Of course today, if you were comfortable wearing an expensive mechanical dive watch while diving, you'd actually wear an in-house Pelagos as it's a much better functional tool diver at this point.

Beib that's what I'm talking about

>>62286618
is true

btw when people say a dive watch should be bigger they mean big as in the sub or pelagos not 45 mm

Is there any watch that has a Vantablack dial color?

For those who don't know: vantablack is a newly created coating that absorbs 99.92% of light.

Remove the dial, apply it, insert back in?
You have the only watch in the world with that coating.

Good luck and Godspeed.

my try, pretty stupid though since you can get a new Sinn 104 for the same price.

>>62287500
recently looked at the Orient (Star) GMT models and I have to say the main problem with them I think is that it seems kinda hard to discern which hand is for what time unit on some of the models. They often look the same at a glance. Also there's a similar thing as with Grand Seiko: Why pay this much for what's still an Orient.
Plus they look like they wear just a tad too bigly.
They have a good reputation though and the new movement from the Ray 2 seems to be really good actually.

>>62287019
those two are not even in the same league.

>>62287276
that wasn't my point! the pelagos costs $3200 more. my point is about people that act like wearing a 42mm diameter scuba diving wristwatch or wearing a 45mm diameter scuba diving wristwatch is the difference between being tasteful or not.

>>62287677
42mm = tasteful gentleman's watch
45mm = hideous oversized puke

>>62287664
Yea Orient seems to have this constant problem of their hands being too short.

This is the GMT I'm looking at doesn't really have a hand problem any more than a Rolex with it being bright red. A guy asked about cheaper GMT's here and I looked for the recommended ones locally and found this. It's second hand so pretty cheap but still a little too much for me to get right now so I'm still looking for better deals.

Well I guess I'll be building my own Sturmanskie now. I'll be using NOS parts, I already got the dial, hands and movement (pic, looks like it's made around '89-'90), and a NOS steel case shouldn't be hard either, but I don't want to blow all my pay all at once and starve till the end of the month.

I'll pass the time by servicing the movement, since the factory oils are long dead. It's gonna be my first mechanical chronograph job, yay! Also I wanted to get a movement holder, but while they make a fuckton of them for the Valjoux 7750 it seems there's none for the V7734, and the two movements are different size, with the 7750 being around a millimeter smaller in diameter.

>>62290298
What case material is that? It looks interesting. If it were 5 mm smaller and made by a company other than Panerai I would totally consider it.

>>62290351
It's some sort of carbon fiber composite.

>>62290097
God why do Panerais have to be so huge and overpriced for what they are? Why can't they just make it 38~42mm like every other normal diver?

>>62290298
That doesn't look too big if you consider that guy in the pic has a tiny wrist. I don't really have anything to take a picture comparing my wrist size here but my phone (Samsung S8) is about the same width as across the top of my wrist.

No I see that and agree, that's why I said he has little wrists. Going off my crude phone width thing my wrists total width is a little less than 68 maybe 65 total width, his is close to maybe 54. Difference in our wrist widths assuming no camera fuckery which there will be our wrists are near 1cm difference in width.
Like I said I'll try to remember to take a pic later on and then we will see. Might even try find the actual dimensions and cut out a trace of the Watch.

Opinions on this? I thought it looked fairly interesting, had nice complications for the price along with an in-house caliber apparently. Then I noticed the 11 and am unsure how I feel about it.

>>62290372
Huh, after looking into it, that watch has some really interesting tech, and wouldn't suffer the 'lmao unmodified ETA' problem that other Panerais do. Any idea how they measure the 49 mm? If that is the longest measure, from corner to corner, the watch might not actually be too bad.

Cut numerals is honestly IWC's thing at this point. They manage to get away with it too because of the "muh heritage that goes back to when watch makers couldn't afford to make specialized dials". Also IWC's own website says that it's 43mm, unless I'm looking at another model.

>>62290680
There's the SARB045 too, but the indices are larger.

>>62290722
It would look weirder without the 11 than it does with the cut off 1.
That watch would be fine without the 12 and 6 though.

>>62290762
Yeah the only way to "fix" the Da Vinci would be to either make the numerals smaller so that the 11 isn't cut off, or just omit all of them completely. They did remove the cut numbers from the regular portugieser though, which is kind of weird since the chrono still has them.

