What does /g/ think of the SKX007? I've been wondering if it would look silly with a NATO strap, the standard rubber strap it comes with is really chunky compared to the timepiece and super uncomfortable.

>>61790993
Why did this ugly garbage get so popular. Hideous hands, dial, everything.

>>61791041
alright, which automatic watch in the same price range and build quality would you say looks better? It's a dive watch that's meant to take a beating, it was never mean to be the best looking option.

>>61791276
There was a black model that popped up on Shopgoodwill of all places and I was so tempted to get one, but I think it sold for like $400-500 and I wasn't going to spend that much one one that was missing the buttons and wasn't brushed.

>>61791938
they all usually average 15 secs a month for 1970s seikos unless it's a special dual quartz movement

What are generally brands one should avoid when considering their first piece of fine technology?
Everytime I browsed through so called "top brands" lists I've encountered fossil, diesel and DW.
Admittedly they sometimes do look quite seducing but are allegedly very bad specimen.
Can someone help out?

>Okay. But where should I look? Know if any stores specializing in used watches that aren't shady? I'm scared of getting ripped off cus I don't know anything about watches.

Ah, in that case it's too early for you to get into vintage watches. it's an area where you need to be able to do your own research and know what to look for yourself.

I also wouldn't spend anywhere near $2,500 on a watch until you've taken some time and learned a little bit about watches and figure out what you like and what you don't. If you buy something now based on what other people tell you, you may find you don't like it anymore once you start developing your own taste in watches.

That being said, if you are dead set on looking at pre-owned watches in that price range ASAP, I've heard that Watchfinder is the best place to look in Toronto for nicer pre-owned watches.

>>61796987
By competition, I meant thin, minimal, black leather and rose gold for under $100. I couldn't find much that satisfied the above.

>>61797444
its pvd coated.. its not actually gold... you can get any quartz watch that is thin minimal and pvd coated for under 5 dollars. The strap on the dw is shit.. a 20 dollar leather strap from holbens will be better. You can get mechanical watches for under 100 dollars..

Surely you think that looks considerably worse, and you're just being antagonistic.

>>61797535
>Very high amplitude
So it looks like my 5256 isn't an anomaly in that regard. My does ~280 dial up and ~310 on the wrist.

With that amplitude it probably only needs a regulation to show what it's capable of. Mine needed a service but then I was able to contain its beat error to +/- 0.1ms in six positions and mine runs pretty close to +0 SPD in all six positions too.

>sapphire crystal
Would have been mineral crystal originally, but switching to a generic sapphire is fairly common on them.

>>61797592

You just need to put the watch facing down and pop the spring bar up so that if this happens, only the lower part of the lug gets scratched.
Besides when using perlon straps you only do this once.

>>61798392
I use brass tweezers on the spring bar itself and it never touches the case.

No Its fine if a shitter knows its a shiter.. Per example pic related is fine whereas the junk you posted is not because of marketing and price attempting to mislead ignorant plebs.

What phones do you guys own? The reason I'm asking here is because watchfags usually have a higher understand of aesthetics.
I just can't stand the current phone market they're all oversized chinkshit monstrosities (just like the watch market, again the reason why I'm asking here)
The only phones that look normal sized are some of the Iphones, but they're overpriced and in many ways inferior to android, honestly I'm still rocking my Galaxy S3 and I would love to keep using it, but it's dying in front of my eyes and potentially missing important call is a liabilty

>>61799199
Leave it to some numale to somehow not be capable of wearing a watch without destroying it.

>>61799302
It's not even the numale's fault, it's just that one piece straps exert a lot of force on the lugs which causes them to eventually pop, scratching the lugs.

>>61799302
To be fair, cheapestnatostraps perlon straps are really stiff. However, there is no reason they should have dislodged one of his spring bars. He would have managed to mess it up regardless of the strap.

Hey, so I was thinking about getting the Seiko SNK809 with a brown leather strap similar to pic related cuz i'm a poorfag and want an automatic. My only problem is the size of 37mm and an 18mm strap would be to small and look childish.
Is 37mm to small for a guy 6'2" with about 6.75in wrists?

