Whats the best luxury watch for a newbie?
My price is 700-100 euro.
My current collection isn't any thing great.
I own a Casio f91w, Casio AQ-230A, Braun BN0032 and a orient although I'm not sure what type.

Yeah but it's the 60s/70s so every watch that has a battery in it needs to have a "tron"somewhere in the name to make it sound like it's a piece of tech from Star Trek. Accutron, Astron, Cosmotron, Computron, etc.
Also I guess it could be named after the equally pop-sci named particle accelerator from the 50s.

So, I wanted a high quality dressy watch (already have a Poljot DeLuxe), was thinking about an Omega Deville (vintage) and almost saved up the money for it.

Then this shows up, and I'm a sucker for guilloche and patterned dials in general.

Should I get an alligator or calf skin hirsch strap if I'm putting it on a dressy watch that I would like to wear with both formal and casual attire?

>>62110762
Find someone willing to sell you their imperial

>>62110827
I never liked alligator for dress watches, I prefer lizard skin both in texture, bulk (lack of), and pliability. They're slim, soft and look classy, especially with the shiny treatment.

Anyway, alligator is more versatile. And it's fine with casual wear too, most fashion and mall watches, even sporty ones, are on (fake) alligator so it's not like you'd stick out if you wear jeans and an alligator strap.


That said, calf is far more comfy and soft, but also boring. It'd look great on a Bauhaus or other minimal watch though.

Hey /g/, looking to buy a used high-end mid tier watch OR an entry-level luxury watch on Ebay. My budget is $400-$500. No quartz shit, stainless steel band, nothing too big in size as my wrists are fairly small.

..do you think I can wear this watch casually with jeans and a t shirt, I'm never really in that many formal situations and I am worried about it looking odd

>>62117082
Looks comfy.

>>62117259
After being able to see both this and the black SARB035 in person i can guarantee that the SARB is the better option.

The quality of the finish is much better, and the only reason not to get the SARB is if you want a white dial and the cream dial is off putting.

>>62117259
Get the SARB if you want a smaller watch.

They're the Ford Taurus or Seiko Presage of the luxury car world. He'd be better off buying a 7 series from the same era, or even something like a 911. Sure it'll still bankrupt him like the Maserati would, but at least it wouldn't signal that he's still a tasteless bogan at heart.

Timex is pretty good, the only thing from Invicta that you should get is the pro diver, and Skagen makes some nice designs but at the end of the day they're still owned by Fossil and have had QC issues in the past.

Vostok's are usually reliable little fuckers that keep ticking consistently no matter how you torture them, and the timings i gave were averages for two weeks of constant running.

Though i did have one Komadirskie a while back that no matter how i regulated it went fucking ballistic, either it was +5 for a day, into -60 the other day and +23 on the next. Just for shits and giggles as i had a few old dismembered Vostok movements i dropped a 40 year old balance and it worked like a charm afterwards.

Checked the original balance under a loupe and it was fine, so still have no idea why it happened till this day.

Most of the Citizen Promaster line (ecodrive), varies from 200 to 450 and in the 400$ range you start getting into the JDM area with the PMD series that have some fantastic dive and field watches.

Otherwise Seiko has plenty of offerings from 75 as far as quartz/solar goes, but if you want the better stuff they have it's going to be the SUN019/021/023 kinetics which are splendid and solar models. Padi variants are pretty neat as well.

>>62120396
A vintage seiko quartz off niponland or a vintage soviet watch maybe? There are some vintage Timex too.

>>62120396
Seiko 5, auto Dirskie, Amphibia or Komadirskie with soviet murals.

Alternatively looked for some vintage cheapo.

What styles of watches get girls attention?

>>62123431
None to tell the truth. If a girl asks you about your watch she already likes you and is just trying to find excuses to talk to you. A watch that you have a personal story with to continue the conversation is the best watch.

>>62123431
Blue dials.

How does servicing work?

My Speedmaster is old enough to start thinking about sending it in.

Do I send it directly to Omega? Or do I have to go through a boutique / official retailer?

How much will it cost?

>>62123675
You can send it to Omega if you want to get fucked senseless, or you can bring it to a reputable watch repairer and pay a quarter of the price.
You're likely gonna want a cleaning, as well as an adjustment to get it back up to spec.

Best analogue watch with at least a 40mm face and nylon/leather stream for under $100? Under $50?

>>62124121
My serious recommendation would be to save up another 100 and get a real watch for like $200. Under 100 and under 50 really limit your options.

>>62124197
What would you look at for $200 then? I was looking at something like the Timex Expedition Scout, which seems basically like a 40mm and slightly better looking Weekender.

>it's another "that diver watch is too big for your wrist" post

You /fa/gs do realize that the small watch meme applies to dress watches primarily and maybe field watches at most? Even the GOVNAH talks about watch etiquette while he wears his meme Squale that's borderline too big for his wrist.

Pic related is when the dive watch is too big, it's obvious since he's doing what obvious wristlets do, shoving that watch all the way to the damn hand.

>>62124245
At 200 dollars, you can get a bunch of Japanese automatic dress and dive watches (Seiko anything, Orient Ray/Mako/Bambino/etc.), you can get Citizen solar quartzes, you can get quartz chronographs, etc.

From 200-300 you can even dip your feet into Swiss automatics like the Hamilton offerings.

The only people who complain about watches being too big are people with bitch wrists. Every review TGV does he's like hurrr its too big I wish it was 38 or 36mm XD. That Sumo or Shogun(which ever) is slightly too big for that person, but it would likely be ok becuase that's modern styling.

Based Archie said it right, small watches are not modern, they're faggot sized.

>>62129916
I've tried demagnetizing before changing the balance but it didn't do jack.

>>62130185
The price highly depends on the movement and some other details, but if you're looking for ones within a reasonable price range they can go for 300 to 600 depending on how good of an example it is.

Ideally, if it's one with a decently common movement, look for one that's cosmetically great and perhaps with a bad movement to get it restored. For example 56X powered Seamasters can go for 350~700$ easily, but good examples can be found at 500$.

Look for cheap Poljot 3133s on eBay. I've seen some go for 80€ here in Germany. Mine was 120€ and is in perfect shape but that was good luck.

I think I just need to find a watch shop that'll put it on a timegrapher because I obviously introduced some sort of variable here.

You can turn your computer into a decent enough timegrapher for like $30.
