/wt/ watch thread

mad thread.

>>61218694
Quick question.
Say im looking for a watch with a visible tourbillion that
A) is not shit at time keeping
B) is somewhat affordable (400 bucks tops)

>>61218865
Nope. Cheapest Chinese tourbillon is 500usd+. If you want a visible balance wheel (that isn't a tourbillon) find something from orient, they have good timekeeping and decent looks for the price.

Guys my sne437 is keeping time too well. I keep trying to hook it up to a timer and regulate it but it's never off. Also It never needs to be wound or set when not worn for a little while?

What can I do? A watch is supposed to be an unreliable thing that is always gaining or losing time and quits if you don't wear it for a few hours and needs costly servicing, but I never have to take mine to a watch repair shop

i feel left out

what do?

>How good is the Seiko solar tech?

It's about the same. The battery lasts about 15 years, one day of charging in the sun keeps it going for 10 months

>>61225497
It's too much hassle to sell off the watches I don't want anymore, and they're not really worth all that much anyway. So I make myself rotate and wear all of them at least sometimes, but I would rather just have like 3 or 4 of them. I think my collection is pretty complete too, I don't really want anything new.

What's the cheapest radio controlled terrorist watch? Solar charging is a bonus but not necessary.

I don't want to spend money on a g-shock because my $15 one will probably last longer than me already, but it's somewhat annoying having to set its time constantly. Are there any middle ground alternatives that don't cost $100-150+ and don't make you pay for showing the tide, the moon phase, the cicada breeding season, etc.?

>>61226637
Rolex sort of copied blancpain (though that's debatable, they were being developed at the same time), but then everyone else copied Rolex.

>>61221560
What?

SO for GMT the British go out of form, leaving the AM/PM abomination and chose a 24 h dial,
while the Germans go for AM/PM when using a UTC hand`

That makes perfect no sense.

Is this a cool watch or what?

I'm 35.

>>61229625
This watch is quartz, but the chrono hand beats 5 times per second, like on an automatic movement.

And since this is a solar watch, could you keep the chrono hand running 24/7 without fear of draining the battery?

>>61227896
I was on my way back from camping on a lake when i took that photo. I paddled and swam in the lake with that watch but at night around the fire it was useless... last time i wore a Vostok and i had to take it off to chop wood, could not see the shitty lume ,and it had rust on it by the time i got back.

>>61228962
BLK P L A S T I C

>>61229711
Probably. Assuming its the same movement as sna411 the chrono can run for like 3 months before a battery change.

>>61229766
This is a solar watch though, it gets recharged by light.

Not sure if the added drainage reduces the lifetime of the electronics though.

You're not going to get a reliable fully skeletonized modern watch at that price. You can look at orient, which makes good watches at a good price with some partial skeletonization, or try to get lucky with some vintage piece.

Atmos clocks are fantastic. The idea of a clock that can sit on a desk and run without running out of energy is so well executed and watching the torsion wheel go back and forth is pretty hypnotic. There are even tons on eBay super cheap.

>>61233906
Nah thanks thats a little steep for me. I'd prefer closer to 50, for 100 it would have to be really spectacular with date and day.

>>61233925
What makes it go? I'm assuming you wind it up with a key or something

>>61233976
There's a vial of glass inside. The gas expands and contracts with ambient temperature, and that expansion and contraction winds the mainspring.

A two degree variance in temperature is I believe enough to wind the clock to run for 24 hours.

>How cheap are we talking? I've always thought the Atmos seemed really cool but I'm not looking to spend thousands on a desk clock. And how much maintenance do they need anyway? I assume that movement is really delicate.
not that guy but you can find them cheap because normies buy them then never service them. They can be quite expensive to get running and keeping good time if they have not been taken care of

>>61234096
You can buy 30 year old Atmos clocks in eBay for well under a grand. The service interval for an Atmos in good condition is quite long. I'd expect you to be able to get an Atmos that is in fair condition serviced for a couple hundred dollars. Should be able to be decently less than 1500 altogether, quite possibly less - a lot has to do with whether the one you buy is any good.

They're better than rotary - fossil has decent QC and will stand behind returns. Rotary is one of those brands notorious for horrible QC and watches that die in a few months.

That's not really to say fossil is /good/, in terms of their pricing and movement and finishing quality, but if they have what you want and you're okay with the price you'll be okay.

A well maintained Atmos clock will live a long time. I believe a modern one has a quoted service interval of ten to twenty years.

>>61235017
>Holy shit that's incredible. What's the lifetime on it.
It has to be set up perfectly level and not be fucked with or moved without locking the balance wheel. If you want to move it across the room or if you are moving you can't just stick it in a box and move it or you will fuck it up, people don't know that.

When you see a $5000 clock on ebay for $400 you should have questions, lots of questions

Speaking of JLC's....

What's the technology behind the Geophysic line? Is there anything or is it just name branding

>>61235197
There's no special tech. The deadbeat (sorry, "true beat") second is a cool complication but nothing that hasn't been done before.