>>61799402
Sauce? I never wear the one I bought since it's so stuff so I'd be willing to try it out?

>>61799522
You have tiny wrists and it doesn't matter how big you are that is a good size for a watch. Given how tiny your wrists are i would not even go that much larger than 37mm desu.

>>61799549
why did you not just get a eulit?

If I hadn't seen your filename I would have thought this were b8

>>61799573
I have also purchased an Eulit kristal, and it was also disappointingly stiff. It was an improvement over the chepestnato one, but not worth the price. The only perlon I have been happy with as far as stiffness was the 'premium' one I got from watchbandit. It is probably worth noting I have not tried any double weave perlons, and those look pretty comfy.

One of the Lord Marvel owners on /wt/ posted last thread that their Lord Marvel's 5740C movement was somehow produced by Daini Seikohsa.

It is absolutely the first time I've ever heard of such a thing, and I am going to go on some of the specialist vintage Seiko forums and see if anyone has any idea how that is possible.

>>61800844
Seiko used to be split into two divisions that competed as rivals between the 1950s and 1980s. They had separate movement designs, watch designs, and manufacturing and only shared marketing during this period.

The two divisions were Suwa Seikosha (today Seiko Epson) and Daini Seikosha (today Seiko Instruments). Today Seiko Epson owns Orient (which operates totally independently), still makes some specialized quartz components for Seiko watches, but is otherwise unrelated to Seiko's current watchmaking business.

Seiko Instruments has the modern Seiko watch company, Credor and Grand Seiko under it. When the modern Grand Seiko was founded they actually used some veterans of Daini Seikosha to do so as the Daini half of Seiko had always been the better mechanical movement designers.

This would not have been true of Daini Seikosha. In period they were better considered as close competitors of Omega, with similarly diverse product lines. Though to be fair, both should fairly be considered competitive with pre-303x Rolex, at least broadly.

Yeah except when you're trying to distinguish between two entirely different factories. Especially so when apparently a factory that never made 5470Cs made them...

Not a bad idea, but it's gonna be fucking impossible to find a quartz movement that fits since the watch is so small and that also has an off-centered second hand.

I may play with a movement for a couple of days and resell it.

>>61802231

That's what I was thinking about, but that means I'd have to find a hairspring from the very same movement right? Or will almost every vintage hairspring from a lady's watch movement of that era work?

>>61802424
I hate it when watchmakers do that too, but for some reason people still accept it because it goes back to when watchmakers would rather not just make more dials so they just re-used existing ones. Muh horological heritage.

In the case of Ali cracking down, it is now possible to get bagles and Nomos homages, but they no longer advertise them as Nomos watches or Rolex. Additionally, all the hits on Ali now come up with watch bands. However, on websites such as DHgate, you can still get DW watches. Note I put "fake" in quotations, but later mentioned that in the case of DW, the watch was in fact the actual one. Regardless, AliExpress has cracked down on fakes.

I need some strap inspo pics for a SARB033.

>>61805256
But just to be sure, is the radiation from radium or breathing its dust what is extremely harmful?
Do I get radiated by just holding the watch in my hand like on your pic? Or is it just dangerous if I open it?
If it's just breathing it what is actually harmful maybe there's no danger if I open the case back to try to fix the hairspring, since the dust supposedly can't leak from the dial into the back of the watch.

>>61805397
The breathing is the bad part. You can hold it in your hand and wear it for 50 years and still have less dose than an x-ray. If it were me I wouldn't open it but if you have a mask maybe you're fine. Your call anon.

>>61805162
It's safe as long as you don't ingest it, but obviously you want to open it which means you'll get dust everywhere. I wouldn't do it at home but I guess you'll probably be fine with a HEPA mask or something and some thorough cleanup when you're done.

