Some guy the other day (week) wanted a pic of my watch on my wrist and I just remembered now (earlier this morning at the gym).

It was a gift and it's not too bad of a watch. I get why people hate on it and can't say I would buy on myself personally but it got me into watches and now I know.

>>61955701
>Does the date work properly?
As far as I know it does yeah. I think it's set to 10.55pm in the pic so it's not far off changing.

>>61955975
I actually just ordered one. I wanted a cheap beater with a decent movement so i kept looking at the skx and the amphibian. With regulation the vostok movement can be sort of accurate but it sort of sucks. The skx is great but the movement sucks.. i kept going back and forth until i remembered the invicta.. Better seiko movement than skx.. 200 meters water resistant.. better lume than vostok. shipped to my house for 80 dollars. excellent beater for 80 bucks. Wear it camping swimming cooking etc.. dont even think about it or care if it gets damged.

>Philippe Dufour: I would say that you could buy at this price, maybe a bit less, a very good watch in terms of value and quality. It’s not Swiss — sorry — [but] a German brand called NOMOS. I found that this brand makes a very serious product. I like these watches, and for somebody who wants to start, I think this will be a good [choice]: not too expensive and good value for money.

I have never entered this argument on any of these threads but i honestly have no idea why people don't like nomos. they make decent watches with good in house movements. they are well made and finished to a pretty high standard as well. They charge in the low thousands for watches.. What is the problem here?

>>61957349
>quote where dufour is directly shitting on swiss watches
>doesn't want to talk shit about other brands

>>61957423
Here are the simple facts: Nomos are literally the first new company to develop the capacity to design and manufacture mechanical movements including escapements on a series production basis since the 1960s. They join Raketa, Vostok, Orient, Citizen, Seiko, ETA, Damasko and Rolex as the only non haute horlogerie companies capable of this.

Developing this capability took a several year and ~12 million Euro investment in escapements and a further ~2 million Euro investment in designing the ultra-thin DUW 3001 calibre. These are enormous investments from a company with an annual sales volume of 10,000 - 20,000 units, and as a result must necessarily be reflected in increased unit prices.

In an affordable luxury watch market heavily dominated by Chinese-cased ETA-powered marketing-driven shitters, any watchmaker that makes the investments required to become a manufacture and actually increase the technical diversity of series produced mechanical movements should be applauded no matter whether you like the aesthetics of their product line. To the extent that Nomos succeeds by following this path, it may serve to encourage more investment in the technical aspects of watchmaking by other companies rather than just investing in more value engineering (i.e. cost-cutting) and more advertising.

Just in the last 10 years we have gone from a $1,000-$4,000 market where every single watch was powered by an ETA movement to one where you can now choose between ETA, Tudor, Nomos, and Seiko (8rXXs, 8LXXs) and Damaskos. How can this development be regarded as bad for people interested in horology, regardless of whether you would personally buy any of those watches yourself? If only Miyota and Seiko would add micro-adjuster models to their ebauche offerings and Tudor would begin to use their in-house movement in more models, we could return to an era of real competition in movements in production watches not seen since the glory days of the 1970s.

Pure class on the manufacturing video, a must watch for those interested in the labour that goes in to producing such a magnificent piece of horological history.

>>61958754
They only similarity really is that they are easy to read watches. Design is very different and the purpose of the designs are quite different. But sure they are the same. Go you buddy.

So I assume with a mechanical watch, it's relatively easy to gauge the quality based on how it's physically put together (or something similar). Mechanical watches also require very complex engineering as the list of features goes up.
But how do you gauge a digital watch? Most features are dirt cheap to implement, and the materials/engineering is at a base level much lower in requirement. So what separates something super high end from a cheap casio?

I mean, maybe I'm absolutely wrong about this, and if I am I'd love to learn about how things actually are. But from where I'm standing, all digitals seem to sort of bleed into each other.

Can I ask you fine anons a question?

>Pic related
I really would want to have this watch. But It costs 275€ on a reputable german seller. Now 275€ ain't that much, but for some chink thingy that's certainly quite nice, but nothing special, that seems quite steep. Why can't I find it on aliexpress or similar? Do I really have to pay that much for it?

>Nomos
Should I buy myself a Nomos now, because they seem to get ever more expensive every year? when I first saw the Tangente, It was sub 1000€, but I thought "nah, that's like a third of a months pay, that would be stupid"
Now I earn even less, but i got enough fuck you money in the bank, so I figure I could go for it. Maybe used? How likely is it that I can use it as an "investment"? As in, it'll be worth more than it's buying price + service fees a few years down the road?

>Microbrand divers

Not sure what really is their target audience. So far, I have only seen them on middle management (40yo+ guys) and up in consulting and engineering companies.
>anyway, HOMOS is overpriced for what it is.
really?
All the watch sites I have read have a different opinion. What makes you say this? I'm afraid they'll just keep rising their price, until they really are overpriced.
But then of course, everything more expensive than a $5 Quartz is overpriced, when we are looking at the pure utility of having a device that tells you the time.

