Is Bulova good or garbage?

>>61842784
Modern bulova has a few acceptable pieces. Mostly mallcore shit though.

Vintage accutrons are great though.

Thoughts?

>>61842784
Vintage Bulova has some very interesting pieces. They were an American brand, and they made some of the watches our soldiers went to war with.

Now it's part of citizen. They're fine, if unremarkable.

>>61842807
As long as it's the 38mm, it's okay. Has an (elabore if I'm not mistaken) 2892-A2 in it which is nice.

>>61842800
What about Movado? I don't like the looks personally, they seem like overpriced crap.

>>61842839
>they seem like overpriced crap.
Exactly.

>>61842820
Afaik hamilton, and other swatch brands, use something like an modified elabore for most of their watches. Like elabore base 2824 with incabloc instead of etachocs (2892 only uses incabloc I think.) But I don't know all the specifics.

That one in particular is the chronometre bleu, which is Journe's least expensive, and iirc his most popular piece.

>>61843702
Yea I feel the same way. After owning a few mid range Seikos this year I plan to save up and get my first swiss piece. Deciding between a Speedmaster and a datejust. Rolex is about as high end as my interests go. Anything else and it would be far to delicate for me to say I would enjoy wearing freely without worry.

>>61843820
What is your take on the 1861 movement in the newer ones? Also if you are that one seikofag I think you are what are your thoughts on the fromjapan proxy service?

Just bought a vintage Seiko 5.

Needs to have its crystal replaced, gonna put on a new strap, and I figure while I'm at it I might as well have it serviced. I'll take some before and after photos when it arrives.

The 1861 is fine, if a bit technically dated. It doesn't hack, has a 21,600bph beat rate and is cam actuated (though at least it doesn't use a horizontal clutch like a 7750).

Can't speak to that proxy service as I've always used Buyee.

>>61843899
because Seiko stopped making watches with kanji day wheels, and fixing up an old Seiko with the proper day wheel seemed easier than buying a new watch and modifying it with a separately purchased day wheel.

>>61843868
I've used fromjapan before (not for a watch though), had no problems at all with the service. I'm sure you can look up reviews to see what other people think.

Hey all I asked this question a while back, but I just wanted a few more opinions if that's okay. If you already responded to my question, thanks, you don't need to respond again, but I'm about to but my first nice watch I'm sick between an Omega speed master and a Grand Seiko snowflake. What do you think would be a better first watch purchase?

Thanks

You should probably specify what speedmaster model you are thinking of. I would definitely go snowflake since the speedmaster isn't my thing, but some of the references are very cool.

Those are all reasonably attainable except the 1675 is outrageously expensive like most vintage Rolexes. I already have two of them. I'd probably switch the Constellation for a VC or JLC dress watch if the Constellation didn't have sentimental value. As much as I like crazy haute horlogerie stuff, I see stuff like that more as museum pieces or curiosities than anything I would actually want to buy or wear.

For my part I am just interested in the technology and also looking for a watch to buy. So far no joy. The Chinese market has driven the watch makers to produce the most blinged out dinner plate sized watches ever seen.

My wishes, I though, were simple yet not available outside smart watches.

there are zero references to China.

let's take some better fit like Hublot:
>Upon his arrival, Biver set about creating a new flagship collection that was unveiled in Basel in April 2005, with the Hublot "Big Bang" chronograph. It was an immediate success and orders increased threefold in one year. A few months later, in November 2005, the Big Bang chronograph was awarded internationally, receiving the "2005 Design Prize" in the "Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix", the "Sports Watch Prize" at the "Watch of the Year" ceremony in Japan, and the Middle Eastern Prize for the "Best Oversized Watch" at the Editor’s Choice "Watch of the Year" in Bahrain.
so awards from 1x Switzerland, 1x Japan and 2x Middle East.
No mention of China.

The thing about *conspicuous* consumption is that it has to be visible. And that made watches huge.


Recently I was looking for a new watch and asked about the sizes (as in: huuuge). He told me it was the result of Chinese demands but sizes were about to return to normality soon.

I will have to put off buying a new watch a few more years yet.

Of course it is highly variable.