>>61805397
If you're opening the caseback there will be dust. What's harmful is breathing in the radioactive dust and having radioactive particles inside your body for a long time, just holding the watch in your hand or wearing it won't do anything. Radium is a lot more dangerous than tritium and radium paints are usually much more radioactive than tritium paints and remain radioactive for thousands of years while tritium has a half life of about 12 years.

I had a look on their website and can't seem to find the same one.
Anyway it's the type of watch I would get my dad as I know what he wants and uses a watch for but it isn't one I think I would get myself. I think they have an interesting look but it's not up my alley.

My first guess would be a milgauss, however the non 3-6-9 indices should be more visible than that on a real milgauss.

that looks just like it!

is it possible that maybe he has a seiko?

i dont know if hes that rich

>>61807334
seikos do not have bracelets that are flush with the lugs

Guys I'm fairly new to this whole watch business and I wanted to ask where to fuckin start.
The first watch I'll probably buy now is the Seiko SKX007 because it appeals to me in both looks and durability.
But what next?
Do I slowly expand my collection from there, should I have a watch for every occasion?
Would I buy them beforehand or when the time has come.

What's your story

>>61807797
buy a cheap beater and dress watch for now.. save up and get a real collection. If you can afford a better watch than an skx just buy it first and don't wast the 250 dollars you'll spend on it and a decent bracelet. Also don't fall into the mod trap.. just like with cars its better to buy the nicer model than to modify the car. A turbo civic is not a ferrari

There's always fakes. A Bagelmeme Milgauss is like $50.

>>61790486

>>61807830
Ive never seen a fake skx lol

This >>61807826
Just start with a simple beater and a dress watch first then lurk more, slowly gain new knowledge then venture into big brand so you don't regret buying a watch because it's doesn't match your taste.

Well the thing is I don't have the money as a "poor student".
I was looking at the more budget oriented watches.
Of course I'd really like a Rolex or Omega but right now that's out of question. So I though the SKX is a good choice and I really dig the diver design.

My idea was to wear it as a everyday watch. And as you guys suggested I'll buy a dress one too.
What are the rules for dress watches though?
My wrists are rather thick so really small watches don't really fit me. Can you also wear big diameter watches as a dress watch or does that look pretentious or arrogant

>>61807797
Get skx
Boil rubber strap to shape it to your wrist perfectly
Get a nato or two

And then you can decide what you want to do next. You don't need to plan out your next watch when you don't even have your skx

>>61807950
The skx is excellent. I am actually going to purchase one soon as well. Unless your wrists are 8 inches or more its really better to wear a sub 40mm dress watch but that i totally up to you.

>>61807966
>>61807956
Yeah that was basically my idea. Get the SKX and save up from that point.
I didn't want to get something really cheap like those fashion watches.
I wanted to express that I atleast got some taste.

So would you rather save up for a really expensive one (like talking anything Innereien from 2 to 6 k) or get a 200 to 300 dollar watch every now and then?

Yea diver and somewhat dressy casual watch is the way to start. Just don't sink too much money in buying too many mid range watches if your goal is to eventually get into Rolex watches.

>>61808030
The left one is really beautiful.
What watch is that and would it be considered a dress watch?

>>61808059
SARB033 and it is a dressy sport watch. Versatile. Some would say cult classic.

>>61808069
>bulky case

>>61807884
This is neither though.

>>61808069
Thanks! So from what I've looked up so far in the last couple of days I really dig Seiko watches. I don't know why but I feel they're not too expensive while still offering respectable build quality.

By the way in which category would the everyday chronograph fall you usually see on the majority of people's wrists?

The sarb has better finishing that an omega planet ocean according to some users on this basket weaving forum

Budget?

>>61808026
Don't buy a pile of cheap shitters, you only wear one watch every day anyway. I like my SKX, I don't see anything wrong with having a couple of cheap shitters you like, but don't have piles and piles of shit you're never going to wear. I'd rather have one $2000 watch than four $500 watches, I don't know about you.

Buy one then STOP, don't give in to the craze for more because soon or later, you will have a box full of shitters.
