Holy fuck you're fat. That's a ham hock, not an arm. Lose some weight.

Salam brother.
That looks a bit too big on you.

GOOD GOD.

>>53540209
That's beautiful. Seiko finally learned. What's the model number? This might be the first Grand Seiko I would really want but it's too dressy for my style.
>>53540209
43mm and that pricetag tho

Aleikum salam.
>>53540249
damn i missed that it was 43mm.. i guess that's to accomodate THREE BARRELS
Hopefully they'll release more spring drives with indicators on the back and fewer barrels to make it smaller
>>53540291
can only hope the pr indicator on the back carries down to their more affordable models - it would make the snowflake perfect
>>53540258
>43mm
The lugs made it look like a <40mm watch. I got all excited for nothing.
>>53540209
>dat case, hands and dial
>56 jewels
I normally don't like luxury quartz, but Grand Seiko is an exception, that watch is amazing. The only flaw is that the display caseback is absolutely pointless when everything is covered up by one huge plate.
>>53540277
tbqh senpaitachi how hasn't a single chinaman decided to cash in on this??
What's the most casual looking Grand Seiko? One that can be worn with a t-shirt?
>>53540432
Chose something with a black dial and a metal bracelet, should work just fine.
>>53540432
most of the hi beats on bracelets with black dials have a pretty sporty look
the divers definitely too, but theyre really big

>>53540458
lifting will make your forearms bigger, but not your wrists - that's pretty set, and at 7", 40mm is about as big as I want to wear in anything but divers/chronographs

>tfw fat
I'm a shitty human being, ain't I? ;_;
>>53540458
Thanks for the advice, Arnie, but for a 39mm-wearing wristlet like me going to the gym isn't gonna do it.
Aside from showing off that you can spend money on useless things, whats the point in having a watch in this day and age? I mean I guess it can be useful if you go camping deep in the woods, but lets be honest half of /g/ has not left their house for the last 3 days.
>>53540555
functional jewelry with impressive engineering and design
>>53540458
This argument doesn't make sense unless you can provide me with a graph that shows an increase in the average wrist size over the last years. Even tool watches were not that big back then and this is a dressy looking watch.
>>53540505
>lifting will make your forearms bigger, but not your wrists
This old meme again. Skellies use the same pathetic "MUH GENETICS" excuse as hamplanets. This fucking article was just in the LAST THREAD:

So explain why Schwarzen Negro needs his own watch line of +50mm hubcaps?
>>53540522
Maybe, but at least you can wear any watch you want.
>>53540555
What's the use of a toy train in today's world of transport tycoon games? For many of us it's just a fascination with the inner workings of a mechanical watch.
>but lets be honest half of /g/ has not left their house for the last 3 days.
kekkles, but I would like to think /wt/ has a slightly dfferent average demographic than /g/ in general

You should probably get off the technology board if you're going to make blatant unscientific conclusions based on logical fallacies without any research
>>53540629
I want to believe that it was a genuine question and not just someone looking to rustle some nerds. But who knows, I guess.

Why can't you, anon?

Why didn't you think about it for a few minutes for yourself?

I like it. To me, it's the hour hand and the crown tube that are slightly too big.
Overall it's a nice watch though. That case is really good.
>>53541590
>>53541558
I think he knows. As he's been banned we're trying to phase him out. And smug pictures are always great for that.
>>53541750
Who got banned? I haven't been lurking for a week or two.

Plastic Breitling. Something different I guess.

If only it wasn't 6 mirrion yen. If it was the same price as a snowflake and the same diameter I'd get this over it.

What led this to happen?
>>53542053
He said something autistic to another autist.
>>53542034
Who the fuck is that?
And why are you giving attention to some banned self-important, pompous, attention whoring tripfag with horrendous taste in watches?
>>53542296
Oh hey. It's this faggot again who only ever talks about tripfags. And today he's crying how anon is talking about tripfags.

