/wt/ watch thread

Someone talk to me about servicing. Will any jewlers service any watch? Is it even worth servicing a vostok amphibia?

You can buy a new movement and replace it yourself for much cheaper than what you'll be charged for a service. That is, unless you live in Ukraine or Russia.

Its a pretty cool case, and it definitely sounds like a neat project, but unfortunately I don't know if I'll be able to be of much help. I don't know movement dimensions off the top of my head, but my advice would be to find a bunch of movements that fit the general size and then start looking at specific things like the distance between the stem and the dial. You're gonna have the find something pretty specific, and then you'll still most likely have to make some kind of movement ring. It won't be easy, but you can make something really cool.

i have some """vintage""" soviet raketas, and i got curious about what their modern lineup looks like. is it bad that i really like this? the price is ridiculous though.

How do I test brand new diver watches for water resistance, so that I can return ones that fail the test?

Also, is it good practice to coat rubber gaskets with silicone lube on non-diver watches that have lower water resistance ratings, for a bit of extra protection against water intrusion?

>What's the difference between the square Amphibias like this and completely round ones?

The only difference is the case shape, the cushion style one aka case 710 aka "ministry case" is a bit bigger and a bit heavier than the round 420 case.
The dial size is the same though.

Unfortunately this.

They also have nothing to offer in the US$1,500 to 3,000 range to compete with Tudor, Nomos etc.

>>57396721
Do you prefer the 710? Personally I think it looks god-awful, but I guess it might add to the sturdy look? Or is there a difference in practicality too?

>>57396893
Most knowers will agree on the 710 being the best case, since it's one of the less boring ones and has that 70's look to it.
Maybe you just don't like it's vintage look or you are just a normie who wants to replace his old Fossil watch.
Cushion cases are very aesthetic.

keep the watch until you can afford to repair it.
cheap quartz movements usually aren't powerful enough to move heavy hands (which is why a lot of quartz fashion watches have tiny hands on huge dials).

What does that have to do with anything?

Bottom line, if you're buying watches based on what other people want to see you wearing, rather than what you want to see you wearing, you're a cuck.

>>57398904
>Bottom line, if you're buying watches based on what other people want to see you wearing, rather than what you want to see you wearing, you're a cuck.

Yeah this is pretty accurate. Unless for some reason your place of work BANS you from wearing a certain watch which I cannot for the life of me see happening unless it is a sanitary concern (food service), wear what you want because you like it and you can appreaciate a solid time piece. Just yesterday someone I knew bought a fossil because he wanted others to think he was cool. Ultimate cuck mode

Explain, why are those brands are better than Hamilton?

>>57403591
Not him, but
better materials (see their steel)
better specs (water resistance, antimagnetic, etc.)
innovative design elements(dehumidification among others)
(Warning:opinion) better aesthetics

I must be the only guy who thinks most Sinns are ugly af.

>>57400881
I doubt it, I never asked.

>>57403833
no, you're not alone

>>57403833
Definitely not the only one. But that particular Hamilton is similar to the style that sinn and fortis make without any of the technology behind it.

>>57401873
It's a deployant clasp. Not all of them hide the strap on the inside like that one though.

>>57404146
Sinn is priced around 30% higher for similar models and Fortis even more so. Also i feel like the Hamilton brand is more established.

I have no idea if the guy selling it is good and I know don't anything about this watch, but this dude is selling a Boy's Size tudor prince oysterdate.

Not that guy, but I'm a turbo wristlet at about 6.3 - 6.5 inches. Do you think that watch wears big? I'd buy the SKX013, but they're a lot more expensive for some reason

>>57406495
the skx and turtle wear really small in my opinion. With those dimensions though you might still want to try one on though.

Modern Hamilton has literally nothing to do with the original company, and exists only to sell mall watch caliber boring garbage to normies.

yeah i like it alot, i have to re adjust it here this weekend but its very comfortable. Doesnt pinch hair or anything.

The titanium case and bracelet is great as you get a metal watch that doesnt feel like it weight wise.

my moderno came with a stainless steel band which is well made, but the weight difference between them is just amazing

i suppose ill find a steel watch i love one day, but the casio feels like my other wates.


got the mako to replace my timex

You could have spent like 20 bucks more and bought a mako II with the better movement

eh i wanted the pepsi bezel and $110 was pretty okay with me

>>57414537
I will never understand the pepsi meme

>>57414595
it looks good.

i coulda bought an invicta or some shit

>>57414606
Don't go that far. The old mako is a little lacking but it's still a good watch. The invicta sub is just trash

thats the point, i didnt buy trash. Sure i bought the pepsi meme, but its well done meme. I think theres a distinct difference in that.

I'm not sure if it's worth 105 dollars. It's just a strap.

How accurate are your watches? The most accurate, the least accurate, and the accuracy of ur beater.

I'll start:

Least accurate +15s/day

Most: -1s/day

My daily Seiko beater: +7s/day

Looks good but you should consider inverting the digital polarized display or whatever it is
