Roeger Smith isn't exactly a "company" which was the term used, and nobody ITT will ever own any of his watches so I didn't bother counting him. Though he's obviously the only person here with any integrity.

MSRP,which you would have to be a retard to pay. Although since you won't shut the fuck up about it maybe you are. They will be about 5-600 street price.

>>59602003
This was answered a two threads ago m8. Even through azfinetime the preorder price is 800-1000. Guaranteed you'll be able to get it for less than that. At worst you'd need to wait a few months.

What are the best and iconic watches I can get with $1000?

>>59602003
Disgusting move from Seiko. Avoid, and later buy them used for 250 dollars

>>59602090
Not really anything worth considering in the $500-1000 range. Just buy Vostoks, Seikos and Orients for $50-250 a pop

What do you guys reckon? My only watch so far but I'm getting more interested in them.

Is ~$30 for a an old, used Seiko 5 a good price, assuming that it's working?

It would be my first mechanical watch. I understand that these wind themselves by the movement of the wrist. If I shake it for a moment and it works, can I assume that it will operate in order?

Can these be serviced and if yes, how expensive is it compared to quartz watches?

If there is a guide or a "required reading" for these kind of questions, I'm sorry and please point me to one. Thanks.

Yes, same with vintage Air Kings. They're a Rolex my man, they're better than literally 99% of every other fuckhead's watch that you encounter here or in real life.

You could also save up around $3000 - $4000 and get into Explorer I's, Explorer II's, Oysterquartz, Date-Justs, etc. which will probably be a lot more collectible long-term if you're into that.

You're going to be looking a long time m8. You're asking for watches in peak shitter prices.

>>59602743
Thanks, I think it is. You can still get a great deal of used vintage Poljot 3133s on eBay but prices are rising, that's right.
You can also get new ones for over 400€ from sites like Poljot24.de or moscowtime.com. Also from Juri Levenberg.
The one I bought was a especial edition of 700 units, that has been sold out for years. Now you don't find many newer 3133s with a 38mm size except for the new Buran.

>Is ~$30 for a an old, used Seiko 5 a good price, assuming that it's working?
Yes. Assuming it's working flawlessly.
>If I shake it for a moment and it works, can I assume that it will operate in order?
It means it works but not how well it works. You need to measure how long the "charge" lasts (moving it non stop for a min or two and then letting it die out on its own without moving) and to see how many s does it gain/lose per day.
>Can these be serviced and if yes, how expensive is it compared to quartz watches?
Usually not worth servicing depending on whats broken. Seiko 5's can run for over a decade without servicing though (sometimes more)

You realize the 62mas re-issue has an 8L35 movement, yes? And that the 8L35 is am undecorated Grand Seiko movement?? That makes it comparable to an in-house Tudor Pelagos, approximately, plus it's limited edition.

It's the $1,100 MSRP for the 6r15 powered 62mas inspired production models that is sheer lunacy.

>>59604829
It's very similar to the process phones went through. For a while making them as small as possible was the most impressive feat technologically so the smallest shit was the most expensive and desirable.

Now anyone can make a tiny watch so expensive brands focus on being big and flashy to show off.

to most of us its just an ugly watch, britbong

Redpill me on tritium, how does it really compare to conventional illumination? It's hard to get a good comparison from shitty pictures.

>>59605565
It's bright enough to be seen if it's too dark to read your watch normally. What more do you need?

>>59605565
tritium is always on, it has a finite charge that will degrade over a few years.

conventional lume may last a bit longer but it is "glow in the dark" so it needs to be charged by another light source and may run out in hours.

>>59605605
>>59605608
Well yes I understand the basics, the way I asked the question was dumb.

What I meant was conventional fades away but is it still practically legible after several hours of darkness? Because pictures make it look totally black, and then you have people saying it only looks black because of the camera so I have no idea.

I'm basically nocturnal so readability in darkness is high priority but I'd rather not spend more on tritium if it isn't necessary

I need a watch with a white dial, gold details and brown leather strap for the summer. Something cheap. Confident.

