I think I changed my mind about buying a Tudor, I'm just going to go for a legit Explorer. I think I like the 114270 more than the current 214270, though. I've never bought a watch this expensive though, much less used, so where should I buy from to get something in good shape and not get fucked over? I want one in really good condition, it seems like $4000 to $5000 is the price range.

Is Bob's watches legit? Or should I stick to chrono24 or crown and caliber?

Is it okay to go to a Seiko/Omega/Rolex boutique and just ask to put them on without intent of buying them? I'll probably be able to afford a luxury class watch in a few years.

>>61063572
yes

>>61063572
You have to act like you're actually planning on buying one and you have to look presentable and like you actually have enough money to buy a watch there. But yeah, they should let you try them on and even take wrist shots to troll /wt/ with, watches tend to sit in the store for a long time and get tried on over and over again.

If you are looking for a good value in a vintage Seiko from the late 1960's to 1970's period then I would consider the following model lines:

1) Lord Marvel 5740C. The only Suwa Seikosha entrant on this list. It doesn't hack, and doesn't have a date complication, but its very simplicity is its greatest strength. The movement is extremely reliable and actually has very good inherent accuracy as well (though the lack of hacking makes that a bit of a moot point). Suwa also made absolute boatloads of them over the course of several years so if you ever need a donor movement for parts, it shouldn't be that hard or expensive to get.

2) LM Special 5206/5216. These are Daini Seikosha produced mid-ranged models that use the 52xx movement. While they were not as finely adjusted and regulated at the factory as the more expensive 52xx King Seikos, they still use the same base movement, which is one of the best designed series produced automatic movements of the pre-quartz era. 28,800bph, hacking, handwinding, quickset for day and date, micro-adjuster for the regulator, and great inherent accuracy. One nice bonus is that the less coveted LM Special versions can often be found very inexpensively.

Just be sure not to confuse the Daini Seikosha produced LM Specials with the 52xx movement for the Suwa Seikosha produced Lord Matics with the 56xx movement (which I would avoid).

3) King Seiko 5245/5246/5256. I still consider these to be the most undervalued vintage Seiko model from the pre-quartz era. In terms of accuracy, build quality and today especially reliability and parts availability they should be in my view more desirable than the Suwa Seikosha produced Grand Seikos of the period whose values have already been bid up to the sky.

(1/2)

>>61067387

Cont'd

The 5256 King Seiko Special models deserve special mention as they were produced during the last 6 months of high-end mechanical production at the Daini factory and had tons of extra finishing, adjustment and regulation lavished on them to leave a statement for posterity.

Again, be sure not to confuse the Daini Seikosha produced 52xx King Seikos with the Suwa Seikosha 56xx King Seiko models (which I would again avoid).

While the Daini Seikosha produced 701x chronographs are available for a good deal now, and the movement is reliable and well designed, I can't advocate a vintage chronograph as a value option in light of how much they cost to service. I've also not recommended the Grand Seiko/King Seiko 45xx models, as they are fairly high maintenance and prone to some wear issues (though they have spectacular inherent accuracy).

(2/2)

>>61067338
Give me a time to put it at

>>61067450
4:20 and if it does set at that then you are in fact by far the gayest fucking faggot lol look at that shi are you serious contemplate suicide perhaps

>>61067387
Why no 5255 (or does that not exist)?

>>61067530
Doesn't exist. The last digit refers to whether it has a date complication only (xxx5), day and date complications (xxx6), or neither day or date complications (xxx0 or xxx1).

All of the 525x's were day/dates so all are 5256s.

Before you ask, the 524x vs 525x refers to a modification made to the movement after it entered production. The original 5206/5245/5246 models had instant day and date change at midnight, but people kept breaking the quick-sets on them by trying to change the day or date between 9pm and 3am so Seiko revised the movement in the 5216/5256 version to lose the instant date change but gain breakage protection from trying to use the quick-set at the wrong time.

By the way, in general you should NEVER try to use the quickset for the date on a vintage watch between 9pm and 3am on the watch, just as a precaution. I always set the time on my vintage watches to 6:00 before setting the day/date just to be safe.

Thinking of swapping the crown of my Seiko turtle for a signed one. However I have heard that you can compromise the seal if you don't put in a new gasket after opening it. Should I not worry and just use the current gasket? The watch is not that old.

>>61068432
Gaskets are dirt cheap, which is part of why they get replaced (almost) every time the watch is opened up. Surely you could order some crown gaskets along with the new crown?

>>61068455
I was thinking more so about the caseback gasket. Did not even consider the crown gasket. Alright sounds like I shouldn't be stingy and get some gaskets as well.

Is the Seiko SKA366 too fancy to wear casually? It's advertised as a "dress watch" but if I usually wear black t-shirts/polos with dark jeans, is it bad form to wear something like that with them? I'm looking for something under or close to $200 as a first watch and I really like the look of it, but I don't want to get something that will look awkward or out of place with my day to day outfits.

