Still awaiting some watches, and a nato for my Ray.

The perlon is comfy, though the buckle is potmetal tier.

>>58453762
It's almost 2big4u, but it seems to wear fine.

Though it being a 2nd gen pre-prospex Monster i'm assuming you paid between 175~200 for it?

>>58453782
Yeah, in that range. I really didn't want that Prospex logo.

It's pretty comfy. I was thinking of getting a super-engineer, but I think I won't. I already forget I'm wearing it.

I did. Everything else looked correct and I didn't notice the crystal looked off until it was pointed out to me.

Although I was admittedly too trusting of an established jewelry store/watch shop especially because they're selling fucking Patek Philippe watches.

Just get an OVM m8.
Granted it doesn't have a date window and the indices and hands are closer to peach than yellow. But it's not black at the very least.

Also.
>Ocean Black
>OVM hands
Yeh no. Thought the hands looked off-shade, double checked the site.

https://www.steinhartwatches.de/en/diver-watch/ocean-black-dlc.html


Steinmeme are small enough to where they can't justify massive prices, which is why they're a bargain, but they also tend to be well built (I recall one anon having a bad time with his fliegar) They're quality movements (Though base ETA, they're still good) I mean, where else do you find an Elaboré pattern 2824-2 within €500? Or anything with comparable accuracy.

If you don't treasure the date window, get an OVM.
If you want the date window, grab an Ocean1 GMT or a Titanium 500 or something.

>>58454313
Every review says they're good though.

>>58454375
Every review says they're great quality, and they're not wrong. If you can look past the objective "Muh homage" meme, there's not much wrong with them beside the usual niggling that someone will find on every watch.

I'm well aware, I have an OVM 2.

Personally I find "coated" watches to look god awful, I'd say go for the Ocean Black unless you're really set on the DLC. Domed sapphire shouldn't be the make or break here. More so how the watch will look in everyday wear.

>>58454482

>>58454564
Their original designs are getting there, slowly.

The Military 42 has potential to develop.

Titanium 500 is spot on.

Their Fliegar and infantry pattern watches are as expected, the same as every other Fliegar and infantry watch in existence right now.

The defining feature of a submariner, are the hands. You take those away, a watch is just another maxi-dial diver.

If we want to argue MaxiDial=Sub clone, then Seiko have been ripping off rolex for years.

Fucking THIS. The Military 42 is a cartoonishly garish oversized Invicta like take on the genre and the Titanium 500 has hands that prove that Steinshit's designers literally have no idea what watch design elements belong to which genre. Those hands have no business on a diver, they should be on a modern pilot's watch as made by Sinn or Damasko.

>>58454729
>if they throw the dial
This is the biggest problem I've got with it right now, the big, out of place *MILITARY* right there, and the dark red 24 hour time around the very outside. I could stand the 24 hour on the exterior of the dial if it were in white and maybe even lumed.
The dial text could be less soviet though, soften some corners here and there.

>hands
I actually quite like the hands, not the conventional cathedral hands.

>and crown away
Could cut the crown down a bit, agree 100%. But frankly that goes for nearly all infantry or "military" pattern watches, they all tend to fuck up the crown.

>and shave some material off the case.
The lugs don't seem too long, and the case seems relatively slim overall. Honestly not sure what the problem with the case is.

>>58454756
>The defining feature of a submariner, are the hands
It's as if 50 years of "Oyster Perpetual" marketing has entirely passed you by. The reason why the maxi-case was so controversial is because it ruined the proportions of the ONLY constant feature of a Rolex Submariner, and that's the CASE. Rolex themselves have used different hands.

Steinhart's Ocean 1 shares with the Rolex Submariner;

>frontal case profile
>side case profile
>lug design
>indices design (both minutes, and 12, and 3, 6, 9, and the rest, every fucking one)
>dial layout (including specification printing)
>bezel-edge design
>bezel-insert markings
>bezel-insert font

Don't compare Seiko to Steinhart. Seiko are one of the most innovative watch manufacturers on the planet, Steinhart barely have the capability to modify escapements that someone else designed.

