Hi there.

You asked for opinions on your recent purchase. The gentlemen of /wt/ replied in one unanimous voice that it is shit. We are not required to show you a watch you like in order for this to be true. You bought a real piece of dogshit and we all hate it. Further, it is unlikely that someone who would purchase that watch would like any watch that is actually nice, so we will probably be unable to show you something you find agreeable.

Now, please be silent if you are not going to contribute to the discussion.

Thank you.

>>59816303

I make $5k a month and have a couple of $2k Swiss watches but they are both pilot-type designs.

When I was looking for a diver recently I went with a Mako II though because I could not find anything I liked better. Whatever Orient uses for mineral crystals is kind of crap, though, in comparison to Seiko's stuff (or is it the same?).

>>59816435
The mako uses a Mineral crystal, whereas Seiko use their own "Hardlex" composition. Which is slightly superior to Mineral crystals, but nowhere near comprable to Sapphire.

>>59816481

My personal experience tells me it is superior to Orient's formula, but Hardlex is a brand name for a type of mineral crystal.

hirsch makes stuff with a variety of different grades of leather, some of which is the low-grade material traded under the industry term "genuine leather". this phrase is a term of art that specifically means it is not full-grain or top-grain leather.

Seems fine for the price, I'm not a leather autist. And wanted a $20 strap.

>>59816636
What >>59816664 said. The majority of Hirsch straps use quite low grades of leather. Watch Gecko's handmade leather straps are MUCH better made and still cheaper than most Hirsch straps.

Yes. Panerai's are so cheap and easy to make that no one will take one used without box and papers because they are so easy to fake.

Also, anyone that still supports Panerai after the Brooklyn Bridge scandal is self-evidently a delusional noveau riche faggot.

you can find them without "sports" on the dial, i believe, but those five features are not optional.

What is the classiest Seiko 5 that I can buy for either exactly $100 or slightly under that?

The SNKL23 which is what I am posting in my picture has been discontinued. I don't know what to get now.

I am not looking for utility, if I were I would just get the snk809. I am looking for something within the seiko 5 line that can match this level of elegance on a fairly inexpensive piece

>>59818148
>>59818217

those sell for under $600.

if i were going to buy a quartz analog watch it would definitely be that.

>>59818247
This would be a nice watch but the "5" kills it

>>59818270
I honestly agree but you can't have your cake and eat it, I found it a fair trade off to still be able to have something that looks like this and is mechanical with a reliable movement

I've got nothing against watches but the only reason I don't care for watches is I can't fucking stand wearing them without getting annoyed by the fact there's a chunky, heavy thing attached to my wrist that is obsolete in its functionality and is only meant to look cool. It's like sports cars. I mean sure, they look cool, but you would have to be a giant massive douche to actually own or drive one. Watches are for boring uninteresting mid-35ers, I've never seen anyone cool wear them, expecially those silver 'old businessman' ones that makes anyone who wears them look like a complete lamer and 100% less cooler.

Out of curiosity, what's the cheapest Moon-rated Speedmaster, current or vintage? What's the cheapest way to get a MOTFM watch besides just getting the Bulova remake?

>>59825895
Wait for one to pop off for 2400usd..That's about as low as you'll pay. But most people into watches will tell you time and time again, buy the seller not the watch. You'll wish you spent 200 more when you get that beat up shitter

>>59825895
Check Chrono24. You can get a MOTFM for around $3000 for a good one. Vintage makes prices go up.

If you want a cool Swiss watch that has history in spaceflight you can also check out the Rolex GMT-Master, Fortis Cosmonaut, and Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute.

Other watches have been to space too but these are the most notable ones for someone looking into Swiss luxury pieces. The Breitling and Rolex models especially are going to be going up dramatically in value over time because of how low their production numbers are relative to demand, so if you're in to collecting they might be a good choice.

What about Russians? What did they take into space?

>>59826070
