For you Seiko experts, opinion on the 6R24 movement?

What's a fair price a watch that uses it?

>>57104700
The prices start from around 1.2K USD as far as i recall.

Though, besides being a 28.8K BPH version of the 6R15 with cluttered indicators, why would you want it?

>>57104700
>why would you want it

One of the pieces i was looking at has it.

But if it's basically an average movement then I don't feel like paying over $1.2k for it.

It's a modification of an already excellent movement, which on it's isn't the most uncommon nor is it vastly common movement.

Also, consider the following:

People pay as much for watches powered by the 2824 (&derivatives), while it's available in watches in the 300~400 range.

>Too many utilitarian same looking divers
The Visodates cool though. Btw do you consider your alpmaster to a wildcard watch?

Is Chrono24 a trustworthy place to buy from? How do you even go about it when there is no buy option in the product screen, only "Contact seller"?

The first seller I contacted was Italian and seems he simply ignored me entirely, absolutely no answer after 48h. Now I'm about to contact a Spanish seller for the same model of watch (Bambino V2), but the ad only has 1 picture and it's a stock one, not one he took himself. This is starting to look fishy.

Where else could I buy a decently priced Bambino that ships to South America with tracking & insurance for a sane price? Fucking Amazon asks for twice the watch's own price as a "tax deposit", absolutely unfeasible.

>>57105172

Do you dive?

>>57105819

I wouldn't exactly recommend the cocktail time. I does look great on paper, but the domed mineral crystal and sapphire exhibition caseback is a weird combo. Plus, it's strictly a dress watch.

You could get a Citizen Grand Classic like >>57104260

Excellent watch for the price with finishing that's close or on part to SDGM series. Miyota 90XX cal so it's also considered a highbeat. Also, the rotor looks really neat, Especially with the Phoenix emblem.

Oh, and you can never have enough Seiko's. I've had like 10 or 12 pass through my ownership.

great-grandfather's and great-uncle's pocketwatches. Nothing too special - one Columbus 1880s movement in a 14K Dueber case; one Hamilton 1920s movement in a silver Hamilton case.

Neat.

All i got is my Great-grandfathers K-43 Kirovskie >>57104122 (lower left), made in the ChChz factory in 1942. And had a bit of work done to it over time.

Which can be also be considered a (factory converted) pocket watch.

I've been looking to buy a Seiko. Would it be cheaper there than in the US?

>>57108682
Hong Kong is basically the West in close proximity to China. If anything it will be more expensive. Everything there is like NYC or London expensive.

I don't know how you guys can even stomach, much less like NATOs. They look horrible, and don't belong anywhere else besides a soldier's wrist, who actually wears them because of pure functionality.

The Seiko is quite thick and wears like a deck watch, more casual than it appears in pictures. The Nomos is a thin dress watch. The Nomos is more refined in every aspect, from the hands to the markings, to the movement decoration, to the way the case is built (much more "seamless" feel). However the Seiko has its own charm with the beautiful enamel dial. I'd say the Nomos but both are worth every penny I paid for. Might sell the Seiko in a few months, but still enjoying it for now.

>>57113033
English/Spanish daywheel.

The SKX never came with a kanji daywheel out of the factory.

>>57113050
So even nips have tea nigger/iberian nigger daywheel?

>>57113060
The SKX is more of an international model. Though it might also come with a English/frogmuncher dial, the Spanish one is more common.

If you want a Kanji datewheel you'd have to go for JDM models like the SARZ005 or the SARY057.

Presage SARY055 here. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another from the presage line. The finishing is beyond all reasonable expectations, and regulated to an accuracy of -0.5 s/d. This model is around $280 USD, the light sunburst is very nice on the dial. Don't know about the NATO I put on it, I was experimenting, but I don't think it looks bad. Opinions on the NATO anyone?

>>57115691
It's essentially a poor man's SARB. Put it on a perlon or leather if you don't like the bracelet, it looks bad on a nato.

