Recommend me a mens watch in the $300 range.

Can a fully mechanical watch be had for $600?

What are my chances of getting a new crown that doesn't costs a fortune?
I think they were pretty popular once.
Pic related obviously. But not mine.

>>62171532
Crowns are relatively easy to replace with cheap generic ones. Can't say whether a watchmaker would do it for cheap though.

>>62171761
I think I know a place.
I just wasn't certain they'd be able to use a generic one.
I feared it had to be an original one. Thanks for the answer.

Don't listen to the clinically retarded. If it has to be like $1000 you could try to swing a regular Seamaster in the $1000-1250 range. If not theres plenty of Seiko Divers that more than fit the bill like the new Turtle, Samurai's, Shogun, SBDC051 and regular SKX's that are fine.

Buying a Steinshit is moronic TGV facebook group tier.

It's not a matter of disappointing or not. Whether you are into high end quartz is a matter of personal preference. It's just that you said it was "fully serviced" and quartz GS models don't need to be serviced until 50 years old.

Man, I just got done looking at this one and thinking the same exact thing. This is a gorgeous watch you legitimately have to be 6'5" and 300 lbs to pull it off as a dress watch in the classical sense. It's completely retarded.

And if this is a Japanese company, can you imagine this thing on their little wrists? It looks like a dinner plate

>>62180890
if you're a wine connoisseur it supposedly heats up the wine too much and changes the taste. Personally, I drink beer usually and there temperature really matters, I buy wine only once in every couple months for shits and giggles

back on topic, if you could only have one watch what would it be? Personally I'd choose a 36mm datejust with a fluted bezel, not too sure about the dial though

>>62180924
>if you're a wine connoisseur it supposedly heats up the wine too much and changes the taste
Honestly, being a wine connoisseur sounds like complete bullshit. Virtually everything I've ever read on the subject seems to suggest that nobody can really tell the difference over midrange wine—it either tastes good or it doesn't.

>>62180937
again the reason why I prefer beers, you have all kinds of different styles from IPA's to stouts to lagers, so each and every bottle is interesting and different
and as you mentioned I vaguely remember some study where certified sommeliers couldn't tell that the dyed white wine wasn't in fact red

>>62181264

I can't think of any modern 1960's style dress watches in 34-38mm sizes with domed crystals that aren't quite expensive (pic related).

There are lots of vintage options, if you are prepared to learn enough about the subject not to get ripped off.

Need a watch recommendation. I do in home visits for my own company for computer related shit. Usually just virus removal and tune-ups and what not but occasionally I'll get sub contracted out to terminate CAT or do data recovery or something. Problem currently is my employers ask for down to the minute hours booked and I need to count mileage as well. What watch should I buy to use as a timer that I can start when I start a job and stop when I leave ?

EBay but as >>62181392 says avoid Ukraine. If you buy them branded as Sekonda from the UK you should be alright.

The whole "chronograph with unreadable subdials meme" started by a company called MVMT. But their watches are overpriced bullshit.
I found this on Aliexpress for you by searching "chorograph."

You can always buy a set of hands and a strap separate if you absolutely have to have that particular no-brand chinkshit watch.

I love that these old watches have that sort of X and Y intersection. Maybe it's also because I like grid patterns.

>>62185436
Just fyi, the subdials don't actually work on the chink knockoff but there's nothing actually on them so who the hell cares.

>>62185365
It can be. A sub looks pretty good, is durable, and is waterproof so its a good activity watch. If you walk around day to day with a fucking padi 48mm tool diver on your wrist that pretty much guarantees you hang your hat on a toy katana.

>>62185365
What about wearing a chronograph when you don't actually race cars? Or a pilot's watch when you don't fly planes? Or a dress watch when you're an unemployed neet?

So pretty much we all need to ditch our wrist watches and just use our phones as digital pocket watches.

>>62185818
Chronographs have a variety of uses beyond car racing. I use mine as an egg timer while cooking, a stop watch at horse races, and when I'm feeling mega autistic I can calculate my fuel consumption on long drives.

