But it doesnt have to use an oscillating elememnt just because there were nobwatches without it before. Its like calling all quartzes synced to an atomic clock atomic because most of their precision comes from the atomic element.

Think about it like this, if the EM break is ever made so finely tuned that it keeps time on its own, and you add a quartz on top of that for some extra accuracy, is it a quartz watch?

They wouldn't know, cause if you remove the crystal from their quartz watches, unlike a spring drive, they stops for them :^)

This is the post all of you do not reply to.

@62070670
thank (you) :^)

So I got quoted $35 at one jeweler and $80 at another to change the battery, gaskets, and pressure seal to water tight resistance for my Tag Heur Formula 1.

The watch needs the battery changed like every 3 years.

Can I put a stronger battery that will last longer?

What watches don't need batteries?

I know my fathers rolex and brightling don't. He puts them in a box that spins them while he doesn't wear them.

Please help, I'm trying to get back into to watches like I used to as a young lad.

What is the point of having date windows in that style? I see it quite often.

>>62072189
In some cases it can be less aesthetically jarring. A lot of the time just having a single rectangle of some color that doesn't match the dial can really mess up the watch face. That isn't much of an improvement, but I think it works pretty well on the Nomos worldtimer. IWC manages to pull it off somewhat better than the one you posted as well.

It's the easiest thing in the world to do to a watch, next to changing the strap. Literally all you have to do is pry off the back with a butter knife or a small flathead and looks for a suitable battery at any fucking store.

>>62074698
i guess by ur post, you can tell me what isnt swiss in rolexes (in particular interest are preceramic subs)

>>62074722
you guess wrong, I can not. But it's still worth thinking about what exactly "100% swiss" means to you. For example, I suspect gold and diamonds in Rolex watches are not mined in Switzerland.

>>62074820
i mean the all the steel, and parts, and the entire production for the entire watch is done in switzerland

btw, doesnt rolex have their own
gold' mine or foundry or someting? bit of a side note this one, as i am realy only interested in s/s

>>62074722
>>62074820
iirc there was a hodinkee article posted here yesterday or the day before about Rolex factories. They are 100% in house swiss made (raw materials come in, Rolex magic, then swiss watch out.)
>>62074873
Yep they have their own foundry, I think the cut gem stones are the only exception to the above reply.

>>62074873
Even in steel rolexes, the hands are made of gold. Indices too, I believe, though not sure.

Is this that oil filled watch that makes the dial look like it's on the curved glass?

>>62074938
yes

>>62074653
Definitely at least mostly Swiss, but they're not exactly transparent about their supply chain. How far back do you want to go? Final assembly of all the parts? Finishing the parts? Producing the parts from the metal stock? Growing their synthetic sapphires and rubies? Forging the metal? Mining the metal? Producing the ore through Earth's geological processes? Creating heavier elements from nuclear fusion? Creating the universe?

Why does it even really matter who made it and where it came from? They used to brag about using Swedish steel in their ads. Today they forge their own gold alloys. Their hands to this day are not made in-house, they come from Fiedler SA. They used to buy their bracelets from a company called Gay Frères, now it's a Rolex subsidiary. Those are all the little tidbits I know.

>>62074905
Hands and applied indices have been white gold for a while now. I think in Subs it started around the 80s.

lmao. she paid $2 on eBay from a Malaysian seller. it look about 15 days. I'll wear it as sort of a reminder that the price doesn't matter; the value does. I'll look at this watch and see it as a symbol of her thinking about me, and caring about me enough to get this for me. it may be a shitter from malaysia, but what matters more is that sentimental value outweighs any Rolex or high priced watch. actually, nevermind. she should have gotten me a Rolex submariner. stupid fucking bitch knows nothing about watches.

>>62079200

316L stainless steel, what Rolex uses for their watches, is also used for plumbing that carries toilet water and feces out of your house.

>>62079209
For it to be inexpensive it would have to remain an industrial process. It would be expensive for you to get an individual piece you have coated for a variety of reasons. The equipment is fairly specialized. The watch you have would have to be taken completely apart and professional cleaned before coating and it would make no sense as it doesn't provide anything but a cheap semi durable coating.