>>61962439
Their target audience is college-aged numales.

>>61962493
Really?
Never seen any fashion item in this price bracket (apart from iSomethings) on those folks. If anything, those guys wear the terrorist Casio (ironically, I suppose?) where I'm at.
I don't want to argue, but I'm really curios where you see numales with 1000€/$++ watches.

The real reason is because they stuffed the cheapest possible chinkshit quartz movement in an oversized case, and that's where the subdial layout is required for said movement.

But since you are offended by my rating, let me be offended too:

>>61961994
>Why can't I find it on aliexpress or similar?
Because the Seagull 1963 is basically a Hong Kong microbrand watch whose continued production is in the hands of one dude in Hong Kong that contracts teh Seagull factory to make them for him and does his own QC on them.

I'm not a particular fan of the Seagull 1963 but it is most definitely the best mechanical chronograph you can get for less than $1,000 new.

>Nomos
Please ignore the shitposting by people on /wt/ who take their dislike for Nomos styling to the point of shitposting like crazy about them. I pretty much would avoid Nomos either new or used unless you are able and willing to spend enough to buy one of their newer models with the in-house DUW movements or prepared to do enough research to be able to drive a very hard bargain on a used older model.

The older models use pretty boring movements and don't have much going for them other than their love it or hate it aesthetics. The new models with the DUW movements, however, also have very nice movements to commend them.

Obris Morgan produces the best dollar value microbrand divers in the world, but they don't put up runs for sale very often.

Thanks, did not know that about the 1963. It seemed to me that this model is just one Seagull keeps producing, apart from all of their >no, this is totally not a fake, it has a different name, see!!! shit watches. So there is probably no way around the rather steep prices. Can't really imagine that one dude ads 200€ worth of quality to a seagull. But yeah, it is a nice watch.

And Nomos is too expenisve for their old movements, but kinda OKish for their new, inhouse stuff? They are not cheap, but it seems like they are quite affordable for something with an inhouse movement.

>>61964213
what is that seiko diver called? is it the turtle?

how many "shitters" are acceptable to have?
I started with a 20 bucks casio and recently got the SKX007 and I was looking into 3 or 4 more 200-300 dollar budget watches. Mostly from Seiko or Casio until I plan to save money for the "real thing" like an omega or a rolex.

Is that okay or should I directly start saving. I was planning to maybe get the DW-5600E-1VER and a citizen eco drive perhaps.

>>61967116

>>61967149
well its not like I could never afford another watch afterwards. My idea was to slowly rise in price, get like a stock of 3-4 watches first and then save for a 4k upwards watch. But then I´d atleast have something to switch to every now and then

>>61967233
That seems like a fine plan. Be careful though, because there are a lot of awesome shitters out there, so choose carefully if you only want 3 or 4.

>>61967263

You can buy sterile watches in bulk

>>61967096
>>61967233
you are going to spend in total thousands on shitters where you could have just bought a used nice watch or put the money towards an even nicer time piece when you finally save enough... Get one or two reasonable watches to hold you over and save. Don't collect a box of shiters like the other fucking idiots in these threads. Long term satisfaction is more important than instant gratification.

>>61963628
Keep the SARB, Timex, Pobeda, Vostoks (Maybe ditch one if you can)
Ditch the Tissot, SNK809, And russian black chronograph.
Replace the Citizen with the NY0040-17LE or a nicer Seiko diver.

>>61968037
>stop liking things I don't like
Relax. I've spent thousands on shitters, but I haven't spent enough to by any of the high-end pieces I'm interested in. Even if I had spent that much, I wouldn't go back and spend differently, I like my collection. I'm sure you feel differently, and that's okay, but just because someone likes collecting watches differently does not necessarily make them an idiot.

>>61968355
this stop liking what i don't like meme needs to die.. you have shit taste and make excuses for your short sighted actions.. If you like shitty watches fine but don't make it seem like your choices are valid based on any sort of rational plan . I really like ferrari's. I really like driving and want a really good track car. I am trying to save up for a Ferrari but instead of deposting the money in my bank account i bought a new car as soon as i could afford it. My 3 series, Subaru, Mitsubishi, gtr, and c class, toyota corolla, lada, volga, and trablant were just as good of a decision as buying the Ferrari I initially wanted. ... you want to go down this retarded path fine.. but do not suggest this to other people.. Not to mention if you actually wanted to service anything it would be so fucking expensive it wouldn't make sense. You now have 10 mechanical watches that need a service every 5-10 years for optimal function costing hundreds of dollars per service.

>>61968571
Who is this newfag and why is he still posting?

>>61968571
Dude, I completely agree. Every time I see some faggot wearing a Rolex or Omega I can't help but laugh. They could have been saving up for a real watch like a Patek or Lange, but they have no self-control and went for instant gratification.

>>61968571
Only time a agree with this is when I see these fuckers pay $500-$800 for a submariner/GMT homage. If you can drop $800 on a watch then you can wait and save a bit and get the watch you really want instead of settling.

