Got outbid at the last second on the speedsonic. 1600 GBP was already pushing the limit on what I was willing to spend on that particular piece anyway. Oh well.

Speaking of which, Omega didn't swap dials between refs at all did they? This one on chrono24 claims to be a NOS ref 188.001, but that ref is a lobster case. That and no cushion case speedsonic I can find had a mirror dial. Is someone just trying to pass off a frankenwatch as NOS?

>>59008524
Nomos does not have mainstream appeal. If they did I'm sure you'd see a bunch of Micheal Kors and shit mimicing it.
>>
still rocking a seiko snk 5 but it's accuracy dropped so much that I'm thinking about benching it as my local watch shop doesnt want to demagnetize it for me for some reason

what should i get next? I am skinny and the snk5 head size is perfect for my bony wrist. I also want one with a timer or some sort since I want to use it to time my breaks when I am working at a call center.
>>
>>59008433

There are a lot of people who really have no idea how much investment spending is required to develop the capacity to design and manufacture complete movements, and as a result think that Nomos' watches have gotten more expensive solely due to being shilled on watch blogs.

Ironically, its precisely their attitude that encourages the proliferation of mushroom microbrands sourcing Chinese cases and Miyota 9015s to hawk for $500-$750 a pop to get that easy money.

Daini King Seiko purchase attempt #2. I just won an auction for a 5256 (pic related), this time directly from Japan. My first attempt (on Ebay) was an over-polished 5246-6010 that I couldn't get to run better than -15 sec/day, even after more than $200 in service fees and replacing the balance assembly with an NOS one. Ended up flipping it at a loss. Fingers crossed on this one.

You paid considerably more than I would have, but from the pics the case appears to be entirely unpolished, which is a real plus.

As long as the movement isn't fucked, it should work out well for you. Make sure you take it to a vintage watch expert for service, and FYI you can replace the crystal with a generic sapphire crystal if you want (I did on mine).
>>
Any recommendations?

> Had a Tissot Le Locle that got stolen
> Had some reasonably cheap Seiko Chrono which lasted years but recently broke

I loved the Tissot, it felt so nice. Loved automatic too. Unfortunately cannot afford it now. Would go up to perhaps $350 USD.

Any opinions? I prefer minimalistic watches, always had metal bands, although open to suggestions.

I prefer good build quality over all else.

Nah, I love acrylic crystals, especially when it's period correct. Easy to polish with Polywatch. Yeah, I'll need to find a good watchmaker that services vintage Seikos in Los Angeles. When I took the last one to my usual guy, he admitted that it was literally his first vintage Seiko.
If this one works out, I'm gonna sell my SARX019 to add to the Speedy fund.

Yes, they do.
The design is certainly something that would appeal to the mainstream.
Mainstream appeal, does not mean that everybody can afford it, nor can justify that much money on a watch, it simply means it appeals to the mainstream.
My best guess is that, of all the somewhat high-end watches, NOMOS would be one of the brands with the highest likability in a mainstream section of the population.

Today I have been gifted an Amphibia from my gfs mothers partner. Needless to say I won't turn down a free watch.

It seems to be holding good time, but is missing the lume on the minute hand and has a double dot indice on the 2 mark, I'm guessing that's an error.

I'm not sure on the date but I I'm guessing earlier 90s? Maybe late 80s? Did all Vostoks pre 1991 have CCCP written on them or are there some exceptions?

Peak performance is to have your sleeve barely covering the bead(s), watch lying gently on the wrist bump. Dial must be quite large; otherwise the position would be too low. The watch has to be on the wrist bump to allow bending of wrist without knocking the back of your hand into the crown. Beads have to be there, so the watch doesn't look too big if you have only a T-shirt on.

I got this one piece leather strap off Etsy and it's by far my favorite strap I've tried so far. The original metal bracelet is a bitch as my wrist swells up and then deflates like a bitch throughout the day, making it perpetually uncomfortable with no solution, and NATO straps make it ride too high on the wrist.

This is a nice, soft leather that keeps the watch tucked down onto the flat of my wrist and it gives Explorer II a slightly more dressy vibe (or at least tones down the "sportyness") with it's rich burgundy color.

It's a very useful complication as the water-resistence meter immediately starts going down in proportion to how long it senses it has been underwater.

Because the 5256-8010 takes a simple flat crystal, a generic sapphire crystal of the same dimensions will fit.

Serious question, how should one wear a watch properly(behind the bone) if you're not a literal skeleton, like literally, you have to be <50kgs that the bone would protrude so much as to actual stop the watch, or do you have to strangle your wrist so much that bloodflow would stop just so your watch would stay in one place, as mine can fairly freely(if the weather isn't very hot) slide from where the hand starts to behind the bone

Why do people hate Invicta?

They produce a $100 watch with a seiko movement that's accurate to 2 seconds a day, manual winds and is hackable.

I use it as a benchmark. Every watch that costs $100 should be this good or better. And a lot of $100 watches come up short.

There's watches that cost 3 times as much without hacking and watches that cost 10 times as much that have the same or worse timing stats over 24 hours.

>Rolex Submariner or Speedy as a watch to pass down to kids?
Can't go wrong with either.I like the Speedmaster a bit better though as it's less ubiquitous.

Neat. I'm curious if the 8200A is a predecessor to the miyota 8215.

Serious question:

What's the difference between leaving it running and using it properly until the clutch breaks? Either way you don't have a functional chronograph.

I like the speedmaster better too but isn't buying a speedmaster also buying a commitment to have an $800 service bill every 2 years?
>>
>>59025889
It shouldn't be 800 dollars. And watches are generally serviced every 5 years (although the first service is often recommended to come early, maybe 3.)

But both Swatch (omega) and Rolex do what they can to fuck up the service model and kill/drive costs in independent service market.

You won't find one. I was looking last week, it'll probably be expensive. Iirc there's places with the othercolors still around.

There's one on eBay for 1k Canadian. Also its from Thailand
>>
>>59026641
Didn't see that. Not even remotely worth it
>>
>>59026655
Looks like it was recently posted. Unless you're that autistic about Japan it's no where close to that value. Where did you see the other colors in stock?

Yo fatso, try putting down the fork once in a while.

My Seiko 5 that I regulated runs better, congrats. Watch accuracy is the biggest meme, it shouldn't even matter

so how much do you adjust your strap? do you let it slide a little or tighten it in place (without cutting blood circulation)?