3 Time Zone Guy here, after a bit more searching it looks like the G-Shock 7700 or 7710 series can do 3 time zones, but it would still be nice to know if the Waveceptor can do it as well.
Also would be nice to know if there's a Rolex GMT knockoff with a field watch-style face since analog's more elegant.
>>53542626
Pic of 7700 G-shock. Not bad, the Waveceptor looks better though and the Rolex-offs even better, just wish they had more readable dials.
>>53542626
Buy a chink travel time
>>53542654
Autismus maximus
>>53542626
Guess it could work.
Also the Casio AE1200 can track up to 4 time zones, and is the cheapest of the lot.
>>53542569
funfact: he's not actually banned
>>53542756
If you were going for a cheap gmt movement I would just buy an alpha GMT II
>>53542759
Appealed
>>53542854
;^)
>>53541073
I'm kinda taken by the ck2998
>>53542831
>alpha GMT II
I guess it isn't bad as far as GMT Rolex knockoffs go, but it has that unusual caseback.
Wonder what kind of movement does it use though.
>>53542854

>>53542885
I love special edition speedmasters
>>53542885
P A U L N E W M A N
>>53542889
Yeah it's not exactly good looking but you don'the buy an alpha for the case back or water resistance.
I think it's a chink ETA clone. They use miyota for their 3 hand watches and anything more complicated uses chink stuff
>>53542885
That actually does look pretty nice.
>>53542966
Yeah, but about 10% of the price lol.
>>53542885
I prefer the new Daytona, but it's a way different price range
>>53542854
good old /wt/ is back boys
>>53543012
Rolex ceramic bezels always seem over proportioned compared to the older style of bezel
>>53542854

>>53542885
>>53543012
does anyone actually use a chronograph?
>>53543074
i would for timing my manual coffee making process in the morning, but servicing a manual chronograph is really expensive, and i can just remember where the seconds hand started anyway
>>53543074
I use my speedy to time brushing my teeth, cooking steak, stuff like that
>>53543074
It's the most usable complication you can get.
>>53542975
It's more then likely a chink ETA clone, and i still do think the odd caseback is a disadvantage. Lack of WR is a shame, but for the price of a 100$ the alpha definitely ain't bad.
Though that's advantages the 150SE has, 200m WR, (somewhat) regular screwdown caseback, and a the movement is almost exactly the same as the 2416/2415.
Shame that it's ugly as shit, i'd rather have the K-34 GMT.
>>53542756
Frequent traveler here, an AE1200 is the absolute best you can get today.
It has four timezones set in quick access, with the main one always displayed in the top right clock as a reference. You can easily switch the displayed timezone from the four memorized at the press of a button, aswell as change the main timezone in the top right. You can activate a handy mode that scrolls through timezones every two seconds too.
And then there's also a mode where you can scroll through all 40 or so cities freely. Quite slow, but does the job.
>>53543101
Yeah I haven't ended up getting an alpha but a few have tempted me just based on having a cheap homage that the the top looks good on. Their bracelets and case backs might be tin but their bezels and dials look alright.

It's not worth saving 10$ on that watch unless you want that specific model.

>>53543352
Also 10 bucks shipping. Although buying off amazon might fuck you just as hard Canada friend

>>53543378
Yeah I figure; just being a bitch nigga about it.
I did remember the vostok watches that were all the rage way back when. I doubt there's another nigga in toronto with one kek
so a bit of a random question.
i fly fighter jets for a living. i'm subject to G forces. currently i wear one of a few Rolexes while i'm flying. i'm a little concerned about G's damaging the watches since i've heard about not wearing an automatic while playing tennis or golf.
are my concerns founded? what quality non-self winding mechanical watches are there out there anymore (besides some gigantic Urwerk that can turn off the rotors)?
>>53543619
i guess there's the Speedmaster Professional. but i'm not a huge fan of the pushers. they feel kinda "cheap" on one i examined a few years ago.

>>53543774
what kind of impressing are we talking about?

you can not pull off "this looks actually expensive" without spending more than $30