>>61069080
>>61069121

What's a "tasteful" watch that you could recommend to a novice? I know I prefer metal bands but I'm not too sure about anything else really.

>>61069252
If you're looking for a dress watch, and don't mind doing the research, a vintage omega seamaster or constellation is pretty good.

>>61069252
The coating scratched all over and looked like garbage approximately one week after I bought it and the kinetic movement was terribly difficult to keep charged. Plus I realized it was terribly tacky looking.

>>61069252
Metal bracelets below 200 aren't generally good. You might be able to find something from citizen but otherwise u would suggest avoiding bracelets. If you get a watch you like you can always add a bracelet later. Below 200 look at Seiko 5 (Google Seiko 5 finder), orient, citizen, or swatch for weirder designs

Then just get a new band if it starts to look shitty after what, a year? They aren't expensive.

Also, they don't get much more sticky than metal, if you sweat they both stick to some degree.

I'd really try leather again, especially on an Alpinist. I mean you probably made the switch first day.

You're better off sooner than later.
Parts are a bitch, do what I did, get one in decent shape for a relative deal, and get it spruced up.
Definitely will be cheaper than getting one in great condition.
Very hard to find a watchmaker with experience unless you want to pay out the ass.

I definitely like it. Had to replace the strap as the deployant didn't fit me well, and the crystal picks up smudges unbelievably quickly. I'm impressed with the legibility and despite the lange 1 knockoffness, it's a design I really like. Would definitely buy again. The presentation box is incredible. Now I just have to decide 9n the moonphase...

>>61084565
Glad you like it. I was also really impressed by the box. I'm waiting on a dark brown Vietnamese croc strap for mine. If I get a chance to try one out before buying, I might also channel my inner TVG and try it on a green strap.

My moonphase has been running pretty well so far, around +8.5/day. It also has quickests for date and moon phase, so if the novelty wears off, I won't have to be autistic about winding it.

Fucking gorgeous I've been gone a week or two, since when did we get a Vacheron poster?

How does it run, accuracywise etc?
Can you provide some better light shots?

What are some good quartz watches to wear to an interview?

>>61081509
Is the watch supposed to distract people from your red face? If so get a 45mm Tag Heuer.

Blue-gray perlon apparently looks good on the cocktail.

Does anyone know if Eulit has a perlon in blue-gray? Or any other brand that has quality perlons?

>>61090658
What price range? At the lower end, Casio makes one with a tank-like design (rectangular).

>>61090795
The curved blue hand indicates the date, not the time of day.

>>61090824
I'll look forward to the pics. Yours have been significantly better than mine. Since the deployant didn't fit well on the shi-chen, have a replacement ready for the moonphase.

>>61090924
The perlon I got from WatchBandit is more comfortable than my Eulit kirstal. Eulit does make blue, greyish blue, and grey straps though

>>61089656
>you eh-spent 5000 dollars, is like eef you put mahney in safe depoh-seet bawx

>>61090989
Thanks, I'm thinking something brown for the moonphase. Might be a while though if I win the eBay auctions I'm watching.

>>61090989
Wait, are you suggesting WatchBandit makes perlons that are as good or better than EULIT?

>>61084213
what even is that? chink websites are confusing to buy from because they refuse to use a real alphabet like the rest of the world. if they were easier, i'd own a vintage seagull, beijing, shanghai or dongfeng by now.

>>61091110
It's a moonphase and date pointer.

>>61091012
I'll probably try it on a light brown eventually. Good luck on the auctions anon.

>>61091038
Better? I'm not sure how it will hold up in the long term, but it is definitely more comfortable. The Kristal was too stuff for my taste. It was a big step up from the cheapnatostraps perlon I tried, but still not as soft as the "premium" WatchBandit one. I do still want to try an Eulit Palma, since those look comfier.

>>61091110
Same brand as >>61083805. A little more expensive on Good-Stuffs than full-Chinese sites, but they have solid English descriptions of the watches.

>>61065466

How is this even remotely considered a nice watch? Looks so bad.

I'm thinking about buying a vintage chronograph from Peru but I'm not sure if they sell genuine watches or som thrown together piece of junk.
Has anyone had any experience with watches from Peru? Or are they just like Phillipines watches with loads of fake parts in it?

>>61091621
You look bad you ugly fuck.

I'm thinking of about buying a vintage fucboi chronograph from Nepal but I am not sure if they are genuine fucboi or some thrown together junk.
Has anyone had experience with Fucboi watches from Nepal?Or are they just like flips where they are all fucboi all the time?

>>61066467
>Rolexes were mostly 36mm
gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

Where can I get a mechanical watch that will track the solar eclipse of August 21 for me in real time?

>>61091745

Those tiny vintage watches look like pennies strapped to girly bracelets.

>>61091718
english pls nigger. if you mean "should i buy a watch from nepal?" the answer is no

>>61091774
Vacheron would make one custom for you, I'm sure. Might be pricey though.
