Finally sold the SKX, and now like a crack addict i'm thinking of what to buy next.

Also, considering getting a Marinemaster waffle strap for my SRP307.

Why'd you sell the SKX?

>>57130947
It felt bland and out of touch.

I own a 2nd Gen Monster that has the 4R36 movement, and having a watch without handwinding is becoming an issue, since i cannot take too many watches with me. Also, it seems that every mechanical watch i keep is either a handwound watch or an auto that can also do so.

Plus, it's the second SKX i've ever owned which i'm selling for the exact same reason as the last one. I'd rather have something like a NY0040 or a SRP777. Since both of them have more character.

Finding this exact one could be very difficult if not impossible since it is a vintage watch (Lord Matic Special) made sometime in 1974. But there are many like it and they do not cost too much. MAKE SURE you get the "Special" if you are going to buy one, also be sure to get it serviced.

>>57131772
Blue is pretty great, the 5216 is probably my favourite watch, but I also like green. Which is why I own a SARB017.

>>57132357
I'm really tempted, the blue is up for auction and the green is for sale outright. And since the auction ends in 5am in i could miss both, that being said assuming i'll put too little into sniping it.

Basically put, either i go safe or i gamble.

hello /watch/men, I would like to get my babby's first watch.

I looked at some Vostok Amphibias and Komandirskies, but I don't like the wacky graphics they print on the dials. Seikos are horribly overpriced around where I live.

I would love to get some recommendations - nothing too flashy looking, my budget is <$200, my wrist is 7cm wide.

Scuba dude dials like the 059 and 634 are the most popular and there are other non flashy ones. (Middle and right)

>>57133756
Out of recently one was a bracelet extension, another one was a crystal replacement, and there was a 7009 service a while ago, the rest I don't remember. I always have to recommend a full service, but customers rarely take it. Usually it goes like this:
>Hello, I'd like to regulate my watch, I had it for eight years and it's been running great but lately it's been losing 3 minutes a day.
>This is a pretty nice Seiko 5 sir, when was the last time it was serviced?
>Serviced?
And that's when for some reason they decide to walk away with their $60 watch and have it run till it falls apart since a $40 complete service is somehow "not worth it".

I swear normie "logic" makes my blood boil.

>>57133953

Its true though, for a 60 dollar watch it really isn't worth it.

That shark mesh looks glorious on the amphibia, but please, please, don't put leather straps on divers, it's tacky and out of place, like putting an F1 spoiler to a 90's corolla, maybe you think it make them look "classier", but it's the opposite.

I know that diver watches have actually transcended from being tough tool watches into being considered a little more dressy nowadays, but putting leather straps on them makes them feel mangled.

Anything else besides lether is ok as a diver strap: Resin, Nato, Zulu, Perlon, milanese mesh, President, Oyster, Engineer bracelets, etc.

Leather in a diver watch is a huge no-no.

Would you wear oxford shoes with an adidas tracksuit? You can for sure, but you'll look like someone cosplaying as a lame ironic slavic GTA IV character.

Some could claim that Panerai gets away with it, but nowadays nobody dives with a Panerai at the wrist, not even the douchiests.

>>57138062
I just don't think inhouse necessarily means it should add kilobucks to the price. Especially when seiko (and some other companies I'm forgetting) can give you an inhouse movement for dirt cheap.

You mean time mesuring accuracy?
For mechanicals, get a swiss one.
For Quartz, get either a high Hz quartz, or termoregulated.
You can get an Atomic radio clock regulated too.

But Nowadays, the prefered thing about wrist watches is appreciation of it's horological and artisanal qualities tho. For affordables it's aesthetics and quality even if mass-made. A wristwatch is a tool but also an accesory.

A $3 quartz bobsponge watch is way more accurate than any high end swiss mechanical tho. So that's it, priorities for wristwatches had changed lots since the quartz tsunami.

>>57137871
How long would the movement last?
How much of a hazzle would the movement be in the long term?
Honest question, no trollan, I'd love to get an sterile dial out of a good rep. (Yes, I'm a fucking saint boy scout)

>>57138350
>sterile dial

sounds like you might want a "homage"

It depends on the movement. They generally can use anywhere from shit chinese movements, to great chinese movements, to exact copies of swiss movements made in china.

>>57138560
Rodina
Bruno Soehnle
Fake Daniel Wellington

>>57138560
For cheapos yet good, Timex has some bauhaus-like. Other quartzs: Komono

Rodina has good reputation for the price, besides being a chinese mechanical.

Others would say that Daniel Wellington, or Nixon, Skagen, but the word is they are made in china and sold as not. The QC is higher from the average chinese quartz, so caveat emptor.

Other that I don't really know how good they are, just suspecting they are good from what I read: tsovet, braun, uniform wares, mondaine.