Also You are a fucking idiot because plumbing is not made of 316l which is actually pretty fucking expensive. most of you guys should check this website out https://www.mcmaster.com/. and maybe learn a few things about material pricing and specifications prior to comment as maybe only on or two of you has any experience making a single fucking thing.

no one answers valid points and people just keep pushing their random arguments based on nothing. Look at the last thread. The entire argument was semantic and one side made no sense.

>316L stainless steel, what Rolex uses for their watches, is also used for plumbing that carries toilet water and feces out of your house.

This is wrong on both levels. For starters Rolex hasn't use 316L steel for their watches since the 1980's. Two, no one uses surgical grade stainless steel for fucking plumbing to your toilet.

>>62079557

yeah Rolex actually uses 904l (http://www.finetubes.co.uk/products/specialist-tube-materials/stainless-steel-tubes/alloy-904l-uns-n08904-werkstoff-nr.-1.4539/) which is pretty fucking impressive.

>>62079413
Obviously the pic is not mine so I can't take a better photo. I found it on someone's fb.

>>62079504
That is not good, but it's also not representative of the depth of technical and historical knowledge about watches in these threads. Most watch forums on the internet are essentially totally dominated by people whose knowledge of watches consists of whatever marketing they've been exposed to and whatever mindless opinions they've picked up from their "wear it in good health!" fellow clueless idiots. You do realize most WUS participants wouldn't be able to explain to you how a mechanical watch works with a gun held to their head, right?

Doing redials on vintage Rolex watches is like your faggot millennial grandson taking your numbers matching Dodge Charger, stripping all of the body panels off, and turning it into some "stanced" river abomination.

Also recently found a watchmaker that's both capable and willing to work on pretty much any watch i can grab my hands on, said watchmaker serviced these two over here and i need to figure out how and if i can manage to sell them via my judiaic internet voodoo.

don't smoke those Chinese cigarettes fuck your throat up; even the expensive ones. That beer sucks. fake zippos suck. parnis is better and also one more thing. What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>62080820
Most of the tobacco is produced in China anyway
Parnis doesn't offer the Milgauss in 36mm
You can't fuck up beer that badly
The 'Zorro' oil lighter is quite nice, as it has a better hinge than zippo's

I work at a magazine that has about the same level of history and readership as that one.

Often these organizations need any sort of revenue they can get.

My workplace advertises some shitter watch, and they've been doing it for like 40 years because it's a stable source of income.

>>62081048
Still unsure about pricing, as i'm doing it from NIS to USD and checking the profits on my part (since i'm selling it for somebody).

For the 162.0060 (562) De ville i was thinking somewhere from 260 to 320 and on the 30t2 anywhere from 360 to 520~ since it still has the radium lume (fuck knows, i've seen them all the way from 300 to 700 lately).

Both were checked and cleaned by a watchmaker and are running pretty smoothly.

Yes, of my Mark 4.5 Speedmaster. More than double, actually, not that I would ever sell it.

>>62081848
No, but I don't care about that. It has arguably the best true tool chronograph movement design ever made, since the chronograph is directly driven off the drivetrain and therefore the chronograph function has the highest shock resistance and g-force resistance of any mechanical chronograph movement ever made.

It also has a central chronograph minute register, making it much more legible for timing than trying to read a minute total off a small subdial. Finally, it's also one of the most reliable chronograph movements ever made.

>>62079486
>The watch is quartz regulated.
Not really, it's quartz referenced.

>>62081956
yeah please stop. Your argument is semantic and nonsensical as well. the quartz oscillator is the only thing in the watch responsible for it being a watch and keeping accurate time. No quartz no watch. The quartz is ultimately responsible for accurate regulation and thus is an essential component in regulation. Seiko calls it a Tri-synchro regulator where all parts come together to make up the regulator. the electromagnet is not capable of timing the watch due to varied input power that has to be regulated. There is no way to make this watch work without REGULATING input power to the em which REGULATES the watch. This is what you are referring to as the em referencing the quartz crystal. This is an electromechanical quartz watch. There is no way around this. You can keep going for as long as you like. Shit up this thread as well. I could not give less of a fuck.

