What kind of strap is the chick on the right wearing? It looks like some kind of wide fabric bracelet thing. Can't be a nato...

Looks kind of like a thinner-than-usual bund strap.

Hey that looks pretty close, maybe the strap is stock. So it's some kind of 90's Casio g-shock maybe.
I thought it looked pretty good, might buy one of those straps for my f-91w.

>>61891990
How big is your wrist? Don't go any smaller then 34mm

>>61891990
No Bateman watch:(

>>61891990
28mm is definitely a woman's size.

>>61892027
Fuck this gay world, some men brutalize their genitals and dress as women but I can't wear a smaller watch

>>61892067
Just because faggots are out there doesn't mean you have to be one of them. 33mm-34mm is about the smallest you should really go for.

Which watch channel is the best on YouTube?

>>61892326
Long Island Watch

>>61891990
ignore the redditors here, 28mm is ok if you have small wrists (6in) or you just want something unobtrusive. 31mm is better though.

>>61892446
28mm is literally a womans size m8. 31mm would be considered a boys size. 32mm and above is where you can say it's a mens size.

>>61892634
>see? my watch is 33mm which means i am a man. anything below that makes you a boy or even woman. upvote me fine sir

>>61891990
Unless it's super-vintage, don't go below the mid-30's.

And even then, make sure it was originally a man's watch.

>>61891990
dude y do you need to wear such a small watch?

>>61892675
Just try and find a 28mm watch that was advertised as a man's watch. Taking the shorter dimension of a rectangular watch doesn't count either.

Does anyone know if the same hand sizes that fit on a 7s26 will fit on a Vostok Amphibia?


Might buy pic related for my amphibia but unsure on sizes.

I'm having trouble deciding between a sarb017 or a sarg005.

I like the screw down crown but the face and hands look kinda memey

>>61894083
sarg is more no nonsense design while the alpinist is a bit more polarizing. I love my alpinist but understand why someone would not like it. The sarg is a bit bigger though compared to the alpinist so factor that into your decision as well. The compass crown does not screw down on the alpinist so I consider the thing not suitable for swimming so the screw down main crown sorta is null.

>>61894083
The hands are the best part man.
I was thinking getting a sarg005 (I think you posted an 007 by the way), and when I looked into getting replacement hands for it, I realized I wanted the SARB.

>>61894175
I would buy the SARB in a heartbeat if it didn't have the compass ring. The face, the markers and those hands are beautiful imo.

>>61894408
After wearing mine all the time you really don't even notice the compass ring. Just blends right in.

hey you guys probably know this, my manual winding watch which is pretty old has been running very fast, where I have to basically reset it every 30-60 mins. what do I do? do I have to get it serviced? where do I get it serviced?

>>61895233
So how fast is it running exactly

>>61895299
im new to watches. how exactly do i tell?

>>61891990
the 38 makes me feel like a trap, 28 is insane

>>61895327
Well, either you use a device or program to listen to the watch and tell you the current rate it is running at. Or you simply let it run for a period of time and compare the actual elapsed time to what the watch is indicating. Expressed in + or - seconds per day, usually.

>>61895417
>device or program to listen
what the hell? how do i set that up?

>>61895431
something that listens to the watch pallet fork

>>61895327
Set the watch to a time exactly the same as another clock (digital or computer)
Record the difference at other times.
Done.

can you give me an example?

>>61896073
>>61896192

Maybe the watch was dropped, then exposed to magnetic fields stronger than the sun's, then lodged waaay up into Satan's anus.

Nothing to worry, btw.

What part of the look appeals to you? The chronograph? The dark-as-my-soul aesthetic? Either of those cost a lot of money if you want it done right. However, at a similar price point, you can do better depending on what exactly you want.

>>61892211
this desu. it's just a cheaper quartz SKX

>>61893758
Does Emma Watson have a watch channel?

>>61898897
So the main issue with that, technically speaking, is that cheaper watches with black bezels (I think ring or circle would be closer than sphere, it isn't an MB&F time machine) and cases is that they use a cheap PVD or other coating, which will scratch or tarnish easily which will destroy the aesthetic you like so much since it won't be black anymore. You can get better quality coatings at higher prices. If you don't care about durability, just search '(watch brand) PVD' and you should get plenty of watches with similar aesthetic.

>>61891990

>>61895299
since its gaining at a stupid rate, it sounds either broken or magnetised. either way you'll need to bring it to a watchmaker.

Swatch is a step up from Fossil at least. Other brands to check out include Seiko, Citizen, Casio, Timex, or Orient. Anything at that price point is going going to be a 'shitter' to some degree.

wearing my sarb017 today. the only rule for my collection (other than one watch per brand with a few exceptions) is no compromises, and the SARB017 is the only mid range seiko that doesn't feel like a lesser version of something else.

it's completely unique.

>>61900157

But I'm all in for a stylish look than an actual durable watch.

its not a field watch and not a diver so you cant snorkel with it or use it as a beater and it has a stupid compass for no reason .. you can't wear it with dress cloths cause the bezel and lume..not really sure what you do with the fucking thing.. you clearly don't have a real job

>>61900272
You can snorkel with it, it has 200m water resistance. You can use the compass as a compass anon, that is why it is there. You can get the direction. Given that it is part of the 'Alpinist' line, I'd assume it was designed around climbing mountains and doing nature shit.