>>59605660
If you need more than say 6 hours of legibility conventional lume is not likely to cut it, especially in the budget segment.

>>59605734
How about you work on some real confidence instead of putting it into a watch

Yeah all roads seem to lead to that watch. It bores me though.

How do the resident richfags enjoy their expensive watches?
In my poorfag mind having a 2000+€ watch would be so stressful.
>have to worry about scratching/losing it
>have to worry about service costs
>have to worry about parts becoming unavailable (if vintage)
>have to worry about justifying the price to myself
With a cheap shitter you can just throw it on and not worry about all those things.
Is it just a question of financial perspective?

>>59606027
Yes

>>59606027
I'm a poorfag with a fairly nice car and I think it's probably similar to that
>scratches happen
>services suck cock but I like the car and want it to run
>yeah the parts hardly exist anymore so I'll just hope to the lord nothing goes wrong because I'd be fucked
>if I wanted to sell it I should have done so when it was actually worth something, but I don't because I like it

>>59606027
I'm a poorfag and I justified a 20-year old Rolex Explorer II as if nothing else it will hold it's value so if I need to get out of it, I won't lose anything. Plus I might even make money if collectors go crazy for it.

Meanwhile shitters are just money wasted period because you can't sell the fucking things.

I give zero shits about scratches and I'm not worried of losing it as it doesn't leave my wrist except when I'm lounging around at home.

Makes sense to me to be honest. The only downside is service costs but hey that's once every 5-10 years and these things aren't exactly brutal to have serviced.

>>59606027
A nice watch (like Rolex) is an investment, unlike shitters. It holds value quite well.

Talking about richfags,one of you should buy this:

>>59606054
Ok I thought as much.
>>59606108
>if I wanted to sell it I should have done so when it was actually worth something, but I don't because I like it
I think the aspect of viewing it as something you keep for life would easy some of the worries for me.
>>59606140
Rolex is definitely special in that regard since you can flip them so easily, they hold their value and the basic movements are so rugged.

>>59606164
>A nice watch (like Rolex) is an investment
For the love of god, people, jewelry is not an investment

>>59606180
I'm just saying that new and near-new things are in a different tier of value than used and worn things.
If you got lucky and it was a good investment you can get some/most of your money back, sure, why not have that as an option
Money spent is money spent, but it's not like your watch or your car will take half you money + alimony if you decide you don't want it for life after all
But I believe in at least trying to find a long term love in your watch

>>59606195
Elaborate.
It is an collectible item which holds value well, you can sell it easily on the market and can even become more valuable with time. Why it's not an investment?

The fact that you can resell it later for more than a penny does not make it an "investment", is his point I think.

If you aren't even beating inflation it's not much of an investment.

>>59606320
If we're talking people buying Rolex watches second hand than this is patently untrue. Unless you go out of your way to buy one of the models that is "hot" right now and pay out the fucking ass you can expect the average used Rolex you buy to at a minimum retain it's value over time and you will be able to get out of it at roughly the same price (including adjusting for inflation). However some Rolex watches, particularly the steel sports models, have a tendency to go up over time even accounting for inflation. Particularly if you go over the really long term, you can make significant amounts of money on fairly benign watches.

For example you practically couldn't give a fucking Milgauss away and now the prices are through the roof. Same with Steve Mcqueen Explorer IIs, they're minimum $10,000 watches in good condition and before people considered them the GMT-Master's retarded cousin that no one wanted. We're not even talking special variants or anything the average fuckhead wouldn't have bought in [that time period], but regular production watches that collectors came to appreciate over time and hence spike their value dramatically.

>>59603791
It's neither COSC-certified nor regulated. Tell me, are you willing to shit €4,000 for an unregulated mov't? That price range is in the same ballpark as Tudor or Omega stuff it doesn't make sense.

He's just trying to repeat the shit he said in the other thread ignoring how he was proved wrong. Even Amazon is selling SRP779 for 270 with prime shipping and they're not the cheapest. He wants to think of their street price as 390 because that was the inflated price caused by the early hype. In reality 800 will be around the worst, not best, price after the "gotta have it right away!" guys have gotten theirs.

