What's with all of those mismatched, ugly colors?
>>52129319
What? There's hardly any color there.
I'll just leave this here, in case someone wants to know how spring drives actually work.

This thread is starting off slow, i guess I'll post some of my dream watches. I know some people may be able to afford them, maybe one day I will, but for now I can only dream...
>>52130554
Almost perfect, aside from interruptions in numbers. Not my thing.
How much do these watches go for on the average?
>>52129288
bulova v. movado
go!
>>52130623
Bulova is priced appropriately for what it offers.
>>52130597
Slim d’Hermès 39.5
Case: 39.5 mm, red gold or stainless steel, transparent case back
Movement: automatic Caliber H1950, ultra-flat at 2.6 mm in height; micro rotor; 21,600 vph; very fine finishing
Functions: hours, minutes, subsidiary seconds
Price: €6,000 stainless steel; €13,400 red gold
I believe it am right, it's one of the slimiest automatic currently in the world.
>>52130597
Also heres the slim collection from d'Hermès.
>>52130650
Ai Papi tell me moar

>>52130623
Bulova has some neat history and even today, they are doing things with quartz that nobody else is doing.
>>52130650
The Piaget 1208P beats it by a tiny bit (2.35mm vs 2.6mm), but either way both are remarkable.
>>52130685
How do you tell the time on this watch?
This or a snowfrake are my dreams, I wish the MM300 came in spring drive variety.
>>52130703
Both glorious movements
>>52130722
With your eyes, you look at the hours/minutes/seconds hands.
>>52130722
You look at where the hands are pointing. It's a disadvantage of having a skeleton not having the dial numbers, but you do get to see its sexy movement.
>>52130725

You'll probably enjoy this then

>>52130685
Any watch by Kari Voutilainen is a dream of mine.
>>52130748
>>52130781
Just listen to the sonnerie, duh. If hearing the time every 15 minutes isn't enough and you want to be able to check the time on demand then you'll need to upgrade to the minute repeater.
>>52130927
Or if you're looking for a budget alternative or just want to check the time with your eyes like a plebeian instead of having it chimed out loud then you'll want the Eichi II instead.
>>52130569
Wish these weren't made in such limited numbers. This dial/hands combo is gorgeous.

In the sense that I'd take one if offered it for free, sure. I'd then sell it and get a watch that didn't scream "used car salesman" instead.
>>52131306
>not knowing he has to get up early for trash pickup
Does anybody know where I could find some pricing info on this? It was my grandfather's retirement present in 1969, but the name on the face only brings up more modern watches from the company. I can't find a similar model with the Day + Number combo either. Not trying to /r/ you guys, just figured you know the most on watches.
>>52131383
What numbers are on the back? That could help us out.
>>52131173
Will do. I plan to start collecting watches in 2 years, when I retire at 35. I will be a regular in these threads.
>>52131383
The closest models to that I can find seem to hover around $1k on ebay.
>>52131428
God speed you marvellous bastard, make me jelly as fuck. God speed.

>>52132099
It isn't too bad i guess, i was dirt cheap since the army pays for 80% of the tuition and you basically have to show attendance (come to a few classes every couple of days really). I literally never come on mondays and go to work instead, the only real nice thing is that i get lot's of time to earn shekels.
One big disadvantage, is that when i leave the army i'll be 23. Though not in debt and free to do as i please.
>>52132223
You're going alright. Around here it isn't even easy to get into the armed forces. Ridiculously strict on criminal record and healthiness. It isn't pratical to enlist in anything except for a riflemen or a seamen under the age of 21 unless you are a women or a minority
>>52132287
Well, so and so.
This isn't the US army, so we get paid almost nothing in the short run and not a lot in the long run. Plus i get a technical role (after a 3 month course, as part of the service). As far a criminal records and healthiness~ go i'd rather not even start, since i'm already grinning.
>>52130569
How much are these?
>>52132644
Like $900 but they're all sold out and they only made a couple hundred and they're never coming back. Look up Maison Celadon though if you want to buy whatever they're making next.
>>52132354

Ok that's fine too, I don't care.

Tip your fedora somewhere else man, this is /g/.
>>52132708
You don't like the smallest mechanical movement ever? It's pretty neat, it's held that record since 1929 and is still in very limited production to this day.
>>52132674
$900 is really not that much compared to a lot of watches out there. Hell a few of the ones mentioned in this thread are over $200k.
>>52132674
under 1k could be considered cheap tier depending on who you talk to.
What about smart watches, those are actually technology
>>52132748

I've killed a dog. You don't know a thing about me.
>>52132828
Careful now, don't hurt yourself on that edge.
>>52132816
I'm pretty sure those dark spots are dust on the caseback and not pitting but yeah that balance cock is a little rough. I guess that's what you get for not upgrading to the engraved solid gold version.

Is it possible to fill in a scratch like around the 40 minute mark of this bezel using something like clear nail polish?

It's 42mm. Big, but not hugegantic.

It does look a little small in the pic but that's definitely the moonwatch.

Good call. I get those confused.
That cutie arrived a few days ago. I absolutely love that watch. It's smaller on the wrist but the design and simplicity is just a pleasure.
>8,90€
>>52133400
The key is understanding one has hands too small with less efficient use of lume and ridiculously small font on the bezel, and the other looks good.

Really can't decide on a color of strap to get this thing. Should be easy because it's just black and red, I just know that I want to put leather on it but I feel like getting a completely blacked out leather nato might be overkill, don't know what shade of brown to get either.

>>52147708
moonphase isn't day/night complication is it?
>>52147753
Check Seiko Premier Kinetic watches. I'm pretty sure there are several with moonphase complications.
This is assuming that you are looking for moonphase, of course.
>>52147796
>>52147840
These are close. But they have moon phase, which is cool though. Aren't there any models with just day/night indicator? Or just the Moon incorporated in design, somehow?
>>52147921
How about a watch with a GMT hand or GMT sub-dial? With a 24 hour subdial/hand you'd be able to tell day/night phases.
>>52147921
For a less expensive watch, what about the Seagull D5330? Seagulls are generally reliable.
As far as I can tell, it has a day/night rather than moonphase indicator.
>>52148252
That's very good. Now I did some digging and found some cheapo ones in my proximity by Stuhrling and Orient. Are any of those manufactures reliable? I'm real new here, considering my first.

That's a problem on the 8215 movements which have indirect driven seconds. The memesplorer has a 9015 movement which has a direct drive seconds hand so it should never stutter. Mine doesn't, at least.
Also by the way Vostok movements have indirect seconds too, as do most older vintage movements because the indirect design is sort of a relic from when center second hands first became popular.
