the LM Special contain a couple of variants, and Antique Watch Bar, which vets their watches, has listed a 5206-6020 that clearly has a blue sunburst dial.

They are rare, and many of the blue dialed LM Special models originally came with faceted crystals, but a small number do seem to exist. If I ever find a 5206-6020 with a blue dial in decent shape I'll take a serious run at it.

>>57064178

What exactly in his post suggested he was having any issue with accuracy?

By the way, the Seiko 52xx series movement is one of the best volume produced movements of all time for inherent accuracy, up there with the ETA 2892-A2, Omega 56x/75x, as well as the vintage Rolex 303x calibers (though those are much harder to regulate yourself due to a free spring balance).

All of these movements, in good condition, should easily be able to pass COSC testing.

>>57064346
The gaining 15s a day part. If you want out of the box accuracy from a mechanical watch you better off getting a Rolex or Omega. Most people don't regulate their own watches but hey if you do more power to you.

>>57064489

Am I blind? Where did the guy with the blue 5216 mention it was gaining time?

And if you at all care about accuracy, you should learn to regulate movements yourself. It isn't that hard to learn for non free spring balance movements, and it makes a world of difference.

Both of my Seiko 52xxs run under +2s/day (under +1s/day mostly, and with very little positional variation), my Lemania 5100 runs +5s/day (no micro adjuster), as do both my 6r15s (again, no micro adjuster).

The way I see it is that if accuracy doesn't matter then there is no point in paying for more than the cheapest Seiko or Orient with hacking.

>>57064178
How did you infer that I was having accuracy issues? This watch was doing about +2s until it got magnetized. A quick visit to the watchmaker and a free degausser sweep fixed that. I just happened to let it run down, and then it needed to be restarted.

>>57064568
To be fair, a lot of my Seikos can be made to run at +2 or so, but they suffer from drift. Only my 5216 seems to be consistently accurate.

>>57065812
You can use buyee to get shit off the Yahoo Auctions page. But as is typical with Yahoo Auctions, God help you if the watch isn't as described.

>>57067267
I cannot remember the exact model, but it uses an 0852 quartz movement. Really lovely, super accurate too (does about +5s per month since I last set it for daylight savings time) but I just have so many nice mechanicals (eg, Lord Marvel, 5216) that I never really have a chance to wear it.

There's more readable, but there isn't anything more resilient.

Though to be honest fampai, G-Shocks are over-engineered, and a basic Casio would be enough for pretty much everything, with the F-91W being used all around the world by people who've been through some shit being a testament to that. The only guarantee you have with a G-Shock is that it will survive what would kill you, when it may kill your average Casio. Now it all depends on whether you want some faggot stealing your watch the day you die a violent death.

Well, first of all it was a 5206-6120 on Antique Watch Bar, not a 6020! Even so, with Seikos the case model number doesn't necessarily describe the dial variation, as they have different product codes and the same dials can be used in multiple cases, or multiple dial options offered in the same case.

Haven't seen Shane lately as I've not been adding any more vintage pieces lately.

I have to say my Lemania 5100 has shown almost zero drift since it's last service. Been a pretty rock steady +5s/d since. I haven't tried to get it any closer because I hate regulating movements without a micro-adjuster, and I'd rather have +5 than -1s/d so I just leave this one as is.

>>57070478
>Seriously, it's a fucking gold mine they're sitting on
Is it?

They made it for 20 years. Many people who want one already have it.

Bought an SKX 10 years ago. Actually used it as a dive watch until one of the shitty endlinks came off underwater. Nearly lost the damn thing. Was in Guam at the time but found a place that "specialized" in Seiko and had it fixed. Came back with the incorrect endlink and gaining 2min a day. Threw it in a drawer and swore off Seiko. Never used it again. Kinda want to get it fixed now that it's discontinued. Does Seiko even service them anymore?

Sup, I'm looking to wear a watch again, just because smartphones are banned at workplace and I need the time very often.

The watch I want should have:

-> several daily alarms (for medication)
-> illumination if possible
-> can be digital or "analouge" I dont care for that
-> Current date

What would be cool

-> Changeable battery
-> Should be good built quality and be useable as daily driver and therefore robust too
-> Two Timezones

Since ima fat faggot, something a bit more chunky would be good as a tiny casio looks like shit on my arms.

I want to spent 0-100 Euro.

Any help appreciated much, im in much need for one!

Quickset is very likely not to be functional or will just die outright and the case is being that beat is far from a good sign.

