Nice collection. More pics of the Landmaster please.

>>61701993

I just grabbed it from WUS. I do own the watch on the very left and the one on the very right though.

The Landmaster is just too big.

>>61702023
Take some more pictures of the 62mas remake, then. It looks really nice.

things are engineered and finished to work perfectly so things start getting shittier over time.. sometimes a bit of slop works out if not everything was made perfectly but it typically is not engineered in.

Yeah it's mine, I like it a lot. Always catch myself looking at it and it packs a lot in for its price. Only downside I would say is the slower ticking speed and the rotor is a little loud

Newbie here, what's the consensus on Ingersoll? And is there a guide I can look at it something

>>61703212
The rose gold one is gorgeous too. I got mine through Massdrop so my choices were the cream or black dial, but at $349 it was hard to beat the price

I was thinking about 4 hours ago, that my 3 ultimate watch collection would be a speedmaster pro, a ceramic sub no date, and a reverso.

then I see the photo in the other thread. ha! how cool.

I was also looking into the orient mako II.
I just can't decide, I really like the blue color of the mako. Man I'm torn

>>61706817

I know its money, but it's not a lot of money, if you like it choose the common option and go for the mako, but if you want to try something that noone has (well I bet nobody in your circle has seiko skx or makos ) you could go the helm route. In either case if you don't like it just put it on watchexchange on reddit and sell it, you won't lose a lot of money if it's in good condition. Whataver you choose, just do it , $300 won't make you poor. And sorry for the shitty English.

Watches should be below a certain price and rugged, they are to be used and they'll get scratches and get knocked up. No way I'd invest money in the equivalent of having a fetus on my arm I've always got to be aware of and tip toeing around.
It's a tool for me, I'm not a tool for it.
They shouldn't be too big or weigh a ton.
It's my comfort not the watches well being that's the priority.
Am I alone in thinking this?
£50 is the cut off point, any recommendations anyone? Digital preferably.

Tiny crown. No crown guard. Lumed? Unlikely. excessive text on face, overloaded and untidy. Finish is bad, looks like it was opened during a sand storm.

I'm looking for my first mechanical watch and really like the skx013, what do you think guys is the movement too old/inaccurate to invest today? Also would it fit me well since I'm a 16.5cm/6.5 inch circumference wristlet?

>>61709445
Their dress watches are pretty and decently finished, but the watch overall is well overpriced for the movement it contains. While iwc isnt as bad as folks like panerai, they're part of the trend of making oversized "dress" watches with essentially the same movement as a $600 Hamilton and charging 10-20x as much. As a result they won't get much love here.

That said, their ultra high complications (like their recent astronomical watch) are decent - would love to see them do more of that.

I doubt that's even possible, since they use different movements with different sizes. Also I'd lose the thinness, which make dress watches cool.

Could the Soviets really not get their hands on some damn stainless steel? Why are all of their watches the same chromed pot metal bullshit?

>>61713636
Do you know how fucking poor Russia has always been? They literally only have shit because they forced millions of people to make it for them for free. From the Czars to the Soviet Union they did the same exact fucking thing... now they have nothing. the thinly gold plated shit quality stainless was reserved for the commanders aircraft engineers and party leaders

>>61713463
This is actually un-ironically true. The Bolsheviks and party leaders were all Jews. They Killed tens of millions of ethnic Russians, and then engineered the communist revolt and china and are pretty much directly responsible in total for well over 100 million deaths. Not even a /pol tard but this shit actually did happen and it is all documented.

Amphibias are made of stainless since they're built as tools for divers, but you need to remember that chromed brass/alloy is a lot cheaper than machining steel, and a lot more people in the Soviet Union are going to be buying Povedas and Poljots with what little they make.

>>61713758
Real shit though, what about the Jewish purges and forced migrations that Stalin did during his time in power? All these Masonic watches are definitely post WWII.

>>61702296
>>61702918
I have always admired the subtle symmetry of a overly thick watch, the tower of a case combined with a petite wrist raises this style to a whole new level, to a level i would be proud of.
>>61702519
The classic design with Patek in-house momevent makes this watch a keeper in the dress watch section, what a wonderfull piece.

A soviet pobeda watch has always been on my horological bucket list, very elegant design, the case shape makes it stand out from the crowd. What a bold timepiece! Love the dial, love the case and i love the nato strap.

