This thread is about the appreciation of horology, as well as the micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a fine watch, clock, or other timepiece.

>>61826301
Every single watch on their site is sold out or discontinued. Are they still in business?
>>
>>61826364
They're just a microbrand that makes watches in small batches. Usually there's a number of months between runs. So if there's a new run you have to put in the order quick before they sell out.

They make small runs of a single model at a time and then it's usually a pretty long wait until they do the next one and I don't think they usually repeat previous models. You probably will have to pre-order and wait if you want one. I like my Obris Morgan, it's not perfect but it's a pretty nice watch for the money. It's a bit too big and I'm not sure I'm such a big fan of the bead blasted finish, but the dial is very good looking and it's all surprisingly high quality and well put together.

I replaced the nylon strap with a nice piece of leather. Its so comfortable.
Its has weight but not cumbersome. The large face and glow in the dark number and stick dial gives it a classic feel. cyclops magnified day date makes it all easy to read. Another reasonably priced find.

Depends on the movement in it, and how available replacement parts are for said movement. Generally you wouldn't need to replace parts though.
>>
>>61827059
Keep in mind the resident Seiko evangelist does not recommend any vintage grand seikos; the Suwa grand seikos don't have the sacred power of the DAINISTRONG, and the 44GS/45GS he notes are subject to excessive wear, often requiring donor parts.

SNXS7x right?

cheap, humble, honest.. reliable, even?

i'm tempted too, especially since i'm in the mood for something vintage-ish and similar in looks to the Rolex President

i'd buy the silver dial model, though

what keep me from pulling the trigger is the strap: the black dial model seems to have been coupled with a more president-ish bracelet..
other references (blue, silver, gold dials) seem to have bracelets with a slightly different design (judging by pictures)

Hmmm I might need to contact Shane... I'm really skeptical this is normal. I let this run down over the weekend so I could get the second hand closest to zero as possible to test my suspicions.

That mostly depends on whether it ends up needing any parts and whether, in turn. you are forced to buy any donor movements to secure those parts. The number of NOS vintage GS parts is pretty limited.

Assuming you didn't need any parts, there is no reason servicing a vintage Grand Seiko would be any more expensive than any other vintage watch.

The real issue is to do enough research to learn which vintage GS models to avoid for having movements known to develop issues.
>>
>>61831922
A lot of these are legit nice-looking.
>>
>>61832019
pick one you think looks best?
>>
>>61831922
None of these
>>
>>61827118
The reason I don't recommend them is that I typically think the vintage market overvalues vintage Grand Seiko relative to vintage King Seiko, and because most of the vintage GS models were Suwa Seikosha designs and have movements with known tendencies to develop issues.

Basically, buying vintage GS means you have to be willing to overpay and be careful to choose the right model.

Opinion on Seiko 5?

>>61832608
I've never had one, but it is that, Vostok, or some Chinese shit if you want a cheap mechanical. If you are really into the mechanical aspect of it, get something with a display caseback. If you just want a good watch, regardless of mechanical or not, get a quartz seiko, casio, or citizen. Apart from that, as long as you find a style you like, it's hard to go wrong (unless you are retarded or weight 700 lbs).

Also the straps, the caseback and the two buttons are all one piece of plastic (polyurethane?) held in place by pins similar than on the F-91W. Interesting design, but you're fucked if the strap breaks. Also it's NOS and I even got the original manual.

>>61836080
Because it's an interesting 80's piece, and a cheap addition to a vintage watch collection. The bare bones electronics is kinda refreshing to the dozens of functions crammed into the most basic LCD watch nowadays. Belissimo!

Most people are poor... Poor people cannot afford nice things... Seiko makes watches that cost no money . . poor people buy them.

Seiko is a bit of an odd watch company in that they make everything from cheap mall watches all the way up to extremely expensive hand made watches. They also tend to offer the best value for money in most price brackets.

Most people who don't know much about watches or who don't know much about about watches beyond brand marketing tend to disregard Seiko as a serious watchmaker.

Interesting does not mean good.

The best looking Seikos are the ones with the most boring-ass designs. SBGW039 or Credor Eichi II. And at that price point you have a LOT of other options.

Every single one of you - and I know there are a lot - who can look at this image and think "gee, that's a nice looking watch" needs to go see an eye doctor and ask to have your eyeballs surgically removed and donated to someone who can make better use of them.

