Friendly reminder that its supposed to be a disposable movement/watch. If after 30 years it starts running like shit you bin it and get a new one, just like you would with a Seiko 5.

>>58880119
$150 is a bit much for a disposable watch. That and it doesn't take 30 years to run like shit when it runs like shit out of the box.

You should make a pastebin for recommended ranges and models.

After looking for a nice quartz moon phase watch I've ordered pic related last night. R8 pls.

>inb4 quartzshit

Moon phase is one of the few complications that totally justifies a quartz. And it's a Swiss Ronda, I guess it's not that shit.
Thinking about removing the seconds hand myself if the ticking triggers me visually though.

>>58882087
Ronda are pretty good movements, I've got a watch with one and since I last set it when the clocks went back it has lost a total of 0.5 seconds.

>>58881524
I didn't know so much work went into my 30dollar beauty. How cheap is Russian labour?

>>58882087
I'm glad you found your watch finally but I must admit those numerals make it look like a toy from a Happy Meal. I hope its better in person

>>58882177
Consider that Vostoks are only priced low so that Russian laborers can afford them.

>>58882087
>>58882215
Since you keep begging for attention, I agree. It looks like something you'd find on Aliexpress for $5. Granted, Ruhla was never about high quality. Hopefully in person it doesn't look like such shit and you get a real strap for it. It will probably run fine.

>Also I love how the date changes. It's nearly instantaneous.

Yeah it better be for that fucking price.

>>58884006
>It's nearly instantaneous.
I saw high-speed footage by Seiko of it on YT. It might as well be considered instantaneous.

>>58884040

It was around $1800 total.

I figured what I pay upfront will be saved in not having to pay an arm and a leg to service it every 3 years, as I probably would with a spring drive/snow flake.

We'll see.

Also the accuracy that I've seen so far on this watch is just as advertised. Temperatures where I am have swung by 30 degrees in the past few days and the god damn thing is still at 0+/-. Fits perfectly on my wrist l, and feels quite solid. Like it could last a lifetime.

I sold a Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope to get this. It's a step up imhof

Best Bauhaus watches for $350 or less? Not looking for clones or used.

>>58882087
Where did you buy this?

Where can you browse all Vostoks? I need a new one and want to see their entire lineup

>>58883401

Between about 1959 and the late 1980s, the two Seiko factories operated as independent competitors that did not share parts, movements, or R&D, but did share marketing resources.

While Suwa developed Grand Seiko branding, and Daini developed the King Seiko line, eventually both produced models in each line.

What bears noting is that Daini's movement designs tended to be technically superior, including one of the greatest volume produced hand-winding high beat movements of all time (the 45xx line that ended the Swiss chronometer trials), one of the best volume produced chronograph movements (the 701X), one of the greatest series produced 28,800 bph autos ever (the 52xx), and the only ladies sized 36,000 bph movement ever produced.

Personally I also happened to prefer Daini's styling to Suwa's, but that is a matter of taste.

I should have rather bought him something more expensive instead and kept the goddamn watch, fuck.

let's say i want a milanese strap, should it match the clock;s body color (silver+silver), or it can be also black ? I think it would be not so good looking (black milanese on silverish body), but can't find photos, maybe because it's an atrocity!

Thoughts on pic related as a first auto?
Some questions I have are..
Is the bezel fixed and is the bracelet removable

>>58885006
>s the bezel fixed and is the bracelet removable
Yes on both.


It's good if you're an ultra poorfag and really want an auto watch. But I wouldn't expect great accuracy (at all) and once the oil dries up it's not worth the cost of servicing so you either have to do it yourself (good luck) or just toss it.

>>58885810
Heard good things about Seiko Solars and Eco-Drives. Kinetics used to have reliability issues, don't know about the more recent models since people tend to avoid them because of their past. Their capacitors used to fail, and to replace them you have to take the rotor off.

It's like you stuck an average watch up your ass, made an ad on craigslist for an all male gang bang, had 30 dudes wreck your asshole and fill you up with their loads, tossed some food dyes into your gaping ass, then had the 30 dudes fuck you again, and the finally shat that out as a result.

My plan is to 3d print this for example, make a silicon form. After that i will put my watch.
The hard part is i don't know where to get nice mechanism (eta probably) and case with glass.My dream is to make absoulty custom watch from the begging included metal case (triangle as Hamilton watch) and face.

>>58889597

You may be able to grab a 9015, but otherwise the only place I can say for sure that you can grab an intact, and functional movement, would be from Vostok.

That's Vostok Europe. Entirely different designs, entirely different facilities.

>>58889645
Are you high? It literally says Boctok at the end. Regardless, Vostok Europe doesn't even make movements that's why they import from Vostok and others, so why would they have equipment to do so?

dont even go to frei. just get a new movement from ebay.

the customer almost never gets fucked. if you cry to ebay wanting a refund because the movement looked at you funny they will refund it. Just make sure its brand new.

In that case the seaforth is 12mm to the top of the sapphire dome, which means the case itself is around 9-10mm tall. 41mm diameter with the rotating bezel, and 47mm lug to lug. Unless you have literal girl wrists it should be small enough.

Otherwise, go vintage.

I held a Steinhart Ocean One Titanium that belongs to one of the sales managers at work today. It feels pretty nice in the hand, plus I found out he's a fellow enthusiast and we had a nice conversation about tuning forks, nice sweeping seconds hands etc.

I told another guy at work his watch was shit, he said he wants a new one so I advised him to get a SARB or SARX. His watch is some dogshit ugly Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Not quite. They're both tuning fork watches. The accutron runs at 360 Hz, and the Ultronic (and the Omega version as well) run at 300Hz. The tuning fork in the ESA 9162 is shaped differently (more symmetric) to make it more immune to shocks, and the index wheel was redesigned.

Lurk /wt/ and watchuseek /f29/. Be able to identify every watch posted; if you can't, google it and learn about it. That's a pretty good start.

The tuning fork has a little arm attached to it that controls what is basically an escape wheel; as the fork moves in and out, the arm allows the escape wheel to advance.

I've showered with it a few times as a test and it's been fine.

What I have done though is bash the face off of some iron chairs a few times and I'm astonished it hasn't scratched it.

>tudor fake

it's not a real watch, it's a fake of another watch, there is no telling if it would even survive a trip to the swimming pool

What puzzles me about this watch is the fact that Diesel (or their designer) thought that a 30 meter water resistance is a merit to print on the dial. What the fuck.

For me, getting a diver is a non-brainer really, given my line of work. I work as a roadie/tech, so I need to have a watch that can stand a beating plus it has to be totally submersible because of where I live. Its pretty much just nice to know that your watch can withstand whatever you throw at it.

>>58906247
What model would you recommend?

>>58906681
Anyone buying that thing doesn't know what water resistance means on a watch

>30 meters? that's like 200 feet, right?