Casio is a company with a long history in high end horology, their quartz watches, especially their digital quartzes, are among the best in the world. I love the retroesque design of these digital casios, they take me back in time. With a few bucks you get yourself a solid, quality piece of horological history!

>>61715265
>accidentally bought without price checking.
Yeah nah you're fucked. Just suck it up and take the loss. Or if you're a total scumbag and the lowest of the low, you could smash the watch when it arrives and file a dispute through PayPal and claim that the watch arrived broken.

>>61715353
You should've checked first.

>>61713937
Is it plated? If not, then sure, but otherwise I'd just pick a different one from the collection.

>>61714426
It is C12 that is converted to C14 in reactors. Article is here:
>http://www.bristol.ac.uk/cabot/news/2016/diamond-battery.html
>However, they are now working to significantly improve efficiency by utilising carbon-14, a radioactive version of carbon, which is generated in graphite blocks used to moderate the reaction in nuclear power plants. Research by academics at Bristol has shown that the radioactive carbon-14 is concentrated at the surface of these blocks, making it possible to process it to remove the majority of the radioactive material. The extracted carbon-14 is then incorporated into a diamond to produce a nuclear-powered battery.

Rather than electric power you could use it to stimulate a luminescent material. Or you could have a luminescent fully lumed face and electric converter on the reverse side.

Sup /wt/, here is a wrist shot of the Sumo that came in today.
Non-potato photos coming soon™.

>>61717791
how much did you pay for that

>>61717791
I really love the case design on this watch but the prospect of spending a bunch of money to get a better bracelet, bezel, and sapphire is a massive turn-off.

>>61717791
Nice. Damn I wish I could pull that off but I have small wrists.

>>61717858
I actually really like the bezel. It grew on me a lot. If it breaks, I'm definitely getting domed sapphire, but I'm happy as it is. Probably going to get an Angus jubilee though. The case impressed me a lot more in-person than in photos.

>>61717838
345 burgerbucks. The back of the bracelet had a few scuffs and there is a tiny scratch on the bezel near 10, but it was in better condition than most of the 003s I've seen.

>>61717908
Thanks. If you'd like, I can go for a fisheye-looking shot and we can convince ourselves it is too big for me.

I'm not a jew, so I wanna buy it off him at a fair price.

It's currently in a box so he'll send me some pics after he unpacks I'm sure.
Looks like it's in nice condition, but that's aesthetics, no idea if it works or not.

I was gonna offer like 50, and if it works 150-200. I have a Spaceview, so I got the right batteries. It will def need an expensive service, even if it runs.

Archie, even with his repetitive inane ramblings and general ozcunt retardation, at least shits out a nugget of, if not gold, then something remarkable that you may not have thought of before; perhaps a different point of view on something that had never occurred to you. Rare, but it can happen. He's much like this entire bhutanese penisdragon enthusiast's support group in that regard.

For the 007 you can do almost anything, since virtually everything can go with black. However, black PVD straps are generally pretty shitty. Strapcode is probably the way to go if you don't want to use a NATO.

If the watch face had a different colour, you could pull out your color wheel and go full /fa/(implying they wear colors).

Please do not do that.
Shitposting aside, they just look off and I don't know why. Stainless cases look fine on black NATOs, Perlons, and PVD/Silicone straps, but black metal just looks trashy. As for colors, just ask yourself what goes with black and silver, and if you want the strap to pull attention from the watch or not.

What's the deal with these Indian sellers of old Seiko's and shit, legit or what?

>>61721716
NO! Do not fall for the pajeet special! they are crudely cobbled together parts. Don't buy any watch from india or one that looks like one of those poo watches.

>>61721716
Yeah, they're legitimately shit. Probably contaminated with literal shit, too.

There used to be a copy pasta about pajeets dying in a rickshaw accident and their watches getting stolen and sold on ebay, that's the most plausible story I've found for why there's so many truly awful shit condition terribly repainted Seiko 5s coming out of India.

>>61721716
Ask yourself that again, and maybe check the seller's feedback. There's always a chance that they're legit, or are selling shitty quartz movements in Seiko cases. Make sure it's genuine feedback and not "he mke verry good watch ... boss say good thing abt it - Rahj Singh"

Is there a such thing as a comfy metal band?
Leather looks old man, chainlink is too formal and rubber looks casual, but i can't stand the metal band on my seiko anymore.