Oh Steinhart are by no means a good brand, they're improving quite a bit. The Titanium 500 is very nice, kinda entertained the thought about flogging my OVM for one.

But to say it's a stolen design when both Rolex and Omega were comissioned, and they both used the same style hands, it's kind of unfair to say it's just a Rolex Copy.
Granted, it is still shameless and unoriginal, but the original is so obscure and limited that it's arguably invalid to begin with.

Fair point, though assuming it has a screw down caseback it wouldn't be hard to regulate. At $2,000 I'd seriously consider it, but not at $4,000. It's a limited edition though and I have no doubt they'll sell all of them.

a rule of thumb goes if you can't afford to lose a watch/have it stolen by you can't afford it in the first place.

Yeah, but if you have to "save up" for a Rolex and you buy it anyway, nobody in your life who sees it is going to be impressed or know the difference between the $200 "homage" version. And even if they do recognize it, it'll be like when Tyrone has an iPhone 7 on launch day but lives in a $5,000 house in Detroit.

Legit kek.

Most people ITT could really give a fuck about the art of watchmaking and only care about expensive watches as a perceived method to flaunt their "status" which they don't really have.

If you are truly interested in watchmaking as a hobby then I could understand saving to buy an expensive piece but if you're just trying to impress the random jackasses at your mundane job who won't recognize it anyway you're pathetic.

>>59610625
>So, do you drive a Geo Metro or a Bugatti Veyron? There can be no in between with your argument
The difference between a garbage heap like the Metro and the Veyron is not the same as the difference between a shitty $500 automatic and a $50k. The $500 Seiko automatic is like a Honda Civic with a body kit and a totally sick bro spoiler and underbody light. Woah man we're so impressed with your fast car! Meanwhile other people are either buying reasonable luxury cars, midrange grocery getters, maybe a Corvette here and there, or super cars, because there's such a thing as diminishing returns, marginal utility, etc.

Enjoy your garbage watch and anemic bank account, kek.

Literally absolutely no one here does that, for fucks sake we have people here with Poljots, Kormandiskies, Seagulls and even pooinloo HMT watches and none of them pretend their watches are a ten thousands dollars work of art.
Fucking awful post I swear to god, you got me if this is bait.

>>59610853
You are just too fucking stupid to grasp the logic here. Here, let me quote it for you and break it down for your simple monkey brain:
>Pic related, a nice quartz watch that isn't pretending to be something that it isn't.
That's the Ford Focus, the Lincoln Town Car, the midrange Lexus, maybe even a Corvette, etc., owned by the respectable guy who earns a modest but respectable salary. The $500 automatic Seiko is like a riced out Honda Civic with owned by a guy who makes $45k a year and has an eyebrow piercing. The point is that your shitty Honda Civic with a BMW body kit isn't an impressive car no matter how much you want to pretend it is. You would have been better off with a Ford Focus, because that's the only worthwhile car in your price range.

>>59610954
>Who is pretending a Seiko is a Patek?
The guy who owns it bought it purely because it was mechanical, not recognizing the fact that it's mediocre and he'd be better off with a quartz given his budget and the available options. He's not openly comparing them in plain English, but the entire basis of his purchase is the idea that it's a superior item to the lowly quartz purely because of its association with things that he'll never be able to afford. Pathetic.

What are you wearing today, /wt/? I decided to break out my good camera to get a decent shot of the blue LM Special I've been wearing lately.

The accuracy has been pretty good on it since it was serviced. It's only gained 5 seconds since the 21st. These vintage 52xx movements all seem to show some level of divergence of amplitude between on the wrist vs off when freshly serviced, but over time the spread seems to decrease. I'm curious to see how this one will care after a few months.

Got the Casio F201WA-9A a couple of days ago, and so far it's great. It has a few features the F-91W doesn't. Two things that stand out are a countdown timer, and 5 separate alarm functions that I believe you can set dates for.

It's a few mm thicker and I was worried it'd feel bulky in comparison but it's nice and compact.

Second from top right. The one that says "Jaeger".