Now let's take that list, and mark off what is similar between the Titanium 500 (What we are discussing) and the Sub range.

>Lug design

No body looks at a Titanium 500 and says

>>58454989
>Honestly not sure what the problem with the case is.
I just really don't like cases which are straight-cut above 12 and 6. It makes the lugs look like an after-thought.

I like the hands, but I don't think cathedral hands work on a "military" watch.

>>58455153
>I just really don't like cases which are straight-cut above 12 and 6
I'm not sure I follow. Care to elaborate?

>>58455175
>>58455153

Scrap that. I get it now.

Honestly I'm quite the opposite about there being no curvature to the lug innards. I personally can't stand it to where I replace a bracelet with a strap, and there's an obnoxious gap between the strap and the case. The straight cut sort of reduces this. With Hirsch straps especially.

>>58455107
>No body looks at a Titanium 500 and says
>>Hey nice Role-Oh, wait. Sorry.
That's because nobody who owns a Titanium 500 is anyone's bro.

It's looks like your hand just detached from your arm and is being kept in position by the watch. Do you need a sandwich?

Apart from that, nice Hamilton m8.

Can't decide myself between the Ray II and the Mako II.

Orient owners: what do you think? Why did you choose one over the other?

Is the watch hobby a pathological obsession to fill a hole in our soul?

>>58455805
That's all any hobby is

>>58455772
Got the Ray mainly because of the small font on the bezel the Mako has. I think it just looks ridiculous.
I slightly prefer the Mako's hands, and the dials are both fine. But the bezel was the deal breaker.

>>58456180
I have to take a more "normal" pic of the watch, where the texture doesn't look so exagerated. The opaque parts are made of solid silver, while the translucent section is made from some kind of crystal. It is that way because the numerals are lumed, and GG wanted them to be charged by time they were moved into position.

Takes a lot of time. I'm a (depraved) Catholic but I can tell you that I've seen my bro and his gal take a whole year seeing a priest, learning to know each other and to know what they where committing to and it's beautiful know (divorces percentages are 50% in Paris, my city, so we'll see).

If you're not religious you can do without that formally, but you can't do without that in reality, even if it's a secular version of learning and discovering what this commitment is.

The SKX has a bulkier, tool like design while the Orient's have a different design. The Mako can be considered an original design, while the Ray is basically half Mako half Submariner homage. Besides the aesthetics, the bezel on the SKX is easier to grip and to use, but the Ray/Mako MK.ll have a better stock bracelet.

Both have options for Strapcode bracelets, better variety on the SKX though. Both have excellent lume.

The Ray/Mako Mk.ll have the excellent F69 movement which is better than the 7S26. I like the feel on the SKX's crown a bit more, but that's because i have fat rough fingers.

Does it feel cheaper? Only on the bezel feels slightly cheaper, even if it's also a 120click. And the newer crown feels a bit more roough in comparison to the MK.l's

T.b.h he is not that bad of a youtuber, just raging turboautists complain about stupid shit like the sqwaaale meme.
All his videos are very informative and entertaining and he also seems to be kind of humble about his knowledge since he's doesn't know everything about watches (and neither do we) and tries to learn more and more as he prepares himself for his reviews.
I also like the fact he appreciates brands like Seiko and Citizen, while other elitistic watch reviewers on YouTube don't give these brands a chance.
I just find him a bit cringey when he talks about the "gentry culture" and his wannabe aristocratic attitude because of his great great uncle, who was most likely a total nobody.

From someone asking on reddit about a similer watch...

Description: Special navigation wrist watch with 65 mm case for the Artillry Measuring Battery (M-B) of the Waffen-SS, supplied to the 'SS Führungshauptamt'. Movement cal 48.1 with central second. Dial printing 'W-SS M-B' with roman numerals, 1/5 sec indication with Arabic numerals 5-55 and as well in mirrored numerals.

