Rose gold looks cheap as fuck. Reminds me of cheap plated Chinese garbage.

>>60077447
actually this is a really accurate chart

>>60077447
Reminder that this chart is dead wrong about Sea-Gull.

>>60077486
Is it? I still the remember the anon who bought a seagull diver and instantly regretted it. 1963 also generally breaks in a year or two. I'll trust Seagull in 10 years maybe id they introduce stricter QC, also Vostok should be demoted too

>>60077513
I mean, you get what your pay for with Sea-Gull, like most brands. One wouldn't buy a Seiko 5 expecting a Grand Seiko. The movement in the 1963 is also based on a pretty old design, and likely needs regular maintenance to sustain.

>>60077539

You faggots need Jesus

>>60076949
Too expensive for what it is. I like the design, but at that price point they should be able to offer the tegimented case.

>>60078392
I'm bummed about the non-tegimented case.

Some say hardened-steel cases rust exponentially faster.

Regardless, someone (Damasko/Sinn/Tudor) needs to make a 904 stainless or hardened 38mm GADA watch with a nice finish.

>>60078421
why don't more watchmakers utilize 904 stainless btw?

>>60078430
It's honestly not much (if at all) better than 316 for watchmaking.

>>60078379
>>60078379
its only a few people around here that wear oversized watches. If anything, /wt/ has been moving towards more conservative watch sizes with people trying to steer away from watches that are too long lug to lug or just too big on the wrist.

>>60078468
really?? why do some Rolex owners swear by it (re toughness)? is it just marketing and a meme?

how tough is it vs ice-hardened steel for example, if you know?

>>60076949
whats the after market price on this sinn? Kinda like this one, but not sure about dropping a 1k for it.

>>60078479
I haven't got any data handy, but I'm sure somebody has collected some.

>>60078481
$850 used in good shape w 1 year of warranty left is the typical going price for secondhand 556i's

>>60078481
But if you buy after the warranty with some wear, you can get right down to 700.

They go quick on the grey market.

What's your thoughts on this fucker? On one hand if QC is all that was holding back the ST19 movement this might be one of the best value chronos. On the other hand it's hard to trust microbrands and if they break at the same rate as the Seagulls it would be straight up money down the drain

>>60078533
Surprisingly enough, many of the Darts Grand Prix players have decent enough taste.
I was expecting two-tone galore and dogshit out the ears, but no, SeaDwellers, Subs, and the odd Seamaster.

>>60078568

I just couldn't take the gamble.

Personally,I'd wait for more reviews.

>>60078421
>Some say hardened-steel cases rust exponentially faster.
Interesting, I had never heard about that issue. I don't really see why it would.

>GADA watch
?
But yeah I'd love Damasko to make a 38mm version of the DA36/DA38.

>>60078479
Apparently it's just better for rust and nlt really much else. But Rolex owners would tend to treat their watch better than dogshit owners, which means you scratch it less.
It's the same thing with Lexus being the most reliable cars. Old people buy them and take them to the dealer for regular maintenance. Retards who buy VWs don't maintain them, so they break. It's not (just) the car being inherently more reliable.

Later on when Daniels really made it big, he bought classic cars and when my granddad retired, he would go to Daniels' house every so often and spend a day repairing and maintaining his cars.

Apparently, my granddad's pocket watch was given to him by Daniels' (but it isn't one of his own pieces)

Because I cook meals with more than one thing going on at any one time.

A bezel costs fucking nothing, and effectively doubles the functionality of the watch.

>>60081154
>is it total trash or actually wearable?

It's unironically impressive, you could compare the material to a RL or Lacoste Polo. The stitchings are nicely done too.

>are the 12 and 24h hands independently adjustable? I like the SEs but that's kind of a dealbreaker for me

They are not independently adjustable, the GMT hand works as a 24H hand linked to the main hour hand. For example if it's 9pm the main hour hand will show 9 on the dial and the GMT hand will show 21. If you want to check a different time zone you have to rotate the bezel to adjust the time difference.
It's an much easier and practical system compared to a real GMT movement but yeah it's technically complicated.
It's a 120€ watch after all and the finishing is amazing.

>>60081257
it would also completely ruin the styling of the watch

>>60081288

I'm going to China for a couple of days. Planning on looking into watches there. I'm under the impression they sell inferior stuff or simply rip the customer off. How can I tell chinkshit apart from... not so chinkshit? Anything to look out for?
Budget around 100€-200€, I could go 300€ maybe.

>>60082118
>It's pretty hard to fuck up digital quartz.
You'd think so, but the Chinese are experts at making truly worthless garbage. That's a very European mindset you have there.

>>60082139
>Planning on looking into watches there.
Good idea.
Maybe one day we'll see the first Chinese native actually looking into watches too.

>>60082139
Do not buy anything, they will scam the fuck out of you. If you do buy, haggle like a mad cunt. Offer them half of what the item or a similar item costs on Aliexpress. Insult them. Don't be polite. The Chinese are cunts. They will be nice to you after you purchase.