OH, I remember, Bulova has some bauhaus-like also!!!

>>57138454
I have never purchased one myself, just been tempted, but there are a few 'brands' you can find. You could probably look around on wus, ebay, google, etc. and find something. Look into the movement they are using and the materials. Apparently some come with very nice bracelets and sapphire crystal, though others claim to be sapphire while actually mineral.

>>57138655
I'm not sure how valid their claims are, but apparently sea-gull sells a higher quality Rodina or something than the good-stuffs site.

>>57138655
Mondaine is good though a little off Nomos aesthetic. Braun is fine.

>>57138704
Yes, that's the word arround, and seagull has an online USA store.

I don't think that they are derivatives of the 754X movement. Also, they don't seem to have a whole lot of English language material about them.

When it comes, pop the back open and we'll see how similar it is to either the 754X or the 7NXX series.

I paid about $104 USD for the watch, and then $150 CAD to have it overhauled at the /wt/ Toronto Watch Guru dude (he also does mail-in if you cannot find someone local to service your vintage Seiko). Mine was in really rough shape when I got it, crystal was smashed and had to be replaced, but I bought it for dat dial. Less flashy colours can usually be had for roughly the same price, sometimes as low as $80. The Lord Matic name has zero recognition or prestige, but the 52 caliber movements are among the best ever made. It's amazing what they are capable of when serviced.

>>57142331
>no penis on the dial

Will never achieve meme status, but my guess is there are some similarities with the Type II movements. Is it a jeweled movement?

>>57142708
Oh God yes, do it. Subs are horribly common and have sort of become the default Bay Street (or Wall Street) douchebag watches, and two tone subs make you look like even more of a douche. Milgauss is cool. And you will never need to worry about getting a degausser for it.

>>57142750
When I was in university smartwatches were not yet a thing, but when I wrote my professional accountant exams, they banned all watches. EVERYTHING. I came to the exam with a Komandirskie and they forced me to take it off. I imagine universities will be doing the same thing before long.

Also, as someone who proctered exams, I can see you little cunts and I know when you're cheating. Whether it's a girl with IFRS tricks stuffed in her boobs or some manlet with an Apple Watch, we can see you. And whether or not you get caught will just depend on how cruel we're feeling that day.

Second kind of cool I guess. The "practical" watches I got first are still functioning great, I just have a greater appreciation for nicer and more intricate things.

>>57143692

Being interesting.

Mechanical movements are fascinating feats of miniature mechanical engineering.

Just try and think about how much skill it takes to design and build a spring powered mechanical device that can keep time, be wound automatically by movement, resist shocks, and remain 99.99% accurate (+/- 5s/d) without a so how transistor or outside signal.

Then contemplate that multiple watch makers had figured out how to volume produce such mechanical marvels by the thousands by the 1970s.

Honestly the mechanical watch mechanism is one of the greatest feats of mechanical engineering ever achieved by mankind, and here you are wondering why some of us still find them fascinating while you stare at some boring but practical G-Shock.

Why do people like vintage cars? 1911 handguns? Because some of us appreciate what went into making them.

Orient wasn't yet a Seiko subsidiary when that watch was made, was it? Is that actually related to the Seikos or just a rip off? Pretty much everything about that watch looks just like my Type II.

yeah I saw that people mod them to look like fifty fathoms, but the bazel really reminded me of a submariner, to me it looks like a combination of a submariner's bazel and a fifty fathoms

>>57144922
I still love this Type II. Fuck, why can nobody bring back this 70s look? And why do modern watches need to be so fucking huge? Even my girlfriend, who doesn't know shit about watches, has commented that the older 36mm and 38mm pieces look more "proportional" and "tasteful". Did I just get lucky, or is there a fundamental disconnect between how girls think of modern men's watches and how men thin of them?

>>57146734
Yeah it fucking sucks. We have a family friend who wrote the LSAT in the 1980s, the guy brought two watches to that (a quartz which has been lost to time and a mechanical Seiko diver that he still has). Nowadays, good luck getting even one in.

Blame Smart Watches.

Likely cheaper, since all it needs is to get the calendar fixed. Guess that's an incentive for him to work on it, since he knows that he has customers looking for these.

Also, there is a (slightly darker) brown dialed Type II on eBay right now. I considered it but i ended up getting the green Cosmotron.

>>57147031

I think it's more like he tries to limit the volume of work he takes. I'm quite sure that if he wanted to be busier, he easily could be.

There is a dude in Port Credit with a retail storefront who has a several month long waiting list for watch services who literally started fucking ducking publicity because he already has too much work.

I think Shane wants to avoid ending up drowning in work like that dude.

On newer and more efficient batteries you can get 18 months, older batteries did 12 months.

