The switch from 14270 to 114270 was an upgrade from the 3000 movement to 3130 and from folded endlinks to solid ones. I think more subtle changes happened gradually, so some later 14270s have no drilled lugs and I think some even had luminova lume and the upgraded clasp and stuff. I haven't been able to find a super detailed list of minor changes over time for Explorers like there are for Submariners, I guess the Explorer is just a lot less popular with collector autists.

Pic is an early 114270. Also worth noting they have a glossy dial unlike the matte dial of the 1016 so I wonder what will happen to that over time. Maybe one day it'll be all crusty and cracked so I can sell it for a gorillion dollars since vintage Rolex collectors are mentally ill.

>>61779590
Glossy dial can't get the tropical effect right?

watches arent technology

>>61779590
Yeah around mid-1997 they switched to the "Swiss" transitional dial with luminova and around the same time they started changing the bracelet around 2000 IIRC.

Also the Explorer has always been a lot less popular than most of their other steel sports watches. Particularly now that everyone wants to wear a wall clock on their wrist, no one wants anything in 36mm. I mean I even see 36mm Rolex Presidents for $10,000, which is astonishing.

Get the size that fits your watch, obviously. I'm kind of tempted by those ugly natos, maybe I'll get the flamingo one for laughs.

Just get something that matches your watch. Colors like blue, brown, and grey can go with more variety, but meme colors like red or yellow are also an option. They're cheap, so have fun with it.

>>61780577
I'm salty that the seigaiha one was out of stock when I placed my order, I should have been more patient I guess. I'll probably get that pattern in higher quality though.

How big does the Nomos club wear? How is the build quality on Nomos in general? Would like to see some fit pics because I get the suspicion that while I think they look like a nice casual watch in reality they look ridiculously hipster.

>>61780832
The biggest problem with nomos fit is the lugs - they stick straight out and are very long.

>>61780832
I've only seen a couple of Tangentes but they're absolutely boring and featureless, the dial is flat and printed with no applied markers, the hands are a nice blue and about the only interesting thing, case and lugs are flat and entirely polished with no details. Also too big but I think there's a smaller size.

They wear large because of the big ol white face. And the lugs are quite long like the other anon said.

The Metro line has more reasonable lugs.

Also I recommend you stay under 38mm

A very tastefull watch, the design in this is truly more advanced than on the everyday watch you see around so horribly often. A very classy timepiece.

>>61780053
I have been a proud owner of this Seiko chronograph for some time now, I totally love the Alien movies and this timepiece looks like the perfect retro-futuristic watch out there.

>>61780511
>>61780706
Love nato straps, so easy to change them, they add more dimensions to your timepiece.

>>61780647
With the pink colouring and a original bauhaus designing this piece is sure to stand out! I would wear it in a situation where I wanted to absolutely grab the attention in the room. To add to that I feel it would be the perfect conversation piece with other watch enthusiasts too.

Ideally you'd have a dress watch for formal events, like funerals etc. Beyond that, you can basically wear anything anywhere.

>>61782635
Are you looking for quartz or mechanical?
Pretty much all chink quartz watches have similar movements, ie bottom of the barrel but they keep good time. You're just paying for the case/strap, so the more expensive the brand, the better the overall finish.
You're better off just staying away from chink mechanicals, anything under $100 won't keep time.

I got an arborist in to give me a quote on cutting a tree down that was blocking light to my kitchen. He refused as it was a 100+ year old tree and was probably planted when the house was built and he didn't want to remove that tree he offered instead trimming some branches evenly around the tree to try let some light in without fucking the tree.
Sometimes it's about not destroying history mate, not about the money.

Maybe they're snob cunts, maybe they're full up the ass with high-end Swiss watches needing service, and they just can't be assed to try and put life into your 7002 Seiko shitter for $10 anymore.
>I bring them watches I want new crystals placed on

This I don't get either, 6x8 ligne quartz movements we don't even repair anymore, just drop in a new Miyota or SII in maximum twenty minutes.

>>61785249
The service on a mechanical movement costs hundreds of dollars. if the service >= the cost of the movemetn it would be replaced instead of serviced.

>>61785249
If the old quartz movement has no meaningful value then it actually cost less to drop in a new movement than to repair the original 0 jewel, plastic gear and pivot junker. Plus it's a new movement, which has a warranty.

Of course something like a vintage Type II, a Crystron, a Junghans 667, commie quartz or a new jeweled Ronda gets repaired.

Indeed you know very little. Believe me it's far simpler and less work to swap the entire movement out.

>>61785435
I've done it like 10 times... it actually doesn't take that long with practice... taking apart cleaning assembling and oiling a movement is hard as fuck and you still have to do everything you just mentioned. Reluming is also incredibly different.

Not him, but the bezel numerals look commie (I have the current version of the same betel). The dial has no country of origin, so it might be an early 90's Russian example.

My theory is that for a while in the early 90's the Vostok factory was unsure whether Tatarstan would stay in the Federation or eventually attempt to secede like the different SSR's before or how Chechnya was at the time.

Rich-family anon here

I posted a few weeks ago, asking about some watches because my father wanted to buy me one as a birthday gift

I posted some all-black ugly looking AP ROO and have taken a turn, and instead I'm just getting the regular AP ROO Diver with a rubber strap. So yeah, thanks for the help. Will post end result once I get it :^)

Redpill me on Rolex. Thinking of getting a Rolex Submariner to accompany my Tag-Heure, as a start to my watch collection.