>implying i have any watches lol

So this has gotten me thinking about what watches are shitters.
So far I think the best I can come up with for a definition of shitter is, shitter: a watch that is less expensive to replace (entirely, or just the movement) than to service and maintain.
I like it since it covers both low end watches in general as well as more expensive shitters that use unmodified ETAs.

Vintage Hamilton. Also there is the contemporary Hamilton Khaki Mechanical but that has a date. Just over $200 but entry level swizz.

Btw I'm selling the blue Scuba Dude and the black Russian chronograph. The GMT Vostok is staying because it was a bday present from my brother. I'm waiting for a GMT black/white bezel from Russia for it.
The Sturmanskie chronograph (the one with the Breitling-like case) is also staying because I really dig it's odd look and it's rare 31659 movement with seconds hacking.

Also:

The Tissot is staying despite all the hate from /wt/fags because it belonged to my father and it basically fulfills the role of jogging/trekking watch because of its durability and compass.

The SNK809 is also staying because of its sentimental value, it was the first mechanical watch I got back in 2007 from my older brother for my 14 bday, way before it became a meme watch. It basically got me into mechanical watches and horology in general.

>>61970373

Need some advice, my grandfather recently passed away and he left me his favourite watch (pic related). You can tell he wore it a lot because it is in a bit of a state, it needs a good clean (particularly the band) and such.
As well as getting it cleaned I figured I should get it serviced as I am led to believe its relatively old and has only ever had its battery changed by dubious watch guys at the local market. Where would be a good place to take it in (UK, Reading)? I understand goldsmiths do watch servicing but I figured I should ask as google is giving me bugger all.

Been selling off stuff I don't wear.

R8 what I trimmed down to.

>SARX035
>SARG003
>SARG015
>SUR151

I want to swap my beater for something that is dressy and also a beater since I'm a bartender, and I will wear it to work. Probably going to sell the SARG015 next week and keep that slot empty for a while.

I found your watch for less than 40 bucks, i'll link it to you, but only if you ask me nicely.

>>61971051
Yeah he had told me about getting the battery changes when I talked to him about it. Plus it is still keeping good time despite not having been worn since his death last month.

>>61971082
Show it cunt. It's probably trash anyway.

>>61970944
Learn focus stacking and that'll turn out real nice.

Replace the nato strap on that dress watch for a perlon and this is OK.

Meh, price is kinda steep for an old hohol shitter. If I keep digging around at the fleamarket I'll eventually find one half the price.

You may not use it as your dress watch, but it's a dress watch nonetheless.

Are there any Timex watches made here or at least have Swiss or Japanese movement? I thought they were all made at bayonet point in China these days so I avoid them.

Pic related I bought. Feel free to roast me, I don't care I like it a lot. To top it I'll have to spend around $3K and if I ever do that I'll buy a used Rolex because basic bitches know that brand.

Is that even a question? A NOS condition vintage Seiko timepiece! Definitely worth the investment of 20 USD. You are buying history and quality when you buy this timepiece.

>>61959945
That is pretty nice, but you'd be out of your mind to pay $60-$70 for a plastic cased quartz. That thing is like $30 tops.

It's not a dress watch. It's a dressy sport watch, similar to a Datejust.

I like the looks of the a lot of the classic style Timex watches buy just don't know about the build. But for $40.-. Fuck can I say about that?

It doesn't have the field watch styled dial though. If they made one with the dial of the Mk-1, but with the case of the scout then it'd be a GOAT beater watch.

>>61972369
Seiko or citizen chronograph

>>61972406
Sorry, wrong brands.

>>61972369
Some quartz shitter.

>>61972406
>>61972424
Hint: it has two motors, one runs the minute and hour hands, the other, the second hand.

>>61972424
Tissot alarm chrono then

>>61972445
Pretty obvious, considering all the gears are evidently constructed from polymers with a low X-ray cross section.

>>61972473
Sorry. It's a Casio. The bottom left should tell you which one.

Another diving expedition where the timing bezel was really essential!

>>61972606
is that from the prospex line?

>>61972621
Seiko doesn't make any divers that aren't prospex

>>61972621
Yup, it's the gold hand/indices version of the turtle, SRP-something

>>61972876
Apart from, you know, the skx and the Seiko 5 divers, and the GS divers, and others I'm probably forgetting.

Now that you mention it I'm frankly amazed they haven't slapped that stupid fucking logo on the SKX already.
>Seiko 5 divers
Which ones? They make diver styled watches in the line but no proper dive watches, although arguably the SKX could be considered one.
>GS diver
Fair enough, but it would certainly be branded that way if not for the GS trumping it. So two watches out of like the 20 different divers they make.

>>61972876
I was unsure if it was Prospex or SKX (discontinued)

>>61973027
Idk what the reference number is, but the nickname is the sea urchin, the one people use for the 50 fathoms mod. Obviously not ISO, but it still functions as well as any other non ISO 'diver.'
