Honestly I'd go for a Rolex for a first luxury watch but the El Primero is a top notch choice.

I absolutely love the lacquer dial ones.

Buying

>>59129699
Because I'd rather that watch than a big mac at Mcdonalds and they cost the same.

>>59129573

Here's another one that's almost ending http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Seiko-Quartz-Type-2-7123-watch-Made-in-Japan-1978-/182462739343?hash=item2a7ba0738f:g:TUkAAOSw4CFYrF4J

To ebay correctly: Decide how much you want to spend on the item, not the lowest you want to get the item for, assign a value in your head you are happy to bid. Say $50. Wait until 10 seconds till the end and then big $50 even if the item is only at $10.

You will win the item, or if you lose the item you wont be sad as you've driven up the price for someone else, and it's gone for more money than you wanted to pay.

Why do old seiko quartz watches tick between the indacies and not on them?

Is there a reason why women's watches usually don't have a second hand?

>>59129829
They usually do.

>>59129780
Yeah, that's the other one I was talking about.

But I got a second chance on the first one (pic related), since the highest bidder seems to have dropped out.

$45 with shipping, cop or not? Movement is 4336.

>>59129815
All quartz watches are like that if you don't reset the seconds hand correctly. Which might be tricky considering the rotor at the other end of the gear train isn't really stopped from rotating by anything.

BTW, since el primero has come up, one other place to look for the El Primero movement is in older Movados.

This sold earlier this month
http://chronocentric.com/forums/chronotrader/index.cgi?page=1;md=read;id=64208

Zenith made the El Primero available to Movado and Movado made the Movado 408 available to Zenith. Both are actually 36,000 beat movements.

So this watch here is a Zenith using the Movado movement.

>>59129780
Your plan is not very good.
If another anon follows the same idea, and bids $40, the anon who bid $50 will pay $40 + an increment.

>>59129988
That's an amount he is happy to pay though.

>>59130016
Oh.. My bad. For some reason I thought it said that he only wanted to pay $10, but the anon told him to just set his maximum bid to $50.
Read it again, and can see I was wrong, haha.

>>59129915
>not the snk809

I shiggy diggy

>>59129988
I bid odd amounts so I wouldn't bid $50 I'd bid $51.78 dollars.

But if it went for $60 I'd not care as it's $10 more than I wanted to pay.

>>59129848
sounds fair

You can't call yourself a horology enthusiast till you own at least one vintage quartz seiko.

What watch has more horological significance than a watch that destroyed the industry?

>>59130091
Yet you don't own an Astron.

can you "polish" brushed steel? As in get scratches out but not make it shiny by polishing too much

>>59130132
If you need scratches out you just rebrush it.

>>59130132
why remove scratches?

>posts same picture of GS 9f3 +/-0s

Is there a good way for removing all the congealed skin in all the small nooks in an old watch?

It's fucking shameful we should even have to worry about it. If Seiko is assembling those parts by machine it's not hard to make a robot that can align parts with an extremely high degree of precision using a camera. If it's being done by people it's even worse as not only is that something easily automated but a human can see it's fucking wrong right then.

>>59130761
What's the indicator in the bottom right hand corner? Looks like radio waves or something, can this thing set itself by an atomic clock?

>>59130795
>>59130813

It's the only LCD digital watch ever produced with solar charging, radio atomic sync, electroluminescent backlight, stainless steel case, and stainless steel bracelet with solid links and solid end links.

They are hard to find now and not cheap (I paid $180 plus shipping for this one from Yahoo! Japan Auctions), but they are the best LCD quartz watch ever made. The model number is SBPG001 or S760-0AA0.

The icon in the bottom right corner shows how strong the radio signal reception was at last sync. One other neat feature is that the watch continues to display the running time while in the alarm, chrono and timer modes.