Then. Are there any good-to-know or easy-to-test stuff to determine if the item is broken or about to break? Even if assuming 95% of the watches in a show are, comparing broken shit with broken shit won't show a difference.

And, are there any interesting chinese watches out there?

If you can't afford the real thing, why would you buy something slightly cosmetically similar but much lower quality? There are many original and cool watches in the lower price range too. Stick to them.

If your grail is a Ferrari, you wouldn't buy a crappy Toyota kit car trying to mimic the 'rari design, would you?
No, you would buy a Lexus or an Alfa Romeo or something like that until you can afford the real thing.

I should say, mine from a year ago is metal anyway, not sure if that's changed.

Anon here, my $37 "Horween Chromexcel" strap arrived today. Ultra-pliable, soft and supple, about 2.4mm thick. Symmetry on the stitching at the end is JUST-tier but otherwise it seems nice. Vendor sells S-M-L, bought S, fits great on my babby wrist. Packaging is kind of "I'm a stay at home dad and this is my side business and most of my customers live in SF and are into workwear fashion" kinda thing, pretty much what I expected from Etsy

tl;dr: wanted a cheap strap for a Timex and it's a huge upgrade over the piece of shit cardboard strap that came with the watch

>>60083563
Looks breddy gud, though the really high end way to do it is to use thinner leather but continue the fold-over for the full length so you have finished leather against the skin, but for the price you can't really complain.

Pic related is a much more expensive Bulang & Sons which uses a full-length fold over.

>>60084113
Looks good, anon. How much was it? I think this strap belongs on a chrono or a field watch instead of this simple Timex—it's more rugged looking than I expected

>>60084153
The Bulang & Sons strap is an eye watering 90 Euro + shipping excluding VAT, but it's by far the best quality strap I've ever seen.

>>60084287
what makes the fold-over better?

>>60084287
>>60084333
(other than the finished leather against skin etc.)

>>60084348
That's precisely what makes the fold-over approach better, so you don't end up with the rough unfinished side of the leather against your wrist. It's why normal style leather straps are typically lined on the inside.

>>60084386
Ah, okay, thanks for the info. Mind posting a pic of the watch you have that strap on?

No, besides swapping whole movements, replacing bezels, etc. And you'll still need a pretty fucking small flathead screwdriver
>is it costly
Yes unless you're repairing cheap vintage shit where a functioning movement costs as much as a functioning watch, in which case it's not usually worth the effort to repair

>>60084622
no, you need tools
kind of yes, but if the watch you want doesn't exist it's either that or modding.

The Sekonda I've been waiting for arrived today. It's in excellent condition, the gold plating and acrylic crystal are perfect. The winding is a bit stiff so it probably needs a service and it has a retro expanding bracelet.

I'll probably put a black leather strap on it and it'll be a great classy dress watch.

It's an act, like all entertainment is. I haven't watched him or Archie in ages because I'm not obsessed with buying high end watches.

First you need to work on your English then you need to realise that he's never claimed to be wealthy.

I'm the Chinese poster hence my fresh memes straight from Weibo Chinese social network.

Keep sucking more youtube cocks. As I said, I don't watch high end watch faggots anymore since I'm more into low budget watches like Seikos, Vostoks and Sea-Gulls

>>60086724
His entire fake fucking act is premised on convincing viewers he's some independently wealthy aristocrat, as opposed to the reality of some fake ass paid micro-brand shill.

Protip: He's never claimed that in any video. The exact opposite is actually true. He's spoken about his money problems and how his medical costs basically bankrupted him.

Interview with TGV from The Urban Gentry

>I also had many Swatch watches during the 90s. I would spend every summer
in Italy for a few months and it became a kind of tradition that my mother
would buy me a Swatch every year while waiting for the plane at duty free
in the airport.

>Lastly I have
to mention I inherited my grandfathers solid yellow gold Charles Frodsham
pocket watch which gave me greater perspective on the quality of watchmaking as a
craft. It gave me a head start and a taste for horology on different levels
and it’s history.

>For me, when I was in my late 20s and I
started to make enough money, I decide to reward myself and I bought my
first Rolex DateJust in two tone. Around the same time I also bought a
mid-sized Omega Seamaster 300, the bond blue one like Prince
William has. I figured the Omega would be a great every day watch and the
Rolex for weekends and dressing up smart. For a while I was happy with that
setup, but of course I started noticing what other people where wearing and
I soon caught the watch bug and wanted more!

so maybe something closer to this in dark brown? I'm trying to make it look a little less formal

>>60087077
actually, I like the whiskey too

>>60087077
I like the whiskey over the brown one

Check aliexpress too. It's where I've bought a strap or two and I've liked the quality

I hadn't but good call - I really like the extra texture. Just out of curiosity, why from Vietnam specifically? Also, are there places other than ebay to get these? (don't have account currently)

Are the Vietnam straps considered formal? They're pretty coarse looking.
