Do all Vostok amphibia models have the same bezel fit?
Answer plox.
>>47515749
>>47515883
No, there's two variants, some cases need the bezel to have a step in the side to make room for the crown. If you're buying one the seller should specify which cases the bezel is for.
>suddenly interested in casio data bank watches

This manufacturer specifies that their bezel fits the 120 and other cases that the first Boris bezel fits, so I'd say it's guaranteed to fit the 120 too.

My guess is there's less material to come off a slot-headed screw than the other kinds if the head gets worn.

Aw yiss. If only there was a Ti version of the 356.
I think my next grail-type is the EZM1. Until then I'll keep my 144 wound by violent fapping.
oh shit a damasko!!
>>47517210
I'm hoping Sinn releases tegimented Ti models in most of its stock, especially the 356/358. With titanium bracelet to boot...
>>47517226
The titanium bracelet on mine (minus four links) weighs only 35g. I don't regret going titanium one bit.

I should hopefully be getting my DA 38 Black next week. I'm so hyped.
>>47517296
God that's a nice watch.
On topic: which is easier to service, a Sinn or Damasko? If I bought a Sinn wouldn't I have to send it to Germany to be serviced? Or would I have to do that with a Damasko too?
>>47515226
Nigga please, barrel cases are GOAT
>>47517339
They're both ETA, yeah? They should be serviceable by your watchmaker.
>>47517357
Unless it's an oil filled Sinn.
>>47517339
A Damasko would definitely have to be sent back to Germany if for nothing more than because of their proprietary panted crown system. Supposedly with Sinn you can send them off to RGM Watch Company in Pennsylvania for service.
>>47517374

What's a plain simple, comfortable watch for someone that doesn't dress in suits or like hipsters every day? And personal reasons, no G-Shocks
>>47517569
If you bother so much about what people think of you, you'll come to realize that no matter what you do, there'll be someone, somewhere, hating you for it.
But then it's quite ironic because you're asking people for advice.
Just do what you like and stop having such shitty thoughts.
>>47517650
There are different watches for different fashions.
Why are Victorinox watches so sexy? Are they even good?
>>47517732
And if you exclude anything that is classy or can label you as a hipster, nothing remains. Because you're always someone's hipster.

Anyone have a good recommendation for a watch with a built in compass?
>>47517953
I like the Malte tourbillon better.
>dat case shape
>>47517988
>>47517988
I know Casio and Suunto make ABC watches.
>>47517988
Look into ABC watches.
Suunto and Garmin make decent gps ones.
If you want an actual compass that works, get an actual compass.
Suunto has the M9 (pic related) which might be relevant I guess.
>>47517940
Are they more durable or precise?
I'm just entranced by the absolutely smooth sweep on the spring drives.
>>47517988
Digital compasses don't work the same as regular compasses, and need to be calibrated quite often. This makes using them a largely different experience.
If all you want is a compass, you're better off with a simple button compass, as imprecise as it is, it'll be as good as any watch can be, and way more practical.
>>47517892
>>47517913
Still waiting on opinions.
>>47518250
Do you have problems with the f91s battery time?
>>47518271
I'd just like a watch with solar panels, because they're interesting and cool and shit.
>>47517913
Well for a start the case is coated resin but it at least looks metallic, that watch looks like the silver coloured plastic you'd find on a knockoff console controller. I got the AL-180 because I liked the solar panel gimmick and the 80s styling, I don't really like the AL-190, the case looks similar to the G-shock design.
>>47518345
I hate how Casio makes silver colored resin cases. Why can't they make fucking steel ones? It's not like there' isn't a demand for it, and that people wouldn't put the money into it.
>>47518033
Id say HIBeat are less durable since more rpms = more wear and tear on gears
>>47518419
Casio is more like an electronics manufacturer that makes watches (among other things) than a watch manufacturer that only does quartz.
>>47518345
But isn't that tiny? I tried the AL-190 on one time and it felt really small even on my skelly wrist. And the 180 seem a bit smaller than even that: >>47516719
>>47517353
I don't know man. I prefer pretty much the exact opposite. Small delicate lugs that aren't an integral part of the watch's round shape.
Also, a little autistic, but I'm not really a fan of the look you get when replacing a bracelet on a watch like pic related, with a leather strap. It's the flow of the sides of the case into the lugs being broken up by the leather.
A nice look, I think, is something like a cocktail time. That's a biased opinion though, I love mine.
>>47517940
Seiko sure knows how to cut and polish metal. Everything on that face is gorgeous.
>>47518591
Yeah, it's pretty small, but that's what I like about digital watches, they're just something to put on and forget about.
Just dropped my komandirskie on the floor while trying to wear it. The dial was scratched a bit, and the watch stopped beating all together, then I use the crown to rotate back and forth the minute hand and it is running again. I wonder for how long?
At least it wasn't my Orient Star with sapphire crystal that I dropped, it could had shattered and damaged the whole watch.