Shocking, I know. I'd rather an SLA017 than that though, if only it were cheaper.
>>
>>61840707
Yet another example. I'm not against spending $4000 on a Seiko at all, but at that price you've got many good looking high quality watches. Not a particularly compelling product unless you're a fanboi or just a contrarian who wants to be able to go "oh but you THINK it's cheap because seiko but AYCKTYUALLY it was $4000 look how much I know about watches have you heard about grand seiko I bet u haven't heard about grand seiko"

That's probably the thought process going through most people's heads when they buy one.

You're looking things that aren't there, from what it seems to me m8. One would only cough up the cash for an SLA017 if you knew what the 6217 from the 60s was and really wanted one. Nothing wrong with having a niche focus in an already autistic niche.

No, it's stop pretending to like something because of m'horological virtue or whatever woo-woo nonsense you tell yourself. If you like a watch, fine. But most people will go through all kinds of mental gymnastics to rationalize an ugly ass shitter like all but maybe 3 or 4 watches that seiko produces because "oh wow this 13.9mm thick, 42mm wrist fedora has SPRON it has more horological virtue now" as if that actually means anything
> I don't worry "oh gosh people will think I am poor or something for wearing a SEIKO"
No, you think "hmm, I can't buy this quartz Swatch Group product because it doesn't have horological virtue, the Fedora'd Gentlemen said in the youtube that I need to get that one because it totally punches above its weight" (whatever that means). In your head, you are listening to a bunch of internet personas arguing about stuff that doesn't matter, and you end up wearing an ugly watch and justifying it to yourself and that's your definition of "liking" something - assimilating a confused set of ideas because of aspirations to haute horologie that are totally unrealistic

Ah, so you simply have no interest in horology then. You are one of those for whom a watch only exists as a totem that carries the marketing manufactured "prestige" imbued into it by the advertising created by the watch company, and thus a watch only has value based on how much imagined social status you image it gives you.

Yeah, I can see how Grand Seikos wouldn't really appeal to you.

Display casebacks are fine on any mechanical watch. The inner workings of mechanical things are interesting, a d interesting to watch.
However, I do think that any sort of open-faced or skeleton watch should be reserved for high-end pieces. In that case the function of exposing the movement is aesthetic, so the movement itself should be aesthetic.
>>
>>61841182
No, I mean that don't have awful case/dial/hands and bracelet finishing for the price. Non high-end quartz are typically even worse in all of those respects than anything else you could find in traditional watch sizes at in the sub $1,000 range.

Correcty, I have no interest in making excuses for shitty watches just because they are mechanical. That is /g/'s working definition of "appreciating horology"

I fail to see the difference. The entire case of a display back watch is compromised in order to create a view on a mass produced, uninteresting movement. It becomes needlessly thick and needlessly gives up water resistance. It also needlessly increases the price, and at cocktail time price ranges, that is not a small thing.

A mechanical movement on a watch in this price range serves one purpose: to make the second hand move in a more attractive way. As for how it accomplishes that, given the nastiness inside the case, better to leave as much to the imagination as possible.

I thought you didn't care about horology? Why, then, do you care about the movement being "uninteresting" and why would you judge the inside of the case as "nastiness"? I thought you said quartz would be fine too and you don't care about mechanical movements at all?

Water resistance isn't an issue until you reach depths that you need a purpose built diver anyway. It use to be a massive issue but the tech has caught up you can get 200m divers watches with display backs so yeah not really an issue.
I agree it's not as attractive but it's still cool to see the everything moving.
It does add a mm or 2 to thickness but so what it is cool to look at and it's not that much in the grand scheme of things.

Which definition of horology is that? I thought you only cared about whether people who look at your watch say "this man has good taste and is definitely not poor"? What is the relevance of how the movement looks to this since its hidden by your wrist?
>>
>>61841689
>Water resistance isn't an issue until you reach depths that you need a purpose built diver anyway.
That isn't actually true though, anyone who spends a decent amount of time outdoors has a good reason for wanting higher water resistance, because over time, especially in sub-optimal conditions, a case designed with water resistance as a priority is going to do better than one that's designed with other considerations in mind. If you spend all your time in an air conditioned room, then sure. But as another anon pointed out, they put a solid caseback on the alpinists for a reason

