Nice, been eyeing a few of those on ebay recently.

Are there any other affordable Swiss self-winding movements being used other than the:

>Sellita SW200/300/400/500
>ETA 2824
>ETA 2892
>Soprod A10

Just curious because they are all I've ever seen outside of shit like AP and Piaget.

>>58267994
Depends what you mean by affordable. Rolex and Omega, for example, have Swiss self winding movements that aren't those, and much cheaper than AP or Piaget (though I wonder how you picked out those two?)

Bullshit. This thread is for faggoty ass jewelry and it belongs in the fashion board.

Absolutely none of you give one shit about gears or drive springs so don't feed us that ' appreciation of micro engineering' shit either. Your here to talk about jewelry and wrist bands.

Fuck off back to fashion where your gay ass belongs!

>>58268027
I was thinking of the Royal Oak and the Altiplano microrotor just as examples I know off the top of my head.

Actually I should have been more specific: freely-available ebauches. Omega and Rolex will of course crop up in such conversation, alongside Nomos, but I am actually curious about the options available outside of these few common ebauches in the <5k range.

>>58268082
In terms of widely available common Swiss automatic affordable movements, how about a 7750?

I guess we're posting collections.

For 2017 I'm looking to swap out the awful leather band that came with the orient for something nicer, probably sailcloth. I also want to pick up a bit of a nicer watch to wear with a metal strap. I am pretty keen on accutrons and I'll probably look to pick up something from the accutron 2 collection by the end of the year.


Vostok without strap is amphibia with komandirskie watch face.

Accurist celestial, a rebrand of the citizen astrodea, which movement is also found in the campanola cosmosign. Quartz movement with sidereal time that rotates the background stellar disk once every 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds (or so, I forget how accurate it is. I think it's within 5 s/d of correct sidereal time) was a huge pain to track down, a huge pain to set correctly, and a huge pain to read, but very cool movement and attractive, detailed dial. There's a WUS thread with a whole bunch of info.

>>58271672

So far the plans are to sell the 66-7109, put new straps on most of the watches here, wait till the 120 case arrives, and get a a Black turtle.

>>58272270
A disposable watch (sistem 51 is completely unserviceable) for when it absolutely has to be Swiss Made. If you have to have a Swiss made automatic and can't afford a Hamilton or Tissot, and can't bear to buy a seiko 5 or orient, it's your only option in the price range, but don't expect it to last more than maybe three years.

>>58272280
>>58272296
Well then its unanimous

Any other Swiss alternatives to the seiko 5? Price range of around £150 max

>>58272497
>Any other Swiss alternatives to the seiko 5? Price range of around £150 max

Literally why?

Just get a quartz watch if you're seriously struggling for cash. Timex makes some nice looking stuff if you don't want any of the "XD I'm such a nerd" garbage that other people tend to like.

>>58272497
Are you the person from the previous thread?

Honestly if you find a sistem 51 design you like and have to have a Swiss mechanical watch, go for it, but understand it is a disposable toy (which to be honest isn't that different from a seiko 5, though the seiko will probably have a longer life, given that the swatch doesn't even have a jeweled fork, last I checked) and think hard about what you really want out of a watch - if you double your budget you can easily pick up a used Hamilton which would be much much better.

>>58272543

Happy New Year, dear anons!!!!

A few weeks ago, one of you m8s was kind enough to give me a link for a very rare Seiko that I have interest in, and in return asked me if I could show a pic of my collection.

As some of you know, my watch collection sleeps in a bank's vault so it's nowhere easy to take pics of it, starting by the fact that photographs are not allowed in that place.

However, a couple of months ago I moved from my old apartment to a place closer to my new offices and had also to move the collection to another bank's vault too, as the former one was now to far to go on a dayly basis.

So, long story short, during a weekend I had a bit more that two-thirds of my collection at home and I managed to take a nice pic of them. (Still missing, several high end and vintage, but anyway.)

Enjoy it.

I have a ticket for a nexw watch for Christmas, but I hesitate between the SARN035 and an Orient Ray (I like the sarb the most but §I also like diversity and the Orient would be my first diver).

Watcha think?

>>58274927

I think the Seiko is a better acomplished design, both case and movement. I realize the attraction divers have, but for the same reason you may better wait and be sure that's the kind of watch you want and will comfortable wear.

I'd go for the SARB.

>>58274722
But

>30 000

How can you rationalize that, even if you have money to burn?

>>58275038
The same way others here might justify a watch that's a kilobuck or two. Obviously it's a bad idea to spend several months worth of pay on one watch.

Which A.Lange & Söhne is that in the middle?

>>58275038
Ohh, my friend, my most expensive (not shown in pic, cause I took them bank to bank) are above that mark by far.

I don't rationalize spending +50k on a watch very much, or else I'd probably feel guilty as fuck and snuff myself away.

Last month I visited Africa and although I gave a 10k donation and also gifted almost all my clothes by the end of the journey, I uderstand there is so much need in this world and that it is not normal for a single person to have or spend that much money in something like a watch.

