What's up, anons?

>>58056813

>>58056823
it is focused, I can read the license plate easy

What are some really durable mechanical watches? And I don't just mean it can handle being dropped. I'm talking some rough falls and hits

>>58056823
Couldn't
It was either focusing on the watch, or on the fine dark gentlemen that were thinking about taking it from me unpolitely.

I think I made the right choice.

>>58056858

>What are some really durable mechanical watches? And I don't just mean it can handle being dropped. I'm talking some rough falls and hits

The ones that are so cheap you don't really care.

If you're planning on going apeshit on your watch, mechanical ones probably aren't for you.

Give the first watch you choose a best in bracket and similarly for the last watch a shit in brackets.

Casio
Seiko
Omega
Rolex
Tudor
Tissot

I don't want to buy a Casio digital watch and then in 5 years not be able to buy a new one

i was joking, but honestly if I actually believed that then olympics wouldn't mean shit, the nba is much more competitive than the olympics.

reposting this from last thread: is there a book or something which details the last century or so of watchmaking history/culture and the the influential people, events and pieces? or is this type of shit relegated to wikipedia

Depends on your climate/work environment. I live in a dry climate and pretty much wear my watch from my air-conditioned home to my air-condtioned car or metro (if I'm not lazy that day) to my air-conditioned office and back, so leather is perfectly fine. Otherwise, it may get too sticky. If you like the look you can always invest in waterproofed/"performance" leather (Hirsch and DiModell have some offerings - pic related).

>>58056853
vostok komandirskie/amphibia are probably the ideal for that

why? because not only are they designed to be rugged enough, they're also cheap so you won't exactly feel like kys if you do manage to destroy one

seikos have certifications but you can get like 3 vostoks for the price of one, if not more

>>58059062
Quartz Tissot is a product for non-watch people. I'm sorry, but your dad has atrocious taste.

Mechanical Tissot is a product for people who still place stock in the Tissot of the 60's/70's, when they were essentially on-par (in terms of quality) with Omega. The problem is, Tissot no longer make their movements, and their current watches can claim no heritage from the Tissot of the past.

>>58058488
I don't follow the olympics closely but the /ast time I watched them the timer in the bottom right corner of the screen clearly said Seiko.

Found my father's seiko pilot flightmaster.

It's in pretty bad conditions, do you guys think it would be possible to restore it?
I think the mechanism it's repairable, and maybe it would be easier to replace the glass and the bezel.
The watch it's probably worth no more than 200€ (in good conditions) so I don't really wanna spend more than its value

>>58059273

New crystal will tidy it up nicely, probably easy to find, the bezel may take some looking though.

The movement is likely functional, but in need of a service just to clean it up and get it running like new.

Take it to just about any watch maker or jeweller and just get it serviced.

The biggest idiot stamp a person can buy.

Tissot only began putting that on their dials in the 90's. Ironically, the appeal Tissot is making to their long history and heritage with that inclusion, breaks with their history and heritage.

And the case makes it look like a fucking Citizen.

You could save up a tiny bit and get a Seiko 5.

>>58060921
Yes. Crystals age and that can change the frequency up or down, depending on how it ages, ranging from radiation to outgassing, diffusion and relaxation.

Where would I read up to learn more about movements? I.e. whats the K&R of watchmaking?

Its a very vintage design that one doesn't see a lot anymore. Rolex and Omega used to have some stuff like this. Like it because it splits the difference between dress watch and sport watch quite nicely.

If only Stowa made a nice dress watch that wasn't barfhaus-inspired like the Antea.

and besides, a seiko may very well lose 30 seconds a day as well, just like a vostok, it is well within specs. my seiko 5 lost 20 a day pre-regulation, just like my vostok did

I don´t precisely wear watches "regularly". as I must keep rotating to give them all some wrist time over the year.

For example, now that I came back home, my Speedy will rest comfortably in the safe at least until the first half of january.

However, one of the most affordable watches that I tend to wear, let's say often, is a Citizen Caliber 8700 (pic related, but not mine, obviously) in a cushion shape case.
It's acompletely analog, perpetual, full calendar that I enjoy very much.
You can pick one for around 350 USD new, If you find one.

I do not by any means have a dislike for that line of work - I just don't want to spend years doing something and end up being stuck in it IF I turn out to not like it

>I don't think I am capable of becoming a doctor, but I'm confident I could be a more than competent lawyer
You could go for a technical degree and then turn to law as a patent attorney. Not quite the same as an attorney at law but you get to work with a lot of lawyers. Remuneration is also adequate.

