Can someone recommend something simple, cheap, pope-watch-ish but less flimsy, sub 38mm?

>>57664389
what seiko is on the right and is there one with english dates?

>>57665292
yea. someone recommend a cheap watch around $100 or less that won't be embarrassing to wear if I ever meet rich people.No Osama watches.

Seiko 5 famalam, plenty of various models. Vostok Amphibia is another option, along with Orients sub 100$ lineup.

Buy new unless you've properly researched. And whatever you do don't order from India.

>>57665811
What website though. I don't trust ebay or amazon. Macy's have seikos cheap but I'm afraid they are those items specifically made for Black Friday so are of shit quality.

>>57665828
>I don't trust eBay or Amazon

The websites aren't at fault.

>>57665828

long island watch has them cheap, but amazon has them cheaper. do you have some political/ethical problem with amazon or are you just a moron?

the speedmaster is a nice, safe choice.
a sub/gmt-master works as well. doesn't dress up as well though.
or go for something dressier.
a reverso is a fun choice, but i wouldn't get one as my first nice watch.

So my dad bought me a waterproof/shockproof watch that was $30 and worked fine then I realized it was uncomfortable to wear a watch around and that I carry something that tells the time and date on it pretty much 24/7, sometimes 2 of those things and even if I didn't there are clocks pretty much everywhere or at least another person who had the time so I threw the watch in a drawer and never touched it again so I guess my question is how fucking retarded is someone who wears a watch today, let alone the people who spend significant amounts of money on them just to look like a god damn faggot?

All that's left is a diver. Leaning towards the planet ocean.
Obviously the purchases would be 3 or so years apart. More if there's something more important to buy.

>>57669626

>>57669764
I heard the clasp kinda sucks on the H-link
Is that true?

>>57669764
Really tempted to get one. The size, the dial all look ideal to me.

>>57670157

the construction of the clasp is not super impressive because it's just the standard friction-fit type where you have a little friction-fit latch that closes back the other way. but the whole thing including the clasp is tegimented.

honestly the only complaint i have about the bracelet is not the clasp, but that the tolerances are too loose for a watch that costs $2000. the links are only just barely tighter than my stainless F-91 bracelet.

I've decided to purchase a leather watch roll for my watches.

>>57666557

B. I'm not "shilling," I bought a watch today and I'm posting about it. Do you think literally every fucking post here is a shill?

I remember that deep blue had a 50% off code, is that still valid?
Because their nato diver is a hell of a watch for 150$

>>57670711

the removable links are fitted with screws. it comes with a tool that fits perfectly into the screw heads. the manual suggests using blue loctite and i had absolutely no problems sizing the bracelet using the included tool and blue loctite like the manual said.

Any black friday watch deals?

>>57670987
The code was CYBER, I forget how long the sale is lasting but I'd guess until monday.

>>57671061
The deep blue 40% one I just mentioned, Long Island watch has some deals, I think there's a 15% Helson one but I'm not certain. 15% off Borealis, code is BLACKFRIDAY15%

>>57671099

I think the silver one looks super cool, I almost wish I had bought it instead. They sell a bracelet fitted for it though for $60, it looks pretty nice. The cyber shipping option is $10, be sure to pick that.

How long is the shipping?

>>57671574
I don't know yet, I just have a tracking number that says preparing for shipment from Brooklyn. I can't imagine that taking longer than monday or tuesday to arrive depending on when it leaves. Sure beats ordering from a foreign country like my borealis that took 3 fucking weeks to show up.

Even a 51 L2L won't look that big with a nato.

>Yeah if you're 4ft tall.
No, it actually depends on wrist size. Now, if you're a fat fuck with 9-inch wrists, then go ahead and get a dinner plate. But if you're typical and have a 7.25-inch wrist or smaller, the max is 42 mm.

If you want minimalism then have a look at Nomos watches, they are likely the best in that style. If that is beyond your budget then check out Rodina R005. If you are on a tight budget then see if there are some clean looking Seiko 5's.

If you want to buy something that lasts and keeps the value.

I like Sinns. With more money to spend, I'd have one of them, or a Damasko, as a daily beater. The tegimented steel and easy to read style just make too much sense.

I like them but the tickness and size take away from it's beauty. If they could make it slimmer and smaller i'd spring for them.

korean, although it's using chinese parts, except for some japanese movement.

>>57682238
>is tisell good?
For the most part they're the best you're going to get for the price.
They are probably the best Asian "homage" brand, though they do have a few original designs.
They fucked up the kerning on a run of a Sub-C homage, which earned them meme status - but the band and clasp on the same watch was REALLY well made and finished, way above SARB level.
>is it a chinese thing?
Korean.

>>57681441
As far as dogshit goes it's unpretentious and pleasant, and has more cachet and elegance than your average Timex or no-name chink garbage.

Honestly I would either get a Casio if you just want functionality, or a Seiko if you want something more elegant and of more horological value while still being affordable.

Deep Blue bros, did your watches ship yet?
They shipped mine an hour ago.
What are the odds I get mine in today since I live in brooklyn?

