Breitling is alright. They use modified, COSC-certified ETA movements for the date complication watches and their finishing is pretty nice.

I actually like the Superocean overall, given that you buy used.

>>61320534
Those are not that old and they are essentially worthless. Oreint's tri star line is basically like the seiko 5.

>>61320534
They might be worth installing new crystals into. Those, apart from the crystals, look to be in pretty good shape as far as vintage shitters go. You might be able to sucker someone out of as much as $50 for them if they keep time.

My mechanical watches are a mix of Swiss and Japanese because both countries make good mechanicals, but Seiko really has absolutely dominated in quartz from the very beginning. Most Swiss quartz watches are nothing more than cheaper also-ran shitters for people who wanted a mechanical watch but settled for the cheaper quartz one. The exceptions to that, stuff like the Rolex Oysterquartz, are few and far between and pretty much nonexistent these days.

I know nothing about it but the second pusher was for a date change on an inferior movement. They will never move back to the shittier movement. These are also dive watches and you want fewer holes in the case of a dive watch.

Yeah, it's me. I assume you mean weirder than linen dials?

Nihil obstat my friend.

>>61333031
It's not the same clock friendo.

>>61333038
I don't see any difference besides the dial colour.

>>61331491
It's a combination of the demand for larger size watches, "Newman" dials were not very popular on the original release - only 2000 or so were ever made which makes them rare, Newman was always seen wearing one and was always seen as one of the coolest actors ever, and because his original watch had vanished. Add to that the fact the demand for rare vintage Rolexes has skyrocketed in the 10-15 years, the last few years especially, with Newman Daytonas being often described as the main reason why.

Taken all together it's little reason that when his watch goes up for auction later this year it's expected to reach $10m+

>>61326238
The Tudor has a rugged charm, and the cream indices and red lettering improve its personality compared to the regular black and blue versions.

But there's still a lot of text on the dial, the case is not only tall-ish but also blocky, and it sucks that the date window replaces the entire hour marker.
Really fucks up the symmetry, especially in the dark where a dive watch is supposed to really sing.

The Omega is very true to the original seamaster 300 and looks fantastic.
The numeral hour markers are beautiful and true to the original numerals.
There's no date window, so the symmetry is perfect.
Also, no novel on the dial.

There is a lot of bling going on with the Omega; that metal ring between the ceramic of the bezel and the crystal, the hands, the tops of the lugs, and most of all the centre links of the bracelet, ...
Putting it on a nato helps it a lot though.

>>61329379
I also forgot to ask how that 613x is treating you? It's a neat looking design, though as with most Suwa movements, the movement can be a bit of a pain.

>>61335053

To add: A lot of the time dogshit watches will be "one sale" at a huge discount just to make it seem enticing, meanwhile even the "discount" price is far more than the watch is worth.