>>59130034
This is how you win auctions. Even doing $51.02 will make a huge difference sometimes

Anon that wanted to make a review channel here
I have about 5 or 6 episodes thought out. No bullshit 20 minute reviews, just 5 or 10 minute humorous video about the watch and the type of person that wears it.
Maybe an in detail follow up

But most importantly:
>No shitty Aussie/britbong/whatever other sub-human accent
>No fucking white gloves
>No hands at all really, just panorama shots in various angles to how off the watch and movement if possible
>No bullshit heritage
>No skwaleee/MOTM shilling
>No fatrico

Still need to get audio/video equipment and find a place to record.
Can't really do it at home because it's always too noisy, so I'm thinking about doing it in my car.

My BIGGEST problem though is that most of my watches are Casio's, Seikos and various other cheap watches. No idea if people are even going to be interested.
Still don't know how I'm going to solve that, buying better watches isn't really possible right now sadly.

Any suggestions watchbros?

>>59129431
I have a couple of 18mm watch bands. What are some good work watches I can put on them? Water resistance to an unassisted swimming depth, a good lume, and a central second hand are essential, a unidirectional bezel would be a plus.

That's a great idea, as long as it's in 1080p with decent lighting it wouldn't matter too much.

I would love to get some Steinhart owners to donate some clips
I would totally give the watches "positive" reviews..

>>59132088
That's gonna need an adaptor of some kind.
Lesson #1 in buying watches with weird lugs, make sure the strap option is one you can live with.
The only watch with fucked up lugs that I could live with is the Aquis, and obviously the Gerald Genta watches like the Offshore

I like it a lot, although it's rather thick for my taste. I've worn it almost every day since I got it. Accuracy is very good on average, I'm only 6 seconds off from the last time I did a watchcheck measurement 11 days ago. Chrono feels awesome, there's a very satisfying click when starting or stopping.

>>59133703

The case/dial/bracelet quality are WAY above a SARB plus double A/R coated sapphire crystal and Diashield on the case and bracelet for scratch resistance.

>>59133966
Push the little button you pressed to get it out whilst installing it again, if it won't go in you may have to reinstall the winding cog as it may have been knocked out of alinement.

>>59133966
You have to be pushing down the button when putting it in. Then release when it is fully in.

Should it be quite cheap to have a 1980s quartz seiko serviced? I'd also like the second hand realigned so it doesn't fall between the indacies

Bracelets are the best.

That being said, you generally don't buy a watch for the bracelet/strap it comes on, assuming straps are attached to it in the standard way you just put what you want on there.

>>59133966
>>59134112

Don't forget rotating the crown while pushing it in so it doesn't get stuck at the sliding pinion and you force everything apart.

Accurate Celestial, a rebrand of the citizen astrodea, also in the campanola cosmosign. A quartz powered watch with sidereal time that shows sunrise, sunset, and the stars visible from 35N. (also a more common 50N version targeted at Japan/Europe).

It's fine but kind of blocky/chunky in person. Try to see it in person or see lots of pictures from different angles. If you care, it also screams that you bought the absolute cheapest Swiss watch. People here will tell you to consider the Seiko SARB at that price point and they're not wrong.

Jazzmaster I think is a lot nicer. You can get much nicer dials and case profiles in the jazzmaster line, though I think they'll generally be a touch more expensive. Of course, if you're planning to change the hands on the visodate, that is NOT a cheap undertaking.

The case finishing on the Tissot is bottom of the barallel in my experience. It also IS the cheapest Swiss watch, and anyone familiar with the brand will know.

>>59135297
It's fine. Just nothing fancy.

Many many years ago I stumbled across someone selling a vintage Omega Speedmaster on eBay who was apparently unaware that the one they were selling had the highly sought after Lemania 5100 movement. As such, the movement was mentioned nowhere in the listing and thus no one scoping out Lemania 5100 Speedmasters found the listing (other than me).

I got it for $400 USD. An absolute robbery, even then.

At that price point and quartz, consider citizen. They have a number of reasonably finished quartz watches, though you'll have better luck if you can stretch to the 225-275 range.

