Yeah I don't see many newer Explorer I's for cheaper than about $5000.

Price wise, it seems like the best reputable dealers online are going to be Bob's Watches and Beckertime, but their inventory of Explorer I's goes really fast.

I bought a SARB033 (the AUTOMATIC meme).
Ended up trading it not too long after.

Because after import taxes and maple syrup conversion the deep blue is a week's pay and a tudor is minimum of 5x as much, also couldn't give a shit about value I like how it looks.

>>57691669
Yeah it's too big, maybe a good thing otherwise I would've bought it and had peasants regret.

I'm also looking at something like this.

>>57691911
If you're keen on DB, get the nato diver
Otherwise if you're looking for a smaller diver, save up for the 40mm Oris Aquis.
The Seiko Turtle is also an option, although it's on the bigger side.

Doesn't have to be DB, just that I trust a US based manufacturer over random chinese or internet shit any day.

I don't like the nato diver dial at all; would much rather have rectangular batons. Looking at the DB daynight divers but even these guys are thick as fuck.

>>57691993
You need to understand that you're looking at a professional diver that goes below 200m. 15mm really isn't that thick in this case.
Don't fall for chinkshit memes, unless it's Tisell, just avoid it.
Look into the Aquis if you want a small diver. Otherwise I would say that dive watches are too big for you.

>>57692046
Are there any divers that rival the nomos one in thinness? That is the only really thin dive watch I can think of.

I'm most excited about getting that pharmacy intern license. I'll finally be able to afford shit.

>>57693375

RN, we may have had this discussion before.. I decided I couldn't do retail pharmacy and went to nursing school instead. CVS is for a lack of a better term cucking all their pharmacists, no bonuses and the pay out of school isnt what it used to be.

I do know from my part time pharm tech job that pharmacy interns make bank, like $16-19 an hour.

Good luck senpai, I would suggest any company but CVS, a good independent in an ethnic community in brooklyn might be good. The pay is better but you may have to do your own benefits.

I've been hearing that rite aid and costco are the way to go; the latter especially because you get free lunch. I'm not even joking, Costco food court pizza is enough to make me work there.
Are you going to continue and do NP? I doubt you want to stay as an RN your whole life.
How far did you go with pre-pharm anyway?

>>57693485

The pre-req's are the same mostly up until organic chem and bio chem. I did microbio, chem 1 and 2, and the other pre-health stuff while working at CVS. I couldn't take being in the pharmacy anymore so I switched.

In NY as soon as I have 1 year of practice as an RN I can begin taking NP classes. So that's the plan. If you work 3 12's you can go to school in between.

I don't think it was a limited edition, it's discontinued though. I got one of the last ones on clearance.

It is the 38mm yeah, it might be worth waiting a while as I think they are about to rebrand the Trident range with the new logo. It might lose the textured dial though.

fliegers tend to look bigger optically than divers because the dial goes nearly all the way to the edge of the case.

plenty of good flieger choices in the 40mm size.

>And the price is a lot easier to swallow than a rolex

But a used Rolex will maintain it's value and likely go up in value over time, whereas a Christopher Ward is worth barely after you buy it (particularly in the long term), and it's often not worth the (sometimes significant) repair bill it would have if something went wrong.

You can think of a Rolex as getting to use it for free, because if you buy it and sell it right you can easily break even and very often make money. Alternatively if you spend, say, $1000 on some ETA dogshit then that's basically a guaranteed $1000 that you've lost.

it's supposed to be the chink version of a Tudor black bay.

Has sapphire crystal, miyota 8215 movement, and it's supposed to be 200 meter rated*.

But it's chink shit, so that's probably not true. I did a bit of research before pulling the trigger and some blogger pressure tested and it passed the 200m test. Theres a thread on watchuseek.com? about this watch. Just google corgeut diver.

Not shabby for 100 bucks. I haven't seen these listed on ebay for auction anymore. They used to list them and you'd be able to snag them up for lik 50 bucks which is pretty good deal for what you're getting.

Yo, sup.
I drive often at night, but it's awkward to press the backlight button on my casio with one hand while driving with the other.

Question, are there any watches that can light up when you look at them? Like, a light sensor to detect that its dark and a position sensor to detect that I turned my hand up to look at my watch?

Is that really that hard? Why can't I find anything like that?

>a position sensor to detect that I turned my hand up to look at my watch?
Unless you raised your hand to look at your watch literally the same way every time without deviation, you'd end up with a watch that's just about constantly lighting on and off

I'm getting shit for memeing them, but deep blue has a huge sale right now. The nato diver is a better SKX in every possible way, and with the code it's actually cheaper. Their other divers are good too if you want to spend more.
Can't be beat for 150. Not a shill I swear, just a humble poorfag.