Application: In 1940 the offices of the Waffen-SS ordered Lange & Söhne, to develop an observation watch for measuring purposes with stop function for the second hand and 1/5 sec luminous indication. This led to this large diameter of the dial. For negative photographic the seconds should additional be mirrored. A few letters by Lange to the SS indecates this. After some first items in silver case there should be supplied 10 watches per month starting in march 1941.

The mirrored indication shows the use in a navigation instrument and for easier recognition on negative film. The instrument where it was used in is still not identified, though I spent much time for the research in a lot of German archives. The watch was not really designed for wearing at the wrist, maybe only for safe transport. Maybe these informations was all confiscated by the allies at warend.

Bought a watch with the ETA 2804-2 movement, new, shipped from Italy.

Wound it, seconds hand moved for a few ticks then full stop. It just died literally right out of the box.

Did I do something wrong? wtf happened?

>>58460855

It's going to be a pain in the ass to return it.

I bought it with the intention of it being a daily beater because it's a cheap mechanical. I guess you get what you pay for.

>>58462396

How much did you wind it? Did you break it?

>>58466167

All my watches are mechanical so I'm familiar with how to treat them. When I took it out of the box it was out of power, so I simply have the crown a few turns, there was no resistance.

I pulled the crown to position 2 to change the time, pushed it back to 0, but still nothing.

Hands don't appear to be misaligned or anything.

I don't hear any rattling in the case either.

The pictures make this watch look so much better than it actually does irl. sad

So, a question wt:
How many moving parts does your most complicated watch has on the dial???

For example the Speedmaster MOTM has 6:
3 main hands
3 subdial hands

I use an Apple Watch

>>58466900

It's not a photo, it's a shoop. They're going to make it look as good as they possibly can in a promo shot.

>>58467044
3 hands, day and date

>>58467076
Someone should tell that to Seiko.

>>58467099

The speedmaster is their bread and butter so of course they're going to spend money on the best marketing they can get.

>>58467120
My point is that Seiko has terrible promo shots. All their watches look cheap in the official pictures.

>>58467133

The finishing and quality etc. is about seiko SARB-tier.
If that. SARB cases are arguably more intricately finished with different brushings and polishings.

It's the design itself that's so very good.

>>58467133

My point is Seiko has hundreds of models. They don't care about their inexpensive promo shots.

>>58467192
but they fucking should, you retard
do you think they make half of their money on fucking credors

>>58467217

I didn't say they shouldn't.

>>58467133
Most brands have terrible promo shots desu.

So many high-end Casios like OC anuses look absolutely incredible, even the Edifice range has some dank models with many different textured elements that shine like crazy under natural light, and all those watches which appear overly complicated with busy dial on pictures suddenly become highly readable.

>Is that SKX really larger than the Turtle?
no. it does look larger in that pic though

i just held them bezel to bezel and the SRP is slightly larger. maybe a mm at the most.

>>58468746
The turtle is wider but has very short lugs

>>58468746
The SKX is closer to the camera since it's resting on the bracelet

>>58468794

If any brand puts "since eighteen-something" anywhere in their branding, or worse their finished product, you just know it's some rootless mutt company with a name brought back from the dead. No exceptions, whether it's watches or beer.

>>58468825
If your brand is that old yet people don't know it, it's probably shit.
Brands that are old and good don't need to do that.

>>58468216
Surely DHL will deliver it to you without involving the local post service?

>>58468838
People don't care nor need to know how old a brand is, what matters is the current product. Most people know that many good old brands have went to shit, whether it's cars, corn flakes, whatever. Putting some ancient date on the branding is the marketing departments attempt to squeeze a few more percentages in on product sales, of something that they know can't survive on the market on it's own (i.e. without a marketing campaign).

I have an awesome antique pocket watch from c.1800 - sorry for the shit res photos, (feel free to request more, detailed ones), but does anyone know anything about it, including price/quality info?

