I have the blue Mako II and I'm still lusting after the USA. It's so damn sexy.

>>58195099
What makes it better than the Ray Raven?

On ebay, the Ray Raven is currently at 150 eurocux, while the mako is at 300....

SKX price is rising. Will I get rich in the future if it continues to rise, or am I deluded?

Yeah... it's not the same price...

Most of their designs aren't very good, and the quality isn't up to what they want you to think they are.
It's a brand sold mostly on marketing and "swiss made", with no real effort put into making good watches.
They do have some decent models though, but overall, the brand sucks.

No, they're just straight up steel watch, there's no coating on the steel. It's just steel.
And the normal Ray is a very good watch btw.

buy a seiko diver's solar chronograph. it's similar to a rolex sea-dweller, though not automatic but solar/quarz and can go up to 200m instead of 100m like the gmt master.

don't shower with either, because that's different water pressure and both would break.

i would not recommend showering with any watch at all ever, no matter which brand unless the makers confirm it can handle it.

most watches, even rolex, breitling or glashütte break because the water in a shower, the "drizzle", has different water pressure than the sea.

This is why i like the Sea-Dweller. Because it's not It's not a Sub. Subs are cheaper and look the same to most people so are more popular with the horologically ignorant assholes who just "want a Rolex" I appreciate not having a Cyclops, the matte dial, better case proportions and thinner lugs.

you can say what you want about this watch

but ive tried it all, casio 5610, casio gpw-1000, seiko diver with metal bracelet, seiko with several different nato bands

but this is hands down the most comfortable watch ive worn

its handwound, which i assume makes it lighter than an automatic

also i think it looks fucken sweet, ive tried to copy that look with a seiko snk803 with a black leather band but it looked like shit

this one just looks cool

yeah its not waterproof and ill probably have to wash hands carefully
yeah it has no lume and the hands are low contrast
yeah it loses about 22s per day

but its completely meme-free

not to mention the emotional value

my grandfather bought it sometime in the 70s if not in the 60s

probably had to save up some money and drive to some big city since this was during the soviet union

when he died earlier this year i got the watch

and i wound it and it works probably as good as on the first day


i think its just super-neat

sorry for the blog post

>>58197727
Flat on table and loses 22s?
Yes for the night.

>>58197727
Nice watch anon. Get it serviced and change the crystal.

>>58197765
tbqh i didnt measure in lab settings
just used toolwatch
im still playing around with how to put it down at night

>>58197766
thanks mate
i have a problem though
the entire watch-block inside the case has a bit of leeway
ie if i hold the watch upside down it falls (you can hear it)
also if i press down the time-setting-rotator i can see the entire watchface tilt up
how best solve it? give it to a pro? or just open the watch up and stick in some layers of something and close it back up?

>>58197819
sounds like the movement holder isn't there, or is broken or something. you should definitely take it for a service then.

guys what can i expect from this watch??

in particular, how good is the movement? it says "
Automatikwerk Laco 21
Basiswerk Miyota 821 A"

also how good will the lume be? coming from a seiko diver, i assume it will be worse?

>>58197919
>36mm
Well you are looking at girls model for starters

>>58197919

An haphazardly assembled assortment of Chinese parts and a bargain basement low-beat, non-hacking Miyota automatic movement pretending to be a German made watch or have anything whatsoever to do with historical fliegers.

well i wanted a watch thats sized approx the same as this old watch

how big is this old watch? how do you measure size?

>>58198051
diameter of the case without the lugs
but 36mm is men's size, that guy is retarded

>>58198013
what would you suggest then if i want a watch that is:

- high contrast very readable dial with lume
- numbers 1 to 2 (and preferable nothing else)
- small
- automatic
?

Does anyone know about the brand "Etica"?

My uncle passed away, and had around 50 or so, that he was intending to resell. I've looked up the model numbers and can't find much of anything about them.

It popped up for only $225. Tried using the best offer to knock a few bucks off but it auto rejected anything below the buy it now price, dumb. Another fucking $18 in sales tax because it's shipping within the same state (and city). Should receive it soon.

There's only a dozen other listings of this and other G757 models all in the several hundred dollar range that will never sell, and occasional nonfunctioning as-is listings, so I'll take it.

>>58199677
That's a great price for one if it is fully functioning and in good condition. It's on my list for 2017 I think now that my collection is beginning to mature.

It was in the top of my bag at the gym in the locker and I think it fell out when I left, went back but it was gone. Searched high and low. I guess it was my own fault but it still feels bad, I definitely would hand someone elses lost property back in. I hope they needed it more than I did

>>58199803
Good luck. You could try a cheap as-is one. Apparently many screens fail to power on even with a fresh battery because the screen zebra connector is finicky. I've seen threads of people attempting to clean it and sometimes it fixing the issue.

Most people will say it's overpriced for the SWISS MADE compared to a comparably priced Seiko, but you could do way worse. But unless you're desperate to have a Swiss Made watch - ANY Swiss Made watch, or you find some model whose design just resonates with you on a cosmic level that you can't pass up, Tissot is probably not worth it.

Hey alpinist bros. You've got to get a horween #8 strap, looks so good on that watch.

I kind of want a 114270. What say you, /wt/?

Red pill me on Grand Seikos.

I'm considering buying a SBGE011 / SBGE013.

Why shouldn't I?

>>58204308
Just my personal opinion but if you are going to get a Grand Seiko get one that is not boring/mundane. Nothing wrong with the ones you posted. They just have a somewhat basic design.

Spending that much money I want something with some personality.