To my eye it appears that the crystal was replaced to a generic domed acylirc, since it should have an early mineral (hardlex) crystal.

Fuck, I need to lrn2reading. I see the 6120 you're talking about... fucking gorgeous. I don't think I'd be in competition with you to get that one since I already have a blue dial Lord Matic, but I would like to pick up another 52xx at some point.

I have to make the trip to Toronto at some point because my 7018's power reserve has gone to shit. Time for a new mainspring I guess.

>>57072279
You really should not be blaming the watch for what the watchmaker did, but yes, the movement and the metal links in the SKX are both kind of shit. Watch itself is excellent, and with a 6R15 the thing is unbeatable.

>>57073053
Suwa Seikosha, 56x6 movement. Generally, the only 56 caliber movements you want are the ones with no day/date display, since that was the weak point in these things. Even then, it will usually only beat at 21600 bph, while the 52xx beats at 28800 (smoother seconds hand) and also has a much more robust day/date mechanism (the 5216 has one that is theoretically unbreakable). Unless you see a Suwa Lord Matic with a really, really fucking neat design, I would say you are better off with the Daini (5206, 5216, etc) ones.

Also as other people mentioned, it looks like that particular unit had a bunch of shit replaced, which is something you generally want to avoid in older watches.

>>57073333

Sorry to hear that gorgeous 7018 sounds like it's going to need some work. Beautiful watch, honestly. I'd be after one of those myself if I didn't already have a Lemania 5100.

If you are looking for another 52xx down the road, but aren't in a rush, I'd consider stalking Y! JP auctions for a while. I know the risk is higher than eBay bit with patience you can find the occasional real steal on there.

I haven't really been looking lately because I want to sell off a few of my modern watches first, so I've not really been letting my self keep much of an eye out for a blue dialed 52xx recently.

Also, Shane must be bewildered at all the vintage JDM Seikos he suddenly suddenly started seeing since they became a meme, given that half of /wt/ apparently lives in Southern Ontario.

>>57076665
Interestingly (not really) they're not from the same company, they weren't even made in the same city. Slava was made in Moscow while Raketa was made in Leningrad.

Also the Slava has a traditional IIII while the Raketa has a IV with is kinda weird for timepieces.

My dad is gonna give me his old Breitling Chronomat (exactly like pic related) as a gift when I graduate from university next April.
If I recall correctly, /wt/ is not exactly fond of Breitlings, but what do you think of this particular model?
I'd personally sell it to get a used Speedy instead but since it belonged to my dad it's gonna have a sentimental value and maybe I should keep it.

>>57078503
if you sell it to get a speedy your never getting any of your dads old watches again or probably anything else for that matter

It's there any digital watch with a decent face? even in 2016 casio uses that outdated calculator style display.

recommend any minimalist watches like OP for under $100?

Any thoughts on something like this? The low end feels reasonable but trying to fill out the high end is just impossible; feels like there's no unambiguous value.

>>57079122
And if you use my code TGV it will be sent on an ostrich ball skin leather strap in mismatching colour attached to it permanently so you cant attach a bracelet ever. Also the size of the watch will be 31mm so its not too big for any wrist (or mine)

F91-W is a meme, and is not good.
Seiko 5 is generally understood to be right around 50 bucks for the base stuff. I'd move it up a category and replace your less than symbols with approximate "~" symbols.

The best value g-shocks are the 40 dollar ones.

Miyota/Seiko driven kickstarter stuff may be interesting, but is not going to hold up to thinks like SAR* in terms of quality and value.

When you get into watches in the thousands I personally wouldn't include that in your guide, I mean really, if someone wants to spend 20k on a watch they shouldn't be reading a guide for it on 4chan.

Also modern fifty fathoms is rapper-tier huge and gross. Maybe if they release another, more reasonably sized, anniversary edition. Super lame.

>>57079197
>and is not good.

Hands down, its a meme. How is it not good though? It is function over form, and is $10 dollars.

I got the next model down from that watch: G5600E-1
Solar, but no atomic clock.

I have medium-large wrists, and it wants to ride up a little (twisted up on the wrist) because I'm on the 2nd to last hole on the band. I'm looking to get some bands (haven't decided between NATO and Zulu bands) I'm open to other suggestions tho.

Not necessarily, all of what he said is true

his wrongdoing lies in that he dismisses the F91-W as "not good"
what the fuck did he just fucking say? I just got back from navy seal school, I was top of my class

>>57079284
So, 10 bucks on amazon. 7 year battery life, one of the least water resistant watches they make, one of the least accurate modules they make.

