>>59534250
Omega can't actually make proper co-axial escapements yet. They fail in accomplishing the things that the creator's versions did. Rolex have longer service intervals despite the supposed inferiority of the movement.

I need a cheap but good 38mm watch in used condition with a black face.

Recommendations?

Holy shit the new Grand Seiko reissues are amazing

>>59538124
>"cheap"
Means different things for different people.
Post price bracket.
Also you have to tell people what kind of watch.
Dressy, sport, diver, pilot etc.?

Try ebay. Filter mens watches with your requirements, set the minimum price to maybe 30$ and select a brand you know to be a good one. Then see what you can get. If nothing you like comes up, try a different brand.

I found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/322454156831 (pic related), but as >>59538204 said, you didn't really give me much to go with...

There's an article on Hodinkee.

Also GS is separate from Seiko now.
And the new Cucktail Time collection is ass.

>>59538342
Wow, that is nice.

IMO good move to separate the brand. No one wants to see SEIKO GRAND SEIKO

This can give it a lot more of a prestigious image, hopefully the price doesn't jump too high

>>59538457
I like them myself, the finishing and the facets make them play with the light really nicely. But I see where you're coming from, they're classic and unoriginal. That's Grand Seiko as a whole.

>>59538464
That's a different model. I'm not sure how they fucked up so bad with the "AUTOMATIC" text though.

>>59538490
I like the finish as well, it's the shape that bothers me. I don't like these pointed hands, but I do understand why many do. They're not bad, just something I don't personally like.

>>59538502
Yeah, it clashes with the Grand Seiko logo quite badly. It could work if the AUTOMATIC was a light gray, as well as the Japan made at the bottom. Now the logo and the text pop out as much, which isn't very nice.

Finally toppled VC/APs cal 1120 which was 2. 45 mm

>date window

Every fucking time. Does anyone seriously like date windows in new homages to vintage pieces?

>>59539158
I'm fine with the date window here. The bezel is way too wide though. It completely throws off the balance of the design.

Also, sadly, most people want date windows in their watches. They don't put them in for a laugh; watches with date sell massively better.

I don't mind if it's in a good place. That Autavia looks alright, but I wish TAG wouldn't just write only "Heuer" on their modern TAG-Heuer dogshit, it will get very confusing twenty years from now.

Also an example for a bad date window execution would be the Ripley Seiko remake. Fucking seriously? Couldn't they have put it somewhere around 4:30?

I think I figured out something. Aren't Vostok Amphibia crowns the way they are because the movements were originally hand-wind only, unmodified for a screw down crown? If it didn't have the clutch you couldn't screw it in when fully wound.

Am I on to something? How did western manual wind divers solve this? Did their keyless work had an innermost, disconnected position or what?

Just got my Vostok

The strap is pretty shit. But I like the watch

>>59538342
While it's nice, it's too much of a grandpa watch for me.
Will the new Grand Seiko be more conservative and boring?

>>59539266
With photon power. That watch will never stop ticking.

>>59539190
>4:30
No because those are cancer unless it's not crooked which we all know it would be.

>>59539236
Other screw-down crowns are spring-loaded, so they disengage the same?

>>59538269
George Daniels' (inventor of the co-axial) watches never need any lubrication of the escapement because of the way they're built. He painstakingly made every piece of his watches by hand though, and when he took the design to other watch makers they found it almost impossible to copy, so basically none of them even tried to use it/

Omega have tried, but their version still needs lubrication anyway, in a much more complex way than a lever escapement, so the whole point of the original design has been removed. It's just a marketing tool which is more expensive to service.

>>59539208
You obviously know I was talking about thinnest full-rotor automatic, right?

>>59539236
No, it's for shock resistance. If you bump into the crown, even when locked, the stem isn't engaged so the movement doesn't get moved.

>>59539329
Either get a $1 tool or just get a bergeon 6767.

>>59539370
>Will the new Grand Seiko be more conservative and boring?
It will be just as conservative and boring as it's always been.

You have that backwards. Grand Seiko is one of the only companies that unveiled any new classically designed watches, rather than modern oversized gaudy monstrosities. It's the classical styling combined with a level of workmanship fair for the pricepoint that is the cause of /wt/ liking them.

That's not to say that everything GS does is great. Their chronographs are all hideous. So are their divers.