>>61900193
If you want it for the look, go for it. If you grow tired of it in a year or two, you didn't spend that much money on it.

>>61900272
oh shit, when i go snorkeling, (which is something I and the majority of the population do often) what will i wear? It's a better watch in every way than an ETA meme khaki.

It's fairly slim and very dressy with the gold and green so it works as a dress watch, but its got 200m water resistance (so you could take it snorkeling). people wear divers with suits these days, so this definitely qualifies as a dress watch.

As for the job comment, you were the one talking about snorkeling just now. As if anyone living a real life cares about that retarded shit.

>>61900272
this triggers the seiko fags

>>61900326
they're owned by nigvicta but they are still run without their involvement and there are some very cool watches from them worth considering (Like the absurd thinness of the combat sub, or the Airman, which was worn by pilots in vietnam).

I love simple manual-wind movements like this. Then again I service my own watches, so I have a fair reason to like movements that are not ass-backwards overcomplicated.

how about ramsay's watch?

Maybe Bell and Ross or Sinn or something? Some sort of pilot-style watch.

>>61903030
It is a bell & ross. Someone in a previous thread identified the exact model. Check the archives.

>>61902975
the decoration is quite similar. I haven't seen it used anywhere else at least

i got it for £61 shipped. i saw one NOS for £45 a while back, but considering servicing it would run me around £100, i held off on it.

i got a pretty good deal I think.

>>61902806
simplicity is key to robustness i suppose. Although this was a more upmarket watch at the time, with your typical man wearing something with a Tongji in it usually.

Wow, Seagull has really stepped up their movement finishing.

No but seriously, why does Omega not do their trademark copper plating anymore? In the era of display casebacks you would think they would want to use something that stands out and which actually recalls historical Omega movements.

>>61903176
So lets say i want to buy a watch with a screwdown crown. I can either get it in manual wind(my prerference) or automatic. Would the daily unscrewing and re-screwing of the crown to wind the watch wear the crown stem down too quickly?

>>61903188
Gave me the chills senpai.

>>61903281
Do you know what copper alloy they used? I'm curious how it might age. I'm sure part of the reason is how ETA-dependant they were, at least for a while there.

>>61903281
Why doesn't Omega revive the 56x and make a nice 35mm dress watch with it.

well obviously you're unscrewing the crown more regularly than with an automatic, but I imagine if this was the case, then we would know about it by now. In any case, the crown tube can be replaced if it wears out for not too much money anyway.

He gives watches as gifts (expensive Blancpains) to random people.

(Federico doesn't make videos anymore and is only interested in 47mm behemoths that cost a million each, Christian is more into fashion than horology and for Archie it's undeniably a status symbol despite the fact that he couldn't hold down a job as a binman.

>>61905633
Ive thought about it as well.. Archie is retarded with some good bits of wisdom and a lot of first hand knowledge, tgv is a faggot, christian is a faggot, Federico just started re-uploading but he has no set taste and wants 20 thousand dollar watches. and those two college cucks may actually have brain damage.

My disinterest with Paul is putting resale value as a top priority. Yea I consider the value in proportion to what I am paying but don't let resale dictate my buys. I tend to like a watch for it's visuals and design aspects. Paul has such simpleton commentary when it comes to those aspects, which is boring. There are plenty of decent watches that while are not luxury items, they are far from shitters.

>>61905792
I agree

>>61905792
Exactly this. It's always about the buying and selling and nothing about the design, history or aesthetics at all. You don't learn horology from watching his stuff.

One thing i like about Archie is despite how much it fucks him over he still won't pretend to like shitty watches everyone wears to get a larger audience.

>>61905633
Check out EDCGunner, he's a legit reviewer from Bosnia with a decent and mostly affordable taste in watches. He has reviewed some absolute shitters from microbrands that pay him for shilling though, but who wouldn't say no to easy money like that anyway.

>>61905633
forgot to add that TGV seems to walk over everyone who gets in his way (fed, christian, archie and probably more in the future), though i do like him covering stuff that is considered too plebby by the rest of the holy trinity eg invicta (shit or not, at least he actually covers their existence like a real enthusiast).

>not just watching a youtuber that teaches you about what each part of a watch does and the difference between different types of the same thing so you have the knowledge to know what's good and what isn't and then cab make decisions your self

>>61905889
I like these guys. Though they do prattle on a bit too long sometimes. They have a homestyle feel that I like.

>>61905858
Again his top priority is resale. I agree with him on a few points. Yes knockoff homage shit is fucking pathetic. Even TGV agrees secretly. He says he stands by an old video on homages yet he blocked comments on said video. I also agree with people in these threads that after about $700 there is a lot of watches overpriced for what they are. I also like his thoughts on having a concise collection that is well thought out and tightly curated based off your interests.

>>61905988
Basically this.

