Is Stowa an okay shitter brand?

>>61861404
No!

>>61861404
If you want a 36mm flieger from one of the companies who originally produced them they are the place to go.

What's the consensus on Oris? I don't see any posted in these threads, are they really bad or something? I ask because the Divers 65 looks really nice, and I kinda want one.

>>61861971
The 65 is nice, just too much for what's essentially an ETA 2824.

>>61861971
Oris is okay. Like many lower-mid Swiss brands, they charge significantly more for the same basic movements in low-end Swiss brands. But if you like the styling and decide the price works for you they're not so bad - not nearly in the same tier of price gouging as Panerai or IWC, for example.

Oris is fairly respectable and probably best of the cheaper mid-tier Swiss watches.

>No pretentious, fake-y marketing where they peddle bullshit and just try to live on their former reputation like Swatch shit
>In-house movements are stunning and reasonably priced

My only concern with them is where they source shit. They have a factory but it's small and I kind of doubt they manufacture cases or bracelets themselves. Although the quality is amazing regardless of where it comes from (although I'm a watch snob and would never buy anything with a Chinese case or bracelet).

what watches should I get as entry level tier for
Mechanical
Automatic (i do not know if this is the official term, but basically a mechanical one without the need for manual winding)

Only though if it makes sense at that price point. I mean if everything you can get is shit with that budget I'll look somewhere else.
What I aim for is something you'd see from fossil or diesel, but in good instead like from a decent brand

I vote Explorer, but if you're planning on putting it on a leather strap instead of the bracelet then pick the DJ instead (but I think buying a Rolex without the bracelet is a terrible idea). They're both very nice and similar, decide if you want to lean more dressy or more rugged.

Don't know if that's seriously you. But if yes I really suggest you to lose weight. First it's healthier secondly you (and your watches) will automatically look better.
I know it's hard, but the benefits will make the struggle worth.
Which watch are you wearing in the first picture?

I need your help /wt/
As an absolute fresh blood where do I start? So i thought about getting a seiko as my beater and everyday wear watch (haven't decided about the model yet but probably a turtle) and a dress watch also from seiko.
But where do I go from there?
Are there any must have watches or models or is anything beyond that point just personal taste ?

>>61868334
There are no must have anything, buy whatever the fuck you want. You don't even have to buy Seikos if you don't want to, despite what /wt/ may tell you.

Seiko was my personal choice actually. Well honestly I didn't know the brand before but I admittedly I only wore fashion brand watches before so I'm glad I got to know some of the more quality brand watches.
I thought about getting atleast 3 watches first. A daily watch, a dress watch and a beater I can wear for the gym and hiking. Would a g shock be a good option for that?

>>61868334

Cool. The Gardé Ruhla mondphase is a nice quartz watch I even made some other anon buy it and he loves it afaik.
Have in mind that the case back is open because I opened it once and I'd need a case back press to close it again. If you take it to a watch repair shop they'd be able to close it in seconds and even maybe for free. Looking forward to your purchase.

>>61868442
What's the obsession with NATO straps. Why would you want your watch to look like swatch crap.
Get metal or leather strap and be the adult you're desperately wanting to become

>>61867895

>>61868442
That looks like shit and it makes the watch sit too high up off the wrist. I've thought about looking for a nice brown leather, like a rougher leather or maybe waxed or something. It's hard to find a leather strap that fits an oyster case well though, it has to be thick and look right to fill in that space between the thick lugs. It's really just designed to look good on the bracelet, bracelets are such a defining feature of Rolex.

Not any time soon. I mostly like Seiko divers, maybe a spring drive Tuna or MM300 would be cool. It would be nice if the SLA017 wasn't limited edition and way overpriced.

Get an IWC portugese (or something similarly sized) then. If a 42x12mm dressy watch looks small on you, you need to shrink.