Though, when you pull out the crown you also disconnect battery power. So if you do not intend to wear it for a week it might not be a bad idea.

Not true. I was on Canal St Ny Ny and some chink asked if I wanted a watch, and I asked if he had Rolexs. He had me follow him for a few blocks while he made a phone call and made some hand signals to some woman chink across the street at a fruit stand. Eventually some other chinker rode up on a bike and handed my chink a brown paper bag. He showed me the watch and asked for $150. I said $20 and he said no. Then I said "Ok thanks anyways (and walked away)". I ended up getting it for $32. See pic related (2 pics)

Yeah but to 99% of people, they would never notice. Obviously to genuine watch people it's not real. However, when people buy fakes, they do not have the intention to impress and swindle "watch aficionados", it's more to get girls or impress a boss at work (both of which wouldn't have a clue).

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.

This is the Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope. It's an automatic movement with a 7750 inside. Or a flavor of it.

The strap feels cheap and probably won't last me more than a few months at most. But the watch itself is nice.

As far as I know, it wasn't his wish to be buried with the watch. It just happened to be his everyday carry and those involved in planning the funeral are more clueless about watches than I am, so I don't think they realize that it may possibly be worth more than a car.

Can anybody recommend a watch to wear as every day college student? I usually wear street wear, so wearing a dress watch wouldn't make sense.. I'm thinking something with a resin/rubber band because leather or metal would look out of place with street wear.

There's a million Datejust dials, you just have to pick which one you like. I'd say the only rule is don't get a two-tone, although I've seen people wearing them and even they don't look too bad.

That's even worse if your looking into a Datejust II. I'd look at new models if only for the easy link extension in the bracelet. Although the Oyster Perpetuals don't have it, which is a dick move from Rolex.

What is the most accurate, robust and shock-resistant seiko movement? The 6R?

What about affordable movements in general?

>>57157664
Depends on the price range really.

But in terms of bang for buck you'd be hard pressed to beat the 6R15 on the SAR models.

>>57157664
9F is 5-10 seconds per year depending on the version, has a 50 year service interval, and being quartz is far more shock resistant than any mechanical although obviously not as much as a digital. Relatively affordable too, at least in terms of other >$1000 watches.

>>57157664
Vintage digital of course. But if you mean mechanical, currently everything below the Marinemaster and GS line uses a 7S-derivative movement, so robustness is generally the same.

When it comes to accuracy I believe it's 7Sxx<4R3x<6R1x.

Archie always rant about shitters all the time.

His definition is simple: a a shitter is a cheap watch.

I believe he's wrong, and there are a lot of good cheap watches. So his definition is bollocks.

What constitutes, a shitter in your opinion, /wt/?

>>57158072
Literally any watch that is unserviced vintage or brand new mechanical under 50$ msrp. Thats a shitter. Or any kickstarter watch. Or any swissmade quartz one. Fuck do I know, so many watches are shitters nowadays anyway. Watch industry is gonna implode soon.

Assuming you mean mechanical movements, the Grand Seiko movements and the new out of production in Seikos 4s15 (and its 52xx predecessor) would typically be much more accurate than the 6r, 4r or 7s movements.

In general, more high end movements tend to have better shock resistance as well, but I can't find any sources confirming that the 9s and 4s have notably better shock resistance than a 6r would.

It's already well known that the 7s and 4r are not very good in terms of shock resistance.

>>57158854
Thanks.

Yeah I meant mechanical movements.

>It's already well known that the 7s and 4r are not very good in terms of shock resistance.

You betcha! I'm really disappointed by my 7s Seiko.

I've personally never been impressed with Hirsch. I find that RIOS puts out a better product for less money.

>>57153728
The 7S26 is not rugged. It's really kind of a piece of shit. The hand-winding Vostoks are more along the lines of your "rugged, impossible to kill" watches.

>>57154320
I wore a moderately "dressy" Seiko 5 as a university student, and it never really looked out of place with street wear. You would be perfectly OK with a SARB033, although you might fret about scratching it. A SARG007 or SARG005 may be worthwhile to you as well, since they have the same 6R15 movement.

If you want something you can beat the hell out of and not worry about, Vostok Amphibia.

>>57157777
Interestingly, all those movements are derived from the 7000 series produced by Daini. With the exception of the 6R they are also all worse than the 7000 series.

>>57158854
I want to do a 4S15 swap in muh SARB. How can I go about doing this and why is the 4S so fucking impossible to find?

Could someone recommend me a very "ticky" watch?

>The 7S26 is not rugged. It's really kind of a piece of shit
It's nice, simple and cheap workhouse movement based on a very reliable design. It's true that the Vostok 24XX cal is much more rugged and shockproof but you shouldn't diss on the 7S26's longevity and reliability.