>>58062828
>Why would you drop 400 usd down the garbage can like that? Replicas are and will always be shit.
Have you ever used/seen expensive reps personally? I have nicer watches already and i just want to know the quality of a $400 rep watch. The watch I'm interested in buying is from noob factory which supposed to be a popular manufacturer among repfags

>>58063134
I actually have handled a few, and let me tell you, they never live up to the expectations; specially if you know the real deal.

A while ago I used to approch people I just met and talk about watches when I noticed them wearing something interesting. Sadly, sometimes the watches ended being fakes and I had to pull myself out of a really uncomfortable and awkward conversation. Never again.
Don't waste that money dude.

>>58063286
>I actually have handled a few, and let me tell you, they never live up to the expectations; specially if you know the real deal.
That's disappointing, though i probably expected too much from anything made by chinks

Thoughts on watches with no date display?

>>58063286

That's actually a nice watch. The 3, 6, 9 indices make it look much better.

>>58063389

They have no date display.

>>58063389
depends what type of watch. I generally don't like date windows except for "business-y" type watches where it would actually be useful.

is the Casio WVA-M640D-1ACR the only radio adjusted watch that's non-plastic/digital? I'm looking for a gift and was hoping to see more variety in the wavecepter series however they all look like sports watches.

>>58063435

I've been wondering if there are any good rolexes with the nice day at 12 but no shitty date

like I'm pretty sure there aren't any times of year where it goes from monday to wednesday, but I truly hate having to change the date on an automatic watch
I could really do without date altogether because of that, but I wish I could keep the day, rolex really gets day right in my eyes

I didn't mention it because I wasn't wanting to attention whore, and also because everything here is logged into the botnet, but I'll post my story quickly

I moved 4 months before my senior year of high school. I graduated a year early at 17 and I had to spend only one semester at HS for a single english credit. I still didn't have a good idea how the world worked and was confused /younger, so I wasn't doing anything other than working. My dad pushed me to apply at the local Community college but it was ghetto so I disenrolled and went into a 2 year AS taught totally online from a private college. I finish my associate's July next year, and need to apply to my local uni by May that year as well.

Through being really blessed and fortunate, my entire education is free by a combination of 3 programs I am eligible for. I am not a med student or anything, I just figure that the two fields of study that will be the best ROI on my time are medicine and law.

I don't know what to get for my bachelors, I am thinking either BS in Informatics or a BS in Bus. Management. The only catch for my undergrad is it has to be a state sponsored public university, but as for graduate school, I can do to any school in the country and my entire tuition will be covered, I will also receive $1k a month for living expenses.

I didn't want to be a boastful cunt, but desu none of this happened through any of my own doing. I am just a typical millennial who has no idea what to do

>>58063500

>>58063638

>>58063371
There are some good chinks watches around, but that's because they don't try to be anything else. My Imperial Red is a good example of that.
Replicas are just crap. I respect more someone with a cheap Citizen or Casio that a Rolex replica.

>>58063389
They tend to have a cleaner look. Any particular watch in mind?

>>58063393

>>58063514

>>58063796
is this bullying your way of telling me there is nothing like a day-just out there?

>>58063838
There might be, but if there's only going to be one of those complications it will be date because people forget that far more often than the day of the week.

>>58063393
I think the opposite funnily enough.

>>58063435

Casio Lineage LIW-T100TD-1AJF is the only non ana-digi model other than the Oceanus line.

>>58063603
No worries m8.
You're a hadfull, btw. I would suggest you to have a chat with a professional career/vocational advisor/counselor before making any serious commitments.
Even if they are a bit cliché, these guys exists for a reason, and seeing one could potentially make your life way better and easier. Just don't listen to any clown on the street, look for the Pro ones.

To become a patent attorney it is strongly preferred to have a masters degree. A PhD is even better and this is a profession where skills, degrees and experience is appreciated also outside grand speeches.

> I am just a typical millennial who has no idea what to do
The other advantage of doing a PhD is that you get to enjoy your student lifestyle another 4 - 5 years. I did that.

Not him but really, when you work around the clock for several days at a time you really don't know what day it is. Jet lag gives me the same problem too.

Also in business the week number is often useful. I see Sinn and Junghans have a few watches with week number, perhaps Germans are more focused on week numbers.