>>58204376
Also if you meant to type seiko SBGC013 that is pretty cool apart from the pushers being huge.

Just bought this scratchy BGW-101 for $40 from Thailand without strap or bezel.... How badly did I fuck up, /g/?

>>58204590

It's water resistant up to 200m and you can also wear it in the shower.

You did pretty good

>>58204401

I meant sbge

http://www.seiyajapan.com/products/s-sbge013

I agree that the outside looks a bit standard, but it has GMT and the movement is what impresses me most.

But at nearly $5k I want to know about any downsides

Still, it has served me well for 6 years at this point, although I had to replace the band earlier this year because the strap that holds the band down broke.

It's kinda expensive for chinese replica watches, but you can expect good quality watches. (except straps, which you could buy separately. The straps are hit and miss)

>>58206617
Thanks. That website looks great, although they fonction seem to have the Breitling navitimer. Will show it to m'y dad tho

>>58206643
If you buy from there then add the extras like sapphire glass (for scratch free glass), swan neck(for nice fine-adjustment, usually only found at higher end watches) and waterproofing. They try to make it look as cheap as possible, but those things will make it last and be easier to maintain.

Going to buy my first mechanical watch. I really like the look on field watches. The SNK809 seems to be recommended alot, but there's something missing there. I'd like the dial to reach more to the edges and the case to be polished.. Is there anything for me? My budet is sadly around 200 euros. My wrist is little under 17cm/6.7inches.

If you like watches and automatic movement so much don't you want to get your hands dirty? Really take something apart? It's possible, Internet has everything

http://www.thewatchguy.com/pages/repair.html

$100 is misleading, the tools are reusable. Quality watchmaker screwdrivers set to last a long time. Watch back unscrewer to replace batteries on other watches without scratching. Hand remover is niche I'll give you that. But it'll be a fun experience, and it'll pay for itself to do my own repairs on timepieces I find

Fixing things and learning how things work do. You can tinker with mechanical things like old bikes and automatic movement watches a lot more than modern pcb electronics, quartz watches, etc. All new things close off serviceability and learning how things work

Nice dude. Is eBay really the way to go for buying old discarded vintage watches? I can't even find Chinese automatic movements at my local thrift stores. So much quartz shit out there

I bought the CA-53W and later realized that I needed a light.
Should I return it and go for the F91-W? Or which one do you guys value more; a calculator and dual time or a light?

Servicing watches requires precision work. The precision work is more akin to working with small electronics/electronic components rather than fixing a bike. Fixing bicycles, although does require skill, is rather rudimentary.

Fucking hell, I wish I was getting $800 gifts

>>58215123
im as mystified as you are. i had no idea the gift giver could even afford this shit. i think they might be going senile so idk if i should feel bad for accepting the gift

>>58215002
Idk why it looks kinda cheap

>>58215002
man thats ugly
and whats whit the way the strap connects

>>58214790
Well we'll see. I really do appreciate the realism, but I think I'll enjoy the experience. I do electronics work too with sotering so I think I can get the hang of it. Just another skill to learn

>>58207761
Why the fuck would you actually do something like that? That's even worse taste than a gold rolex.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll return it and buy the F-91W.

>>58215002
That is a fedora watch if I ever saw one.

>>58215815
If you want llight don't get the F-91W which has a fucking grabage led thing; get the F-105W which has a proper EL backlight

I hope you at the very least, got enough blood on that god awful purple strap to warrant ditching the fucking god awful thing.

But isn't the light bright enough so I can see it in the dark?

should I buy a retro constellation or something new like a celadon?

give it to me straight, /fa/g/s

>>58216622
There probably aren't any celadon imperials left, so that option is out.

>>58216678
wat

I thought they were made to order. Are they not producing any more?

>>58216700
They're limited editions m8. The third series had 50 pieces.

What's your wrist size?

Complete noob here. Used to wear a watch all the time, stopped when phones became a thing.

My current watch isn't the greatest. It's auto (I assume, as it's kinetic - please correct me if I'm wrong) but I think that's all it has going for it. The finish around the points where it meets my wrist have all flaked off and it doesn't really suit what I'm wearing (which, 99% of the time, is some combination of jeans/t-shirt/hoodie).

I'd quite like to start wearing again but some guidance would be useful. Got a budget of around £200. Black finish on face would be good. Not too bulky. Not into gold unless tastefully done. Open season on everything else.

>>58216412
It's fucking useless. No reason not to get the F105, it's basically the same price.

>>58212510
Because I'm a broke fag who just needs a timepiece for basic training

Is it worth looking at something like https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pegasuswatches/prometeo-first-affordable-italian-automatic-elegan

>>58217016
no, it's probably going to be complete shit, some of those are even outright scams

>>58216412
yeah, it is bright enough so you can use it in the dark

>>58217211

What about this?

What about the terrorist stigma?
I have heard that they were common in bombs and terrorists used them. Will I look suspicious wearing it?

>>58217278
Meme watch, get it if you absolutely cannot afford something more expensive

mine ran like 2 seconds fast a day, sold it

>>58217299
fine as long as you're white

>>58217278
It's ok, especially when you consider the price it is amazing value. The only problems would be rotor noise, which can be pretty prominent and the movement is quite antiquated

>>58217364
you meant minutes? 2 seconds a day is pretty good

>>58217364
>>58217375

Any recommendations for alternative entry level watches? Got a budget of £200.

>>58217395
20 seconds, rather

>>58217414
what kind of watch style you want? Quartz or automatic?