>>61869071

I have big wrists too and am definitely don't have a runners body, so for me it's got to be 40mm or more. The DJ41 and OP39 are reasonably priced, I wonder if next year on the grey market/costco if you could grab one for a reasonable price.

>low carb
Calories are what matter to lose weight. Don't get me wrong, some people may want to go low carb in terms of weight loss diet would be just a matter of trying to eliminate problem eating habits and dealing with severe carb cravings that get worse as you eat more carbs.

Turtle is fine. For dress watches you can get some especially good deals on vintage pieces. Vintage Seiko, Swiss or American are all open at a reasonable price for nice dress watches.

>>61869590
They're alright in terms of build, case brushing is kinda bland though. Also if you sweat a lot like the fat pig you probably are their leather straps may stink.

Actually yes, that's why I like it Urban Gentile-sama. It's simple, to the point and very legible, but not like those euphoric minimalist Bauhas brands. I already have one I got as a donor, but that's already too busted up to look good, now I'm trying to find one on Ebay, but no luck so far. I'd settle for a good case, dial and hands and franken together a movement for it from my parts.

Until then I still have my pep-peps watch if I want roman IV Raketa kino.

That's not it. I have other quartz watches and I don't think there is anything wrong with quartz, but Tissot are literally mallwatches, not that different from the rest of the legions of crap.
The confusing thing is that Tissot have decent history, so people confuse vintage ones with today's crap.
Why would a boring case with a low tier ETA movement and sapphire be worth anywhere close to 200€, it honestly feels like a rip-off.

Get an Orient open heart so you can appreciate the true horological virtue of the mechanical movement

Orients are all in house and they are even better than Rolex. Plebs will not know what it is but real watch snobs will see you and instantly understand that you are a fellow watch connoisseur. You might even get promoted

The modern Visodate reissue is a disgusting, horrible eyesore

Considering that actual vintage visodates go for about the same as the price of the modern ones, it absolutely blows my mind that people buy the modern ones

Then again some people unironically recommend presages and SARBs, maybe it's the same people

Not only is it thick as fuck but the way the case is designed it looks even thicker in person than it looks in the pictures

Plus the fact that the diameter is like 25% larger than it should be

How is it that Archie can afford to buy and sell these watches, but can't afford to get those mole/boils removed?

Now that we're talking about Tossit, have you guys heard about the Banana-reissue and the story behind it?

Apparently Tissot has a Banana that was made in 1916, bought by someone in Russia, brought in for service in 1917 and then the Revolution happened. So the watch just sits there at Tissot, serviced, waiting to be picked up, for one hundred years now. So they're making a reissue now, due to the hundred year anniversary. I'm certain Swatch Tossit is going to half-ass it someway and it's going to be terrible.

Here's a pic of the original.

And the reissue. It's every bit inferior to the hundred year old original:
>quartz
>PVD coating, which I doubt means real plated gold
>probably increased in size

>>61871522
Let me guess. They'll modernize it by making it 46mm wide and 16mm thick, and they'll add a triple date function and a display back showcasing a standard grade ETA movement.

Also the TISSOT logo will be large enough to see from space.

>>61871579
Oh yeah and just now I read there will be a solid gold version with a hand-winding mechanical movement. 6800CHF.

>>61871579
Lol. Yeah about as tacky as I expected. At least they skipped the date. Love the fake gold, 10/10 would throw in the garbage so fast I'd miss and have to pick it up and throw it again.

1016s cost way more than 14270s and 114270s for an older watch, inferior movement, folded bracelet, and acrylic crystal. Vintage Rolex prices are out of control, it doesn't make any sense to buy one.

>>61872062
the reason used chronographs are surprisingly inexpensive to buy is that they are expensive to service

>>61872073
14mm for a auto chronograph is typical.

I feel like more companies should be using thinner manual wind chronograph movements but no people want muh automatic at the cost of looking thicc.

>>61872077
Are you trying to imply people are selling off faulty watches?