>>53543736

>>53543619
RM 27 or RM38-01
>>53543619
Well you have to keep in mind that simply dropping the watch onto a hard surface can subject it to literally thousands of gs acceleration, but I don't know the difference sustained smaller forces make. The rotor is definitely the part of the watch that is subject to the most strain however so it might be good not to chance it.
>>53544372
yeah, the forces i'm subject to aren't super high in the grand scheme of things. 7 G's back down to 3 or so in about 3 seconds
>>53543290
I'm actually not at all surprised that the kind of person who would buy a hilariously overpriced, barely sharpened pry-bar, and then be too much of a pussy to even use it (see: unblemished DLC) would be the type of person to suck the massive amounts of mountain Jew cock it takes to convince yourself to buy an Omega diver :^)
http://www.ablogtowatch.com/geneva-seal-movements-roger-dubuis/
Neat
How much money is considered too much money for a watch?
Seiko Monster. Possibly get a sarb series next.
>>53544781
Anything over 500,000 usd
>>53544510
I googled the question and didn't really find anything definitive, but from my understanding, there really shouldn't be any issue for any well designed three handed mechanical watch.
At worst, the accuracy might be affected while subject to the G forces, but nothing nefarious should occur. With mechanical movements it is high G shocks that are risky, rather than sustained G forces.
My answer would be different if you were looking for a chronograph, however, as there was only one mass produced chronograph movement where the chronograph functions were designed from the ground up to resist G forces: The Lemania 5100.
>>53544781
More than you can actually afford.
Anything you need to buy in installments.
If you can only afford a SARB but buy a vintage Patek, it's too much. If you can afford a used ferrari but buy a Richard Mille split second tourbillon, it's too much.
>>53544888
I would say that you could put a watch on a credit card if you could pay off the balance at any given time, but it's still better to pay cash at that point
>>53545040
sure, there are situations in which it may make sense to pay in installments/on credit
but, in such a situation, it is never a "need" to pay in installments. it must be something you could pay off right away but for whatever reason, it still may make sense to use credit
I'm thinking about getting this watch: http://www.augustbachmann.de/watch/10201-62-mb/
It's currently €99,- instead of €195,- and I kind of like its simple design. I'll probably miss the date indicator a bit but that'll be ok, I guess.
Can I do anything wrong with that watch?
>>53544852
>designed from the ground up to resist G forces: The Lemania 5100
Is there anything it can't do? Besides rescuing itself from swatch's intentional burial?

its a lot easier and more dependable to time things with a chrono
I mean yes I could just look at the time but that just doesn't quite cut it for chemistries or always even for cooking and when doing sports, it'd be annoying to try and remember the times in your head

Noob here, Hi!
Anyone know a >$130 watch that is a dead ringer to ww2 cockpit clocks? I just love the Bf109's cockpit clock style, it's fucking bold as fuck.
>>53546042
Are you looking for something like this?
This is a sight more than 130 dollars but I am just looking for reference
>>53546152
There is a Chinese brand that isn't completely falling apart shitty called Avi-8 and most of their watches are themed after WWII aircraft, some take more queues from cockpit aesthetics while others model themselves after the paint jobs and exterior designs
Think this would look good on an alpinist? I don't have one I am just heavily considering one and hypothetically thinking of what I would actually put on it. Brown gator like the one it comes on would be fine but trying to think of something else. I have already seen the hadley roma thing one anon has, not my thing.
>>53546269
I am not sure if this pulls off NATOs or not. I sort of like this but at the same time it is sort of a dressy looking watch even if it is not meant to be a dress watch.
>>53543178

I was first.
Decided against it though.

I think they are all fairly large at 42-44. Threehanders can come in quartz or miyota 8215. Chronos are all Japanese quartz
>>53553286
Thanks bro, I'm happy with it.
>>53553598
Probably Miyota OS-20
>>53553598
I might look into them then, the quartz ones are probably Miyota too then I guess if they're Japanese?
>>53553678
>>53553695
Seems likely enough. They have a lot of interesting designs that I like the theming of but I wouldn't actually wear.
What's the word for the Guage that subdial is trying to emulate, artificial horizon?
Last Photo Turned Sideways Sorry
It's astonishing to me that Seiko still cannot take as good a picture of their own watches as 3rd parties can
>>53553981
Yeah it's the attitude indicator aka artificial horizon.
>>53554219
Why sink resources into promotional photos when third parties will make them for free
>>53554249
I think it's pretty creative. The rest of the case, though fitting theme, it too much for me though.

Interesting.
>>53554294
Is this because eta is pulling their movement kits from outside swatch?
>>53554320
Yep, now all these microbrand watch companies that only know how to make desk divers have something other than the Miyota 9015.
Explain to me why NEETs need watches.
>>53554380
Works for me. I love desk divers
>>53554320
Yes
Also why so many, including lower end brands like IWC or Oris are making inhouse movements as well.
>>53554398
Last I checked it's not called the Bill of Needs
>>53554294
Does it hack or handwind?
>>53546290
I'm actually kind of digging that. Someone at my office described the Alpinist as something an "aristocratic explorer" would wear, and I think the canvas NATO keeps with that explorer theme. I was thinking of throwing my Alpinist on a brown leather NATO but the brown leather Seiko strap is still gud enuf.