>>57682664
I agree.
At the sub $50 range (or if you just want a beater or even a cheap tank style dress watch) Casio's MTP line can't be beat.
There's also the DW5600 if you want digital, and the MDV06 if you want a proper diver with a 120-click bezel.
Above that you can't do better than a Seiko 5.
I wouldn't buy anything in the ~$200 range, just save up a bit more for a turtle.

I would say the best deal in watches right now though is the Deep Blue nato diver w/ the black friday code.
You get a watch that's cheaper than the skx, yet better in every single way. That's probably the best you can do for $150 in watches right now.

>>57682769
Mine already says delivery attempted, but I'm out of town until tomorrow. I ordered Tuesday.

Seiko Monster and Citizen NY0040 are two examples that say differently. Plenty of other options in the 50~200$, some vintage some new.

Though i can't argue the Turtle is a great purchase, the SKX is still widely available at 180$~

>>57682876
You can order catalogs, but they take forever to ship and deliver. They're free though so not a big deal.

>>57682924
You'd be right about the monster a couple months ago but they completely disappeared and if you do find one it's a scalper that wants like 300 bucks.
The NY0040 is a great watch but the movement is pretty shit, really for not much more you can just get a turtle which is better in basically every way.

I don't know how long the sale is going to last but the nato diver at 150 is a much better buy than the skx right now.
>>57682990
Just go on whatever brand you like and order a catalog. Omega has a nice one, so does NOMOS

>>57682838

>>57683015
>the movement is pretty shit
Care to back that claim up?

The NY0040 is powered by the robust 8203A movement, it's a movement series that was designed and built to last and is known to be as long living as a 7XXX's series Seiko movement. You can easily find 20 year old examples of the movement still kicking, along with poo-in-the loo'd ones that still survive.

And unlike the regular 7S26 movement, it handwinds. Though it lacks bi-directional winding.

I won't argue that Seiko knocked it out the park with the Neo-Turtle, but the NY0040 is a splendid watch on it's own.

>You'd be right about the monster a couple months ago but they completely disappeared and if you do find one it's a scalper that wants like 300 bucks.

They pop up from time to time and sell for the 200$ range (SRP307&311), the 313 is still available for decent prices.

>>57680425
> yellow post it notes for comparison

literally the same colour kek

>>57683159
Seiko 5 is a good way to go.
I'm guessing this is your first watch? The MDV106 will give you 90% of a proper dive watch experience (minus the mechanical movement) for only $40.
I would get that and a few straps to try out.
>>57683212
Yeah I went with that since it was the cheapest option. What color did you go with? I went with pepsi
>>57683265
Zenitar is the best on ebay. Pony up a little more for an amphibia though, you won't regret it. Also remember to get a strap, the bracelet is garbage.
>>57683271
I meant in relation to the 4R movement in the turtle.
I still think the 7s26 is better in terms of accuracy, and bi-directional winding is almost better than hand-winding.
And again, you can get a much better watch for not much more.
>>57683322
It's hard to capture a cream dial on camera generally. It's much lighter than a post-it.

>>57683363
The 4R36 is, very roughly said, is a 7S26 with handwinding and hacking. Overall the accuracy specs for the Citizen/Miyota 82XX movement series is more or less equal to the 7S line.

The uni-directional automatic winding on Citizen's movement works fine in practice.

I can't argue that the Turtle is a great watch, but there's no need to hate on the NY0040.

>>57683493
I've owned a few uni-directional winders and they really do suck if you're not constantly moving your arm.
Handwinding isn't very useful on a diver, especially if you don't want to wear out the threading and seals on the crown. I'd much rather have my watch charge up with a few shakes over constantly screwing and unscrewing to make sure it's winded fully.

>>57683159
>>57683363

>>57683542
>Handwinding isn't very useful on a diver, especially if you don't want to wear out the threading and seals on the crown.

Again, bullshit. Divers need to wind up their watches before immersion to make sure their watches won't run out of charge while being in the depths, where they rely on their watches.

>>57683545
>44mm too big for me.
It's like this thread is full of smurfs
Go with a Seiko 5 then

>>57683625
Or they can shake the watch for a few seconds and not risk fucking their seal up or leaving the crown unscrewed.
Also divers in 2016 don't rely on dive watches, fuck off; I'm talking about day to day use

That's true, but if you're gonna use that argument, we could extrapolate that to everyone. No one really relies on a mechanical watch in 2016 with the more advanced technology available.
And fuck off:

You started saying bullshit about the usefulness of handwinding on a diver when you also think that diver watches aren't useful nowadays.

Unless you plan on replacing your seals every other year handwinding everyday isn't a smart idea. Bi directional winding on the other hand will wind up your watch completely in no time, and thats without ruining your seals.

Good to see you again. I hate your watch.

But I'd still get that Speedmaster if it will replace the Tag. You can actually get some use of the chronograph by timing how long it takes for Ninefag to come along and shit on its movement.

Is $5k basically the best price range I can hope for when looking to purchase a relatively recent Rolex Explorer I?

The SARB line's steel bands aren't any better.
Stamped clamps, hollow end links, etc.

Mine wasn't.
They may have changed in the past three years, but never again will I spend more than $100 for a watch with a stamped clasp.

stamped clasp: the holocaust of watch accesories