>>47518907
It's probably fine. It is meant to take a beating and the tolerances are looser than a cheap filippino whore. I would open the back just to make sure the hairspring isn't tangled or deformed. Just do it on a clean table and wear latex gloves to avoid getting anything inside and for the love of god, don't touch anything. Also check accuracy. If everything is ok then forget about it
One word TRITIUM
>>47519171
Cool. But scary at the same time. Dat radiation.
>>47519142
I have yet to buy any watch toolkit so opening it is a no no. So far it is still ticking happily.
>>47519218
You can open it with a pair of needle nose pliers or long tweezers. Wrap the jaws with plastic wrap if you don't want to scratch the back. Not that it matters anyway, it's a $30 watch
Hey /g/uys, I wanna get a casio waveceptor.
Probably this one WVQ550A-1A1V, what does /g/ think?
Also, using calculator watch right now
>>47519193
There's barely any tritium. Also, tritium produces beta radiation:
>Beta particles(electrons) are more penetrating, but still can be absorbed by a few millimeters ofaluminum. However, in cases where high energy beta particles are emitted shielding must be accomplished with low density materials,e.g.plastic,wood,water, oracrylic glass(Plexiglas, Lucite).[3]This is to reduce generation ofBremsstrahlungX-rays.
I doubt any more than a very tiny amount of radiation would escape the watch. It's only a concern for people who have to manufacture the watch or service it or dispose of it.
>>47519193
Tritium is a low energy beta emitter, so it is not dangerous externally. Beta particles are unable to penetrate the skin.
>>47519271
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8l0sUfN89A
>>47519280
>>47519271
When beta particles decelerate quickly, they produce X-Rays. And X-Rays penetrate every- fucking-thing
Had a look at some basic non-chrono Carreras today, pretty nice.
>>47519365
High energy beta radiation can produce X-rays as bremsstrahlung radiation, but tritium is the lowest-energy beta emitter there is. I'm not going to say that there's zero x-rays but I really really doubt it's anything to worry about.
>>47519265
Try posting this on one of those imageboard things. People on these textboards are always to lazy to look up part numbers.
>>47519193
Your cellphone is probably more dangerous than a tritium watch.
Just brought a white Timex Weekender and when it arrives i'll buy an NATO France flag strap.
Was going to buy an F91W before that but my new credit card arrived so "why not".
>>47519788
Oh a Timex Weekender and a Nato strap. Check out Mr. Moneybags over here. I joke, those are nice watches for their price point.
>>47519865
Better than the F91W i guess. I have an Diesel DZ-4165 here but i don't like it, dad found it on the street and gave it to me.
>>47519865

Hey how do you clean a nato strap? Mine smells like a cast after it gets taken off.
>>47520265
Same way you clean any other piece of fabric? I fill a big bowl with water and a little laundry detergent and soak my straps for a bit, then rinse them and hang them to cry. You could also just ask your mom to throw them in the wash with the rest of your clothes if you wanted to, I just didn't want the hardware getting scratched or something from bouncing around the washer.
>>47520265
Chuck it in the washing machine with your clothes. Don't put it in the dryer though.

one piece, pretty sure all nato's and zulu's are a single piece for ease of installation and to have a layer of nylon between your wrist and the case backing
so long as it has spring bars (and even my $10 chinese watches do) you'll be fine given the nato is the right width
Need to punch a few more holes in the fairly shitty leather due to a terminal case of faggot wrist syndrome, but not a bad watch for $10.

But anyway the correct answer is both.
They're not similar at all though, I don't see how you could hesitate between the two.
>>47522979
that's weird because 99% of all weekenders are on nato straps
I'm kind of interested in getting a Steinhart ocean one, but I keep hearing that the Squale 20 atmos is better somehow. I hate the logo on the Squale and the dial printing is apparently much lower quality, so in what way exactly does it make the Steinhart look cheaper by comparison?
Also why does nobody make a no-date sub homage? Cyclopses are disgusting and I would rather have a lumed 3:00 marker instead of a date window. I don't like the Steinhart OVM or ocean vintage though because the fake patina colored lume looks dumb.

man am I glad the seller I was gonna get that from ran out of stock and I got a refund. That thing's wears like a wall-clock. Should have got the "women's" version anon.

I think you overestimate how many people ever buy another strap for their watch.
>>47523554
Manbushije or wangxiaohong bought from both 0 issues great prices
My latest vintage purchase. I love the dual crown, internal bezel look.
Going to get a perlon for it, but I need to wait until it arrives so I can measure the lug width.
>>47524341
don't know why you don't like the Squale, I think the 50 Atmos is one of the best divers you can get right now. Steinhart looks like a Rolex, so if you think that looks good then all the power to you, but personally I prefer the Squale far, far more.
just to support my statement. the matte steel finish is the best look, imho. they also have it lovely in blue
>>47524891
It's very nice looking, but yeah I like the classic sub look and especially the ref. 14060. I just don't really want to deal with researching and buying fakes and shipping stuff from China so I'm looking at really blatant homages instead.