>>57115787
I wouldn't say that, I consider both have their equal advantages, with only a $80 price difference. The SARB has the 6R movement, over the 4R in the SARY, but then again, they're similar base movements, just the 6R has an upgraded barrel and mainspring extending it's power reserve 20 hours. And the SARY has superior finishing on the case, a finely done brushed/polished combo, and they really went all out with the finishing. I've had the SARB, but wouldn't consider it better by any means. But the SARB clasp is much better. I specifically liked the blue dauphine hands and the chapter ring, the light sunburst was also part of the deal breaker for me. But I was kind of iffy with the grey NATO, I think it comes down to preference then at this point.

Oh right, now that I see that, I think I took the picture around 2am, I generally use the Kanji because it has a sense of authenticity, but yeah I think it was just in the middle of changing days, as it goes from Kanji to English around 1-2am, and around 230am it flicks back to Kanji

It is an Accurist Celestial, a rebrand of the Citizen Astrodea. Same movement also found in the Campanola Cosmosign. Quartz movement with dial that rotates in sidereal time. Comes in versions for 50 and 35 degrees N latitude - had to search forever to find a 35, as they're out of production.

The bottom left is a Seiko from 1990 with a 5S21 movement. 4Hz Quartz movement that uses a vial of liquid to damp the stepper motor, resulting in a completely smooth sweep second hand. Only made 1989-1991.

Got the SARB017 back from servicing (was running almost two minutes slow per day, now up around -1s). Surprisingly, the Seiko AD in Toronto honored the Japanese warranty, which was good since it meant that I did not have to fall back on Massdrop. That was nice of them. Unfortunately they are also completely fucking disorganized, so not only did they have the watch sitting on a shelf for two weeks before calling me, but they also had no record of what work was performed or what parts were replaced.

Accuracy with an unregulated an unadjusted 8L35 is going to be a matter of random luck of the draw, plus as the MM300 has a monobloc case, it's going to be impractical to have regulated between full services.

Look guys, I'll be honest.
I hate watches. Literally every watch posted in this thread just looks ugly imo. It comes to a level where it can be a turnoff for me if a girl is wearing watch, even if she is absolutely gorgeous. I don't know why, but that's just how it is for me.
Anyways, I came to realize that a watch could be very useful for me, and I want to buy one that is similar in appearence to pic related. Also, I'd rather it be either a mechanical watch or a kinetic/solar powered watch, not a battery powered one.
Any recommendations?

What are you looking for in a watch, what design aspects appeal to you, and how much are you looking to spend.

How much you spend doesn't only get you a more accurate movement, but a far superior finish and higher quality components and materials.

From your earlier post, we can't really discern what it is you want from your watch. You want one because you feel it will be useful to you, but you also want a minimalist design, which severely limits the usefulness of a watch.

>>57120780
I would like it have the same material aspects (appearence wise) as the watch posted, simple color scheme, for it to tell the time and nothing more. Basically, I want it to just werk.

Hey folks,
So as I spend more time here, and more time educating myself about watches, I have decided I really want to shift my collection to some high value pieces. By "high value" pieces, I mean giving little regard to Brand names, and more priority to actual features of the watch (i.e. good reputable movement, accuracy, sapphire glass).

Please share some expertise on which brands/models are recommended.
Ideally, I would love some "low priced" (lets say anything under 1500 USD) watches that share movements with higher end watches. I know certain luxury brands buy third party movements (i.e. ETA movements) and modify them, then put them in their luxury watches and charge an arm and a leg for them. Style wise, I'm completely open. Dress, Diver, Field etc. Lets make these recommendations as if cost was not an object... the main object is "VALUE". Recommend as many as come to mind. I'm the kind of guy who like to switch up watches daily, so I plan to buy a handful of them. I just want to stop wearing shitters.

Example, from my limited research, Stienharts appear to provide good value (movements, sapphire). But I don't know if their watches are built well or will last. Looking forward to hearing recommendations.

(NO quartz, I have a few Accutrons. Now I am specifically looking to purchase Automatics or mechanicals).