Totally different pricepoints. I'd be looking at the blue one as a cheap waterproof beater to replace an SKX while having the virtue of being blue. Can always swap the hands once the modders get to work on it.

you're going to get shit from /wt/ for buying a Sinn in the first place.
however:
are you convinced that you're going to love it?
or are you on the fence about it?
if you're not completely convinced, you might want to take a look at the retailer's return policy

>>59540568
I'm getting a present and they insist it should be a new watch (from the store), so for that price I'm either getting a Sinn or Oris, no much choice really. And between the two, I'd prefer Sinn from what I see online.

how often do you actually use your watch instead of jerking off about it?

>>59540586
fuck it man, just go for it
getting a watch as a gift though can be a personal challenge though if you don't like it
more so than buying one yourself and just being stuck with something you don't like
which one are you going to go for? can you post a link to it?

>>59540689

>>59540720
thanks anon, at least i won't have to suffer with a ruined dial & bezel

>>59540723
It says on the link, 1000EUR for rubber or leather strap, 1300EUR for metal. I could go like 500EUR over that, but there is really no much choice up until around 2500EUR for brand new.

>>59540723
$1300 MSRP last I checked.

>>59540740
>>59540745
that seems like a tough price range. i mean: it seems difficult to find a 'nice' new watch in that price range
i'd probably just go with the Sinn if you actually like it.
i'd get it on a steel bracelet

>>59542345
Not as good as Casio's illuminator, or Indiglo, but by the time those were developed Casio and Timex had already stopped making steel-cased LCD quartz watches.

Would it be expensive to take a watch, a dial and some hands to a watch maker and have him put it all together?

>>59542542
Do you mean you have a complete watch, and want to swap in a different hand set and a different dial?

>>59542566
Yes

>>59542174
ITS AN SPRB07 AND I LIKE I

>>59542577
If you're sure the parts are compatible (dial right size and shape, handset correct size for the movement) a friendly watchmaker should be able to do it cheap (50usd). A less friendly watch maker will charge more.

Basically it's as if Tudor is trying to mimick Omega as closely as possible, down to the 99999 derivative designs based on one iconic watch with whatever the hell movement slapped in and pawned off on the gullible as quickly as possible.

Honestly disappointing from them.

>>59543147
Yes. The original (ETA) Black Bay was a great design, as was the Heritage Chrono before it, and the original Pelagos.
The BB got hugely popular online, and they just went full jew on it. All the changes and new models have been terrible, and the shills eat that shit up.

i really dont understand why more people dont wear digital? i mean, it's simply better in my opinion more practical.

are analog rolex style watches really just a status symbol?

because the most expensive I own is a datalink timex and it still does about 100 things more than any other analong watch out there.

the original "smart watch"


astronauts wore this watch anon.

now faggots gotta wear fitbits and apple "watches"

You live in an age where the time is on everything, it's on your computer, it's in your car, it's on your phone. There are very few times you will not be in view of a clock or have your phone.

Wearing a watch is a fashion statement and people like watches that don't look shit.

looks really well taken care of, not a daily wear watch im guessing?

i keep my best datalink timex 90s era watch in a safety deposit box, its a rare collectible mint as well. i wear the expedition as my daily.

but I have about 30 different casio and timex

don't you hate being given shit for wearing digital? I personally think its waay better than analog, it says to me

it finally got some slag iron from blowback and the metal burn the screen. saved my wrist from a 3rd degree burn.

every since then I always have a deep connection with g shock

my first watch was a f91w

not all gshocks are multi color fagotry like the shit you see now at malls and on douche bags wrists.

it will last forever if it is taken good care of, but i see people who buy battery powered analog watches which i simply retarded.

you want a smart watch, buy a datalink or e-link and you can store data on it.

those smart watches will be eventually used to track people down. lol

F91W-1 are good, but too many faggot hipsters wear them and too many assholes think that because its a 10$ watch it makes it good.

those are mass produced now to be sold in 3rd world countries.

when I was in peru last summer, all the high school kids I say there and some young adults were wearing the f91w-1 or w85 or a cheaper clone version of it from china ( the originals are made in japan)

those were used in the Philippines as a timer for some mussie asshole trying to blow something up again.

but it's clear you know nothing about watches.
so it's okay.

>all CASIO under 50 dollars watches look cheap and plasticky.

this one is by fat the best digital watch ever made. super rare and sought after. it will go into history as one of the most important watches in history right along side the original polar red.

yes

>>59548001
I've spent about $2.4k so far this year, a bit more than average (this year is kind of frontloaded) - maybe $2k per year the previous two years.

>>59548075
Could try ebay. That or get one of those strapcode bracelets that fit the turtle.

>>59548001
I've spent about 7k syrupdollars on my whole collection (started actually getting decent watches maybe two years ago). But then there are only a few pieces I actually plan on buying still.