Also, 2mm is not "not much" in the grand scheme of things. It is, in fact, enough to turn a decent looking watch into a fugly wrist hamburger.
>>
>>61841717
>Which definition of horology is that?
The /g/ definition. "If it is mechanical then therefore it is good". I do not agree with this point of view.
>I thought you only cared about whether people who look at your watch say "this man has good taste and is definitely not poor"?
That is important. And a tastefully proportioned watch says a lot. Any adult running around with a 42mm wide, 14mm thick wristwatch trying to pass itself off as a "dress watch" looks like a fool. The sort of person who might put on a matching tie and pocket square set thinking it looks "fancy"
>What is the relevance of how the movement looks to this since its hidden by your wrist?
The display caseback juts out and makes the entire watch needlessly bulky
>>
>>61841725
>But as another anon pointed out, they put a solid caseback on the alpinists for a reason

No, Anon said he was glad they didn't put one on. Reason for that choice was not discussed.

quick question, I'm new to /wt/ and wanted to get my first 'nice' watch but you guys just confirmed to me that it's a huge circlejerk and debates about frivolous shit.

my question is what is the cheapest way into a quartz watch that has good finishing in a modern style?
>>
>>61841725
Your right, meeting diving criteria and performance is a terrible indication of water resistance. They wouldn't have a clue what they are on about. By the time the watch needs a service you are reaching the point you could replace the case back with one that is still up to mark. Again if your using your watch to the point the case back fails you should consider it just like I said with the purpose built diver. If you by a watch that doesn't meet you needs you it's not that it's a bad watch it's that you are retarded.
I agree that it can make a watch unattractive and again if that's a requirement you want for your watch buy one that suits your requirements it's not the watch it the case's fault you got a watch that doesn't meet your requirements.

Please provide a list of affordable (sub $1,000) dressy sports watches or actual dress watches in 38mm or less size that aren't complete dogshit in terms of case/dial/hands/bracelet finishing. I'll wait.

You are attacking Seiko's sub-$1,000 models for a sin committed by everyone else in the watch industry in the same price range.

But this has nothing to do with the appearance of the movement, which is what you were talking about, even though you claimed not to care about it.

I am actually having a giggle. One of your reasons display backs are shit is that they aren't water proof even though they can meet the standards.
Your other argument is that they don't meet your requirements for what you personally want from a watch, in that case don't get a watch with one. Your taste doesn't make them shit it just means it isn't your taste and that's fine.

You just got done telling me how I feel about Grand Seikos based on a remark about quartz movements being ok. You realize Grand Seiko itself has a line of quartz watches? I don't suppose you did, but now you know.

"aren't complete dogshit" is pretty vague. You might want to look at a tank style quartz watch from Baume & Mercier, Raymond Weil, Longines, or something like that

Meanwhile your fucking turbocharged shitbox is nowhere near as good as ferrari and never will be. MUh 6r15 camry engine is so well made by robots and so reliable its super accurate without a service for extended periods of time. Your fragile unfinished patek engine is obviously inferior.... please fuck off .. I am fucking poor as fuck i am a student right now.. i have only shitty watches but i am not going to delude myself and spout bullshit about how my fucking shitty watch is actually excellent.When i do have the means and add more expensive peices to my collection.. I am not going to argue with people saying my shitty watches are shitty..... Get your heads out of your asses. And while some grand seiko movements are cool notably the high beat ones not the quartz watches you faggots like... The cases are all totally out of proportion just like their sarb and sarx lines... The watches are all fucking shit tier style wise. I maybe like 3 watches that say seiko on them and 2 of them are vintage and one is the totally overpriced reissue that is already sold out.

It's absolutely much better to spend $1,500 on that ugly piece of shit Baume & Mercier that had more spent on its marketing than its manufacture, certainly.

Hey, maybe you can spend $1,100 on this Longines beauty with a literal $30 quartz movement in it instead? Indeed, it is 36mm after all!
>>
>>61842403
For the most part people defending SARBs and SARYs and crap like that are, yes, brainwashed by bloggers and youtube.

They are ugly watches. Seiko is more than capable of making good looking watches. I know because I have one, which was made about 50 years ago. I know because they have made like 2, since the turn of the century. They can, they just won't

They won't, because retards make excuses for the fugly garbage they shit out. Without exception in their sub-$1000 watches, but also most of their "higher end" ones. I was in the GS boutique and they had a hideous diver, a hi-beat no less, that pretty much looked like a goddamm invicta. I don't remember the price but it was somewhere north of $3000.
