All this arguing about 6R15s VS 2824s and no one mentions the fact the 2824 cannot use its hand wind function for extended use without breaking.

I'm looking to buy a smart watch, budget is around $100, I want it to trach my health a little bit (i'm not a fitness nut but i like to know if im sleeping well) and I want it to maybe use an app or two for call answering and shit. Is this possible, or is it only a dream? recommendations?

As it so happens, I'm pretty autistic in my preference for watches so steel cased date or day/date watches with baton indices and dauphine hands is like ~90% of the watches I like.

Besides, Daini was always more obsessed with movement design anyway.

Yeah this is true. After hanging out here and then talking to other watch people you seem pretty cynical. Also isn't great when someone shows you their omega and you have to stop yourself from sperging out about their shitty adoption of Daniels coaxial escapement and sub par finishing.

SARB033 is good value for the money.

I have the 035 and an Explorer too and I just happened to post pictures of both in the last thread >>61531088 . The SARB is definitely more Datejust than Explorer though if you must compare it to a Rolex. It's more elegant and less sporty. It's a great watch, I would highly recommend it. Prices seem to have gone up a bit from what I remember paying for mine, though.

is it a good idea to purchase a vintage watch ?

I'm very tempted to buy this Tudor Oyster Royal from 1960 ref 7934
but it might need some servicing due to its age

what alternatives do I have for a nice mechanical dress watch around 34mm up to 36mm in diameters (no higher) below the 800 mark ?

>>61533619
I'm not familiar with that particular reference but that case looks polished to shit, avoid that one. You need to do lots of research if you want to buy vintage and not get screwed. It will absolutely need servicing and it will not be cheap, vintage watches are great and beautiful but they are not cheap to own. If you want a nice mechanical dress watch in that size then you'll probably have to buy something vintage, though.

>>61533619
1 vote for vintage, if the one you planning to buy is in good condition, the service won't cost you much. Mine only cost about $50.

>>61533619
Also post the one you planning to buy in here, we pretty autism about them so we can help you see if the watch is shit or not.

thx for the feedback, I have quite a small wrist around 16cm circonference but pretty flat, I kinda got tired of wearing big watches around 40-42mm and I feel like a good 34 to 36 mm could look really nice.

I have found some Stowa KS at 35.5mm they look very nice but also pretty modern as opposed to this tudor.

Both of their movement still in pretty good conditions base on the pic but the first one is kinda weird with the seamaster case back. I recommend looking for a steel omega or a solid gold one, plated will look bad after you wear them a couple of times.
Pics related is my seamaster.

I do want a sarg009 but it's too expensive now. I know there are some stores I can find where they haven't sold it but I'm not sure how to find one. my best bet is probably a store in Asia.

Why are only Francophones good at making attractive watches?

>>61537819
Rakuten has it for $340 US, so depending on how much you are willing to pay that could do it. Regardless, I think it might be good to wait a bit as opposed to trying to buy something immediately. You can save up as you wait as well.

>>61537963
nah it's sold out on rakuten. this watch is going for like 600+ now. only way to pay retail is to find it in a store that hasn't sold it since it's been discontinued.

That particular watch has a more desirable movement and is slightly more rare than its contemporary competition. Prices are pretty level across the board for watches of this sort in this condition even if the movement has been fucked with .. which I can guarantee has happened.

The 29 jewel Poljot 2415 automatic movement is very high grade for a commie movement, because if this production numbers were low. Think of the "De Luxe" series as the Grand Poljot. I'd say $100 is not bad for a watch so sophisticated for its time. The only reason it doesn't use a Breguet hairspring is because it was meant to be very thin for an auto.

The WR of the classic 80's terrorist models is vastly understated. My F-91W passed 5 bars in a pressure tester. This goes for other Jap watches as well that are only "water resistant", my 1975 Seiko 5Actus with original gaskets also passed a 5 bar test.

But of course this is no guarantee, I believe these watches just aren't as vigorously tested, so there's no telling how many of the same model are watertight and how many are just splashproof.