But I do have to enjoy my own life, and I love watches, so...

That's where I normally study law and develop film and print photographs, and also read books and shit.

It's unfortunate she doesn't want to continue her trainning and working as a watchmaker. I'd love the opportunity.

Thanks for putting that watch on my radar. I have a son of germans friend that would really appreciate one as a birthday gift, and it's coming soon.

What does it mean if a watch is hackable

>>58276184
Hacking refers to the seconds hand stopping when you pull out the crown to set the time.

>>58276184
means the seconds hand stop running when you pull out the crown to adjust the time

>>58276138
I already gave you a picture when you asked before

>>58276142
The cut is still there, stitches don't make cuts go away. I assume if you're the type to get stitches for your boo-boos you have, at some point, pulled one out by accident.

>>58276184

When you pull the crown (thing that adjusts time) the second hand will stop moving. So you can line up to the exact second.

Quick /wt/, what are your watch goals for 2017? I'd like a pilot watch, probably tisell. I'd also like to save for a snowfrake or maybe some JDM GS when I head to japan this summer, but I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it since I'd like to get a bike by the end of next year.

>>58274337

thanks for the input on the speedy, ill weigh all the options over the next few months

happy new year /wt/

>>58276207

It holds the cut together. If there were no stitches and I used my finger then flesh would stay open for a while. Would you leave a quarter inch cut in your finger while working with computer networks?

>>58276254

I plan to get a job, hopefully.

>>58276315
I do work with computer networks. But I assume you mean cable tech or something.

But yeah, I'd probably just use a bandage, rather than getting sutures.

Well my friend, as you know, hunting watches is a big part of the hobbie. All good fun!!

I also prefer the metal case.

what smart watch is good to get?

I have an iphone that I'm gonna pair it with and I want to be able to get it to log my sleep pattern too

currently using a fitbit but it would be nice to have additional functions like the apple watch but you have to charge it during the night and I won't be able to log my sleep pattern

>>58277375

Wait, I'm retarded. I meant to the lower right of the Chinese red dialed watch.

>>58277536

Logging your sleep pattern is useless unless it's done by an actual doctor.

You should be able to tell whether you're sleeping well or not without a smart watch.

>>58277536
Apple Watch is pretty much the only real option if you have an iPhone because everything else is so restricted by iOS. The thing charges to full in like half an hour so you could definitely charge it after you get up while you're getting ready or right before sleeping.

Pebble would be a good option too if you don't give a shit about support because the company went under.

I wish I was a trust fund babby too :'(

You gotta make a list of all your vintage pieces at some point, you have a lot of neat ones.

The GP 36,000 is a great movement, as are the Omega 56x/75xs, and the Citizen Bullheads you have.

I'm going to have to see if I can get my hands on an Omega 56x/75x this year.

I got so lucky with my King Seiko Special that I'm pretty much done with vintage Seikos short of finding a good deal on a 45xx KS or a blue sunburst 5146.

Also lucky for my fat Canadian ass, the Omega 56x/75x watches had some 37mm and 38mm variants.

When you chance upon a vintage watch that can go 14+ days running +0.0s/d, you don't part with it.

I do have a 1971 Seiko LM Special 5206 that runs ~+2s/d with a charcoal sunburst dial that I don't wear that much because it's a bit small for my tastes at 35mm, however.

The left one is the normal dial and the right is the rare racing one.

It took me a bit to find a pic of the correct dial. As you can see, the minutes subdial has blue and white stripes and the inner ring has marked seconds, no tachymeter.
The main problem is that most of these dials are aftermaket (fake) so it's quite difficult to find an original one. For example, in pic related the chronograph's seconds hand is yellow, but it should be white or metal with an orange tip also, the day and date rings should be black and the date is japanese-english; this is clearly an aftermarket dial.
Btw, Citizen never realesed that dial with an octagonal case. If you find one, that's -again- an aftermarket (fake) dial.

Most of us don't like quartz. I'm not a big fan, but I appreciate the innovation, the fact that it can be charged by natural or artificial light.

Same goes for kinetic or spring drive, btw.

Listen to the pontiff my friend. You need to save up and aim for a MOTFM, Rolex Explorer II (Polar!), or maybe a Breitling or Tudor in that pricerange.

Not a great collection but it's what I have.
I'm debating on my next purchase. A fun shitter like a Vostok or that one-hand Luch, or wait to be able to buy something that's actually good.

>>58285400
A NATO would be more comfy, but overall the stock strap is of pretty good quality. Stitching everywhere and rings to protect the holes.

>>58285453
I like the Pontiff but for entertainment only, for him a shitter is everything under Omega/Rolex, which is stupid imo. There are great watches at much lower prices.

>>58285473
It's a good start.

Just curious, why did you pick the Mako (or Ray, I'm not sure) I and not the II, which has hacking and handwinding?