How about LW201 for under 12 bucks, or W210 under 14.

So for a couple more bucks, you can potentially get something with 1/3rd reduced inaccuracy, more than 40% more battery, and substantially more water resistance (F91W splash resistant --> 5 BAR resistance on both of those.) A significantly better light and afterglow. How about instead of a chronograph that can't even count past 1 hour you get a full 24 hour chrono? The better module is also able to actually actively track dual time you can switch between without needing to adjust the actual time in the watch.

We're talking about a 2-4 extra bucks top for a watch that's pretty much head and shoulders better than F91W in every way. And it's going to even have a better feeling strap.

Because it really isn't very good. Yeah it's basically functional and really cheap but adding a relative small amount onto your budget will get you a much better watch.

>>57055336
Nice collection there anon, like all of them minus the quartz one.

I also like Orient ones.

Among premium ones, Omega. My father has one from my grandad which has never been serviced and it's form the '70

Spain can be really hot in summer as California, and my grandad carried it for many summers. Amazing it's still reasonably accurate.

What's a good watch for a med student trying to impress teachers (mostly 50 year old+ men)? That is, to look old-style, conservative - Basically, something they themselves would likely wear.

I was thinking about one of those fully metallic ones either gold plated or silver. Something classy, that preferably shouldn't exceed 300 USD.

>>57078503
Your dad is of gypsy origin. Sorry anon. He needs to be cleansed with fire.

>>57080432
If these guys like watches, a vintage watch from a respected watchmaker.

If theses guys don't know about watches, any such bullshit that you thinks look nice they may agree with.

>>57079649
Your hand looks like an ostrich dick. A gay, albino ostrich dick. It makes me projectile vomit just looking at it. You should NEVER expect a girl to let you finger her with that abomination of a limb. Best to chop it off now.

>>57080480
Would you be kind enough to cite some examples? My knowledge regarding watches is quite frankly nearly nonexistent.

I'm not sure if they are actually knowledgeable about watches, but I assume they'd know the big names (all of which I assume are entirely outside of my budget's scope, though).

>>57080514
>but I assume they'd know the big names
Why would you assume that. Do you even know the big names?

Without googling?

>>57080583
Patek Philippe, Rolex, Omega, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin... off the top of my head. Then the more accessible ones like Seiko and Orient, and the ones that have brand strength but might not be actually good like Bvlgari and Armani. Would have to google or think harder to remember more.

I'd think most people would at least have heard of half of those brands.

>>57080206
tengo horarios de sueño cambiados ;=)

>>57080514
Not the anon you quoted.

But for around $300 I'd try to get some second hand Omega from Chrono24:

It has 74 around that price now:
http://www.chrono24.com/en/search/index.htm?dosearch=true&manufacturerIds=187&maxAgeInDays=0&priceFrom=0&priceTo=300&redirectToSearchIndex=true


Though I don't like second hand watches, I'd get some Orient. It has some vintage looking watches around that price range.

Movement is made in Japan, unlike the Seikos sold in the west.

good luck.

>>57080639
>I'd think most people would at least have heard of half of those brands.
Most people would have heard of Rolex and Seiko. Omega if they pay attention to their branding all over James Bond and the olympics.

Doubt PP or VC. Or even Breguet.

Also, Armani doesn't make watches, chinese factories make watches and brand some of them with Armani logos.

You can probably pick up a vintage Omega for your sub 300 dollar price tag. It's probably going to be either beat to shit or refinished.

>>57080677
Gracias, amigo. I'll avoid the Seikos in that case.

>>57080678
Seems like you both had the same idea. I'll check the vintage Omega and maybe a new Orient.

>Armani doesn't make watches, chinese factories make watches and brand some of them with Armani logos.
Figured something of the sort would be happening, though I expected them to at least use Japanese machinery. I imagine Bvlgari, Louis Vuitton and such do the same.

>>57080754
Bulgari actually has some real watches

>>57080754
>Bvlgari
Of the three companies, they've done the most with respectable watchmaking. They've even made minute repeaters -- ultra thin minute repeaters.

>Louis Vuitton
They've formed some partnerships and taken advantage of the other watchmakers under the LVMH conglomerate. But besides a few, very expensive, pieces most of it is very overpriced and gaudy with giant LV plates on the watch case and whatnot.

Armani is different, it's 30 dollar watches sold for 300.

you won't get 10 years of battery life with something much more complex than a 6 segment display.
Check out the SDGA001 though.