For a girl maybe. My 1975 Seiko with a 7019 movement is 37.4mm and probably the same thickness, you'd have the same "problem" in the 1970's. Only back then the watch salesman would openly call you a peter-puffer queer and beat you with a rubber hose if you dared say the watch was "massive" (you don't seem to have this problem with the nigger dicks going up you ass, huh :^) ).

Seriously you picked one of the most faked watch models on Earth. I believe you that it's genuine but you'll always be carrying the stigma in public of wearing a chink fake.

Nah, just dropped by at my local watch shop.

Tried a Speedmaster, Seamaster 300, and Pelagos as well.
Expected to like the Navitimer least, but ended up liking it the best.

Fucking spensive though. Even second-hand.

I was considering the Sinn 903 which is cheaper and 41mm, but after trying on the 43mm Breitling I think the Sinn is going to be too small now.

>>61543614
The Sinn has (aside from the size difference one distinct advantage: it's actually water resistant. One small plus: caseback display.
Disadvantages are: The dial and chronograph second hand look too pedestrian without the Breitling logos and the bezel is now operated by the crown which slows down the use of the calulating, if you ever actually end up using it.
I also don't like how it doesn't come with a tachymetric scale.

>>61543407
That is a flight computer watch you are wearing in a casual setting. It is meant to wear big. Imagine if that was a "dress" watch and you were wearing a suit? it would be too large would it not?

Yeah, but that doesn't make any sense. It's hardly as if they couldn't design a smaller movement or dust off the 4s15 if they wanted to make smaller designs. I don't get it either. The only two things I'd change on the SDGM003 are have it be 38mm and have the movement be a 4s15 instead of the 6r15.

>>61545692
Holy shit. Apparently they didn't even inform Seiko Watch Co that they were planning this. I guess the rivalry never died.

It uses a very respectable 8L35, which is basically the foundation for the legendary Springdrive, and it's a reissue of a historic Seiko watch.

Additionally, it's a very limited edition.

What do you think they should selling for?

>>61545997
yes

>>61545997
Why are there so few decent cheap women's watches? Women's watches are 99.9% fashion dogshit, even all the Seikos and Orients and lower end Swatch brands are awful flowery fake diamond encrusted shit. It's not until you get to like Rolex, Cartier, and JLC that you get some nice options. My girlfriend keeps asking me to recommend a decent watch for a few hundred dollars, but there's so few options. I think I might try to talk her into a Seiko Dolce or something.

>>61546222
the 8l35 is a very good movement but its a high beat 6r15.. its not costing seiko much to make the damn thing. Its unregulated and the watch they are putting it in does not look like its worth 3500 dollars. Would you really buy that over a used explorer or a speedmaster or tudor or vintage rolex or omega or universal geneve?

Yeah something like this looks pretty decent, 34mm and pretty simple and classy with a nice low-maintenance thermocompensated quartz and diashield and sapphire crystal and all that seems like a great choice for someone who isn't a watch autist. $400 is kind of steep though and then on top of that the strap is absolutely disgusting so it would need a new one. I'm pretty sure Dolce is the men's line and there's probably a matching smaller women's Exceline but I'm not sure what the model name is, but 34mm is pretty reasonable anyway.

>It has no technical merit
except beating all your obsolete mechanical watches in every technical aspect

>over paying
you are even paying exorbitant amounts more for your luxury goods with outdated technology

fundamentally it's asinine to be willing to pay more for technologically inferior mechanical movements just because their production can't be as efficient as quartz.
normally production of inferior products cease when something better comes along.
the inferior product does not move upwards and becomes luxury.

most of your designs are from obsolete tool watches for work that you will never do.
in contrast, fashion designs do not pretend to be more than they are.

>>61554553
>fashion designs do not pretend to be more than they are.
I'd bet good money the vast majority of fashion watches are a LOT more overpriced than mechanical watches are.

>>61554594
unlikely
quartz movement is valued at like $1
so the intrinsic value of an vastly inferior mechanical movement is like $.1

>>61554644

You can see the anglage chatter even in this shitty pic.