>>58285538
It's a Ray, the Mako has 12-6-9 numerals on the dial and a small bezel font.
I got it before the new version was announced, so that wasn't a choice. I could use the handwinding, but I don't mind the lack of hacking and I actually like the pusher.

>>58285561
Yeah the pusher is pretty cool

>>58285481
True but it's a bit stiff, I also found that due to the rings it means the holes are too far apart so I was between holes.

A great watch but even better on a nato.

>>58285322
Yep

>>58285473
Which seiko snk is that? I dig it
If it's the own with a 36 mm diameter how are you finding that compared to whatever your wrists size is?

snk803. they're 37mm.
I have a small wrist, just above 6.5" iirc, so it fits me just about perfectly. It's a little smaller than the current fashion for bigger watches, but I'm very happy with it.
I've had it for a little over 5 years now.

>>58286256
Yeah I'm between 2 holes too.

>>58286522
I have a 809 as I love black but the 803 is the second best imo. Nice crisp cream dial.

aiight cool beans.
i only have 6 inch wrists so if it looks dope on you itll surely look dope on me. now im torn between this and the snk809. which would look vbetter with a brown leather strap?

>>58286966
You can do a google images search for "snk803 brown leather" and "snk809 brown leather" and decide for yourself.
I feel like the black watch is more versatile than the beige though. I got the 803 because I don't care for black dials myself.

That's cool, thanks for the pictures. That is interesting about the hands, I actually like the yellow better, but do prefer the tachymeter. What do you think of the Seiko 6138-8020?

>>58281007
That looks pretty neat. I bet it looks better in person with the light reflecting off the dial and whatnot. I usually see black leather on the grey recraft, but it goes surprisingly well with the green.

>>58285538
I really like the mako from an aesthetic perspective. I am tempted by the new movement, but I feel like I'm done with lower-tier divers. I might pick up a bluemo down the road though.

Well, having mentioned my 1971 Seiko LM Special 5206-6020, I decided to switch over my new leather strap to it and give it some wrist time.

>>58287783
hey nice thats super ugly

>>58267153
I also remember someone was looking for a week number watch but I don't know if he ended up with one
That was me.

There are a few snags though, like this one does not account for years with 53 weeks. There are actually some rather weird rules about when week 1 starts. It is NOT necessarily the week having the 1st of January. Instead it is the week with the first Thursday of the new year.

This has the unfortunate disadvantage that you cannot align week numbers easily with month numbers.

I am considering it as well as a Sinn 6052 Financial District watch that has a week dial but is unfortunately black.

>>58287783
yeah that style of strap doesn't fit that watch at all

>>58287783

Hey bud, can you give me the specs on that strap? Length on both sides, width, where the underside goes to (does it end at the stitch or continue), etc. I'd like to make one.

>>58287020
Do they legit last 5 years?
I'm under the impression you must've serviced it quite a bit. How accurate or precise is it

>>58288136

There's Seiko 5's from the 60s that are still running. I'd be surprised if it didn't last 5 years.

They should last longer than 5 years, I've got a vintage Seiko 5 from 1980 that has probably never been serviced. It still runs within a couple of seconds per day.

DO IT! Pick up any watch you want anon. I just came back from Japan in November and I regret not buying any watches and there were so many good looking ones to buy. Bought myself a nice cordovan leather wallet in Kyoto but damn I should have bought those watches. I truly do not know why I didn't. Fuck.

>>58288136
There are very few watches that need to be serviced more often than every 5 years...

My Opinel 8 Carbone arrived today, so now I have that and a Higonokami. What next? I'm thinking more traditional, ethnic, old-school folding knives.
I don't really want a Douk-Douk, the bloody history of that knife in Algeria kinda creeps me out (though I do have two bin-laden terrorists).

Knives are almost like watches so they belong here.

Thinking about getting one of these this year, they're quite affordable relatively speaking and the finishing looks very nice. SARK005 is also a possibility but I don't really like the chrono second hand.

>>58288608
The dial is actually gold, it doesn't really show in the picture.

I imagine it's worth the thick end of fuck all. It's a 37 year old mass produced, entry level automatic. It cost me less than £10 on a very worn gold plated bracelet.

>>58288830
It is very nice, there's something about a domed acrylic crystal that's very comfy. It's so much nicer on the perlon than the shitty gold plated bracelet it came on.

>>58288791
You pretty much have the cool history folding knives, unless the spanish Navaja or french Laguiole interest you. If you want ethnic and useful, get a great handmade Kukrhi. If you want just plain nice and useful, CRK Sebenza (large or small depending on use). Or if you want more classic start a Case/GEC/Queen collection.

>>58288839
Whats the model number on those?

>>58288938
SDGZ017 and 019

>>58288946

CRK is literally the Panerai of folding knives and you should be deeply ashamed of having said anything positive about one.

Top left what watch is that? And fucking loving the strap.

Btw cool to see another knife guy- just picked up my first classic slipjoint, a case peanut. Love it after a quick reprofile and waterstone sharpening. Was more of a Becker guy up till now