Cheap nato straps order came in today and let me tell you, even on sales these straps are not worth it. Their nato straps are awesome but do not purchase their perlon straps. The clasp on their premium perlon straps is this chintzy piece of stamped sheet metal they didn't even bother to polish or round the corners. What the hell! The end of the strap is burnt all uneven and when wearing it, the strap is as stiff as cardboard and abrasive. Their specialty high end leather straps supposedly made in germany are also made poorly, where the strap loops to hold the spring bar, it's uneaven. fucking hell /g/ Never again!

You have to wear them a few times for them to break in and be more comfortable. I haven't ordered their premium perlons, but I think the regular are just fine.

Anyone know how much is it to repair a Seiko SKX007 watch? My watch stopped moving even after moving if after 5 minutes.

I still have my warranty card, but someone forgot to fill in the details.

I said their regular perlon. That looks like shit.

Question for guys who wear bracelet style wristbands, doesn't that shit get painful? I've worn watches like that before and had them fitted at a jeweler, and even then the links would pull and sometimes yank out arm hairs. The hairs on my watch wrist would eventually be shorter an stubby compared to my other wrist.

>>58068897

>>58068857

You have options, the 7s26 is readily available, I have also heard hte 6R15 and 4r15 fit with some modifications.....

You have to find someone who won't fuck you over with the repair, there is a place online I think you can send in watches to be repaired for like $125ish.. I don't have the website off hand.

Or you can sell it on WUS or ebay for repair and probably get a round $100 towards something new.

Sorry that happened to you bud, that movement is pretty robust and it's not very common for issues to happen to it.

Is this a joke?
Their watches are fucking hideous
Casio has a bunch of lines you can look at
Obviously theres the digitals and g-shocks
The MDV106 is a very durable and classically styled diver
There's also the MTP series of casual wear watches that are also pretty water resistant
Then theres the edifice chronos that are really nice but might be out of your budget

W-what?

>>58071953
They are mediocre at best. I would rather get a chink watch with a miyota movement than one, and it would probably look better and keep time just as well for $40 less.

Casio makes some nice looking watches, you just have to wade through a lot of shit. They have a tank-style one that is somewhat passable. The mdv is good as another anon mentioned. Some of the edifice watches are also quite nice. Seiko also makes a number of nice looking cheap quartz watches, and even has every autist's favorite first mechanical.

Depending on the style of watch you want there are other options out there. Casio probably just has the most worthwhile options at that price point.

Maybe post a pic of the sort of watch you are interested in so we could give better suggestions?

You mean this tank style one?

>>58072253
I was hoping you would post that.
None of the pics I could find on google looked as good as the ones I'd seen here.

Watches are technology as fuck.

A much older form of technology than computers etc, but still pretty fascinating tech.

omfg this fucking philipino fgt hasn't shipped my watch. Told the fgt to update the shipping with a tracking and the trackign number leads to nothing. Holy fuck I'm fuming. I'm gonna have to ask for a refund from this cunt. Was really hoping he would ship my shit, but the fgt jsut won't ship it.

reeee

I know the 6r15 has "diashock", which means some of the main jewels have some kind of suspension. Or maybe just one jewel.

Not sure about any of the other Seiko movts.

>>58073085
Diashock is Seikos inhouse shock protection system, akin to incabloc, and found on both 7S26's and 6r15s. Along with all of their mechanical movements.

Whats wrong with the Panerai? I've never really heard anything about it.

>>58073169

Panerai cucked their fans into buying a limited edition watch with a non-decorated movement.

>>58073169
Those were mostly referencing the Pam 318 shenanigans. They also have a heavy dose of Richemont cuckery, in addition to their general aesthetic which is pretty love or hate, coupled with the fact that every watch they make is the same style.

Im sorry but I havent even wrapped my head around repeaters, let alone automatons. I think that at best my first watch will have eot and a power reserve, if I can get them thin enough.
Btw, what you you think about slavshits?

I actually kind of like this watch in a way. Now I would never wear it, but if I was a kid I'd probably think it looks cool and it could really go well with like a pirate costume or something for Halloween. It's like a cartoony costume piece

>What's your price range, colleague?
I was thinking of something up towards 10 k USD. Being a technical guy first (and a patent attorney second) I have an eye for functionality and would like triple date. Aesthetically speaking moonphase would be nice.

JLC does not seem to do lume, I guess that is a bit thrashy in their eyes.