I feel as though I've had a good experience with sapphire in the past. I've bashed the face of the watch onto a iron patio chair and shockingly it didn't leave a mark on the watch, unlike the chair.
I remember being told at a jewelers shop when I was looking at a MOTM speedy that the Hesalite can only be buffed out once. The fact that it can only be cleaned up once kind of negates the benefit in my mind? But maybe I don't have the full picture.
Won't acrylic damage more easily?
Also again, I don't mind the glare of the sapphire... I kind of like it actually.

>>57125059
Why does everyone here hate them? Do they have a bad track record? Or do you guys just not like "homages"?
I do very much like the Sarb035 and was planning on getting one.

>>57125157

there's enough threads of them taking a shit for no reason with in a year on some of the bigger watch forums, shit lume, the design is 100% homage etc..

>>57125157
There's nothing wrong with Steinhart

>>57123466

Yeah I guess so

>>57125205
Appreciate the info, I will look into this. Thanks.

>>57125046
Stop shitposting, sapphire>mineral>acrylic

>>57125280
Reflections off of acrylic look much nicer, it is much more shatter resistant, and you can buff out scratches.

Seen the video. I don't necessarily agree with it. I'm not at the point in my life where I care to impress non watch people with my watch. I just want to build a high value collection that gives me gratification, not other people.

>>57125157
There's nothing wrong with Steinhart. They're great watches for the price. The only reason people (like 3 autists) shitpost them so hard is because another autist spams his Steinhart every thread.

That being said, for $1,500 you can do much better than Steinhart. You could get a beautiful slightly used high-end watch for that.

Is this a fucking? I feel like it's way too high but I need a new band and I'd prefer a deployment clasp

>>57125751
Ahh, I see (r.e stienharts)

And the $1500 is an approx roof per watch. I would spend more on a single watch if the added benefit is disproportionately high.

What would any anon deem the price of diminishing returns for watches?

For example folding knives:
When you hit the $250, you can pretty much get all of the top materials on the market from reputable brands.

>>57125909
The more you spend, the more you can get into novel materials and complications. Like silicon mechanical components, diamond instead of sapphire jewels, etc.

>>57125933
I don't know your knowledge base in watches, but I've been seeing your name in here for a few months. What are some high value watches (sapphire crystal, and reliable & accurate automatic or mechanical movement)?

>>57125984
Depends what you want. Vintage, or at least pre-owned can get you some pretty good value.

For new stuff:

Seiko 8R48 chronographs are pretty advanced and you can get them for under 2k. They have three vertical clutches, one for each chronograph hand.


Otherwise Tissot and Mido both make certified chronometer watches for around 1k.

Is their a site that tells you what kind of glass and movement it has in the watch?

>>57126062
The manufacturer's website, generally.

>>57126062
if the manufacturer doesn't tell you this information, don't buy a watch from them.

>>57126062
Yes.
The manufacturer site.

If you guys have any watches I should look at please let me know. I'm obviously not going to buy something without thorough research, but I think this is a good place to get initial ideas from.

>>57126536
SDGM001 or 003 to start with.

Otherwise, perhaps a used GS.

>>57126536
Don't be spending that much on watches until you know first hand what to be looking for and what details you personally appreciate. You say you already have a collection, sell and trade your way up slowly. It is a hobby after all. This thread is a shitty place for legitimate discussion though. Start elsewhere.

I'm 20 and a college student, is this watch okay for every day use? I usually wear streetwear, when I dress up and go out I don't wear it. I'm not trying to impress anybody just not look autistic.

>>57127544
SNK809 instead.

>>57127571
I don't want to spend that much for every day watch, I do want to spend a little more for a watch to wear on occasion, can you tell me where I can find >>57114102 ? I looked up "Vostok Komandirskie" on amazon but couldn't find this exact one, I really like it.

>>57127544
I'm guessing you're broke?
Then yes what you posted is comfy, functional and you never have to take it off if you're dorming.
You could also bump up 20 bucks and get an mdv106, 30 (or wait until black friday) and you can put it on a nice nato.