There is an older gen black one 4S15-6000 that has a simlar vibe but hard to come by. Sometimes on ebay but for high prices. There is also the SARG007, which again has the same vibe but not the exact same. Maybe you could swap the hands on the SARG with cathedral style hands?

I did actually, but I found them to be a tad too minimalistic for my taste. Frankly I was just looking for some confirmation so I can pull the trigger on the Panomaticluna

To wear a watch with black tie attire is kind of a faux pas, and especially so with a sport watch, but it sounds like the Seiko SRPB41J1/SARY073 might be something you'd be into.

I was actually thinking of something that wouldn't hurt if I lose/break/stolen. Something almost militar. Pic related (Fortis B42 Marinemaster) would be perfect if it wouldn't be that huge (42 mm, come on, that's just ridiculous).

>>62085509
Dress watches can be worn with formalwear and even black tie. Some people don't wear a watch at all with black tie because you're not supposed to be checking the time, I think that's kind of silly. A proper dress watch is small and has a leather strap and they're usually precious metals. A steel watch with a bracelet is a sports watch.

>>62085628
>own
But does he?

>>62085509
At a black tie event your focus is on the event itself, the hosts, and guests; it might even be considered rude if you wear a watch because it could have the connotation that you have other places to be. Nowadays that rule is obviously pretty antiquated, but you should at least wear a watch that is understated and clean. You're not James Bond, so stop eyeing a big diver.

>>62085628
I thought people gave him shit because he couldn't hold a job as a bin man, and needed to start reviewing watches for handouts.

>>62086509
people keep saying this but they apply it to massive watches. A dress watch on any wrist between 6.75 and 7.75 inches should be 34-36 mm a dive watch should be 38-40mm. It should be bigger than a dress watch yet should not look retarded on peoples wrists. A submariner is a big fuck you watch already. 37mm on a woman is a bi t fucking much unless we are talking about a real big bitch.

It is a rock solid watch that wears smaller than its size and will be reliable but the movement sucks and it has qc issues with alignment. it is made in china and you can probably do better for the money considering you should replace the bracelet when you get it.

Perspective and focal length makes a huge difference in watch photos.

Doesn't change that the lugs are as wide/hanging over your wrist.

It probably is (mostly because of the lugs), but the difference should be obvious between the two pictures.

In any case, here's an snk on a 16cm wrist; if the wrist in >>62087442 is really 15.3 then a lot of the stupid oversize appearance is the picture.

Hi guys, what do you think about this Invicta my gf gifted me?

>>62087845
The lugs in this pic are well short of the edge of the wrist. >>62087442 here they are clearly wider than the wrist.
The camera trickery does change things but it doesn't change that and to me the lugs are more of an indicator of how big a watch is rather than diameter.

>>62087924
If only he'd followed through with the wrist shot database.

>>62087929
1/10 this time as you only keep trolling with Invicta's. Change up the brand next time.

>>62087978
The fuck? This is my first time posting an invicta.

>>62088345
Are you sure you're not just trying to make the watch more visible to others due to long sleeves?

Some people have big wrists. 40mm watches look silly on me.

>>62088955
True good taste . love seeing it. Take some outdoor pics

>>62087580
That looks comically big. Post a picture of it on your actual wrist at a distance

I appreciate the micro engineering involved but a tourbillion does nothing to improve the accuracy in modern watches and only exists to add an unjustified multiplier to the watch price.

The Strapcode bracelets I have are the best I've owned. I have a super oyster on my SKX & a super engineer on my Pulsar PW3001.

>>62089199
Okay, I will do at some point. The trouble is that it's a bit too dressy to wear most of the time.

>>62083126
It's a perlon strap. There's many different weaves.

>>62080433
>bright yellow power reserve

It isn't a dress watch at any fucking size.

is the pulsar any good?