The blue Submariner Date Oyster steel gold really looks nice, also:

They make very nice watches and very nice but tacky and gaudy watches, and lately they seem to be leaning more and more towards the latter. If you think a dive watch with gold on it is a good idea then you're probably leaning that way too anyway. They're not really a great value for the prices they sell at these days, but I guess no watch really is.

It's monetarily wiser to not buy a watch at all, so buy whatever feels right. If you don't have a model in mind then just lurk more, why would you drop thousands of dollars on something some retard told you to buy, much less some retard on 4chan?

You are a nigger. Even if you have white skin, you are a nigger to the bone.

>looking for a slightly minimalist yet modern watch

So you chose a niggerd out bastardization of a 70s design? Nothing about that watch says modern or minimalist. The design itself is gaudy, and blingy even if you don't get one with diamonds and shit. The case alone is one of the least subtle things ever designed for a person's wrist. THEN instead of choosing one with a classic, refined, subtle dial with an appreciation for balance and design, you chose the fucking offshore. At least you didn't get the fucking chronograph. Still, so many disparate design elements are brought together without the slightest inkling of coherence. Compare the turd you claim to be getting to the Vacheron Constantine overseas or the Patek Nautilus or the other RO references mentioned... even in the shitty sport watches by luxury brands you picked the worst of the worst.

WHAT PART OF FAKE SCREWS IN THE CASE TIPPED YOU OFF THAT IT WAS MINIMALIST OR MODERN?

>>61789274
I think it's around 4100 right now

>>61787522
>>61789290
cont.

Apart from being an abysmal watch from a nigger-tier brand in general, it is only made worse by the fact that there are many other expensive brands that would have suited the 'minimalist but modern' thing better. If you payed any attention in the slightest, or did the smallest bit of research into watches, you could have discovered this. Even the 90% bait fake infographics have more useful information than everything you seem to have absorbed.

You claim to want a watch that watch people would recognize, but not normies. Why did it not occur to you to figure out what sort of stuff 'watch people' value? You got a gaudy piece of shit from an expensive brand. You'll get attention from normies if anything who see you wearing the same watch as trayshawn desquarius from their favorite basketball team or some shit, but you deserve nothing but scorn from the watch community.

What really pisses me off is how fucking lazy you are. I guess it doesn't matter to you much because you are spending daddy's money, but you had a golden opportunity and you fucked it up. What's worse is that you had the opportunity to fix it, to be set straight, and you STILL fucked it up.

>>61789349
I'll use he since I can't tell if 'you' is applicable.
The fact that it went from the all-black piece of shit to the other piece of shit means that there is choice involved on the part of the fucker receiving it. While he obviously isn't spending his own money, he is directing someone else to spend money on it. He is making the choice of what to buy, so whether or not the money is wasted depends on him. His (I presume father, but maybe other relative or relatives) seem to be giving him a watch, and he is squandering, and wasting their money.

>i'm asking if it's a sound investment to get a rolex? or should i go with something that's easier on the wallet.

"Easier on the wallet" watches usually means ETA shitters, which almost always drops catastrophically in value and basically becomes worthless over time.

If you're looking for investment grade Rolex watches, the best ones are the older steel sports models. Rolex has been increasing prices a lot recently and you aren't likely to retain your money very well if you buy new. They also make too many of them which hurts their long term collectability.

Another option would be some of their yellow-gold pieces which are sunk criminally low in the market because everyone wants white gold or rose gold nowadays, plus smaller watches aren't "in". Reference 1803 Rolex Presidents like pic related can be found for $6000-$7000 which is a fucking steal IMO, which would get you Rolex's solid gold, flagship model for less than the cost of a new No-Date Submariner.

A sound investment is a fucking Roth 401k or an index fund or some stocks or something, a fucking luxury purchase is not an """investment""". Buying a Rolex is probably a slightly smarter investment than lighting your cash on fire, but maybe not because a Rolex comes with continuing servicing costs every few years too. Do you want a watch or do you want financial advice? This is the thread for watches.

In regards to your article, a 401k can be invested, regardless if it's the best choice. And the person mentioned a roth 401k, which invalidated the first premise of the article because in a roth the money is taxed on its way in.

For the article's second premise, while it may be true that the match is there in place of better base salary, for those of us working at larger institutions (and not in top management positions) where the salaries are dictated by rules set by HR and the business, the fact it we can't just ask to trade back the match for that better salary. So you can either use whatever match they give you and keep your salary as is, or keep salary as is and get no match.

his third premise is important, but doesn't mean a 401k is fundamentally a bad decision

his fourth premise is really only tangentially related to 401ks. Anyone could have or not have various investments in the stock market, regardless of 401k.

his fifth premise takes us back to the difference between a regular and roth 401k.

He then goes on to say stuff like
>401k plans have been around for decades. And yet the average retiree does not have enough savings for retirement.
>So the evidence is fully in. 401k plans did not help.
This is a non sequitur.

>>61796209
no The people who post the replies are all nip loving faggots. The watch in the picture was an example to gain legitimacy because no matter what anyone on this board says or does they still know swiss is best.

people keep saying this but the only thing reddit on this board are the fucking 60 dollar seiko's.

WTF?! I am going to have to look into this. I've never even heard a whisper that Daini made any 5740C movements. Let me know if you ever decide if you want to sell that one, I'll take it off your hands for the novelty factor of it alone.