Seiko are fantastic Japanese brand, a lot of the watches are made in Malaysia but they still have a factory in Japan for their high-tier shit.

Fatarico put out his picks for a three piece collection for under 10k

what kind of watch does this blessed, great, and beautiful human being wear?

>>59538669
>>59538714
this watch is really nice

how do you guys even learn about all of these models? is there some kind of wiki out there of popular and valued watches that are out of production?

>>59550680
he has what I think is a green dial rolex ceramic sub on steel, which is my favorite, but he's been seen wearing several different ones and I have no idea what pic is

>>59550729
Lurk more, have an interest in the watches, that's really it.

The SARB033 isn't discontinued last I checked.

>>59550743
how would I find it on their site then?

what collection is it in?

>>59550740
ps I don't actually know if its green, it just looked green the one time I got a good look at it, coulda been a reflection

>>59545646
I didn't know Nickelodeon made watches

>>59549096
Haven't had any luck with ebay or Ali express, eBay only sells full links. Might have to go with a strapcode bracelet, its pretty trash anyway. At least I've learned a valuable lesson about shitty watch stores though.

>>59545646
I actually rushed to Amazon to see if I could buy this watch, semi-ironically.
>$144
lol fuck that

>>59539175
Because most people are not autiatic "muh design over useability" like you.

I don't consider watches without day/date to be watches. Hence, fuck you and the tractor farmer Joe drove you in on.

>>59543649
Yeah, a couple floating shits prove your point about digitals. Nice one, anon.

>>59545472
you can email them to be put on the waitlist :^)
I'm personally waiting for their GMT homages to ever happen again.

Digital could be superior in readability and accuracy, but they just don't look as good as a traditional watch. Also, readability is not really problem for most, and accuracy is just a selling point: why would anyone care if a watch is 15 or 30 seconds off?

>>59550729
a year ago when I bought my first watch (snzg) I couldn't make heads or tails of these skx snk sarb sarx, now I know em all.
>>59550751
seiko site stinks as do most watch makers' but sarb is jdm

>>59547464
I'd rather poke my eyes out with sticks than wear that

>>59550729
I found out about it from /wt/ between all. The shit posting there is actually some useful information.

Never wore a watch but got gifted one yesterday. It's cool but I'm self conscious over tiny wrists, feel like wearing a watch makes me look even smaller. Still, being part of the Osama gang feels nice.

>>59552920
yes , lol

>>59552920
Why are you wearing it on the inside of your wrist?

Very professional m'lord. I have the same one on an Amphibia.

/k/ here. You've been misled, most likely intentionally by someone trying to trick you into looking foolish. Wearing your watch upside down is as goofy as small-of-back pistol carry and you should immediately move your watch to the correct position.

I love the subtle sunburst effect on the dial of the SARB when sunlight hits it just right & the fact that you can see that the dial is a really dark brown rather than black.

Watch repair anon here. Today a blue Mako came in for a springbar replacement. It's good quality and a good size. Now I want one.

Fuck.

>>59553899
don't put "chrono" in the name when it's not a chronograph.
it looks cool, but the name is a dealbreaker for me.

>>59554045

That seconds hand is a chrono one m8.

>>59554074
It isn't.
I would love to have a Chronostop though.

>>59554106
Huh, I guess it isn't. The bezel just moves to time things. Oh well.

>>59554099
>>59554106
What do you think the pusher on the side is for then?

>>59554069
Yeah, I should have been more specific. Saw a Mako, want a Ray.

But irl the Mako looked good too.

>>59553062

So, like twice a year?

you mean the crown for the internal bezel?

>>59554124
yeah the mako is nice, except the tiny font on the bezel. i have a ray but i prefer the mako's hands.

>>59554141
yes. and the fine timing device is the rotating bezel.
oris are a bunch of retards. if it was a modern chronostop it would be the best watch of baselworld.

>>59554151
Yeah you're right.
Man that's pretty whack.
Imagine if this was a one-button-chrono.

>>59540111
>Too bad it's four kiloshekels.
And only 39mm

>>59554201
>implying that's a bad thing

>>59554203
It's tiny.

>>59554223
There are enough >=42mm divers out there m8. The non limited edition is bigger if you really want.

>>59554203
I'm a full on wristlet who generally prefers 38mm for most things but would still want bigger than 39 for a dive watch they wear so small lad.

>>59554293
>they wear so small
This.

39 is small without a bezel.

A watch's visual size is determined by the diameter of the crystal and dial.