>>61872244
not sure what you mean by faulty. mechanical watches require periodic servicing, were you aware of this? if you're buying a used chrono with no service history given, then you should mentally tack on the cost of a service when you consider what the watch is going to cost you. that assumes the watch is otherwise in good shape (no broken parts, corrosion, or whatever)

>>61872284
how often should I check on a watch?

>>61872284
Yes of course. A slightly modified 7750 is not going to cost too much of an ass raping to service though right? If I were that guy I would just be getting the non chrono max bill.

>>61872304
Check your watch whenever you want to know the time.

Memeing aside, whats /wt/´s honest opinion about this guy.

>>61872363
thanks. I always thought there was perhaps a guideline so I wouldnt harass it

>>61872307
it really depends, even a simple manual wind can be an ass raping if you go to the wrong place. but figure on 40%-100% more cost for a chrono compared to a simpler movement, so if a manual wind costs $200 in your area to service, the chrono might be $300-400

some guys randomly charge different amounts for different brands regardless of movement though, presumably because he's had enough time to stereotype those brands and what the owners are like

>>61872387
Just keep track of your watches variation +/- and when it starts heading out of range get it serviced. No point paying to get it serviced when it's ticking along fine imo.

hey, new watch fag. I recently got an old watch and it says it's manual. I tried winding the side clock wise and counterclockwise but it doesn't seem to change the time. how do I change it?

Does /wt/ like this?

I like his reviews. At first you think it's pretentious but then you realize he's just a watch guy, he loves all watches, so I'm okay with him.

Plus he got me into the SARB017, which is better than the 35 and 33.

Not mil-spec, fucking garbage.

Is the Rolex Submariner a meme or should I try to get an A Lange or something?

>>61873399
Why do I always imagine a greasy and obese neckbeard virgin beging every anime reaction image?

>>61873366
you don't leave the house without a watch on, do you?

>>61873451
A Lange is in another tier entirely compared to a rolex.

>>61873470
Exactly, am I /wt/ now?

Probably going to get rid of a few of the cheap dress watches. Maybe adding a new cocktail time.

My first automatic was a SRP773 turtle. My line of thought was:

>$250
>has solid horology behind the brand and the turtle itself
>4r36 movement
>hackable
>3 dimensional hour indices unlike SKX's

Worth every penny dude, get one. I'm not going to lie, mine has a lot of flaws. My day is not aligned properly with the window as it's slightly downwards and the bezel doesn't align (very common issue).

I still say it was worth every penny due in part to the 4r36 movement, it's basically running like a certified chronometer at +/- 3 seconds a day, I usually adjust it after a week and find it only off by a couple seconds. You'll find this is common with this movement.

Compared to my SARB017 with it's 6r15, it's a lot more accurate. Damn fine good watch and beater, if you watch a dress seiko look into the SARB033 and 35.

what's your daily watch? the one you could wear in most situations?

>>61873511
you may as well sell your anime wife pillows and just move to japan you fucking weab.

>>61873511
You should get rid of every Jap and Slav watch in your collection. It will improve greatly.

>>61873315
wouldn't say it looks like shit, it's different. the face is extremely glossy and it's hard to see it in the pics. moving it around makes it sparkle and I think it looks a bit more dressy while yours is more like a nomos/bauhaus and business casual kind of thing.

Fucking nasty dude. Reminds me of a Komandirskie.
If I was going to get a Poljot, I'd get one of the older case designs or maybe a Strela like >>61863464.

It's actually surprisingly accurate. I've been checking on it every hour or so and it's right on the money

Not even once.

>>61874377
thaaaaaaaaaaaats what i thought. is there any face color other than black, white, or blue that are actually good?

>>61874365
If it's coming from India, chances are that it's a fake with a broken hand winding movement in it.

>>61874396
Just look up the ref and see if it matches what's shown. Or more easily, just check if it's coming from india, and avoid it if so.

>>61874416
oh? are indian sold watches usually fake?