That's just the problem with TGV he shilled Squale and he shills designer SKX's. Spending anything above $400 for a Seiko is a fucking mistake. Don't get me wrong I love my Seiko's and the SKX is awesome, but him buying $500 customized editions is him promoting cancer in the watch community. I get it, everyone can't own a Rolex but in reality you could own a second hand one or an Omega that is respectable if you saved yourself from 5 Seiko shitters. Hell even thot's manage to stop buying 15 Micheal Kors shitter shoes/bags and get a good pair at some point.

>>61905792
this is my point. he only seems to be interested in the watch in terms of cost, as if its a home appliance, which is ultimately how archie sees watches.

appliances in the sense that he needs them to live despite the obvious effect on the rest of his living quality.
the resale value because he has to have the latest or that doesn't satisfy his lust for the best watches and leaves him unable to follow this false lifestyle.

the guy is mentally ill or just has really odd priorities.

High accuracy quartz sounds cool but look at other high accuracy quartz options and compare prices and other features.

>>61896370
Open the case and adjust the speed by a few notches.

>>61906264
No one mentions either of those when watch channels in general get brought up.
My point is that those are pretty much the only youtube channels worth mentioning really. Talking about paid shills who sell themselves is pointless, they don't add much more than seeing how a watch wears on their wrist and even then it is only relevant if you have similar sized wrists.

>>61906403
That is a fair point i suppose. It would be nice to have a YouTube channel that went over the history and dimensions of iconic watches however.

>>61906425
That would be great. Hoodinkee touch on it in the watch talks but that needs the person to be passionate about that watch and history and them to ask about the history of that watch. The ones about the old Heuer chronographs with a couple of the people they have had on were really good imo. People seem to get very passionate about the Monaco versions.

Since I was probably about 10, I've loved watches. Not those fancy, overrated smart watches everyone my age seems to love, but REAL watches. Watches with mechanical parts, and hands instead of numbers. Being very young at the time, I obviously couldn't afford anything more than $10. Petty or shallow as it may be, when I turned 14 I decided it was about time I fulfilled a personal goal of mine to have a skeleton watch. My dad gave me $40 to put towards a watch for my birthday, but after searching high and low online I couldn't find a reliable skeleton watch that I really liked. So I saved my money and after doing chores for my parents and grandparents for a couple months I had saved up about another $60 and was able to buy this beauty. I know it's a relatively cheap watch compared to all these other guys with Rolexes and whatnot, but I'm proud of it and wanted to share it with you guys.

Save $10 more and get a Vostok Amphibia for around $60

>>61909512
do they have any models that look more refined and not super chunky?

>>61909456
Casio AE-1200.

>>61909512
Don't buy this dogshit. Every Vostok deserves to be crushed.

>>61909512
They're more like $70-80 unless you get one of the really ugly ones.

>>61909590
You can look at all the Amphibia models here.

I'm personally a 710 kind of guy, but I guess the 420 and 960 would be the least clunky for a diver watch.

>Suggests an AE-1200
>Calls Vostoks dogshit, which they are, but denies that Casios are too
Dude did you get bullied by some Russians on CS:GO or something?

This shitty casio is better, in both looks and function, than anything Vostok has ever made.

I love the AE1200 but

Just in case you need to know which way North is while you're diving.

Note: You will also need a compass.

Well there's a reason why the bezel is usually the first thing to go when someone buys a Vostok. I never understood why they used a bidirectional friction bezel instead of a ratcheting one, but I guess it's because they were designed on a shoestring Soviet budget and machining out the grooves would mean gulag for the engineers.

Who /officially certified/ here?

Still incredibly accurate (<1s/d) after 40ish years.

>No but seriously, why does Omega not do their trademark copper plating anymore?
Because The Swatch Group knowingly and deliberately destroyed every last vestige of Omega's movement design and manufacturing tradition barring the MOTFM.

You may not recall this, but for many years after The Swatch Group bought Omega, it was reduced to being a marketing and branding operation for watches manufactured entirely by other parts of the conglomerate.

>respectable
Not everyone purchases watches as mere totemic carriers of the false "respectability" imbued on them by branding and marketing.

The real cancer in the watch community is consumerists who totally fall for the modern art of watchmaking, which consists of treating the actual manufacturing of the watch as a cost center to be minimized in favour of the enhanced "prestige" that can be more easily created through marketing and advertising. Modern Omega being a prime example, though at least not so egregious as IWC and Panerai.

>>61910357
And it all goes back to those dirty fucking Japs for destroying the perfectly stable watch economy.

>Seiko made it so the swiss would turn into total jews
I see no flaw in this logic.

shut the fuck up bro a 4000 dollar gs is so fuckign similar to a 400 dollar seiko you would have to be told which was which as a laymen to tell the difference.

>>61909976
I'm pretty sure the 5256 movements were never certified but certainly were in range.

Nonsense. Grand Seikos are probably the best finished production watches in the world, period. Seiko throws so much labour at the ~5,000 watches a year that Grand Seiko makes, that their level of finishing has more in common with JLC than Rolex.

If you cannot tell that level of finishing appart from a $400 Seiko, then you are an absolute pleb.
