Replaced bezel, bezel insert, case, and crystal for 80 euro and returned my original ceramic bezel insert as well with free express shipping there and back. I'd say that was worth the 3 month wait.

Got an odd job today, I have to relume and old pocketwatch dial and hands. Too bad it's radioactive as fuck, so I'll be wearing rubber gloves and a dust mask.

Pic unrelated, a burnt as fuck old radioactive Elgin.

SHITTER!

1000 feet = 304.8 meters

why does rolex LIE about this? They say their watch can go to 1000 feet or 300 meters

BUT IF YOU GO TO 1000 FEET IT'S TOO DEEP AND YOUR WATCH WILL IMPLODE

>>61038955

Might as well get a fake GMT at that point

Is regulating a watch easy? if it easy then i will probably take my watch to a nearby watch repair shop, if it hard then i will take it to a more expert shop. My watch is +25s/ day now.

Regulating a Seiko SNE437 is easy because you don't have to! The time is always right!

>>61040007
Depends on the movement. Shouldn't be too hard though.

As long as it isn't ingested and there's sufficient ventilation for the radon produced he'll be fine. Alpha particles are only harmful inside the body and the level of gamma exposure will be minimal with that amount.

Gamma is almost unreadable by my detector. Beta is more but with my shitty commie detector there's no easy way to calculate the exact beta dose.

I'd use a full HEPA respirator to be safe. HEPA was originally developed for filtering radioactive particles. You should have one in your emergency go bag anyway.

>>61043275
>I'd use a full HEPA respirator to be safe.

because respirators protect against radiation

>>61043327
they do. These particles are not emitting large amounts of ionizing radiation . They become dangerous when ingested. Thus preventing inhalation or ingestion prevents radiation exposure.

How do you like Spring Drive over Hi-Beat?
I'm considering getting a SBGM021 or a Snowflake vs. a number of Hi-Beat models and I can't really decide.

>>61044767
Hight beat is a very acurate well made mechanical movement. Spring drive is a quartz regulated mechanical movement. it is technically interesting but i prefer high beat. really up to you

>>61044767
For me at least, the appeal of spring drive is the unusual movement. The GS high beat is a brilliantly made watch, and I suspect I'll own one eventually, but in the end the SD is a more standout collection piece for me.

Both have peerless finishing for the price range so hard to go wrong.

>>61045303
They're generally okay. Biggest common complaint is the lack of QC. If you get a bad watch you then have to try to go through the return process, argue about whether the condition warrants a repair, argue about whether you caused the damage, etc. I wouldn't worry about getting a fake from them for example though it's certainly possible.

Also assume the watch has essentially zero warranty. I'd it happens to stop working about two months you may be out of luck.

Most jomashop transactions go perfectly fine.

I'm almost done with this watch. Serviced it, got a new stem and crown, polished the crystal and relumed it. Now all I need is a strap.

It came on an OD canvas strap that's kinda poo-poo, so recommend me something that would fit the style of the watch, dial color, etc, preferably leather.

>>61046558
Own three, all work great. Look for ads that include the original leather case, because in most cases that means that the selenium lightmeter is not overexposed from years of being kept in the open. Seriously, primitive tech but awesome lenses. Get one.

>>61047436
Ah, 4 is a bit high, especially for early 70s.
But like you said not bad, maybe even good if it was recently serviced. Cause a service on those aren't usually cheap.

>the tech just does not compare with an ancient mechanical!
100% not what I said.
There is little point of having a smart watch other than for shits and gigs.
They don't do much and your phone does all of it better, and has to be on you for them to work.

>inb4 comparison to a mechanical watch
Yeah, I see that. Both are essentially unnecessary, that's why I didn't shit on him for wanting one. Buy what you like, but for me--again personally--to want a smart watch I'd need more from it.

Where the fuck do I buy a Tudor from? There's a couple of jewelry stores in my city that are authorized dealers, but I guess they're going to charge MSRP. Nobody online seems to sell them except Jomashop which is sort of shifty and grey market and wants to make me wait 8 weeks. Costco has a bunch of Rolexes but not Tudor.

Am I really going to have to pay MSRP or close to it? Buying cheaper watches has never been this much of a pain in the ass.

>>61052365
Buy one new and try to haggle, or buy one gently used.

>>61052313
First you are probably actually autistic.. not even trying to be a dick you most likely fall on the spectrum. Second try to make yourself less autistic. Third I cannot see what watch that guy is wearing but she looks like she is wearing a night gown. That rolex could be faker than a fucking pocket pussy and a woman would never have a clue. Fix yourself or your only girlfriend is going to be /gif. She is also most likely already fucking that guy.

>>61052411
Is haggling for watches actually done or is that just a meme? And speaking of which, is Crown and Caliber legit? I remember seeing the site when it first launched and now it seems to actually have a lot of watches listed and supposedly inspected and stuff. They have loads of Rolexes so maybe I should just skip the bullshit and buy a used 114270 Explorer or something like that.

Are super luxury brands like AP, Patek and Vacheron a meme?

I want to own at least one luxury watch and honestly, Rolex and Omega looks way better than those super luxury brands.

Though I worry about the handmade credentials of Rolex. Some say they are entirely machine made

>>61052478
Haggling varies brand-to-brand. I have heard that Rolex is tough to get down, but others like Omega and Breitling can be haggled down quite a bit. See how much grey market differs from MSRP and that should give a decent idea most of the time.

Buying used is usually a much better deal. I'm not familiar with crown and caliber though. I have seen some master list of reputable used Rolex dealers floating around though.

>>61052313
He looks sharp, relaxed and funny, with a watch that screams money.

They're at a house, he brought wine, maybe even cooked for her, and she's in her nightgown.