Komandirskies are found on eBay, you buy them directly from Russia. Model number should be 811306

Though i don't get something here.

The Komandirskie is a 30~35$ watch while the SNK809 usually goes 50$. So just skip a couple of instant noodle meals, won't be that harmful.

Also, SNK comes with a more or less decent strap from the start while for the Komandirskie you will have to spend shekels for a new strap.

>>57127637
I'm not broke, but when it comes to watches I want to either get the bare minimum functional watch that is not autistic, or I want to get something impressive like a good citizen or rolex, and I don't want to spend that much right now.

>>57127657
>that is not autistic
So you go for a black plastic quartz?

>>57127686
I feel like getting something metal would look out of place with street wear (sweatpants/basketball shorts and a t shirt) which is what I wear most of the time to my classes.

>>57127686
Literally nothing wrong with that Casio. Amazing beater and does its job damn well for 15 bucks

There's really nothing wrong with the default leather strap other than missing a fixed loop next to the buckle like most straps.

>>57127698
The Casio is fine, unique from the Gshocks most people go for.

>>57127656
Thanks for the advice, I still really like the 811306 a lot more than the snk809, thanks for telling me the model too, just bought a Komandirskie 811306 right now on ebay, just made ebay account to do this now lol

>here's really nothing wrong with the default leather strap

You seem to have not worn proper leathers strap yet haven't you?

Guess it's understandable, counting that most battery monkey's usually only have either cheap pleather/faux leather or rubber straps for sale. The Komadirskie strap, though made out of real leather, is known to be pretty awful and in reality it is.


>>57127817
Wonderful.

My only other advice is to order a different strap for it. Either a nylon nato or a decent leather strap.

>>57127890
I just have a question about winding watches, because I only have ever used automatic. Once I set the watch correctly and wind it, do I have to reset it every time I wind it? Or can I wind it while it's still powered from it's last wind without it interrupting the watch?

>>57127890
And what does a "proper" strap do different? This isn't about tin can bracelets, no, it's perfectly pliable and secure just as any.

>>57127908
You can wind it at any time, whether it's fully dead or still ticking.

I'd recommend winding it a couple of times per day too keep it running fine.

>>57127918
It's very roughly made strap to start with, but that somewhat add to the character of the Komandirskie.

A proper leather strap feels good on your wrist, doesn't feel like it out of place when on you wrist and adds to the overall appeal of the watch.

>>57127908
Automatic watches, as the name suggests, wind them selves automatically by way of a weighted rotor which, with the help of our friend gravity, tries it's very best to always stay pointed downwards, meaning that as your wrist moves, that rotor will try it's best to stay that way, winding the watch as it does.

Vostoks do have a handwind function, but it's not really needed. So long as you wear the watch, it will keep running, and will not need to be reset, save for maybe once a month, when you're taking a shit, and notice that your watch is a little out.

>>57127600
Meranom

>>57127966
Komandirskies aren't automatic friendo

>>57127952
It has "rough" edges, but so do lots of leather items. The stitching is straight and secure. It's just leather, not some roach on my arm, so it doesn't feel out of place. In fact, I don't feel it at all. This notion that it warrants immediate replacement is ill placed. Maybe it will wear out eventually, but so will most small leather items being eaten away by sweat and stress. Did you know that the Vostok-derived watches being supplied to Russian military forces use this same strap (but with a deployant clasp)?

>>57128000
Then ignore everything I just said until automatics are mentioned.

>>57128024
Even so, the Ratniks have a overhead nylon cuff band as well.

And i've seen that the people who bought the Civilian versions of the Ratnik have also swapped away leather strap. The (non-cosmetic) differences between the two is that it doesn't have nylon cuff strap and doesn't come with the AM shield installed. (But you can add it)

>>57128033
Automatic is literally the first word you typed. So we should ignore you entirely then?

>>57128079
Probably for the best.
