I bought it as a service/restore project, the movement seems fine.

I wonder how many will people will downgrade theirs to the brass bezel just to look like the Soviet Amphibias.

Also I wonder if these are exactly the old octogonal cases or just a modern remake. Hopefully some autist here or on WUS will own both and do a comparison.

Has anyone bought from CIVO natos on amazon? I can't decide what kind of strap to put my 1963 that's in the mail on. Any ideas on what looks good?

Actually a dark blood red perlon would look good I think.

Think my memeinist is growing on me. When I first opened the package I want sure what to make of it as it looks do unusual.

The chink leather strap is awful though and someone at seiko needs to commit sudoku

I think I will get a strap like this >>59380345

>>59381351
I like perlons. Where do you buy them?

>>59381388
Holben's Fine Watch Bands has a good selection of EULIT perlons if you are in North America.

So I'm thinking of buying my first expensive watch (by my standards) will the Traser H3 P6600 Elite Red last my lifetime? will the glow ever go completely? how durable is it 1-10? does anyone here have it if so whats your opinion on it? how often should I resync the time to make sure its accurate?

>>59381385
The strap is comfy as hell, I got it from the Watch Gecko eBay store.

>>59381431
Most people aren't familiar with random, Chinese shitters you find on alibaba or Amazon my man.

The tritium will last 10-20 years which should be more than enough for the average watch. Assuming it's not made of the absolute cheapest potmetal it's durability will be fine unless you plan on deliberately and violently beating your arm against concrete constantly. Plus it's generic quartz garbage so there isn't a whole lot to break and if it does replacement is cheap.

I don't know why you wouldn't just get a G-shock instead of buying a pricey 45mm hunk of metal that's inside is probably 90% air.

Swiss made doesn't mean anything anymore. They know how to get around the laws.

It's fine but you're spending an awful lot of money for a fucking quartz watch.

>also I'm going for something I can wear to pubs without looking like a chav

You can't do that with any behemoth dive watch. You ever see pictures of your parents from the 1970s/80s and see how tacky and stupid their attire was and think "what on earth was going through their fucking head?", well that will be you if you wear a 45mm dive watch around everywhere.

>>59381678

They are about as good as Timex. They will be fine but again, don't go much over say, 42mm because anything bigger is going to be mullet-tier looking back.

I mean fuck Rolex GMTs and Submariners are 40mm and they used to be considered big for men's watches.

Just bought this vintage Seiko 5 for 26 dollars off ebay, thinking of polishing the bracelet and the case with cape cod.
My questions are:
-How much money should cost me sending it to a watchmaker to clean the logo on the dial?
-The auction said "japan made" and the bottom of the dial says japan 6309 but auction was from india. This means only the movement is japan made and the rest was made on india? Or everything was made on Japan like the title said and then selled on india?
Please no shitposting I know you guys hate most things related to india but I really liked this watch.

You just spent $26 too much for a curry filled, cobbled together with shit covered child sweatshop hands frankenwatch that will probably stop working within 3 days of you receiving it.

But yeah you can put it on one of these "distressed" raw leather straps but I don't think it does the watch justice. You will see when it comes how beautiful it is depending on the lighting it looks 3 completely different ways. The Nato it comes on needs fucking burning.

It's sold as a military watch on a nato strap designed for casual wear but it can easily be warn to a restaurant or to work.

780X series Cosmotron's are nice watches, though they don't sweep like a true 36Kbph watch. Also, you have the slightly unique 7803A movement with the seconds hand reset button on 8oclock.

Mine is still ticking nicely, and with newer batteries they can happily run for 18 months.

Picked up my blue sunburst Seiko LM Special today. Looks amazing in the light.

>>59385945
not bad

should I get this or not http://www.argos.co.uk/product/2513306?

>>59386125
Sure

>>59386158
I'll get it. Ty.

>>59385677
Is the second hand beat like halved compared to the balance wheel, ie 18000bph? I have a watchmaking book that goes into detail about all the electric movements, but it's from 1967 so it mostly deals with prototypes and concept movements, so I'm not sure if the Cosmotrons design is among them.

From the drawings on transistorized balance wheel movements it looks like the second hand only steps after a full oscillation.

>>59386161
what strap to put on it tho..I want it to look nice, £80 is a lot of money for me

>>59386125
How does that work when you have no sun in the UK

>>59382870
Great watch would really like to buy it but 1) it's expensive as fuck. 2) for a fucking change in color (silver to rosegold) they charge 10.000 dollars more which pisses me off to such an extent that they can go fuck themselves they are not getting my money with their jewish practices.

Th rosegold looks a lot better imho so everybody will know you cheaped out on the watch and bought the "cheaper" piece. What's the fucking point then?

>>59386181
I'll put it under my desk lamp

>>59384222
kek

>>59386163
It does feel close to 18000bph, but it's slightly different than some older variations of the Cosmotron (or other early electric movements). Almost feels as it stutters.

I'll be back home this weekend and i'll try uploading a video of it.

4) 1973 Seiko LM Special 5206-6120

For luxury watches you can pay very high prices. How much of the price can be attributed to actual technological features, and how much do you pay for the brand name (Omega, Rolex, Patek, ...).

I'm pretty sure that at some price point, apart from material (i.e. gold), you only pay for the brand. I just don't know where that price point is.

>>59387039
Most niggas don't even know what a patek or VC they can be understated as all hell. Homie perpetual calendars, minute repeaters and tourbillons cost big money and that's why only avant garde watches (the holy trinity plus JLC and AL&S) have them and are predominant at this price range. Finishing Is a massive factor too

>>59387039
It's going to depend. Look at a lot of watches, you'll eventually be able to see, for example, two steel automatic 3-handers and know how "much" has gone into each one, and compare that to their prices.

>>59387039
With Rolex, there's a thin line between the name and the features, because their name is built upon their features and their innovations.
And then normies just look at it and go "oo, shiney"

I like the SNKL07.
Nice dial color and lume.

>>59387039
there is only about $500 worth of gold in your average watch, perhaps an extra $400 if there is a gold bracelet

>>59387346
this is an outright falsehood by the way, but seriously the precious metals used don't account for most of the price of a gold Rolex or Patek, it's a few grand difference from the same amount of steel

>>59387346
wouldn't a bracelet have more gold than a case though

>>59387406
steel is easier to work with than gold as well.

>>59387617
yes I tried to clarify that I was pulling numbers out of my ass.

a realistic estimate for the value of gold in a gold submariner is about 4500, but the difference in price from a steel to a gold sub is more than double that

>>59383210
Job hunting, then to be the "I put efforts in how I dress but still dress less formal than my boss" guy.

If I can recycle it to casual occasions also it would be nice.

>>59387995
Orient Dress watch or sarb033 depending on price range.

Maybe a hamilton jazzmaster or Tissot if you want to go "swiss"

What is the holy Trinity

>>59388257
Patek, Lange, and vacheron isn't it?

>>59388333
PP, AP and VC

>>59388439
I like Lange better than AP, and i got trips, so I am correct.

Inform the watch community that the Holy Trinity has changed

Because you (probably) haven't considered all your other options including picking up a cool vintage movado with an el primero movement (back when movado was good and they also sold moments to zenith).

Unless you have, then go for it.

I'm in the GTA. Radio atomic sync will work anywhere in Southern Ontario when it is dark, but not during the day. This is because the radio signals bounce off the atmosphere and back down when its dark outside, making it much easier to receive a signal.

Modern Longines is just a way for Swatch to charge $1xxx for the same watches Tissot and Hamilton make but with white guilloche dials. They're overpriced for the objective quality of the watch.