She feels cinfident and proud enough of her catch, she wants to advertsise it by putting him as a profile picture.

Do the math and stop being a fucking cuck.

>>61052487
Unless there's a Rolex or Omega you LOVE, I'd skip them and go for an A. Lange & Söhne.

And to answer your question, they aren't a meme. But again, there's really no reason to own one. They are a luxury item, so if that's what you consider a meme then sure?

>>61052614
>>61052313
>>61052437
What is even happening here?

>>61052487
>Are super luxury brands like AP, Patek and Vacheron a meme?
They're not a meme, they make watches that could easily sell for 5-8k, but they only use precious metals (gold, rose gold, platinum), so the price gets jacked up to 20k.

Take a look at Jaeger Le Coultre. They have the best movements in the high end sector (and they provide movements to many luxury brands, just like ETA does for mid range brands), and they also offer most watches in steel, which keeps the price reasonable.

Their Master Ultra Thin series is pure bliss if you like dress watches, and you can find a moonphase one in steel for 8000$ MSRP, and quite cheper gray market.

Essentially you're getting a much better, classier and more complicated watch for less than a Submariner.

>>61052487
If you think the movement finishing of a Rolex or a Omega is better then A.Lange then you're fucking dumbass. And that come from an Omega owner

I really like that they're aiming for the first 100% American made watch in like 60 years, and one of their models uses a refurbished Hamilton pocket watch movement.

Lot of them are a little too flashy for my taste though. I'd like something more simple, and maybe stainless or titanium. I don't really care for precious metals, in my watch at least.

>>61053024
Way overpriced, but nice pieces nonetheless.

>$1250 for a hacking lever, optional

>>61053024
Some piece look like chinese replica but some look pretty okay too(pilot), the movement finishing is pretty good.
A little overprice imo, for that price i rather buy a vintage omega or something.

>>61048607
>but I have this nagging feeling that I should be paying a "hurtful" amount of money

The average household carrying credit card debt is in the hole $16k and it's exactly this kind of thinking that gets them their. Live where you want, drive what you want, wear what you want. Never forget that you're buying the watch for you, not for them. If you can afford a rolex get it. If you consider it to be a 'hurtful' amount of money to purchase, then you're buying a timepiece that outside of your means

>>61057465
>what solvent did you use to remove the old lume?
Just scratched it off dry using pegwood. That's why I used a dust mask. Also this is a very tough enamel dial that can't really be scratched with wood and I don't want to risk damaging the print with solvents.

>How do you physically clean up the edges with the peg wood?
Just scratch that shit off with the tip.

>>61057501
I personally prefer the op but it's really up to you.

>>61057501
I like the left, but the right has a Jubilee bracelet. Every fucking watch from chinkshit to SARB has an Oyster bracelet nowadays.

>>61045418
It really is too large. Also replace those metrosexual shorts with something a little more manly if you're gonna wear big watches.

>>61057538
>I like the left, but the right has a Jubilee bracelet. Every fucking watch from chinkshit to SARB has an Oyster bracelet nowadays.

My wrists are about 6"

Maybe Jubilee is better for me

>>61057560
Oyster no longer means class since every shitty watch today will have some folded tin can oyster-style bracelet. If you want to look like you're wearing a classy watch you have to look for features that aren't imitated poorly all the time.

Or if you're an antisocial recluse and don't give a shit for the opinion of the ignorant normies and only want a watch for yourself then go for the Oyster if you want to.

I'm not even a diver :^)

I have the Casio MTD 1071. The crown can go in 2 positions : half pulled and fully pulled. What I read online was the half pulled is used to change the date. But nothing happens when I rotate the crown. The only way to change the date is to fully pull the crown and shift the hour and minute hands +-24 hours. Is my watch broken?

Maybe you're missing the position a bit. Also on these movements you'll likely only be able to change the date and not the day.

Keep trying, turning it in both directions.

I tugged on the crown when it was half way through. Tried rotating it both sides. Nothing changes.

You're supposed to feel it click. Can you? If it clicks and you still can't move the date hand then it's fucked.

>>61057855
yeah :(
Any idea how much this will cost?

>>61057882
I can't remember what movement these have, either some Miyota or some SII/Seiko Epson.

Bring it back to where you brought it if it's under warranty.

One more thing: If the watch is set to near midnight right now then set it to some other time, somewhere after 4am and before 10pm then try setting the date again.

Is that how it's supposed to be? I've always worn my watches over the bone

First you are probably actually autistic.. not even trying to be a dick you most likely fall on the spectrum. Second try to make yourself less autistic. Third I cannot see what watch that guy is wearing but she looks like she is wearing a night gown. That rolex could be faker than a fucking pocket pussy and a woman would never have a clue. Fix yourself or your only girlfriend is going to be /gif. She is also most likely already fucking that guy.

I have a £200 budget and I'd really like to be able to buy something vintage (1960s-1980s) which either has one sub-dial at 6 o clock or two vertical sub-dials. Something like pic related but obv not a rep and not thousands of dollars. Any particular brands produce nice, distinctive watches that can now be bought for a few hundred?

Anyone got the list of reputable rep sites? I'm too cheap to buy a legit Patek, they have the most aesthetically pleasing watches in the world and nobody will think I'm a poser as I only want to wear a subtle, small Patek.

I recommend saving a litte more, 200 euro is kinda low if you want a decent omega vintage.

>>61058478
i just realized their exchange rate dropped like a brick and 200 gbps is only worth 255 dollars now.

Personally I would look for a blue dial datejust with romans. Best of both those watches in one.

>>61057501
Right if you're over 55, left otherwise. The two-tone DJ is the perfect old man watch.

At least the EU human rights laws won't apply anymore so it'll be much easier to implement Sharia law.