>>61235243
Is that a mechanical which ticks once per second ?

>>61235262
The balance wheel inside oscillates multiple times per second; there is an additional contraption in the watch that takes the many-per-second advances of the escape wheel and turns them into a once-per-second advancement of the second hand. Up to you whether that counts as "ticking' once per second. If you hold the watch up to your ear, you'll hear many ticking noises per second (just like any traditional mechanical watch), because the ticking noise in a mechanical watch comes from the escpament, not the second hand.

>>61235236
>http://www.crownandbuckle.com/elden-black-label-strap.html
yeah I like it.

>>61235262
Yes, sort of. The movement ticks several times per second but the second hand ticks once per second. It's also called seconde morte if you're pretentious. It used to be a cool desirable complication until quartz watches came out which all ticked like that, then it stopped being cool. Even Rolex made some deadbeat watches for a while, and they're not very big on complications. Lately it's sort of coming back into fashion I guess.

At what price point do they become not shit?


What makes are famous for them,?

>>61236230
You mean like a day/night indicator? Those are usually just a cheap stand-in for a moonphase and tend to pop up in cheap watches.

>>61236230
Like a 24 hour indicator? Fucking useless excuse for a complication.

>>61236354
>>61236363
Sorry, I did mean a moon phase.

>>61236383

There are various different types, in order of increasing complication & price

> 24h indicator
> moon phase
> annual calendar
> perpetual calendar

>>61236383
At the cheapest end there is a slav quartz model.
Then, if you can settle for a seagull movement you can find a few for around 300.
For luxury watches, the JLC MUT moon is nice. The new moonphase Cellini is pretty cool by Rolex. Omega also has them in some speedmasters.

So I'd say that "not shit" is at $350, but the Archies among us might say $8500 for the JLC.

>>61244040

Why the Orion specifically?

It uses the Peseux 7001 as opposed to Nomos ' in house DUW 3001.

The 7001 is a perfectly good movement, one of the better ETAs ever made actually, but at $2k it's a bitch much imho .

Also, huge difference in power reserve. One of the things I like most about my Metro is the 70 hour reserve.

I'm gonna do the unthinkable /wt/, and I'm going to use a dive watch for snorkeling. Is Zulu (3 or 5 ring) more secure than Nato? I've been swimming with nato before and the force of the water was enough to fold out the end of the strap from under the rings a few times. I do have a Citizen rubber strap but I don't trust springbars either.

Also what is the best neon color for the strap in case it DOES fall off and I have to look for it? Lime, orange, yellow or what?

The orion is the best looking. I'm going for a dress watch.
Also the alpha, although based on the peseux 7001 it's still wholly made by Nomos instead of sourced from a third party. (Except for hairspring and shock resistance)

I'd like the DUW 3001 as well but not in any of the watches they currently sell.
I wasn't aware that it had a higher power reserve though.

I'll have it tested. Again. It's an Amphibia so I'll be pressure testing it at both half a bar and as far as the machine can go (either 5 or 10 bar). I feel this is necessary with compressor-case watches, their Achilles-heel is that they're perfectly watertight at higher pressures but might leak near the surface.

Also even if it's a shitty Amphibia I spent a lot of time modding it so I'd hate for it to fall off, especially since I'm a mediocre swimmer moron who never even snorkeled before.

My 1975 7019C does 260° dial up which I think is not bad for a 7000 series that was never serviced and ran dry as fuck for decades. Though I did have to replace the balance for a new one, the pivots were worn short.

2013?

Then you should know better already.

I'm looking at amazon.de, and the prices for nato straps seem to vary a lot.

Is there much difference between a 6€ nato and a 24€ one?

Daini Seikosha was one of the better production movement designers of the 1970s, and very few of their movement designs had any nasty tendencies. The 51xx, 52xx, 19xx, 68xx, and 70xx were all fundamentally sound designs, with only the 45xx having a tendency to excessive wear (though it's accuracy made up for that). Hell, two of those movements are still in use by Credor (the 52xx as the 4s15 and the 68xx was the basis for Credor's recent tourbillon).

7000 series are still in use too as the 7S26 (and the 6R and 4R series), with a lot of parts being interchangeable as far as having the same part number as the 70's versions.

I totally didn't realize the 7sXX/4RXX/6RXX were based that heavily on the 70xx. That's really interesting.

Their hm series is a bit of an abomination but the lm101 is quite nice.

Looking to get a band like this.
Any idea where? Obviously not a Rolex one, looking to spend MAX $50, not $2400.

As a heads up, you are very likely to be disappointed by the quality of cheap metal bracelets.

>>61246736
For what watch? If your budget were a little higher you could try strapcode.
Your best shot might be chink shit at that price though.

/g/ actually went down for a while this morning

A cheap ass quartz that's going to get beat to hell. It's not for any of my nice watches.
Honestly, the cheaper the better as long as it looks like that and is decent.
I'm fine with chink shit.

Why does somebody still need to wear a watch when they are carrying a cellular phone all the time?