>90% of watches here are seiko
>talking about good watches
This keeps me from sleeping at night
>>53555549
but seiko makes great watches
>>53555549
Why would Seiko not be a "good" watch? any watch that looks good to the wearer and tells time in my opinion is a good watch. There are good watches for every budget and seiko are affordable, quality watches.
>>53555381
Chanel
>>53540157
>>53540243
These look quite nice.
>>53540801
Looks like the same band I have.
>>53540505
This one might be the same too...
>>53554100
Nice one 7T92 brother.
>>53555009
And to comment on a non-Seiko, I really like this one.
>>53555549
If Seiko actually put an ounce of effort into marketing, you might be singing a different tune.
But all you have filling your head is a sack of lies placed there by the Mountain Jew.
>>53555381
I found Breguet Classique 7147 and Bulova curv worth honorable mention.
Tudor BB 36 is only for its size, but that's just.. reusing 36mm oyster cases. Crown tube looks ghastly.
>>53555659
It seems like fashion houses are getting a lot more serious about watchmaking. A bit ironic considering that most Swatch brands and to a point Richmont and tag HEUER etc are pretty much going further away from serious horology just making oversized cases around a slightly if at all modified ETA or Sellita. All while prices keep going up.
>>53555580

All these weaboos in denial. Ha.

I like Colareb straps.

If I had to buy any Seiko it would be this one, too bad its so hard to find.

What Seiko is that, anon?

Chanel has been serious about watchmaking for a while.
>>53556345
I'm not sure I understand what you mean anon.
>>53556278
What what?
Red dot is just design.

>>53556430
Meant them and Hermes, Bvlgari and even Ralph Lauren (ultraslim movements etc) etc.
Perhaps not as in the last 3 months, but 3-5 years ago I don't know of many mainly-fashion houses doing actually impressive inhouse movements and cloisonné and such.
>>53556463
But it's not good design.
Arguably the blind memewatch is moderately good product design.
>>53556585
I think it was Louis Vuitton who also won a design award at Grand Prix d'Horlogerie.
>>53555659
>>53556646
I personally think Hermes' watches are much classier than Chanel's or Louis Vuitton's
>>53556860
Saw the Slim today, it's a great watch. O didn't like the numerals at first in pictures, but it really works.
>>53554219
Why does every watch coming out of baselworld have an oversized goofy looking bezel? Is it because the watches are all enormous now? That Seiko, the new Bigsplorer, the Black Bay with no diving bezel, the GMT AT. Am I the only one who thinks they're really disproportionate?
>>53555145
Blocked out the serial so you can't see its a fake.
>>53557512
can you clarify? you contradicted yourself twice in the same post
>>53557555
How did I contradict myself? The bezels seem disproportionately thick compared to something like this. Is it some intentional trend or is it just part of how all the proportions on a watch look fucked up when you scale it up to larger sizes which is what has happened with all of these watches which are all like 42mm+ except for the 39mm Explorer.
>>53557779
well you said they're all oversized, but the BB without diving bezel is 36mm
the other part i misunderstood, but you explained in this post.
i'm not sure if this is what they intended, but a larger bezel allows for a larger overall size without making it seem as big on the wrist since the dial isnt so much larger
What's the closest thing a poorfag like me can get to a Nomos Neomatik style watch? sub $300 preferably, though $300 is already pushing it for me tbqh
>>53557926
Oh you're right, I was mistaken about the Tudor. It's still a weird looking watch, looks like a bad mashup of the Ranger and the regular BB.
>>53557972
Rodina. Or just draw the watch face on a sheet of paper and tape it to your wrist, that would be about as interesting and three-dimensional and mnmlst as a Nomos.
>>53555549
I would say that the average demographic here consists of students. Almost all good watches are expensive and out of reach for most here. And only talking about watches you can't afford is sad. So most here talk about Seiko who make the best affordable watches.
Anything like this with a 38mm case diameter?
>>53557972
I know one but
>tbqh
makes me not want to help you.
>>53557972
It looks like a watch Target would make.
>>53558015
I am aware of the Rodina Bauhaus, I'm specifically interested in the kind of color scheme Nomos has going with their * Neomatik models.
Though it seems apparent from your post that you're too much of a buffoon to appreciate that kind of stuff :^)
>>53557972
How poor? I bet you could find a used Stowa for a decent price: https://www.stowa.de/lshop,showrub,2004g,en,,anteabacktobauhaus,,,,.htm

Wear your Nomos in good health, kind sir :^)

That strap really makes the watch look good.

>>53558096
My microwave has the exact time and it heats up my tendies too, why would I need a cell phone either?

No one really cares about if you need a watch or not, anon. Just go fuck off.

Can you really not see how having the time on your wrist, as opposed to in your pocket and behind an unlock button, would be beneficial?
>>53558169
having something hanging on muh wrist annoys me though
