Alright lads I'm looking for a really good high quality watch. I have £9000 to spend and I want a watch brand that will retain its value. Based on pic related (and other sources) I'm thinking of going for a pre-owned Patek Philippe Calatrava for £8500. Opinions?

You mean fakes. Chinkshit garbage movement no QC fakes. I saw one abject moron bring one to my watchmaker. My watchmaker just laughed at the guy when he put his brand new fake Sub on the timegrapher and it was running +65 SPD with 110 degrees of amplitude.

The movement literally had a week to live and the moron paid $300 for the thing.

So I'm now in the Seiko club with my Daini 5Actus. So this is supposed to be an entry level JDM sport watch, but for 1975 it has a steel case and a mineral crystal, when most entry Swiss-shit (and especially slavshit) of the time were plated brass and acrylic.

Seiko were that far ahead, huh? Also post your vintage Seikos pls.

Not really. The 52xx was the last new movement Daini designed before the quartz revolution and should be considered comparable to the ETA 2892-A2, Omega 56x/75x and Rolex 3035. In the 1990s Seiko brought back the 52xx as the 4s15 and ultimately moved it to Credor.

Be aware that the 5206 and 5245/5246 have instant day/date change at midnight but are vulnerable to quick-set damage if the quick-set is used between 9pm and 3am. The movements are otherwise quite reliable.

The 5256 variant, while lacking the instant date change, had adjustment labor lavished on it by Daini as it was their last run of high-end autos. My 52 King Seiko Special is scary accurate as a result.

Also, make sure you don't confuse the Suwa Seikosha produced 56xx for it, however. They are totally unrelated designs.

In general, Daini tended to be pretty conservative in their movement designs and watch designs, most of their watches share a lot of the same design language.

Hi vintage seiko man / plaid man / southern Ontario man. Not him but a question about vintage seikos since I know you're knowledgeable. I am much more a fan of manual winds than automatics and was wondering if anything in the vintage seiko market was worthwhile or notable and manual wind. Any tips for buying vintage and should I get it serviced somewhere in particular once I buy it?

So Suwa was the wild one?

>>59740756
Best value for a reliable manual wind vintage Seiko is a Lord Marvel 5740C. It's a 36,000bph manual winding design produced for a long time in the late 1960s and 1970s by Suwa Seikosha. No date complication and it doesn't hack, but as a result is extremely reliable.

If you are in Southern Ontario take it to Shane Ede in Toronto.

As for general tips, you need to Google the shit out of the movement and model you are interested in and learn enough to judge condition, originality and price for yourself.

>>59740561
because they are good looking

>>59740814
Suwa tended to be way more experimental with their designs for watches and for movements. For movements this often meant they ended up with flaws (see: 56xx quick set, 613x vertical clutches, 61xx excessive wear issues).

>>59743263
yahoo.jp auctions, chrono24, ebay, WUS forums, take your pick. Do your research on whatever particular piece first to get an idea of what prices are reasonable for it.

How many watches do you guys wear?

I recently upgraded from 2 to 4 (1 on each arm both outwards, to 2 on each arm 1 inwards and the other outwards). It's made it much more convenient to check the time no matter what my hands are occupied with. I've considered getting a 3rd one for each wrist for that rare time both watch faces are parallel to my eyes but I think I'm going to hold off until it really starts to bother me and I find a couple watches I want.

The thing is while the Patek will retain value you will lose big time when you need it serviced. We're talking 4 figures for a service here.

For value retention (and possible increase) buy Rolex

Also, you can always sell a Rolex quickly if you need cash

That's not cringe, it's a cheap quartz watch being used as a beater. Probably wears it whilst skateboarding and that's why the crystal is so scratched.

If so then the nato makes sense too as if a springbar snaps the watch won't go flying off.

0/10 cringe factor

Hidden crowns give me an erection. So it's got that going for it.
It's in need of a thorough cleaning, that's for sure. There's also quite a nasty chip in the case there.
Replacing crystals is not particularly difficult, but you do need a press for it. So keep that in mind.
If you are able to get a record of service history, it'd be worth considering a service if it's not had one for a while.
But for $35 it's not a bad grab.
Assuming it works.

>>59749697
If we were to list watches worth considering in that price range, it's hit the bump limit on the thread.

You've not even told us what in particular you're looking for, dress, diver, sports? Chrono? Moonphases? GMT? Help us help you.

>>59749710
that is a good move IMO

GS and your average seiko shitter don't play in the same league.

they will sell more to people who know that the watch is perfection but they hate the Seiko logo on it.

>>59749683

beautiful and tempting.. BUT

too pricey for a plexi glass and their cheaper models are under 38mm

i understand that using plexiglass is more practical than manufacturing a domed sapphire, but there's no way i'll spend more than 700 euros for a scratch-prone watch

There's nothing wrong with acrylic, it polishes easily as well.

In general sapphire domes don't get as nice of a shape as this either.

>>59749799
OK price, but check first where you can the glass replaced and how much it costs before deciding on anything else.

>>59749853
There is... it will scratch 100%. Ever heard of Moh hardness scale? Hint quartz is mixed in dust/dirt and has a hardness of 7. Only sapphire withstands the test of time.

B-but you c-can rr-replace it! For now yea but forget it in a few years or be prepared to pay extra for vintage repair.

Sure buddy over the years it really starts to show and damages the shape of the watch too.

So I ordered one and hence found out that my credit card stopped being valid this month (holy fuck what a coincidence) and decided to cancel the transaction.

Gather pictures of the real watch and compare.

I like it anon, its got a nice high end movement and great size. Im not sure if you can get it cheaper though.

Nice blog

Are there any good anadigis out there? Most of the ones I've seen are either Disney branded garbage or tacticool bullshit, but I like the functionality.