My wrist width of 6cm is fairly large compared to my pedestrian 7" circumference. I have very flat wrists.

But width is what determines if watches fit visually.

Isn't it using the bezel? More watches should use such designs.

172KB, 1109x960px

>>61854162

>>61854175
The bezel can unlock and be rotated to set the time.

But for winding the entire caseback is basically part of the springbarrel (1:48 you can see the spring, and the two red horns used as PR indicators) so you just grab hold of the back and twist to wind it.

so who has the absolute finest finishing?

Duffour? Urban Jurgensen? Voutillainen? Lange? Laurent Ferrier? Journe?

(btw i can't spell all these foreign names)

>>61854413
iktf, not being able to speak proper French is suffering when you are in a watch store. And the question is hard to answer because most manufacturers' finishing depends on the actual watch model. The nicest finishing I ever saw was on a Patek minute repeater and it was a Ladies model. But the Calatrava has a pretty average finishing for the price. Inb4 Grand Seiko btw.

What did Seiko mean by this?

>>61855103
Which part? I suppose anyone could make it so that you rotate the case back to wind the mainspring.

But in terms of rotating the bezel to set the watch, that's based on the freak design itself. That movement isn't moving a minute hand, it's moving its entire self, as a minute hand, around that fixed internal ring gear. But that fixed gear is actually attached to the bezel, which allows you to manipulate the time when you unlock it by pulling up the little "diavolo" plate at the bottom of the face.

>not thinking of the craziest shit you want to own

very "generous" dream watches. You could dream bigger. I don't believe you.
>>61848804
Dufour all the way. beautiful rolex/ omega references.
>>61854162
bleu is great, the rest seem too generic/ boring to be dream watches. its good tho.

>>61859560
Surprised this is the first zeitwerk, really. I know it has fans.

Wish they made an attempt that refining the case and how it fits on the wrist. It is my biggest problem with a lot of these avant garde watches.

What a shit move by watchuwant

>>61859756
Most haute horlogerie stuff has enormous ugly cases that are basically just an afterthought to fit the movement, they're huge platinum or gold hockey pucks. They're more curiosities than anything practical and I can't imagine anybody actually wearing them in the real world, but maybe I just don't know enough billionaires.

ACIII is the only fucker worth anyone's time.

Speaking of interesting case design this is one of my favorite collection videos

Not all of us have the same taste anon, I bet that's why you're the only one with two big skelleton watches (one being 50mm) on your dream list. I just don't see myself wearing something like that. While I like some skelleton watches, those are just way too extravagant
Also being expensive is not the only thing that makes a watch a dream watch, at least for me it needs a unique but coherent design (having a unique design while not being ugly for the sake of being different) and be rare enough or been out of production for like decades to be a dream watch.

>>61859879
Expensive is a big part of dream watches. Things that you can afford aren't really dreams, they're budgetary considerations.

>>61859829
Fed's the best watch channel on YT. Get some taste.

My problem with Paul is he only really thinks in terms of resale value. Then there is his circlejerk of specific brands and models. The constant repetitive prattling of the Explorer ii POLAR and the Speedmaster MOTFM grinds on me. He speaks the truth sometimes but I find myself with more nausea than inspiration.

Right there.

>not allowing yourself to buy a watch you personally like because of poor resale value

>>61860282
I don't get why the resale value is such a big deal breaker, sure you will want it not to be shit but come on, the only time i would part with my collection is when i'm starving to death

>>61860317
>I don't get why the resale value is such a big deal breaker, sure you will want it not to be shit but come on, the only time i would part with my collection is when i'm starving to death

But if they have poor resale value, how will they help you buy any food?

>The military issued gold watches
It's the civilian version of a military machine in the same sense that a Mercedes G-wagen is the blinged out rapper SUV based on a heavy duty military 4x4 vehicle

>Water resistance makes it a diving watch
I guess every single watch made these days is a diving watch then.

>>61860294
>it has superior water resistance, therefor it's a dive watch
A datejust is built with 100m water resist and a screwdown crown. Is it a dive watch?

>>61860294
Back then, having a water gasket is considered a breakthrough you dumbo

>>61860336
Any watch is a diving watch if you try hard enough.