A "pilot's watch" I suppose could be useful if you're far sighted. A GMT movement could be useful not just for travel, but if you have friends who live in other time zones and want to make sure you aren't calling them at 3 in the morning.

Dress watches can get you a "welcome aboard" rather than a "we'll call you" at an interview.

>>62186068
No, just don't wear watches that don't fit your lifestyle.

And I sometimes wear a diver because I want a tough watch that I can wear with business casual. Besides, the actual fedora-tier move would be wearing an automatic watch while diving, rather than a wrist-mounted dive computer.

A dive watch is probably the most innocuous kind of watch out there, dude. Not everyone who wears a diver does so to implicitly inform you that they're adventurers or some shit. Some people just want a watch they can beat about in a hot and steamy kitchen for hours on end.

>>62186194

If you want a mechanical, a Seiko 5. Likely snk809/snk807, which are the usual babbys first mechanical. Keep in mind it will probably run within 10 seconds per day but could be as bad as 40.

If you want quartz analog, probably timex (especially expedition, weekender, or easy reader).

If you want quartz digital, probably a gshock.

Why pay an extra 10k for a watch that is less durable, less accurate, and requires more maintenance than some $200-700 quartz?

I also need solar which limits my choices.

This is my daily wear and has been for some years. Had I known cooler japanese models existed when I bought it I would have gotten the carbon fiber titanium version.

As it stands I have a hard time justifying its replacement with something "nicer" like the heavier dlc coated 5600 or the aforementioned titanium case back and carbon fiber straps one.

It has become part of me with all its scratches and wear. I love the 80's look, a homage to the first g-shock, while also looking like a shitter to everyone's eyes save for some g fags.

This is the watch I wear when I travel to shitholes.

The same reason you pay an artist to create art to put on your walls rather than just printing pictures of the same art to use.
You can feel/see the quality. There is personality you can get through that you miss out on with the cheaper alternative. You can see and feel the care that has gone into it.
Practically speaking a tough solar digital like this >>62190451 is the perfect watch, it has its own personality but sometimes you want more from something. The sweeping second hand for instance is a pleasure to look at, so are the finishing of the metal, the aesthetic of the hands and marker and those kind of aspects make up for the lack of accuracy and increased cost.

Why Zenmarket over Buyee?

>>62191930
At least just for looking at stuff, the interface at zenmarket is much better. I haven't actually bought off buyee so I suppose I can't speak to that, but buying off zenmarket has been great.

>>62191845
How much did you pay for yours?

>>62192000
Noted. I'll look into them a bit more, thanks for the heads up.

All that work giving everyone (you)s and you didn't even get dubs.

Is it wrong to prefer a slightly "messier" face with something like the omegas in this picture
>>62191434
Over the seiko and vintage watches posted throughout this thread? Is one style better for dressing up?

>>62192039
That one is basically over that already

>>62192154
I would say busy face not messy.
Thinner smaller diameter watches are better for dress watches imo.

>>62192178
I'm aware. I didn't say you should buy it, just mentioning that there is one available right now.

>>62192216
Should I buy it dad

That's slightly unfair, I like the slightly larger watches (40-44) with busier faces. Tiny watches with no features are kind of boring to me. Why did things have to be this way?

>>62192605
People had class back then.

>>62192605
Well thin is important because it needs to fit under the cuff of your shirt this is needed imo where everything else is preference and fit.
I say smaller diameter because they tend to fit more snug to your wrist again for the cuff but larger works if the lugs are well designed. I was thinking more mid to high 30s not tiny.
The watch can be whatever complications you want really but I would say no diving bezels and I'm not a fan of chronographs because of the pushers sticking out look ugly and you should not need a chronograph in any situation you are dressed up.

>>62187979
You have my favourite version.

What's the modern quartz digital? I'm curious aout the animals at the top of the dial

>>62181499
most casio watches have chronos, all the g-shocks have chronos and so do alot of the cheaper options like the f-91w or the ca-53w