>rest is unknown
The're vintage brands. Pre-quartz. The era these new Seikos are supposed to be a throwback to.
They all got killed or gutted when quartz hit.

The Universal Genève is probably the very nicest watch in that entire pic.
See this pic for the movement on that.

And Eberhard was a very respected high-end, low-volume manufacturer.

And that's without mentioning the vintage Omegas.

Why are Seiko shills so easily triggered and insecure?

put them together and now you have the prototylpe for numales

>>59615671
so you are explaining your behaviour right now?

>>59617120

Watchmaking only began in Switzerland after the Huguenot refugees brought the manufacture of portable timepieces to Geneva in the second half of the 16th century. Under the strict rule of Calvin, who rejected any display of wealth, the wearing of jewellery was banned thus forcing these craftsmen to find new outlets for their creative talents – and so they discovered watchmaking. watchmaking innovation and production were mainly concentrated in Geneva. This soon spread over the Jura mountains to other regions. In the 17th century, entire families in the canton of Neuchâtel were employed in the watchmaking industry, chiefly making pocket watches and scientific instruments. By the middle of the 19th century the Swiss had overtaken the English to become the world’s most important watch manufacturers. The first true competitor to the Swiss emerged in the second half of the 19th century, when the American watch manufacturing industry started to mass produce watch components.

>>59617654
>"Each carries Omega’s signature "Broad Arrow" handset, finished in the same hue of beige Super-LumiNova – a nod to the aged tritium look on vintage watches from that era. Much has already been said about this stylistic choice, but whether or not you like it, it can’t be denied that white luminous paint just wouldn’t have captured the warmth or the spirit of the originals in quite the same way.“

Anon I'm sorry.

Your father got you a Steinhart for your graduation. You loved it. You wore it everyday. It was your pride and joy. Finally you could show the world what you were made of, and that you, after all these years had earned the right to wear your first Swiss Made luxury watch.

Then, alas, you found /g/. You found /wt/ and anons were talking about all types of horological technology, forms and functions, complications and designs, reliability and value for money. You were home at last, among your fellow watch connoisseurs.

As you were scrolling away, you saw someone else posted their Steinhart.. and you knew it was time, time to share with the world your own timepiece for all to admire and adore!

So you did. And then the comments came in. But, something was wrong. They were.. Unexpected. They were.. cruel. Harsh. Demeaning and offensive.

What? Why? How can this be? After all this time and love you have shared with your watch you've just been told, that slab of metal around your wrist, is in fact a steaming pile of dogshit.

>>59617011
Here are the simple facts: Nomos are literally the first new company to develop the capacity to design and manufacture mechanical movements including escapements on a series production basis since the 1960s. They join Vostok, Orient, Citizen, Seiko, ETA and Rolex as the only non haute horlogerie companies capable of this.

Developing this capability took a several year and ~12 million Euro investment in escapements and a further ~2 million Euro investment in designing the ultra-thin DUW 3001 calibre. These are enormous investments from a company with an annual sales volume of 10,000 - 20,000 units, and as a result must necessarily be reflected in increased unit prices.

In an affordable luxury watch market heavily dominated by Chinese-cased ETA-powered marketing-driven shitters, any watchmaker that makes the investments required to become a manufacture and actually increase the technical diversity of series produced mechanical movements should be applauded no matter whether you like the aesthetics of their product line. To the extent that Nomos succeeds by following this path, it may serve to encourage more investment in the technical aspects of watchmaking by other companies rather than just investing in more value engineering (i.e. cost-cutting) and more advertising.

Just in the last 10 years we have gone from a $1,000-$4,000 market where every single watch was powered by an ETA movement to one where you can now choose between ETA, Tudor, Nomos, and Seiko (8rXXs, 8LXXs). How can this development be regarded as bad for people interested in horology, regardless of whether you would personally buy any of those watches yourself? If only Miyota and Seiko would add micro-adjuster models to their ebauche offerings and Tudor would begin to use their in-house movement in more models, we could return to an era of real competition in movements in production watches not seen since the glory days of the 1970s.