>>58468919
That sure as fuck isn't 200 years old.

>>58468919
Winding stems were invented around 1845.

I'm going on what I've been told; but good to know, I'm more of a newbie to this kind of thing. Can you say any more about this kind of thing?

>>58469017
More like turn of the last century, but nothing can be said for sure until you post better pictures.

NH35A automatic hacking movement
Caseback
Accurate
Extremely good value for money.

Not even the SKX007 has a hacking movement.

>>58469260
damn it has a caseback???? wow

>Not even the SKX007 has a hacking movement.
most tourbillons don't either

>>58469260
>Not even the SKX007 has a hacking movement.
the SRP does.
it seems like a pretty nice watch.
chapter ring is off center a little bit, but not as much as the SKX
i like my SKX a lot, but QC on that model seems like a joke.

>>58469299
You know for all you pay or your rolexes, they don't go any faster.

>>58469059
It's like they couldn't decide whether to rip of a Sub or a Seamaster so just ripped off both.

>>58469348
why do people who buy doghsit always fall back on this excuse
there are hundreds of watches cheaper than that dogshit that are way better

>>58469341
I like the SKX too. As well as the invicta, I've got an Orient Mako and a Vostock Amphibia.

Out of the 3 I prefer the Invicta as it is the most accurate. It probably won't last as long as the others, but it's pretty comfy.

>>58469383
You get that line from Archieluxury...

Which just about reflects your mentality.

>>58469448
but i never watched a video from that guy

>>58467184
Yup, it would be Holy Grail status if it had Rolex finishing, the one Watch to rule them all

Now its just another homage to the real moon watch.

It's cool then.

omegabro come back and post a pic of your treasures

I've just found out that my gf has an old Zarya mechanical watches. It's made in 1967 and still working, jeez. Also its case made of 585 gold.

Thoughts on the new Tudor Black Bay, metal bracelet, red bezel, in house mov. with 70h power?

I just want to go to a store and get it

The older ETA with vintage leather is the most price concious option, but leather is not that great feeling.

>>58467120
>The speedmaster is their bread and butter
In that case who don't they update it to more contemporary tech and complications?? they are still stuck in 1957.

>>58466616
Way too busy. Also suffer the 311 syndrome. Apertures had been far tidier, leaving a larger subdial for the Moonphase.

>>58470141
But they do...

They've done one of the nicest ceramic cases. Not exactly an easy feat. But now we're looking at speedmasters that retail over 10k.

>>58470138
The new one is a better value for sure, but I think it looks worse.
The in-house movement is a lot better, and the bracelet is slightly better. But it's thicker, has more lines on the bottom of the dial (and no curved line), and the removed the rose logo at 12 for the stupid shield - but left the rose on the crown.
I'd love to have a black bay, but I'd choose the ETA one.

>>58470138
You sure you won't regret not saving for the rollie?

>>58470303
Rolex don't make something like the Black Bay.

>>58470362
that's for sure

>>58470303

Not a matter of saving up

>>58470285

Thanks, havent had a closer look, except for the rolex syndrome of having too much text on the dial.

>>58470404
Ok.

I went Tudor once, didn't do it for me, and resale was terrible. but it is what it is.

The in house movement is nice but yeah.

What are you wearing

Ceramic cases were routine for Rado watches decades ago. Really, is this what counts as "innovation" at Omega!?

>>58470804

I looked at Rado almost ten years ago.


Too girly

>>58470804
1) No one used the word innovation
2) Rado cases can't even begin to compare.

So what?? Feel free to find a better synonym but really, I thought most in this discussion were bright enough to know what I meant.

>2) Rado cases can't even begin to compare.
Go on, please.

>>58471006
You literally put quotes around innovation.

>>58471112
Scarce quotes, it is called.

>>58471017
Wow, those look a lot better in this photo. In the first one it looked like almost like generic chinkshit, but it looks a bit cleaner here. I do prefer the other two since they have some semblance of a dial.