It's quartz....

All the money not spent on the movement can be spent on the finish.

Look at the vintage Seiko's mentioned ITT, which you might be able to get around that price. If you're lucky.

But no, all the new 9F quartz movements from Seiko are in the thousands of dollars.

You should educate yourself, just because a watch is quartz doesn't mean it's using some cheap ass miyota shit. Only a retard dismisses it as inferior.

Alright, I'm going to post about this just because I feel like it has been a long time since I mentioned it, and some of the people here probably don't know, but might light to know.

If you're liking the idea of having a quality, thermocompensated quartz watch, maybe you even longingly look at the 9F quartz grand seikos but feel like you can't afford it, as they're around 2k MSRP, there are other options. Seiko has the 8J thermocompensated quartz movement. They're very nice and accurate (the same +/- 10 seconds a year you see on the 9F,) just doesn't have all of the features of the 9F, and don't get put in watches of quite the same quality of a GS (which means lower cost.)

So you're going to find the 8J movements in the Credor line but also the Dolce line (You might see Dolce & Exceline online, Dolce are the men's watches, Exceline are the women's.) The Dolce line is where you can find the good deals

SACM171, SACM150, SACM152, SACK015, SACL009 should all be currently available. For around 450-500 dollar MSRP, more like 370 street price. If you get one of these guys used, it will probably be even less.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOD3pCTCn24

>>59137594
Do they have the independently adjustable hour hand?

>>59137469
A TAG stands out too, but it's not because it's high quality.

It being bright fucking orange tends to help.

You generally don't want a $3000 watch to "Stand out", because you know, niggers are a thing, and they like watches that are big, with bright colours, that stand out.

Also. Depending on the model you get, Rolexes can be pretty understated. Datejusts and Explorers are sleak as fuck m8.

Not sure about the 8J41 does, I doubt it. The 8J that got used in a GS does.

Also, SACK015, one of the models I mentioned uses 4J40. I do not know this movement. It's still suppose to be +-10sec/year

https://youtu.be/Qg4dKFwvvLw

I assume this movement is originally for women's watches.

Why does it take day date complications so long to switch? Like an hour or more to rotate completely

> look up 9f
>talking about how they went out of the way to eliminate second hand "shudder" of quartz watches

Lol bullshit literally wearing a vintage seiko quartz right now and there's no "shudder"

>>59138043
There isn't any, or you just can't notice it? Take a slow-motion capture and call me back m8.

>>59137928
Get an Amphibia, they're instant.

Actually the reason is you can have a simple day-date complication with quicksetting or a simple day-date complication with instant changing, but not both. Having both means having a complicated as fuck date complication.

>>59138043

It's more about the stresses that it puts on the parts/mechanism

>>59138078
The lange 1, for example, only this past year got an instant-change date, even at that price level (as part of the rework of the lange 1 movement).

>>59138074

>setting a vintage day/date watch with a tiny crown when there's no quicksetting

>>59138134
If you see it in person you'll notice the difference.

>>59137928
If it's quartz it's because the motors can't generate enough torque for an instant change and need to slowly rotate the date into place

What does no date quick setting mean?

>>59138199
What's this from

Which I suppose explains why you'd want such a watch to have the date and the day change at different times; otherwise setting a nonquickset daydate sounds impossible (and already sounds horrible).

What's your wrist circumference? The f91w is not a big watch. Depending on your wrist size, you can probably wear down to at least 34 or 32mm before it starts looking strange for contemporary male fashion. Avoid diamonds, mother-of-pearl, rose gold, and bracelets (prefer straps). Also plenty of vintage pieces for men in the 34mm range to consider if you're up to dealing with the vintage market.

>Have in mind your "max bid" is actually $150, instead of 120.
At the very last 10 seconds, if the max bid is below $150, put 151 as max bid.

I mean, some nigger might put 1000 as last bid to secure any last minute faggots. Good luck.