>>57707820
not really, i'm interested in watches with sapphire crystal cba about mineral 2bh. Longislanwatch didn't have the mako II usa(i don't think they even carry it, yet) and that's the only orient I want.

I'm obsessed with divers atm, so any other cheap diver as a daily beater isn't going for less than $200. Deep blues most certainly aren't.

I like Sea Dwellers a lot more than Submariners to be honest, too many assholes have Subs and I don't want to be associated with people that wear them. Plus the Sea Dweller has a really masculine appeal and is an actually better dive watch. In terms of Rolex watches that I could actually wear it would be Explorer I, Explorer II, Milgauss, Sea Dweller, and maybe Air King. A black or root beer GMT are also possible.

This is an old picture, but I learned how to polish the acrylic on my watches with my rotary tool, so now the crystal looks brand new. My friend's watch had a fairly deep gouge that we could never get rid of by hand, and the rotary tool was able to completely remove it.

I think i remember you lol.

It got here yesterday, so 2 weeks. I'm in california. I'd say it was pretty fast shipping compared to other stuff I've ordered from alie can take up to a month to get here.

Did you buy a replacement band to replace the original? cus it's pretty trash.

>>57710983
I have a 15-20 watches with an additional 10 or so straps/bands, so I will try out some different styles and see what feels nice. I think I may end up putting it on a zulu (which I don't have yet) or a sharkmesh (which I also don't have yet) lol.

I also ordered (link below) on 11:11, and am waiting for it to arrive as well. Just concerned that the crown is going to be laughably huge. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/43mm-Corgeut-Sapphire-Sterile-Black-Dial-Hand-Winding-Mens-Watch/32637242542.html

10-15 doesnt seem too outrageous to me. I have ~20 all things included, but that includes a handfull of chinese quartz shitters from when I was testing out how useful I actually found watches. I've seen people here with ~50 watch collections, and others elsewhere with hundreds. To each his own I guess.

Also, I second the tisell suggestion.

Well 3 of them are from my grandfather, more sentimental than anything. I'd say only about 4 of them are actually decent watches. The others include some Casio's and other cheapies. I'm relatively new to the hobby though, only about a year of "collecting". I'll post pics/review when (if ... Lol) I receive them. I'm hoping I don't get screwed at Canadian customs. I'll look into the Tisells though.

Morellato, Spiedel, Hadley Roma to name a few. Otherwise read the guidelines.

>>57712288
Just bought pic related. It will be my first citizen. It's got a titanium band, sapphire display, atomic with perpetual calendar. I'm pretty excited. It's not the same genre of watch as some of my mechanicals, but cool none the less in my view. Will be my first watch from amazon.

I went with the white dial. I got an older 16470 with tritium hands and dial so I could have that really cool contrast of the white dial + creamy, patina'ed tritium. I also ordered a sand-colored, canvas NATO to wear it on so I can have an ultimate, classic looking explorer's watch. Video fairly closely related.

if you ever find yourself in a situation where you feel there is no hope, look to these watches and they will offer you inspiration.

>horological history doesnt fucking matter.
I didnt say it was important.
They just dont really have any. Theyve been around for a while and there's some vintage models that are nice but the modern company as a brand is simply shit.
Still if anons dad really likes em and can get a good deal sure he should get one.
pic related is modern iwc

>>57720963
I serviced and restored both of these myself. The Raketa is mine now since my grandfather passed away. We found it in a box originally for some electronics parts while sorting through his stuff, along with two mint-condition 80's chinkshits he probably found too shitty to wear. He wore it when I was a little kid, but I didn't actually remember it till I saw the watch.

The Slava I fixed up and gave back to my grandmother.

>>57721094
For some reason Raketa used IV as their standard for the roman four up until the early 80's, when they retired almost all these models and replaced them with all new IIII ones. I guess somebody finally noticed. Compare their 1980 and 1984 catalog with their 1977 one.

Bought 5 perlons in the cheapestnato sale. Wouldn't buy regular natos there because you can get them cheaper.

To my untrained eyes, subs and sea dwellers look exactly the same.

But I'm a watch lover creature spawned from the hellish shitholes of the Interwebs, I love seiko, orient, vostok...

It's a straight deal really. Gran gives me her old watches to me so I could git gud at watch repair and I give them back as working timepieces. She has more watches than I do now.

Also what was I supposed to do with a women's slav handwinder?

I guess you got an SNK809, but really this would work with any seiko5

It's a 18mm NATO brace.

Chack out the history of NATOs on internet, it's pretty interesting.