>>61554975
bullshit.
you won't be an executive for long if you don't know the difference between production cost and market price.
Swiss watchmakers learned it the hard way during the quartz crisis when they couldn't compete with US & Japanese quartz on price.
only a few lucky ones were able to move upmarket and be luxury.

>>61555172
And you won't be an executive for long if you sell your product for less than the production/labor cost.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

The chamfering on the edges of the main plates that hold the movement together.

On something like a Patek, you'd expect those edges to be hand-polished, but you can tell from the repeating marks that they're just roughly cut.

Oh these things. I see....

How do you pronounce Jaeger le coultre

>>61555357
Jaeger is originally a Germanic name (though the guy was French), Lecoultre is a French name.

Seeing how Swiss watchmaking is largely Francophone, you'd say "zhé-zhé luh-cool-truh".

>And you won't be an executive for long if you sell your product for less than the production/labor cost.
that never was even an option

there's like two valid options:
a) cease production since you can't turn a profit
b) market yourself as luxury
most Swiss chose a), a few went b)
all in all between 1970 and 1988 Swiss watch employment fell from 90,000 to 28,000

>>61555357
Jay-ger lah cunter

Just like Archie would say.

>>61555437
>http://vocaroo.com/i/s1rZm3eioUaB
this is correct

>>61555490
If you want to make a profit, you better know damn well what your production/labor costs are.
It's one of the most basic things in capitalist profit-making.

>>61555312
Patek never give a shit their finishing on anything other then the high end model.

>>61555350
Yup, the finishing on the top Seikos beats the snot out of a lot of much more expensive Swiss offerings.
The Swiss king of watchmaking, Philippe Dufour, even says so.

>>61555437
Wtf really? I don't understand where the z sound comes in but thanks for showing me.

>>61555541
Seikos finishing is good but i never really like their style, the movement finish of all the GS never speak to me desu.

I have a soft spot for Journe

>>61555685
It's between a z and a sh. Not that hard to understand.

>>61555741
Lange tends to have much better finishing than the Swiss offerings in the same price range.

The Swiss have been resting on their laurels, coasting on their reputation, no two ways about it.

>>61555801
Ya Journe style is pretty cool too, too bad you will need to send them the watch everytime you need service because you need muh "special tool" to even open the caseback

An old design can be gaudy dogshit. Just because something is old doesn't make it a timeless and cherished design.

sarb035 that runs 8 minutes slow?

>>61554553
I think you completely miss the point. With fashion brand watches you can buy identical looking watches with the same cheap movements, be it quartz or ETA copy, for a fraction of the price. You pay a huge premium for the name.

>>61557540
No, the fact that it's the Navitimer makes it a timeless and cherished design.

Anyone here done timezone watch school? I think I'll sign up sooner rather than later.

>>61557819
did you even read it.
you are just repeating yourself.
> identical looking watches
was answered.
luxury watches with their same old conservative styles that have no function anymore are no better
>cheap movements, be it quartz
was answered
if you say quartz is cheap value,
mechanical watches must have an even lower intrinsic value as they are technologically inferior
>You pay a huge premium for the name.
in absolute terms it's peanuts compared to luxury watches with absolute worse antique movements
in relative terms profit margins for both luxury watches and fashion watches will be about the same

It seems the fucker quit his job or got fired too early to ""retire'" Now he thinks he can E-Celeb it for the rest of his life.

That being said he's not totally fucked, didn't he sell a gold dub for like 20-25k a year ago? He could take that $ to another part of Asia and be fine. At the least TGV kept his real job while doing youtube.

It's becuase this fucker and his bitch wrists complains in every fucking video he makes that the watch should be 38mm or smaller.

I've done the first part. It's okay enough for the price, but there's nothing very remarkable about the content.

Right?

Yeah it's just webpages. There's a watch expert you can ask questions of, but the answer is generally "take it apart and put it together better this time" (of course that's often the right advice).

>>61545720
My wife already had a vintage Omega Dynamic when I met her, suits her perfectly so no need to buy anything else.

My mother in law has a two-tone square Constellation so I cannot give her that.

My other option is a Cartier Tank but instead I got her a green F91W (she's a doctor and that's handy in the hospital)