>With the exception of the 6R they are also all worse than the 7000 series.
Mostly the B and C types, because of the new troublesome balances. The A type movements from the 7SXX/4R/6R families were more similar and equally robust as the earlier 7002/7005/7009 movements.

>I want to do a 4S15 swap in muh SARB
So swapping a 7XXX series based movement to a movement that's completely different, which has a different stem, accepts different diameter hands, different dial and day/date alignment and is hard to find?

It's easier to just find a 5216 (Or 5206) LM special and service it instead of trying to nigger rig a 4S15 into a SARB, since the 4S15 is a remake of the 5216.

>I find that RIOS puts out a better product for less money.
I'm surprised to know there is another RIOS fan besides me on /wt/

>>57149898
I can't deny it's rather ugly.

But for a 74 year old converted pocket watch, it has it's own allure and history.

>>57160443
timex weekender/easy reader/expedition (time only, not chrono)

What watch would you recommend for someone who wants a good watch is willing to spend about 500 usd but most metals make your wrist sweat beyond belief?

>>57160609
What about combined with a transparent face and ticky?

>>57160685
>transparent face
As far as style goes, you mean the Accutron II Spaceview remake?

>>57160735
YES
I love being able to see the gears move and such. Would you know if Accutron II Spaceview ticks?

>>57160775
Perfectly smooth sweep, zero ticking.

Different anon though, and i'm not quite sure i get what you meant by "ticky"

>>57160803
Like the timex brand where u can hear the ticking sounds per second. Thanks for the suggestions tho

>>57160803
It does tick, just incredibly quickly. If you want an actual smooth sweep you need a spring drive

>>57160803
It ticks still but at 360 times a second it's going to be pretty hard to tell.

>>57160843
Timex would be okay for that.

I wouldn't recommend it as it's basically made in the Mexico of Asia, instead of in China.

A Seiko 5 with a display caseback is a pretty neat option, despite being a 6bph instead of the annoying Timex ticking.

>>57160845
>>57160854
Should have mentioned, to the naked eye. Obviously the GS is far superior in that aspect and also vastly more expensive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sev6iSvb1uM

>>57160897
I currently own a Timex and love hearing the tick. I have been looking for a transparent face plus the ticking. I'm considering the Accutron II now tho.

>>57160612
Don't wear it so tight. It should be able to move up and down your wrist.

>>57161108
It can and does.

>>57160612
Perlon, Nato/Zulu straps and or just nylon in general. Could also use a leather nato strap.

Otherwise, plenty of watches to fit that bill. Guess you could get something from the Seiko SAR series (SARB/SARX/SARY/SARZ etc).

>>57161129
Then any sweat forming under the bracelet should easily be dealt with by evaporating when you move it.

Unless your entire wrist is sweating all over then you're fucked.

>>57160395
>>57160549

Surprisingly, it seems that you may be able to put a 6r15 dial on a 4s15 movement, and the hands are known for sure to swap, so doing a 4s15 swap for a 6r15 is apparently possible, though it won't be easy, or cheap.

I suggest searching for "4s15" "6r15" "swap" and looking into the matter yourself.

Of course, the problem is that finding a donor 4s15 is going to cost so much that you won't be able to justify pulling the movement out of the donor watch unless you get extremely lucky and drink a fucked watch with a good movement and snag it for cheap.

Not that I keep an eye out for such an opportunity to swap a 4s15 into my Brightz SDGM003 or anything...

>>57161259
Buy that 90 dollar invicta and gut the movement

>>57161259
>https://m.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/3vudoy/wts_seiko_alpinist_4s15_movements_4s15_sports_200/

Huh.

Upon further reading, assuming you can create a proper spacer it is somewhat possible since the hands are interchangeable and the dials fit the 4S15 movement. It'll be quite a monetary commitment though, but if you want to create the ultimate SDGM003 it's worth a shot. I'm not exactly sure if the stems are compatible though.

Perhaps try to use a 3D printer to create a plastic spacer?

>>57161277

Are you perhaps mixing up the 4r35 with the 4s15? They are totally unrelated movements, and I can assure no Invicta has ever had a 4s15...

>>57161537

The issue is finding a donor cheap enough to justify pulling the 4s15 out of it more so than the other issues, which I believe are surmountable.

>>57161905
Counting that Seiko fanatics grab them for almost any reasonable yet slightly high price as soon as they appear on the market? I wouldn't count on it.

So basically, your plan is a bust unless a very decently priced 4S15 is found on the open mar

>>57162070
>open market

Though the chances for that happening are next to nill.

>>57162070
>>57161905
When I go on my trip to Japan next year, I'm going to bring back a suitcase full of watches. At least one or two will be a 4S15.

>>57130894
do you still need to get special adapters for G-Shock to use a replacement band?