>>62289676

Very nice. Great strap too.

>>62290790
This just looks off to me because there is so much white space. It is busy enough that it can't really be that subdued or dressy, but it is also really empty for such a sporty watch. I mean, they cut off three numerals, and the font is tiny anyway, but for what?

You people are all watch plebians. This is one of the worst watch communities I've ever seen. You all wank to watches that you don't have, and call good watches trash or puke material. You are all poor bittorrenting pirates and anime faggots.

If you can't tell just by looking at that image, then I can't help you.

>>62291933
The edges to each surface are much crisper, with much less of a transition bevel than the Seiko, the surfaces are much more consistently shaped without the oblong chicklet effect on the bracelet links. The end links fit the case much better, the gaps everywhere in the bracelet are smaller, there is much more machining done to cut in the grip pattern on the rotating bezel, there is much more machining done to cut in the grip pattern on the crown, the brushed surfaces have a much nicer brushing pattern.

>>62291933
look at the machining on the bezels and cases as well as the bracelets. The tolerances, initial machining, and finishing are all far superior on the tudor. Its clear at a distance and glaringly obvious with a shot like this.

no shit

maybe a slightly more fair comparison would be an MM300, considering a GS diver would wipe the floor with it at the same price point

>a GS diver
You seem to be under the mistaken impression I'm anti-Seiko. I'm not. I was just using that pic as a good demonstration of finishing quality for people in /wt/ who think "finishing quality" is made up mumbo jumbo.

Also, GS divers are as a general rule absolutely fucking hideous, and certainly aren't pure tool divers in the style of the Pelagos. The MM300 loses out to the Pelagos on movement accuracy, as the 8L35 in the MM300 is not factory adjusted and regulated much whereas the in-house Pelagos has a COSC certified free sprung, silicon escapement, balance bridge movement.

we were on the topic of finishing, and the grand seiko has better finishing at the same price. my point was simply that the watch is good for the money.

as far as accuracy, yes the MM300 would lose, but at a quarter of the price that is to be expected

>>62301362

Their unique case design gives them a a slight edge over standard dives. Obviously this is the 21st century though so anyone going past 200m is going to be using a dive computer and not some $70 watch made by Dima and Vasya in Chistopol.

Really like the new 37 mm AP Royal Oak. This size fits the design really well with the unibody look of case + bezel and their weird bracelet.

looks really nice as well, might pop a little too much on the wrist, on the other hand the dark grey might look a bit too tame.

Can't really agree with that simply because I never really got the Nautilus. I understand what you mean with the appeal but if you leave all the bling off and stay under 39mm the RO (non chrono) is fine for white people. The "squashed" dial and the slightly thicker hands kinda spoil the Patek for me in terms of looks. Movements are probably on par really, not that I compared them but especially the AP seems to be really tough.
Now the Hublot range on the other hand...

the skx013 bracelet fits as far as i'm aware. The skx end links sort of fit the sarb033, but stick out a bit. I think you can use the original sarb end links, but there will be a gap in the centre of the jubilee links where you can see the spring bar.

There's nothing wrong with ETA movements, but it's an easy way into buying a $4000 watch that immediately resells for 2k due to the depreciation that is associated with these watches that can range from $700 to $5000. Pay the bit extra, find an in-haus movement and consider your purchase an investment if done correctly.

Being new to watches I do not understand this argument

>>62308759
Just ignore it. There are a couple of dedicated shitposters who have spent several months deliberately trying to ruin /wt/ by drowning it in trolling and shitposting.

You can keep posting those pictures, but in the end, SD will always be a quartz movement.

I'm absolutely in love with this 18 carat, rose gold TAG Heuer Carrera watch purchased from the beautiful city of Perth. Made with sapphire infused glass that only diamond can scratch, I've spoiled myself with this gorgeous timepiece. The calibre 16 movement has been crowned as the most successful automatic chronograph movement ever produced, completely handmade by man. It is also my very first day date watch and it will be interesting to see if it becomes an important feature that Will depend on over time. I hope you all enjoy this watch as much as I do.

Archie could sell his Patek which would pay for

- shave off his horns

- get a hair transplant

- personal trainer for a couple of years

- whole new wardrobe

- multiple trips to Bangkok

- money left over