Also it's cheap as fuck.

You choose a watch, not a strap.

Type B is no plebcore at all.

This is really a retarded comment man. At least give an explanation, because plebs wouldn't even know what a flieger is.

>>57722048
How much? Is it still going on?

does an extreme fluctuation in temperature have an adverse affect on an automatic?

thinking of biting the snk809 bug, and will be moving from a cold climate to a tropical one for a short time, then returning

>>57723354
Type B fliegers are popular among normies, partly because the MUH NAZI SUPER SOLDIERS idea normies have and the fact that it's fuckhueg while being military-themed.

Pic related a bong company called Eaglemoss made a collectible line of military-inspired "toy" watches with simple quartz movements, with the Luftwaffe Pilot Watch being by far the most popular one all around the world. I used to see these watches everywhere, the normies ate this shit up so much that now these watches sometimes on Ebay these turds fetch the price of a chink mechanical Flieger or SNK809.

>>57723777
Oils might behave differently on different temperatures, but I doubt it's noticeable with the overall accuracy of the 7S26. Also the balance assembly of watches have been made of temperature-insensitive materials since decades.

>tdw obsessed with divers again and I really fucking want a Doxa now
This is never gonna end is it

>>57723652

Yeah, still on. $20 total for 5 perlons.

>>57723882
thanks my fellow african

which do i get now

snk809 with black leather
snk803 with brown leather strap
snk807 and throw a stainless steel bracelet on it?

>>57723922
How much would they cost normally?
Thats a pretty good deal but I already bought a deep blue, a $20 mesh bracelet (with screwed links and a milled clasp surprisingly) and an SSD.
Spent way more than I expected this weekend and I was already broke.
>>57723948
Again, not trying to shill, but the deep blue nato diver is a better skx in every way and it's only 150 right now.

>>57724022

They'd cost about $10 each. 30% off and another 20% off when you buy 5. They'd come out to about $5 each.

>>57723920
just buy an f91w, stop browsing these threads and be done with it

Oh it's applied to each one, never mind.

>>57719932
If your dad likes it then he should get it... Nothing wrong with the watch. We are a bunch of snobs, it's a pretty watch and he has a certain relationship with the brand. Sounds like he would enjoy the watch which makes it worth the money.

I'm feeling creative,

what's the quirkiest digital watch you know of?

Stop. These sales need to fucking end.

>40% off deep blue divers
>30% off cheapestnatostraps
>Like 2 bucks off a chink mesh from ebay, it's really nice though with screwed links and a milled clasp.
I'd say the best deal is the deep blue one.
Really didn't want to buy a watch until the summer but it was too good to pass up.

>>57725067
Don't mean to be an inconvenience, but could I bug you for the links to the exact deep blue you bought and also to the mesh strap as well?

Thoughts on this Seiko SNDC31?
Also how do i know what size diameter I should get for my wrist, I don't want an oversized pos sitting on my arm all day.

going to central america soon, should i wear a $100 watch, or is even that worth too much?

i want to stay classy, but i'm scared that i may just be providing some pablo with a new toy

They're posting Rolexes and Omegas while you faggots jerk off over seiko and orient

>>57726715

Maybe some people get tired of seeing pictures of speedmasters on every single fucking post.

We get it, you on a fucking Speedmaster holy shit.

p.s. I own a speedy myself, yet I recognize that there are other watches in this world

>Why is r/watches so much richer than /wt/?

Probably because richer people who want a place to talk about watches are going to find r/watches before they ever find the specific watch threads on a 4chan board.

Also /g/ is full of poorfags who would rather buy 10 dogshit ETA or quartz watches than a single collectible Omega or Rolex.

Lawyer-anon alone is probably richer than all the plebs on reddit. Not like that really matters, anyway.

>>57726790

speedmasters are pretty cool. they're on my list of candidates for a first chrono, along with a seagull 1963 and some various valjoux 7750 models. but of course they are a really safe choice, like a submariner or a tank.

>>57726914

the personality type drawn to /r/watches is also less interesting than the ones drawn here. if you just want everyone to tell you that you made a good safe choice in getting the most popular watch in the world (speedy, sub, tank) then you go to reddit. if you are interested in all kinds of random autistic shit then you come here.

reddit, for example, will allow you to repeatedly post the same image over and over. here, you would have to take fresh photos, because you're not allowed to just spam the same thing over again. once you have seen four or five speedmasters you have well and truly seen them all. on /g/wt you have to wait for the old thread to expire before senselessly reposting your Most Common Watch On The Moon That Everyone Has Seen A Million Times again for a nintieth time, thankfully.