>>61721830
What seiko do you have? Most comfy style is jubilee from my experience. Though I have heard those expansion ones can be comfy or total hair pullers.

Fuck you man, I know unironically want graphic natos, especially this one, for black watches.

>>61721830
Yes, of course there is. The omega 1125 bracelet & engineer bracelet on my memesplorer are quite comfy.

>>61721830
I've never found any watch uncomfortable, what's wrong with it? I think I have experience from some real shitters to some great bracelets, and almost all of my watches have bracelets because that's what I like. At worst some folded link bracelets might pull a few hairs the first few times you wear them but that goes away.

I got this today but I don't seem to understand the auto illuminiator concept...or perhaps mine is broken.

The first time I turned the auto illum on in a dark room the watch flickered the backlight twice then shut off. Now it doesn't do anything no matter how dark the room or circumstance.

What is this? Did I break it?

>>61722112
Sounds fucked, but just in case I suggest you RTFM.

Asked this yesterday but is there anything like the guides they have in headphone generals for watches? Also can anyone give any recommendations if I like old 80s Seiko's some of the old USSR stuff (mainly for the hipster/cool that it's a a part a of history type thing) and am a big fan of the Orient star that was posted in this thread.

Am looking for a daily driver that'll be used for uni/parties etc Price wise looking to spend around £200/$225 and am far from afraid of buying used.

If you going to make a new one then include some vintage brand in there too.

Is it okay to wear a diver watch if I never dove nor intend to ever do it?
I just like the style and sturdiness.

Is there a "dress code" that applies to it? I mean I could imagine myself wearing it with both a suit and casual or sports cloth

People wear Speedmasters and racing chronographs even though they've never gone 15 over the speed limit, why should you be barred from owning a diver if you've never gone deeper than 15 feet? Dive watches are also generally built pretty damn rugged so you could say it's a tool watch.
As for dress codes; don't wear it with a suit (you're not James Bond), and don't put it on a leather strap.

I'm not one to judge, but the superiors at work that you're trying to impress might.

What's a good watch to buy around $200-$300 or below? I want to buy one for my dad cause it's his birthday.

>>61723245
I'm no corporate guy.
Actually I'm working for the government in Germany and the hierarchy is pretty shallow.
Quite frankly neither do I care about my subordinates nor will superiors care about my style.
What I had in mind was more the "going to a friends wedding" kinda style

>>61723275
Yeah in that case fuck it, might as well.

>>61723245
Not him but most normalfag don't really give a shit about watches in general.

Thinking of sellign the Ripley. It's gained around £150 since I bought it like 3 months ago!
Might buy a rep IWC to replace it with. What are some good rep sites?

how to shorten the silicone strap properly, so it doesn't look dodgy?

I'd buy it if Seiko didn't put the worst possible movement in it.

It's definitely expensive for what it is.

>pointless 24 hour subdial
>date window cutting directly into the subidal instead of placing it somewhere between 4 and 5 o'clock
Also generally not following the subdial functions of the original. I kinda think the Giuigaro reissues are just a quick cash-grab from Seiko even if they didn't market the Aliens aspect of them at all. Pic related, these have $5 movements inside.

>>61725979
I generally agree. I really wish it didn't have the date window and I'd prefer an hour counter over the 24 hour dial. Its still a great looking watch though and I'm happy to be gaining money on it.

Why are you fgts so anti-rep? You agree with corporations overcharging for watches just for the luxury value? Jesus christ, how cucked are you to SWATCH GROUP PLC®?
Do you even know their profit margins?!

best watch for outdoor stuff? not gshock also I'm unsure if triple sensor watches are a meme since the compass doesn't have bearings

>>61728032
You'd rather get overcharged by some Chinese asshole for a watch that falls apart and is the opposite of luxury value? How cucked are you by Dong Peng Feng Industries? Do you even know their profit margins?!

>>61728033
Probably a G-shock or some sort of digital watch if you really want the most rugged watch possible. If you're not really hammering the shit out of your watch then probably any decent diver would be a good choice, quartz tends to be more shock resistant so maybe some sort of Casio. But honestly I've always hiked with my SKX007 even though it's mechanical and doesn't have any ABC shit or any of that, it's held up perfectly fine.

>>61728033
triple sensor watches are a meme.. get a vostok or an skx.
